No volume measured in a tree that did not have an eight foot stick with a two inch top. Each species reaches the height of four and a half feet in about seven years, at which time the tree beans to put on diameter breast high, and potential volume begins, but is not shown in table until a stick eight feet long with a two inch top is produced. Although this early volume is probably not a merchantable volume, it is poten- tially present, and as soon as a definite size is reached, (as for instance 6" D. B. H.) it enters the merchantable claas.
