148 ECONOMIC BOTANY OF ALABAMA. 



PIEDMONT REGION. 

 (Pages 67-71.) 



Fig. 23. Looking up Coosa River from hills near site of 

 proposed "Lock 13," Chilton Co. (Opposite bank is Coosa 

 Co.) Water rather high from recent rains, so that small 

 islands are submerged. Feb. 1, 1913. This being a winter 

 scene gives a pretty good idea of the relative abundance of 

 evergreens and hardwoods. The pines are mostly short-leaf 

 (Pinus ecliiiiata). (The construction of a 70-foot dam at 

 this point, now in progress, will make great changes in this 

 landscape, and forever destroy the opportunity for some 

 phases of scientific research here.) 



Fig. 24. Big Sandy Creek at Dadeville power-house shoals, 

 southwest of Dadeville, Tallapoosa Co. One long-leaf pine 

 (Pi II us pal list ris) in middle of shoals, and many more on 

 neighboring hills. (This tree can be found in similar situa- 

 tions in mid-stream at several places in the Tallapoosa River 

 and its tributaries, but apparently nowhere else.) April 16, 

 1906.
