(2) CHESTNUT GROWTH Can expect about 100 good telephone poles or 300 ties with 15 cords of wood, total net approximate value of $100. Investment at end of forty years, same as for sprout hardwood growth, $40. This leaves a net profit of $60 per acre in forty years, or $ a year per acre average. (3) SECOND GROWTH WHITE PINE (NATURAL REPRODUCTION) From actual measurements, this growth was found to yield on an acre 25 cords of white pine and 15 cords of hardwood. White pine is worth $5 per cord net for lumber, and hard- wood for cord wood 1. Total, 40 cords, equals $ 140. Deducting $40, the investment, which is the same as for sprout hardwood growth and chestnut, leaves a net return of $100 an acre in forty years, or a net income of $ a year per acre. (4) NATURAL PASTURES (SO CALLED) There are in Massachusetts over 1,000,000 acres of pasture lands. Assuming that all cattle and sheep are pastured at the average rental, statistics show that these lands do not average $ a year per acre. If from this sum we subtract $ 1 a year, the amount allowed for taxes on valuation and compound interest on valuation, the same amount as allowed in the case of forestry lands, the net income for an acre per year is only 50 cents. This shows that there are thousands of acres of pasture lands in Massachusetts that rightfully and economically should be turned over to forestry. 11 'â â â ""â â¢- '..-.â â â â¢'â I H â ""'â â â â ' *' â â¢â â '-'."-'â v' ' SgESg ...
