Description: | Caption reads: "An even-aged stand of shortleaf pine, Irons Creek, Ouachita National Forest. Man boring tree 10.5 inches d.b.h., 48 feet tall and 70 years old. Here, there are 292 pines per acre ranging from 4 to 14 inches in diameter and 20 hardwoods from 10 to 14 inches in diameter. Although such stands exist over relatively small areas, studies of methods of commercial thinning by the sample plot method would be advisable in stands of this kind before many years have passed."

Unpublished USFS report dated April 25, 1931, on file with SRS. |

Description: | Caption reads: "Stand of small poles on Irons Creek. Man measuring tree 5 inches d.b.h., 32 years old, and 32 feet high. This stand is typical of many on the Cold Springs District, Ouachita National Forest, but scarce on Irons Creek. This patch covers only about 1/10 acre. Such stands large enough for thinning plots have not been found on Irons Creek." Plate #15 in W.G.

Description: | Caption reads: "Pole stand of shortleaf pine that has come in since cutting. Note stump near man in picture and large tree in foreground. Age of average dominant tree, 20 years. 4,000 trees per acre. Rock Creek, Ouachita National Forest, Arkansas. Stands like this and those shown in Plates 19 and 20 are common in some districts on the Ouachita National Forest. As study of growth rates and possible thinnings in such stands would be well worth while." Plate #16 in W.G. Wahlenberg, "Report on a trip for the tentative location of an experimental forest within the Ouachita National Forest, Arkansas." Unpublished USFS report dated April 25, 1931, on file with SRS. |
