Yield. Throughout Tennessee, in old pastures and in hollows on cut- 

 over land, there are stands of second growth poplars. These are some- 

 times pure, consisting only of poplars, but as a rule contain varying pro- 

 portions of other species, which are chiefly pine, oak, locust, and chestnut. 

 Yield tables show the probable vglume per acre of such stands at differ- 

 ent ages, as well as the possibilities of plantations.
