Forest OF the South

has not been opened up enough TO let in
sufficient light TO allow young poplars
TO start growing. In addition. poplar
seedlings are very easily injured by fire;
even slight ground fires kill them. Fires
have been very common throughout the
region and thus successful reproduction
of poplar has often been greatly him
dered
Hemlock occurs over small portion
of the region. and white pine over a still
smaller part; both contine themselves to
the mountainous sections. AS rule
hemlock has not been considered mer-
chantable. because it is generally impos
sible to log and sell ii in northern mar
kets in competition with hemlock from
Michigan and Pennsylvania. The little
remaining white pine is numbered in n
few localities on large scale, and the
supply will soon be exhausted.
Chestnut is very abundant 1t forms
a large proportion of the stand in the
mountain districts. but decreases in
quantity westward, until it practically
disappears in western Tennessee and
Kentucky. Mature chestnut is damaged
more severely by fire than any of the
other species of the region. A consider
able part of its mature timber is defect
i've for this reason. Much of the timber
is also wormy. In the past but little
chestnut has been cut for lumber, but
the output is now increasing A new
use for chestnut, which has developed
very rapidly in the last few years, is for
making tannin extract. For this purpose
