of farm machinery, says R. W.
Graeber, Extension forester of
N. C State College. A lot depends
upon the kind and condition of
the soil, and the purpoae for
which it will be used.
Trees vary in growth habits
according to soil, climate, moia-
tnre, and degree of fertility. For
instance, the white pine does beat
in the mountains, the longleaf
pine in the sandhills, the shortleaf
pine in the Piedmont, and t h^e

Plain.
