A brief history is given for a 47-acre woodlot successively high-graded for the best timber, grazed by cattle, cut haphazardly for fuelwood then placed under management with the object of developing a balanced stand structure for the maximum production of wood volume under the selection system. Four stem-distributions are being tested, two levels of growing stock and two upper diameter limits, combined with two cutting cycles. From the analysis of the results the best, or ideal, stand structure will be determined for this area.
