For practically every commodity - beef, wool, grains, hides, lard, milk, eggs, etc. - there are standard grades based on quality. A price based on these standards is a fairly accurate measure of value. A person who deals with one of these commodities can use such price quotations in his business operations; in fact, he must. These quality specifications are essential if there is to be any fair and intelligent pricing of the product.

Timberland owners in the Anthracite Region of Pennsylvania frequently ask: What tree species grow best in the region? How large should they be grown? How should we treat them to get the most out of them?

In attempting to find possible means of combating recurrent epidemics of the spruce budworm in the Northeast, research has shown that forest management has considerable promise. Reduction in the proportion of balsam fir to spruce and attainment of the highest possible proportion of rapidly growing trees are expected to result in a less severe outbreak and a higher percent of recovery following defoliation. These principles of silvicultural control have been discussed in detail by Graham and Orr, Balch, Westveld, and McLintock.

A logging job is one of the most difficult types of business to manage efficiently. In practically everything the logger does he is compelled to make a choice between several methods of operation and types of equipment. The conditions under which he works are constantly changing, particularly when he is forced to move fairly often from one timber tract to another. But even on different portions of the same tract conditions can change; the equipment and method of logging may no longer be suitable, and costs may go up out of sight. Many logging operators go broke because they do not recognize...
