A REPORT ON CUTTING OPERATIONS ON TOWN LOT


To the Selectmen of Northumberland, N. H .:


Arrangements were made by the selectmen for the sale of stumpage on the Northumberland town lot, a part of lot 119 to the Forest Products Association, Inc., in December, 1942. Actual operations started in Janu- ary, 1943, with Mr. B. M. Merrill in charge. Labor has been hard to get and snow conditions difficult for cut- ting. However, with two cutters working part time, approximately 40 cords of first class fuel wood and 35 hundred feet, board measure, of hardwood logs have been cut to date. Operations are expected to continue at a more rapid pace as cutting conditions become more favorable in the spring.


The cutting operations are being done on a selective basis with an idea of bringing the area into continuous production. The trees are marked for cutting by a trained Norris-Doxey Farm Forester, under the direc- tion of Mr. C. S. Herr, Assistant Extension Forester, and include only merchantable trees and trees that are defective or crowded. While the logs are being mar- keted through the Forest Products Association, Inc., with office in town, the fuel wood is a result of more complete utilization of tapwood and poor grade ma- terial, which is a very desirable bi-product at present wartime conditions.


The cut over area will support a good young stand of hardwood after the current cutting has been completed and will be ready to cut again in 10 to 15 years, bring- ing a return very favorable to the present operations.


34


The area is a fine example of what can be done under average conditions by the application of good forest practices. It is suggested that the area be open for the public as a demonstration area. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT H. K. PHIPPS, Town Forester.
