Caption reads:  "Old field stand of shortleaf pine 50 feet high in 39 years near Cold Springs road, Scott County, Arkansas.  The sample plot method of study is well adapted to stands of this kind, because they are pure, even-aged, regular, and well stocked.  Comparable plots of relatively small size can often be installed.  Unfortunately, such stands are not typical of any extensive areas in private ownership and are seldom found within the present boundaries of the Ouachita National Forest."  Plate #9 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  Unpublished USFS report dated April 25, 1931, on file with SRS.
