Fig. 1.— Cattle grazing on a farm in lower South Carolina, established on flat, cut over longleaf 
"crawfish" lands. The growing of longleaf pine is to be favored, because it usually grows open 
enough so as not to interfere with success in five stock. The plowed furrows mark the margin of 
a strip that is burned yearly as a fire guard to protect young longleaf stands. (Berkeley County, 
S. C.) 
Fig. 2. — Longleaf pine stands about 40 years of age on an old field in northeastern Flo-ida. There 
are about 90 trees per acre, of which about 50 are cupped for the virgin crop. The dominant trees 
arc mostly 60 to 70 feet in height and 10 to 15 inches in diameter and woidd saw out about 6.000 
board feet, or about one-half the yield of a well-stocked stand at this age. The land, however, 
has furnished continuous grazing, timber from time to time, and now about; 60 cups per acre. It 
is being carefully worked so as not to injure the trees. (Baker County, Fla.)
