The situations where the most intensive classification and develop- 
ment of southern swamp lands is likely to make forest planting of © 
cypress feasible are (1) large tracts of permanent swamp covered 
with stumps, under the ownership of a strong permanent organiza- 
tion, either private or public; and (2) smail areas, near good markets 
with transportation facilities, which it is desired to manage intensively 
in connection with other business such as farming.
