These lovely tall trees with another 15 or 20 years of rapid growth are the very apple of his eye. They are also the apple of the eye of the forester, and under no circumstances should they be cut unless they are growing too closely together, and of this the forester is the only judge. |

- | If in the course of our bushvJalldng | + | |
- | blue-gums, for instance, and hear that ti~ber-oillers | + | |
- | we probably get very indignant and do our best to stop the desecration, | + | |
- | From a scenic point of view we can probably judge better than most people. | + | |
- | But from the forestry point of view nost of us are pretty poor judges, | + | |
- | What determines whether | + | |
- | forest wealth of the country is to be cons,: | + | |
- | Obviously if a tree is tall and straight and has reached the full | + | |
- | limit of its grovvth, it is a pro1)er .troe for the sawmill, and both the | + | |
- | forester and the sawmiller will be ~g~ed. The trouble is that the sawmiller | + | |
- | very often wants to cut trees that have n0t reached the full limit | + | |
- | of their growth. These lovely tall trees with another 15 or 20 years of | + | |
- | rapid growth are the very al)J? | + | |
- | the eye of tha forester, and under no circumstances should they be cut | + | |
- | unless they are growing too closely together, and of this tho forester | + | |
- | is the only judge. | + | |
- | Among the younger trees a certain | + | |
- | the others to reach full growth. But ar.1ong | + | |
- | saplings the thinning must be done with very great care, for if the~/ are | + | |
- | to grow tall, straicht | + | |
- | grow clos·c togethc:r. If too rJany are removed | + | |
- | branches and so become useless as future timber. | + | |
