Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). The Improvement of the Woodlot 1493 on the side of the woodlot away from the strongest winds, so that seed from the trees left standing will have the best possible chance of being scattered all over the cut area. On the last strip on the windward side it will be necessary to start the young crop in some other way. When the clear-cutting method is used, care should be taken not to leave half-grown trees standing alone; such trees are almost sure to develop very wide-spreading crowns, taking up much room that should be occupied by better trees. On the other hand, it may be desirable to leave groups. L Fig. 217.—Starting a new crop of trees by seed blown from neighboring timber. The trees on the strip in the center have grown from seed blown from the timber on the left. The strip on the right was similarly seeded a few years previously, by timber then standing on the strip in the center. Another strip at the left will now be cut. The few trees of the old crop left standing are to retnain until the crop now starting is harvested, in order to make large saw logs of small trees that are just starting, and perhaps some tall trees that have already been cleaned of branches to a good height. The method of harvesting ripe trees singly or in small groups here and there will ordinarily be used whenever the woodlot is made up of trees of all sizes, only a few of which are of merchantable size at any one time. It is also an advisable method when the woodlot is wanted as a wind- break to shelter buildings or fields, and on very steep slopes where the soil washes rapidly if exposed.
