In the western part of the block, namely, in sections 27 and 34, 
the proportion of loblolly, shortleaf, and hardwoods in the mixture 
is large. In the other sections, however, the stand on the longleaf 
pine land was practically pure longleaf, but the northern part of the 
block comprises the 2,500 acres on which the timber was destroyed by 
the big hurricane of 1886, so that the average stand and yield per acre 
of merchantable trees for the whole block is considerably less than 
for other parts of the tract, with the exception of Blocks I and LV. 
Although there has been no lumbering, there has been a good deal 
of boxing in sections 29 and 32, township 22 north, range 8 east, 
and much fine timber has been badly injured and will undoubtedly be 
burned or blown down long before the time comes for cutting it. 
Table X XVI gives the average stand per acre of the three pines on 
longleaf pine land, and of the three pines and the more important 
har dwoods on creek land.
