While obvious Environment values such as the provision of raw material for industry can be measured in terms of economics, the indirect values of soil conservation, aesthetics, protection of water catchments, provision of habitat for native fauna and ideal conditions for public recreation and relief from modern-day tensions are becoming more and more appreciated. Forests have an age-old appeal for man and today he is turning to them in ever-increasing numbers in his search for leisure enjoyment. Management, protection and utilisation of the State forests so as to preserve and develop all of these values is multiple purpose management, the Commission's general policy for the State's forest resources. Anticipating a rapid increase in the public demand for the use of forests for recreational purposes, the Commission has established a Recreational Forestry Branch, and a new research programme for the identification of visitor use, desires and needs in the most popular multiple use forest areas. It is essential for planning and development to have realistic estimates of the extent and nature of future usage of Victorian forests. Experience of the United States Forest Service indicates that increase in visitor use could be of the order of twenty times within the next 20 vears. This increased demand will come from a population which is becoming increasingly urbanised and which travels by car, using the forest for a brief time on each visit. In addition to recognising such ever-increasing use of State forests, the Commission has made provision for special features in some parts of reserved forest to be preserved for all time by setting them aside as alpine reserves, forest parks, scenic reserves and reserves for a number of other special purposes. There are now 91 of these areas totalling some 64,000 acres, within which particular attention is given to specialised management to meet community needs, and in many cases with the assistance of highly qualified committees of management and advisory committees. The Timber Industry The total output of sawlogs from State forests of 478,923,000 super The Timber Industry feet HLV was the highest ever recorded. Although the production of hardwood logs at 425,127,000 super feet HLV was some 35 million super fef?t lower than in the previous peak year of 1956-57, the yield of plantation grown softwood logs has trebled since that date and at 53,796,090 super feet HLV now accounts for more than 11 % of total productic~n, and wi11 continue to increase as the accelerated planting programme which commenced in 1962 and was extended by the Commonwealth/States Softwood Agreement of 1966 begins to make its contribution. Forestry Finance The Commission again expresses concern at continuing increases in the Forestry Finance costs of supervision and protection of the State's forest assets due to factors beyond its control, principally increases in wages. This had reduced the number of trained and experienced forestry workers and restricted recruitment of young, active men able to give the maximum contribution should a major fire emergency occur in the summer months. The Commission has been obliged again this year, because of the inadequate funds provided through vote, to supplement general expense items to the extent of $202,493 from the Forestry Fund. This source of finance was originally intended by Parliament for the maintenance and development of the forests. 7 Management Forest Area Management The area of reserved forest as at 30th June, 1971, was 5,656,629 acres, Forest Area which is a net decrease of 42 acres in the year. Changes in reserved forest were:- Acres Excisions under Forests Act 1958, Section 42, sub-section ( 8) 320 Additions under Forests Act 1958, Section 42, sub-section ( 8) 278 In addition, 3,167 acres of alienated land were purchased for extension to softwood plantations and for miscellaneous forest purposes. Additional land in the Dandenong Ranges was purchased comprising 12 individual lots for addition to the fire protection belt, and 3 acres for other purposes. A compensating addition of 14,600 acres of reserved forest is still to be effected in accordance with the National Parks (Amendment) Act 1969. Surveys Surveys Cadastral surveys were conducted in nine forest districts to demareate new reserved forest boundaries resulting from land dealings involving exchange, purchase and dedication as well as alignment of forest access roads. At the Mt. Buller Alpine Village horizontal and vertical control surveys were provided to facilitate developments in that area. Topographic control surveys were undertaken to facilitate the mapping required for extensions of softwood plantations. Forest Mapping Forest Mapping New maps were prepared for softwood plantations in the Daylesford, Macedon, Myrtleford and Bright forest districts, and work continued on maps of plantations in Beechworth, Mansfield and Yarram forest districts. All existing plantations maps were revised with new infor­ mation on planted areas, species and dates of planting obtained by aerial photography and field survey. Aerial photographs taken with 70 mm and 35 mm cameras have proved efficient and economical for this purpose when small areas were to be mapped. Revisions of six topographical map sheets were made to include the latest information, and three new colour maps were prepared and are available for sale to the public. Aerial photographs in colour were obtained for mapping forest infor­ mation in detail in selected locations in Eastern Otways, Neerim, Tallangatta and Bruthen forest districts. Forest Assessment Forest Assessment The major projects undertaken were surveys of the timber resources of coniferous plantations and mixed species forests, and studies of log quality from mountain ash forests. The growing stock of coniferous plantations at Bright and Myrtleford was assessed by intensive sampling methods. The results of these assessments are being incorporated into a computer system for predicting growth rates and future growing stock. Growth measurements were taken in both

