Fig. 1. — The growth of young pine is being observed and measured on the fiat " craw- 
fish " lands at the Coast Experiment Station (near Summerville, S. C), a branch 
of the Clemson Agricultural College. The trees are numbered, and observations 
furnish accurate information upon which to base predictions of future growth and 
forest management. Special measures are taken to protect the land from fires > 
Fig. 2. — Soon after the logging, cull trees, short butts, tops, and branches were cut 
up into 5-foot lengths for pulp wood. This is good utilization. Along with Ibis 
class of material, however, all small pole trees and saplings down to 4 inches 
in diameter unfortunately were taken. Some pulp mills in the South are using 
little else besides second-growth sap pine — a practice that is ruinous to the future 
forests, and is coming to be realized as such. (Louisiana)
