Fig. 1. — Cattle grazing .on a farm in lower South Carolina, established on flat, cut- 
over longleaf " crawfish " lands. The growing of longleaf pine is to be favored, 
because it usually grows open enough soi as not to interfere with success in live- 
stock raising. The plowed furrows mark the margin of a strip that is burned 
yearly as a fire guard to protect young longleaf stands. (Berkeley County, S. C.) 
Fig. 2. — Longleaf pine stands about 40 years of age on an old field in northeastern 
Florida. There are about 90 trees per acre, of which about: 50 are cupped for the 
virgin crop. The dominant trees are mostly 60 to 70 feet in height and 10 to 15 
inches in diameter and would saw out about 6,000 board feet, or about one-half the 
yield of a well-stocked stand at this age. The land, however, has furnished con- 
tinuous grazing, timber from time to time, and is now furnishing turpentine at 
the rate of about 60 cups per acre. The stands are being carefully worked so as 
not to injure the trees. (Baker County, Fla.,)