It is also known as the decimal system. Depending on how these numbers are arranged determines the value of the number. For example, digits 4, 7, and 2 placed together (472) represent the number four hundred seventy-two. A decimal point (.) separates whole numbers, or units, from fractional num- bers, or fractional units. All numbers on the left side of the decimal point are considered whole numbers. All numbers placed on the right of the decimal point are considered fractional units, or less than one whole unit.

For the units used in England before 1824, see English units. For the system of weight, see Avoirdupois. For United States customary units, see Customary units . Imperial units or the imperial system is a system of units, first defined in the British Weights and Measures Act of 1824, later refined (until 1959) and reduced. The system came into official use across the British Empire. By the late 20th century most nations of the former empire had officially adopted the metric system as their main system of measurement.

Although most of the units are defined in more than one system, some subsidiary units were used to a much greater extent, or for different purposes, in one area rather than the other. The distinctions between these systems are often not drawn precisely.

  • DILUTION CHART Some Numbers Are Rounded up Or Down to Make Measuring Easier
    DILUTION CHART Some numbers are rounded up or down to make measuring easier PIC’s dilution ratios are written as parts. Therefore, when PIC’s label suggest a dilution ratio of 1-to-4 (1:4) that means 1 part product and 4 parts water. Some people calculate dilution by dividing by 4 (in this example), which is an incorrect answer. If you use 4 then you will actually be putting more chemical into your mixture than what PIC recommends. This chart will calculate the amount of product PIC recommends for several different container sizes. When calculating dilution, you should divide the total ounces (or gallons) you are making by the sum of the two numbers in the dilution ratio. For example: You want to make a 5 gallon solution to use in a mop bucket. You want it diluted 1-10 because that’s what the instructions indicate for your particular use. To calculate how much product to put into the mop bucket you take 5 gallons and divide it by the total number of parts, which is 11 (1 part product + 10 parts water). This gives you .45 gallons. To get the number of ounces you multiply this times 128, which equals 58.18 ounces. Therefore, you should measure approximately 58 ounces of product to put into your 5 gallon mop bucket, then fill with water. This will give you 5 gallons of RTU (Ready to Use) solution. (If you want to reduce foaming when mixing, see helpful hint at the bottom. To calculate a dilution ratio that is not listed, divide the number of ounces you are wanting to make by the sum of the two numbers in the ratio.

  • Determine Amount of Pesticide to Use
    Determine Amount of Pesticide to Use Your 300-gallon sprayer has been calibrated to apply 15 GPA. The pesticide label says to apply 32 fluid ounces (1 quart) of product per acre for broadcast application. How much pesticide will you add to the tank to spray 20 acres? 1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces First, find the number of acres each tank will spray: 300 gallons X 1 acre = 20 acres 1 tank 15 gallons 1 tank That means that 1 tank will be enough to spray the field. Next, find out the number of fluid ounces of pesticide product to add to the tank: 32 fluid ounces X 1 gallon X 20 acres = 5 gallons of pesticide product 1 acre 128 fluid ounces The final mix consists of 5 gallons of pesticide product and 295 gallons of water per 300 gallons of tankful. 300 gallons of total spray mix – 5 gallons of pesticide product = 295 gallons of water Practice 1. You are going to apply with a 500-gallon sprayer that has been calibrated to apply 20 gallons per acre. The 40-acre field will be treated with a pesticide at a rate of 8 fluid ounces per acre. How much pesticide will be needed (in gallons), and how much water? 2. You need to apply a pesticide at the rate of 2.7 quarts per acre, in a minimum of 10 gallons per acre of water for ground application. You have a 500-gallon sprayer that has been calibrated to apply 20 gallons per acre, and want to treat 10 acres.
