Fig. 1.— The simple manner of sowing longleaf pine broadcast as conducted in the fall of 1920 by 
large holders of cut-over lands in Louisiana. The seed carried in sacks and sown at the rate of 
2 to i pounds per acre. The cost was $1.50 for the seed (3 pounds) and 15 cents for the sowing, 
or a total of $1.65 per acre. The grass has been previously burned off. Experiments, however, 
have not yet progressed to a point which warrant definite recommendations regarding the best 
conditions of grass cover and methods of starting young longleaf forests. 
Fig. 2.— A part of the 4,000 pounds of longleaf pine seed collected from the heavy seed crop of 1920 
by a large sawmill company in southeastern Louisiana. The seeds were shaken from cones 
(" burrs"), that had opened on the ground in clear, dry weather, into pans, and brought in 
and sold by the collectors at 50 cents a pound. The large membranous wings are easily removed 
from the seed by a rubbing or beating process.
