STATE PRINTERS 32 DERNE STREET 1918 Publication of this Document approved by the Supervisor of Administration. D. Of D, JUL 29 1918 or FOREWORD. We are presenting herewith the results of the forest survey of Plymouth County, the second county to be so studied. The field work of collecting the data here included was carried out under the general direction of Mr. P. D. Kneeland, M.F., assistant forester in charge of utilization, while the crew in the field was in charge of Mr. H. E. Henshaw. The work of com- pilation and of arranging the data in the form of a bulletin was undertaken by Mr. James J. Morris. The facts developed in these county surveys are now tabu- lated for the first time, and cannot be arrived at in any other manner. It is believed that they will prove valuable to those interested in our present and future forestry development. F. W. RANE, State Forester. THE FORESTS OF PLYMOUTH COUNTY. Explanation of Survey. The survey of the several towns of Plymouth County is the second work of this kind attempted by the State forestry department. The other survey, that of Worcester County, was carried on at odd times, and extended over a period of three years. The data were collected and published last winter in the form of a bulletin, which was entitled " The Forests of Worcester County." In the W^orcester County bulletin the reasons for making forest surveys of the different counties of Massachusetts were explained in detail, but it will not be amiss here to review briefly some of the main reasons. Every manufacturing concern or business of any kind at some time or other takes an inventory of its stock. Without such an inventory no business can be carried on to the best advantage. The stock, or raw material, of forestry work is forest land, and since the State forestry department of Massa- chusetts is just what its name implies, the raw material with which this department must deal is the forest lands of Massa- chusetts. If the woodlands of Massachusetts were made up of but one or two species of trees, or if the various species of trees were all of the same height or diameter size, this inventory would be a comparativel}' simple matter. But such conditions do not exist. Scattered throughout the State are many different kinds of trees differing greatly in importance, value, life habits, etc., from each other. Moreover, since the woodlands have been repeat- edly cut over at different times for many years, we find existing a variegated collection of trees of all sizes and conditions; in fact, nearly every woodlot differs to a greater or less extent from others. Method of Survey. In Worcester County each town was covered by one man, who did all the field work. In Plymouth County the men worked in a crew, each man covering a certain assigned section of the town which was being mapped. When one town was finished the men moved on to the next. There were several distinct advantages in this arrangement. Since the men camped in tents it was possible for them to choose a central location for their camp site and thus save time, inasmuch as in going to and from their work they were not obliged to cover the same ground as they would have been had they stopped at a farmhouse or hotel in one corner of the town, as was often the case in Worcester County. The cost of the survey was also lighter, the only expense incurred being for foodstuffs, since the men and camp equipment were moved from place to place by one of the department trucks. For the main part, however, the methods followed in making this survey were similar to those followed in Worcester County. The men worked by compass and pace, using a copy of the United States topographical map as a guide map for each town. Each man would start at some convenient point on a road or edge of a pond and run a straight line through to the town line and then back to the opposite town line on a course parallel to the first, but one-half mile distant. Care was taken when laying off these parallel lines to have them cut the roads so far as possible; that is, if the majority of the roads in a cer- tain town ran in an easterly and westerly direction the strips were run in a northerly and southerly direction, or vice' versa. Cutting the roads in this manner enabled the men to get a truer idea of the actual forest conditions, and it was possible to obtain a more accurate average, because if the strips were run in the general direction of the roads some of them would paral- lel the roads, and since in most cases the type found along the roadsides, which is largely tillage, is not typical of the land lying a few hundred feet farther in, the data obtained in this way would not be trustworthy, as the lines would show an amount of farm and tillage land out of proportion to actual conditions. For convenience and brevity in the field, symbols representing the various types, diameter classes, moth infestations, etc., were used. These symbols are somewhat similar to those used in the previous survey. The map work of each town has been com- pleted, and photographic enlargements of the topographical maps used as a base are to be found at the office of the State Forester. These maps show the strip lines which were run in each town, and contain a symbolic explanation of the different types, size classes, etc. Tables containing summaries computed from the information obtained from the field work are contained in this bulletin. The following diagram may serve to illustrate the method used in making this survey: — St.*\e. 'Ix ni\e.
