PLATE XVI, 



Fig. 2. 



Figs. 1 and 2. — Views taken on opposite sides of a road in Jasper County, S. C. One side is 

 burned over nearly every year, while the other is protected by a near-by farmstead and two 

 roadways; the contrast in development and growth is probably representative for the whole 

 longleaf pine belt. A count in the burned stand revealed the fact that the last fire had killed 

 just one-third of the total number of trees, as shown by the white tags. 



EVERY FIRE TAKES ITS TOLL.
