[This question is discussed in detail in the succeeding article.] Again, the farm crop is dependent on the weather, success or failure being a matter of the seasons of each year, and the opera- tions of sowing, culti- vating and harvest- ing requiring prompt attention. The forest crop, although also dependent on the sea- son, is never an entire failure, and, consisting of the accumulations of annual increments, averages up the good and the bad seasons in its final harvest. There is also a greater lati- tude as to the time when op- erations in the forest crop may be performed. A few years' difference in making the desirable improvement cuttings does not entail heavy loss, and only when attention is required by the young crop may a few weeks or months of delay be detri- mental. The harvesting may usually be done when con- venient. Finally, in the woodlot managed under coppice or under coppice with standards (that is, a coppice- growth with a short rotation, with occasional trees [standards] w h i c h are given a longer rotation), which are the most suit- able systems for a far- mer's use, only a little knowledge and skill are required to make a success. As has been pointed out, a simple, judicious work- ing plan, laid out once for all, is desirable with a crop which takes such a long time to mature, while in the farm crops changes from year to year may be desirable. Forest distribution in the United States. We may anticipate a very ditt'erent attitude of farmers to their woodlots and a very different treat- ment in the different sections V /33?»3, of the country by virtue of V-'sS' the difference in forest con- ditions, as well as in market conditions. From points of view we can divide the country vario
