Plate XXI 
Fig.. 1. — Because of fires, only a very small percentage of the young trees ever get 
beyond the small sapling stage. The location shown is in Louisiana, only 5 miles 
from a large paper-pulp mill which uses over 500 cords of wood daily and will 
greatly need supplies of pulp wood within a few years 
Fig. 2. — Such timber as this, requiring for growth from 100 to> 150 years, if pro- 
duced in the future will be grown mostly under State or National control rather 
than under private ownership. The State and Federal Governments, cooperating 
with the private owner, have a large and important place in any program of 
reforestation
