Further studies of the balanced water cycle on experimental watersheds. Transactions, American Geophysical Union 28: 421-424.	Journal Article	Maintaining a chronological account or balance of the components of the water resource on a watershed is frequently valuable in hydrology studies. In this paper, a time period for studying this balance is described: the period between the times of maximum watershed storage at the end of each dormant season. Changes in ground-water storage are thus taken into account, and, by choosing the beginning and ending points of the year at times of field capacity, changes in water storage in the soil mass are minimized.

Journal Article	Because the growth rate in old trees slows down so markedly, we cannot under our present economy afford to let forests grow to old age until we utilize them. In fact, as the intensity of forest management increases, rotations continue to shorten. Consequently, there is great value in preserving some areas of old-growth or virgin forest to serve as bench marks--areas which show the natural potential of the site, the relation of soil and vegetation, and the impact of disease.
