It will be noticed that in general high percentages of evergreens and Erica- 

 ceae go with much virgin forest, considerable expenditure for fertilizers (in 

 regions that have been cultivated enough to get any fertilizer statistics from), 

 and sparse population with whites predominating; and vice versa. There are 

 • some exceptions, of course, but most of those are due to somewhat accidental 

 or psychological factors, and have been partly explained in the regional de- 

 scriptions. It is certain at least that the six small regions with less than 60% 

 of evergreens (indicated by shading on the map) have required very little fer- 

 tilizer as yet, and most of them have at least 25% of their area cleared, and 

 more negroes than white people. The relations of leguminous plants to soils 

 and economic features are not quite so simple ,but some of them have been sug- 

 gested in the regional descriptions. 



It is also evident that nearly all the regions that spend over a dollar an acre 

 a year for fertilizer have more evergreens than the average, and also more 

 white people. In region 9 the evergreen percentage is a little below the aver- 

 age, on account of the Apalachicola River swamps, in which deciduous trees 

 predominate, but those fertile swamps are almost too wet to cultivate, and 

 therefore do not perceptibly increase the amount of land that is cultivated with
