Turning now to the Atlantic States, we find 200 years as the full average term of life for its forest trees, with the exception, perhaps, of the plane, Platanus occidentalis, which is the longest lived of all.

It was six feet in diameter, and must have been a grand old tree in its day. It had evidently been broken off years before it was blown down, but the length of the trunk up to where it had been broken was 132 feet, and...

Estimating that ties need to be renewed on an average once in seven years, there must be drawn from the forest annually 56,571,428 ties, requiring the timber on 565,714 acres.
