The total yield of the three pines on the whole of this block is: 
Board feet.

The average yield per acre of each pine on each type may be found 
in Tables XX VII and XXVIII. 
Block [V comprises sections 4, 5, 6, 7,17, and 18 of T. 23 N., R. 7 E.

In this block the character of the forest on the longleaf pine land 
is somewhat similar to that of Block I. In point of numbers the lob- 
lolly and shortleaf pines of the smaller diameter classes predominate 
over the longleaf. Of the trees of merchantable size (12 inches and 
over in diameter) the proportion of longleaf is greater than that of 
the other pines, but the yield per acre in board feet is low. As 
regards the present yield and the possibilities of future yields of long- 
leaf pine, Block IV has only a little more value than Block I. The 
second crop promises to be composed almost entirely of loblolly and 
shortleaf pine. 
Table X XIII gives the average stand per acre of the three pines on 
longleaf pine land and of the three pines and the more important hard- 
woods on creek land.
