RATES OF GROWTH OF SCOTS PINE AND CORSICAN PINE. 39 



Difference in volume of Corsican over Scots pine at same age 

 of 19 years = i'0324 cubic feet.^ 



In forestry, as in every other industry the cry is, and will 

 be, for greater production, and this can only be got through 

 good management. So far as the most productive species is 

 concerned, it may be safely asserted that Corsican pine should 

 be the chief tree to plant on sand dunes and along the coasts. 

 It is better than the Scots pine, being a more rapid grower and 

 a greater volume producer, and although the timber it produces 

 is not quite so good as that produced by the Scots pine, yet it is 

 likely to be greatly used for forest planting in this country. 

 Although growing on pure sand, and fully exposed to the sea 

 breezes, the Corsican pine is capable, as has been shown, of 

 producing valuable timber, and such waste land near the coasts
