To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Stumpage is reckoned at the rate of $4 a cord. The value ($5) used in the second column is the price usually obtained by owners who cut and haul their own wood to the mill in small lots. If $1 is allowed for the labor of chopping and $1 for the hauling, it will be seen that by this method the farmer gets a stumpage rate of only $3, which is less than the common rate. This method of operating, however, has certain advantages in making thinnings: first, because any quantity of material, no matter... how small, can be cut and sold; second, the cutting, when done by the owner, is sure to be done carefully, and this is important in making thinnings; third, if the work is done during the winter, when the farmer and his team have little to do, the entire $5 can be regarded as clear profit. FOREST MAP. Two years ago the State Forester started the construction of a forest map of the State, through the agency of the census depart- ment. Agents of this department were provided with maps of all the towns in the State, visited the assessors of each town, and from their collective knowledge had them sketch on the maps the forest area, with notes on the kind of growth thereon.
