INTRODUCTION 



The volume, yield, and stand tables presented in this publica- 

 tion have been worked up from data gathered in a region-wide 

 study of the rate of growth of the principal southern pines. 

 Funds for beginning this study were furnished by the Southern 

 Pine Association, of New Orleans, La., through the National 

 Research Council. Plans for the study were outlined by 

 Raphael Zon, of the National Research Council, and the Forest 

 Service.
