Excerpt from How to Make Improvement Thinnings in Massachusetts Woodlands In the town of Petersham we found an old pasture, containing a thick growth of gray birch, among which a lot of young pines now about twelve years old showed in an ideal way their struggles to get above their grasping neighbors. A half-acre sample plot was measured off, and all the birches cut on one-half of this plot. The other quarter-acre was not touched, so that there could be a comparison made of the difference in the growth of the pine on the immoved and unimproved sections. If our theory proves cor rect, a very few years will suffice to Show the difference. Two men spent two and one-half days in getting out the birch and piling the brush, and the usable product was 4 cords of fire wood.
