Strip Method 
As already mentioned, Davidson River watershed was picked as an 
area on which to cbm~ae the-cost and resultant data of- the two methods.

The census method used was a modification of the parallel strip 
timber survey. A strip width of two chains was adopted; one-man crews 
were used; a set of status Atlas sheets was used as a base map. Strips 
were run a-.roximahtey.1   twenty to thirty chains apart and they were 
generally run at right angles to.the tQpography. Strips were referenced 
to topographic feature's 'ad di~tarides 'scaled from the Atlas sheets. 
*lWardens 1dmundson, Huffman, and Eller were assigned to the
