CHAPTER XVI
4/15

The total cut of this farm forest amounted to 254 cords equivalent to 170,000 board feet of lumber.

This was an average of about 85,000 feet an acre.

The trees were between eighty and eighty-five years old when felled.

This indicates an annual growth on each acre of about 1,000 feet of lumber.

The gross returns from the sale of the woodland crops amounted to $12.20 an acre a year.
