Pine Sprouts at Whitings. 



In discussing the question of sprout Pine growth it is instruct- 

 ive to study both verbal and visual pictures of an area which is 

 surely of this origin. This forest is about one mile west of the 

 preceding acre, and is probably of the same age as the smaller 

 trees on that plot. The young pole-wood has a density nearly 

 normal, and the soil is a dry white sand. There is an under- 

 growth of huckleberries and Scrub and Post Oaks, but the area 

 has not been burned over and the humus is excellent.
