Large openings encouraged hard maple and beech reproduction. The large trees did not meet current standards of merchantability and were not wanted by the cutters 6 years earlier. Improving markets may permit harvest of some trees in the furture, but others are cull. "Can and should anything be done to help the better saplings? Would there be long-range benefits to compensate for investments made to improve the stand?"

The same place after the first cut. Poor quality beech were poisoned 19 months earlier, and were debarked with frill and sodium arsenite for $4.13 per acre. It is anticipated that hard maple and yellow birch reproduction will have a better opportunity to become established without competition from the beech.

"On some spots beech were nearly all poisoned. We can compare the results with other compartments where varying numbers of beech were left. Hard maple advance reproduction is abundant here. It is about 14 inches high and 7 years old. Most of those about 3 feet high are beech. What will happen to them?"
