Plate XV. 
Fig. 1.— After being protested for a period of 5 years, this longleaf pine was defoliated by fire (in 
February, 1917) up to a height of about 10 feet. The photograph was taken in the following 
April, when the new leayes were beginning to show. 
Fig. 2. — The same stand as aboye, photographed at the close of the second season of growth 
(January, 1919). The tree growth was notably checked during the first year (see p. 12), because 
of the extra drain in completely renewing the' foliage. Only the small stunted "runts," result- 
ing from a former period of annual burning, were killed by the fire.
