At % mile intervals along each line, quarter-acre sample plots were established. In the southeastern part of the State, because of relative inaccessibility, the Okefenokee Swamp acres) and coastal islands acres) were 'not covered in the field survey. On the forest plots examined, the field men recorded such items as forest type, forest condition, fire damage, density and distribution of repro duction, and site quality. They tallied the trees by species and diameter class and. Made increment borings to deter mine total age of the stand and growth of the timber during the last 10 years. These data, together with some esti mates for the areas not covered by the field survey, furnish the basis for the statistics of area, volume, and growth presented in this report. Information on forest industries and timber-drain figures for 1934, 1935, 1930, and 1937 were obtained from a can vass of the wood-using plants and local wood consumers.
