FiG. |.—ADVANCE REPRODUCTION BEFORE BROADCAST SLASH BURNING 
Such reproduction is the result of fire protection, and means that the new crop of timber on 
this land is by so many years nearer maturity 
Fic. 2.—SEED TREES KILLED AND REPRODUCTION WIPED OUT 
- The same view as that above, after broadcast slash burning, tells the story of a practice that 
has made many thousands of acres in the California pine region unproductive, a loss to the 
owner, the State, and the Nation
