Fig. 1.— A splendid start for a profitable piece of longleaf pine timber. 
Fig. 2. — Under fire protection, young longleaf pine grows rapidly and in a comparatively short 
time reaches suitable sizes for turpentining, crossties, or pulpwood, and later for sawing into 
boards or other small dimensions. This stand is from 12 to 15 years old. Many young stands 
are, however, worked much too young.
