A well-stocked, second-growth longleaf pine stand, 70 years old, on a farm in Tattnall 
County, Ga. The trees average about 70 feet in height and range up to 1-5 inches 
in diameter ; they contain a total of about 30,000 board feet per acre of saw tim- 
ber. The present owner grew up on the farm and remembers the trees when they 
were saplings about 10 years old. The location is within a few miles of the rail- 
road, and attractive offers have repeatedly been made to the owner for the timber 
to be used as piling and lumber and for turpentining. Fires have largely been 
kept out
