Photograph of hardwood control. Quintas Herron, owner, and C. P. Durk [?], Soil Conservation Service, examine pine trees released by deadening culled hardwood trees with a basal injection of 2-4-5T herbicide in December, 1954. Planting an acre of pine seedlings costs about $8.00 per acre where controlling hardwoods to release young pine costs about $4.00 per acre. Natural reproduction of pine produces more trees per acre to be cut as poles, posts and pulpwood than plantings. OK-414-3.
