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.

About 50 years ago white pines occupied the overstory here. The red maples came in after cutting; most are of poor quality even for pulpwood. "Has 50-years growth been wasted?"
