Fig. 1. — The simple manner of sowing longleaf pine broadcast as conducted in the fall of 1920 by 

 large holders of cut-over lands in Louisiana. The seed carried in sacks and sown at the rate of 

 2 to 4 pounds per acre. The cost was $1.50 for the seed (3 pounds) and 15 cents for the sowing, 

 or a total of $1.65 per acre. The grass has been previously burned off. Experiments, however, 

 have not yet progressed to a point which warrant definite recommendations regarding the best 

 conditions of grass cover and methods of starting young longleaf forests.
