46 percent is in the pine types. With the exception 

 of a few areas, including several private hunting 

 estates, old-growth timber is found in small scat- 

 tered tracts that, because of ownership or location, 

 have thus far escaped the wholesale liquidation to 

 which these old-growth forests have been subjected 

 during the last 60 years. Forty-seven percent of 

 the area in uncut old-growth stands is in hardwood 

 forests. These stands also are generally small and 

 scattered along the river bottoms and in swamps 

 and bavs. 



Partly cut areas of old-growth pine, hardwood, 

 and cypress average about 3,600 board feet or 

 14 cords per acre, and are found scattered over the 

 area. Over half of the partly cut old-growth area 

 is occupied by longleaf and slash pine types, and 

 has been, or is being, worked for turpentine. 



Second-growth stands, chiefly turpentine pines, 

 occupy nearly 7% million acres, or 77 percent, of 

 the forest area. Approximately 43 percent, or al- 

 most 3^2 million acres, of the second growth is of saw 

 timber size, the uncut portion averaging about
