55. — The owner of this timber, Alex Sessoms, of Cogdell, 

 Ga., has thinned several thousand acres of second-growth 

 slash pine in southeast Georgia. This 15-year-old natural 

 stand of slash pine was thinned in 1934 with no resulting 

 product, then thinned again in 1938, at which time 50 to 

 15 trees per acre were cut for pulpwood, leaving from 

 115 to 200 trees per acre averaging 8 inches in diameter 

 (6 to 11 inches). The tract has been protected from fire 

 since 1922. 



56. — Selective cutting on the Metcalf property, George- 

 town County, S. C.j total acreage 24,000. This picture 

 shous a stand of 60-year-old loblolly after thinning. The 

 cut per acre included 8.08 standard cords of pulpwood 

 and 5,630 board feet of saw timber. The stand left per 

 acre is estimated at 12.6 standard cords of pulpwood and 

 6,460 board feet of saw timber. 



51. — Stands on lands of the H. Weston Lumber Co., of 

 Bay St. Louis, Miss., are being cut over selectively. This 

 tract has been operated for pulpwood and a fine residual 

 stand is left.

59. — On the H. A. Budde tract near Conroe, Tex., pulp- 

 wood was cut on a selective basis. Poor-quality trees 

 were taken out, and those ivith straight, clear boles were 

 favored. The cut averaged 9 cords per acre; 16 cords 

 per acre was left. (Courtesy of the Texas Forest Service.)

 white pines in 1928 on a worn-out cultivated mountain- 

 side field in the Great Smoky Mountains near Gatlinburg, 

 Tenn. By 1936, when the photograph was taken, the 

 fastest-growing trees had reached a height of 15 feet, and 

 a real forest cover had become established. (Courtesy

62. — Logging operation on lands of the ft est fork Logging 

 Co., Mineral, Wash. The cable sky line (bare strip) goes 

 to the railroad track in the lower part of the picture. 

 The area to the left of the sky line was logged uith high- 

 lead donkeys. Tractors were used to swing the logs from 

 the cold-deck piles over to the sky-line road, down which 

 the logs were swung to the landing. 



63. — Selective logging in Douglas fir-hemlock type in 

 1936 by the Westfork Logging Co., Mineral, Wash. This 

 picture shows the stumps of Douglas fir trees that were 

 cut and removed, and the residual stand. This type of 

 cutting resulted in a greater gross and net profit than if 

 the stand had been clear-cut. 



64. — In the Douglas fir region of Washington, the West- 

 fork Logging Co. is doing selective logging. The lighter- 

 colored portion of the timber to the left of track and 

 center spar tree was logged by using tractors. Approx- 

 imately 30 percent of the stand was removed. An area 

 of clear cutting shous in the background.
