Part IY.] Glasson : Artificial Regeneration of Sal. 7 
the new crop will be considerably higher than the figures given above. 
Exact costs are not available but the estimate for wove wire fencing 
works out at less than Rs. 20 per acre ; so it is anticipated that the total 
cost will not exceed Rs. 30 per acre which is well within the economic 
limit. 
IV. Conclusion. 
11. This method of regeneration is only applicable where forest 
villagers can be settled. It may prove possible to work part of the dry 
sal forests in a similar way with hired labour and this is being tried now. 
The same method is being used for the regeneration of other species, 
in areas not suitable for sal with the difference that in the case of faster 
growing species such as Toon, Gomari and Simal, only one year’s culti¬ 
vation is possible. 
12. Much remains to be done before we can hope to regenerate the 
full annual coupe under the Regular Method, but in Buxa Division alone 
some 160 acres of sal forest was regenerated by this taungya method 
in 1919 and the area should increase rapidly as the villagers become 
trained to the work.
