1: Poor practice. The bark-bar has not been maintained. Too large an uninterrupted
area of the tree's circumference is being cut away. The wood will dry out and
die, causing the face to become partially or wholly unproductive. The tree may
eventually be killed.
Caption 2: Soperton, Georgia. Treutlen County. Poor chipping. End of 1st year
work on 11" D.B.H. longleaf pine. Bark barr cut between the 2 faces at end
of 1st year. NS-1. Lib. No. 5.21213.
