The small average size of the farms, the pressure of population, the depend- ence of agriculture upon farm stock give mountain land a high value for grazing during certain seasons of the year. The value of such land in many localities may be taken at one sheep per acre. To withdraw the land from grazing, and it is probable that the best grazing land only would re- pay planting, would seriously disturb the agricultural population. Such disturbance could only be accom- plished by a gradual change in the habits of the population, and by demonstrating that the profit from forest planting is greater than the profit from grazing, and that the plantations are on the whole, by affording employment for labor, more of a source of support to the com- munity than the animals they dis- place A large proportion of the moun- tain land cannot be expected to profit- ably produce timber. Due chiefly to the prevafling Southwest wind, which dries the trees out and checks growth, the upper limit of commercial forest in Ireland is about 1200 feet absolute elevation; the limit of the growth is in the neighborhood of 1500 feet. Towards the West coast, where the influence of the wind is more strongly felt, the limit of commercial forest is about 900 feet. As the upper limit of tillable land over the greater part of the island is around 700 feet there is not a great area, even not allowing for the grazing, avail- able for commercial forest.
