Abstract

Partial cuttings of one kind or another have been widely proposed by foresters to improve existing forest practices. Quite often these proposals are made without having any facts whatsoever regarding how they will influence the cost of operation. The following paper describes a detailed study of the costs involved in clear-cutting and partial cutting of jack pine. The results are enlightening and largely encouraging.
