CUTTING AREAS 
Sawyers working on a wage basis may not be assigned to 
specific bounds, but cut where the foreman of the camp or the 
saw boss direct. When the work is done by contract, fallers 
are assigned to definite bounds in order to facilitate the measure- 
ment of the cut timber and to insure the felling of all merchant- 
able timber; otherwise the workmen may leave trees which are 
difficult to cut or which would entail so much labor that their 
daily earnings would be reduced.
