Meson, four thinning plots at different localities over the Arboretm, Three of the plots were one acre each and one was half en acre. Three check plots, two an acre in area, end one a half acre, were etsbliehed near the thinning plots, E&ch tree in the seven plots was nrnbered anci given a nets]. tag b.aring its n.mber. The trees vere terked by Leeon end t'elled d.ring their dormant stage in the winter of 1926. The eleh was lopped bnd cttered on one plot and lopped on another, the other two were left as tney were. On those two plots where slaeh disposal WLs practiced the felled trees were trimmed, all limbs oi cut of t next to the bole. Ii the winter 128 vo1e rceeeurementa were taken ot all the felled trees of the plots. The data were recorded on form 5b8a end the vo1mee were plotted graphically.

Several things ere considered, an it was finally decided to leave them nd observe the rate of eoay 'ander the exiet.ing eo.ditiona. The fellowship in forestry given by rs. ar . L. c3oneld has afforded an opportunity to carry on this study, Under the direct eperviaion of Professor Earl G. Meson this at.ady was carried on by the writer and an assistant, r. Herbert Wiflison. The atady as outlined will continue over a niber of years with observation8 after each five year period. The present study is uerel the first of the series of periodic observations. The object Ia to uetermine the extent of decay now present in the lo'a, and the comparetiv amounts of each species of decay, with an explanation of the probable cause of the entrance and development of each of the types of rot.

S thick. if it could be ehown that the thickness of sapwood in these larger 8amplee, at the time of felling, w.s con.. sietently three thches or over ira thicknes, th theory, that sapwood end rot tbickne correlate, could be craven. it appears that there is aouie correlation between this factor and the thickness of rot. Axother observation that wee meos points to this taue conclusion. In plot 2A the average thickness of rot found was ,6l inches, which was lees than for the other three plots. The censity of the stand on this plot wa greater then on the other three plots before the thinning was rnaae, arid this dense stand would cn a slower growing tend aria therefore a lesser th.oneec of aepwood. Then if the sapwc.od was not so thick it might account for the ttiicknes a! rot beth lees on this plot. JUl species of decay found on th S Qlote ware &'apwood rota, however, the two epeciea, louisa pinicola an F. ppla netu also a teak exposed heertvcoa, and j. &ppinatua seems to attack only under very nit.it conoition. Wherever the bark wee tight, and no wounas or breaks occrea the rirci pal species found was Polyta.ctj abieti. Where the bark was off, or where it bed been cut thru with an ae, the principal rot found was . piniou1, and it we the only rot found where breats or cracks ex?osea heartwood. From plate it uiy be seen that .. abieinu is very consistent in the rot thickness, and because this is a sapwood rat, it would 14 inQicato that taprood. thioknes niiht correlte with rot thiokneas if thit w the only rot prert Pros obeervDtiG1 in the field na froai the rcter in the office it apper that in the firat fivc yesre . pinicola. wiLl work only in the iwpwooci if heortwod is not expced, and that exposed weod is neceBaur Lcr its preetice ot all, while the other rota encontere4 in this atud seerr to be able to perz.ecte the tcrk. Another theoretica]. conclusion suggested by the data that the vo1ui.e of iood decayed the first five years is larger than that volume that will be dec&ied during the second five year period. Thia ir eion by the consistent thickncs of rot in al]. sine dieter of the sap1es. The deca. seeia to be able to perrneate only so far in the first five ysare, no motter whet the diateter iB, with the only deviation frock this being that in the smaller saple it aees to perzneat a little less. if the deoa keeps growing at the esme rote, which is doutttul because of the large percentage of ssçwood rot, the triic&ness of rot-growth the second five yecr Vi11 be the sante as the thickness of rotgrowth the first five years.
