Fig. 1. — The growth of young pine is being observed and measured on the flat •■crawfish" lands 
at the Coast Experiment Station (near Summerville, S. C). a branch of the Clemson Agricul- 
tural College. The trees are numbered, and observations furnish accurate information'upon 
which to base predictions of future growth and forest management. Special measures are 
taken to protect the land from fires. 
Fig. 2.— Following closely behind logging, cull trees, short butts, tops, and branches are being cut 
up into 5-foot lengths for pulpwood. This is good utilization. Along with this class of material, 
however, all small pole tree- and saplings down to I inches in diameter unfortunatelv are being 
taken. Some pulpmills in the South are using little else besides second-growth sap pine — a prac- 
tice that is ruinous to the future forests, and is coming to be realized as such. (Louisiana.)
