Fig. 1. — A small farmer in east Texas ran a hog-proof fence around a piece of some 20 acres of 
cut-over land near his buildings. He excluded hogs for 6 years and most of the fires for 12 years. 
The result, in part, is shown in the above view; a full stand of longleaf pines 25 to 35 feet high and 
3 to 6 inches in diameter at breastheight. The owner regards the whole thing with much satis- 
faction, for he has a rich pasture for cattle and hogs and a valuable stand of pine about reaching 
the size of thinning by turpentining. 
Fig. 
-Part of the same cut-over tract shown above, looking in the opposite direction from the 
same spot; unprotected from hogs and subject to frequent fires.
