"These Cl1l$SC.~, unlike the old aristocratic feudal classes (almost) have never had ‘their people’ to consider." Colonel Biiightlm wrote: “fhey have never had anyone to think of but themselves.” I-lowi the Colonel expects to raise officers for an army of 4,000,000 or 5,000,000 men from the comparatively fcw “ruling classes," he did not state. But seeing that the system suc- cessfully adopted in the last Vvar is again being followed, it is hard to see what he has got to com- plain about.

It ts a. mistake to cut small trees for lumber. They should be allowed to reach a. size of at. least I2 inches In diameter. A tree of 10 inch dia- tered will Yield about; 25 board feet. In sawtnz trh trees into lumber there 11s about 60% waste. A tree o! 15 inch diameter will yield 140-150 board feet. and 1n sawing there will be about 20% waste. Thus the cut- ttntl 0f small trees for lumber Ls very wasteful and the cost is corres- pondtnzlv high. ‘This waste ls reduc- ed considerably 1f such products as box shocks and dimension stock are manufactured from the waste wood. but even then there is much more waste from the smaller logs than from the larger.

As an example of the advtsfabtl- ltv of’ allowing the trees w reach a lune size before cutting. consider the foLowlnrlz a tree of t0 tneh 111a- meter will vteld when sawn. about 25 board feet of lumber. A tree of t2 inch diameter wtll vfeld about 65 to 70 board feet, more than twice as much as a. 10 inch tree. It. takes on the average about 8 years for me I0 inch tree to reach a diameter of 12 inches. In other words by waiting 8 vc-ars the woodlot owner can set; double the lumber and double the money. Very few other invest- ments wlll double your money in 8
