Fig. 1.— Cattle grazing on a farm in lower South Carolina, established on flat, cut over longleaf 

 "crawfish" lands. The growing of longleaf pine is to be favored, because it usually grows open 

 enough so as not to interfere with success in live stock. The plowed furrows mark the margin of 

 a strip that is burned vearlv as a fire guard to protect young longleaf stands. (Berkeley County, 



S. C.)

Fig. 2.— Longleaf pine stands about 40 years of age on an old field in northeastern Flo-ida. There 

 are about 90 trees per acre, of which about 50 are cupped for the virgin crop. The dominant trees 

 are mostly 60 to 70 feet in height and 10 to 15 inches in diameter and would saw out about 6.000 

 board feet, or about one-half the yield of a well-stocked stand at this age. The land, however, 

 has furnished continuous grazing, timber from time to time, and now about 60 cups per acre. It 

 is being carefully worked so as not to injure the trees. (Baker County, Fla.)
