Note:—The pine timber on the lands described in the
above scale was on land owned by my father and had been cut over for
logs and square timber at various times throughout the years
previous to this scale. In fact, a raft or two of square timber had
been taken off a year or two previous to this scale. Probably 30% or
more of the pine timber had been removed before Mr. Kirk made his
scale.
