Fig. 1. — A splendid start for a profitable piece of longleaf pine timber 
Fig. 2. — Under fire protection, young longleaf pine grows rapidly and in a com- 
paratively short time reaches suitable sizes for turpentining, crossties, or pulp

from 12 to 1-3 years old. Many young stands, however, are worked much too 
young
