Determining Southern White Cedar Yields

'fhe popular commercial principle of quick turnovers is exemplified in forest manag'ement through thet study of the maximum annual yields of different species, announces the Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture. From yield tables thus determined the turnover, or rotation period of the forest crop, can be estim,ated. C. F. Korstian, silviculturist of the Appalachian F'orest Experiment Station at Asheville. N. C.. assisted bv W. B. McMillan, is preparins such yield tables for southern white cedar throughout the South Atlantic States. These tables will show the r.olume production that may be secured in this region at different a,ges and will thus indi'cate tl.re earliest profitable age for cutting the trees, or rotation period for this crop. Future management of southern white cedar among private gro\vers rvho are followin$ efficient methods on their woodlands will be based on these tables.
