Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cost of Growing Timber in the Pacific Northwest, as Related to the Interest Rates Available, to Various Forest Owners The cost per acre of growing timber anywhere depends on five main factors, viz. (i) The value of the land, (2) The cost of stocking it with young trees, (3) The administration of the operation and protection of the young timber, (4) The taxes, (5) The rate of interest. The cost per thousand feet depends in addition upon the productivity of the land in volved. For the purpose of this discussion, however, the statement may best be put in another way, namely, that the costs per acre are as follows: (1) Interest on the value of the land, (2) The cost of stocking it with young trees, (3) Interest on this amount from time of stocking to maturity, (4) The annual expenses for administration and protection, (5) Interest on each annual expense from time of expenditure to time of maturity of the timber, (6) The annual taxes, (7) Interest on each annual tax from time of payment to maturity of the timber. The total of these costs per acre, divided by the average product per acre gives the cost of producing board feet of timber. The amounts for some of these items vary with natural conditions, and of others, with the ownership of the land. Thus state or federal ownership modifies the element of taxes and changes the rate of interest. Private ownership might facilitate administration in some ways, though it can hardly be expected to reduce the cost, owing to the smaller areas administered. The amounts of the various items under various conditions and forms of ownership are discussed below. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
