These figures, aside from the one quoted from Graves, cover thecost of lopping small trees which cannot be utilized, but which mustbe cut and lopped in connection with road work. They cover also the cost of lopping trees felled but found to be culls,from which little or no utilization is possible, but which must neverthe-.
