management practice Only the over mature trees and those unlikely to live until the next cut is made in 20 to 30 years will be marked for cutting In an old stand of this type the growth put on each year is balanced by losses in the unthrifty and high risk trees After cutting the remaining trees are the best trees in the stand and aa a result a net growth will be obtained Beattie said that in connection with this sale existing roads will be improved and new roads will be built and maintained The new roads will be built on a location which will hold soil runoff to a minimum The slash and debris resulting from the operation will be piled and burned along roads and selected ridges thereby forming firebreaks from which it will be possible to fight a forest fire The slash adjacent to tractor skid trails where logs are pulled or skidded will be chopped up and placed in the skid trails The forest headquarters noted this also is a measure designed to prevent loss of soil by water

makp the growth of clear wood possible in a much shorter time than would be possible naturally Beattie stated that by thinning or weeding out the less valuable trees the added growth will be on the
