PLATK XIV. 



Stand 50 to 60 years old, Quality II, on permanent loblolly pine site, which was culled of the dominant tree* 

 fifteen years ago. This stand, consequently, is formed of the intermediate and suppressed trees of 

 the original stand, which accounts for the very clean and Blender sterna. Under a better method of 

 rutting, this stand would hare produced at this time 35,000 board feet to the acre, the average log 

 being 45 feet D.-S. and yielding more than 60 per cent No. 3 grade lumber and better. Desirable 

 type of seed trees marked "S." (Author's illustration.)
