THE STAND BY BLOCKS. 
Block [ comprises section 18 of T. 24 N., R. 18 E., and sections 11% 
12, 13, 14, 23; 24, 25, 26, and 27 of T. 94 N., R. 17 EK.” Its areas

The topography is rolling. | 
On the longleaf type the stand is pure longleaf, with little or no] 
hardwood undergrow th. It is on this block that logging and turpen-. 
tine operations are at present being carried on. In sections 11, 12, 13, | 
14, and 18 the company is cutting the be to a diameter limit of 15° 
anes breasthigh. In sections 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27 the turpentine 
firm is boxing the trees to the same limit. In section 26 timber is_ 
being cut from the private holdings. | 
The stand and yield on this block was heavier than on any other 
part of the tract. Cutting to a diameter limit of 15 inches, the average | 
yield of longleaf pine on the longleaf pine land would have been at 
least 9,000 board feet. 
On ie creek land the average yield of loblolly, combined with the! 
small amount of longleaf and Siaes which has crept in along the 
edges of the type, cutting to the same limit, would have amounted to. 
a little over 1,100 feet. | 
Table VI se the number of trees per acre that will be left on) 
the longleaf pine land, as a basis for a second crop after lumber- 
ing, if the 15-inch ira is strictly udhered to and no trees under this: 
size are cut, boxed, or otherwise injured. —— will be distributed |
