It includes the greater part of the schist and shale formation in 
the western part of the tract. The effect of the more fertile soil is 
shown in the composition of the forest on the longleaf pine land, 
where the proportion of hardwoods in the mixture is often large 
and the percentage of the shortleaf and loblolly pines is considerably 
higher than in Block Il. <A glance at the stand table, however, will 
show that the trees of these species are mostly small—of sapling and 
pole size—and consequently do not greatly affect the present yield in 
board feet. Of the longleaf pine, although the actual number of trees 
per acre is a trifle larger than in Block II, the size runs somewhat 
smaller, so that the yield in board feet per acre is a few hundred feet 
less. 
Table VIII gives the average stand per acre of the three pines on 
the longleaf pine land, and of the three pines and some of the more 
important hardwoods on the creek land. The average vield per acre 
_ of each pine in each type is given in Tables XII and XIII.
