Excerpt from Growth of Slash Pine Plantations on the George Walton Experimental Forest The U. S. Forest Service has leased rent-free for 50 years 4200 acres of these lands for research purposes. Included in the area are 600 acres of Mr. Walton's plantings. Figure 1 outlines the forest and its plantations. With One exception, all planting stock came from Georgia State nurseries. One shipment of seedlings came from Louisiana, but there is strong suspicion the seed were collected in north Florida and south Georgia. All planting was done with the planting bar. No site preparation was employed but most of the fields in the early years were cross-scored with a plow to indicate the desired spacing. In later years scoring has been in one direction only. The spacing employed has varied from year to year. Emphasis at first was on naval stores and consequently all-the older plantings are widely spaced as few as 150 trees per acre. As pulp mills moved south and the market for pulpwood expanded, Mr. Walton reasoned that the wide spacings were not fully utilizing the growing space in the early years, and subsequent spacings were somewhat closer. The 1946 planting, for instance, was 6x8 feet, or 907 trees per acre. Most of the plantations of wider spacing are now of merchantable size and are the basis for this report. Plantings made since 1946 are not included. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
