The pioneer forest planting started by Dr. C. A. Scheuck in the 1890's on the Vanderbilt Estate at Biltmore, near Asheville, N. C., was first reported in detail by Haasis (10) over 20 years ago. A progress report by Frothingham (9) in 1942 dealt with thinnings in both pure and mixedplantations of white pine. The present report on continued thinning in the pure stand (which is one of the oldest white pine plantations in the U.S.) covers the first six cuts. The present test is single and without replication, on an area totaling only one-half acre. It can never show howmuch may be cut currently without lowering the final harvest, but the advantage from thinning is becoming increasingly clear. Many of the prospective final crop trees reserved during the successive pulpwood harvests are now about to pass, or are already over the threshold of saw-log size.This marks the stage in which substantial benefits from thinnings begin to accrue.

Prescribed burning is now a standard forest-management practice in the Pine Region of southern New Jersey. Reports on prescribed burning have emphasized its value as a silviculiural tool for favoring pine over oak.Yet its value in reducing damage from wildfires–and in making wildfires easier to control–is equally important. Within the last few years there have been some striking examples of this.
