APPENDIX

ESTIMATED WEIGHTS ON FOREST PRODUCTS. Lumber is considered “Dry” when cut and piled four months or over; “Part-seasoned” when cut and piled at least two months; and “Green” when cut and piled less than two months.

Cordwood is considered “Dry” when cut and piled at least six months.
One cord is 128 cubic feet: thus 8' x 4' x 4' =128'.

To ascertain contents in inch measure of a carload of lumber, multiply the length in feet, the width in feet, and the height in inches together; the product will be the number of feet, inch measure. Allowance should be made for waste space in car (if any).
