factory artificial regeneration by direct seeding or planting. In addition. such measures as respraying or spraying and disking seem out of the question for the present because of high costs and the fact that mechanical methods, often combined with prescribed burning. can effectively prepare a site either for planting or reseeding without any spraying. 501. 2, Pine release can be achieved pnder certaIn gefinable conditions using 2.4"S-.T as a foliar sprax. With very few exceptions, it was found that spray· ing .effects in the form of hardwood damage were obliterated by subsequent new growth and stem resurge within three years after trea~nt. On areas where a reasonable amount of pine was already established and in a condition to respond to the short term release, chemical hardwood ·contro1 seemed to be just the thing for permitting the pine to come through. This was especially encouraging since relatively little p,ine damage was detected as a result of the herbicidal application. . Even where initial damage to pine apPeared to be heavy, recovery was swift and complete. No increased incidence of insects or disease was noticed, and pine vigor a year or two after spraying appeared to be excellent. It is still too early to fu~ly·measureth~.absolute amount of pine release in terms of increased growth; general, o~servations and limited measurements. however, reveal a marked increase. 3. Adequate marking of each spray swath is a,_jor problem ip both aerial and ground spraYing. The only consistent mechanical difficulty encountertd concerned the matter of. maintaining equidistant parallel swaths. Effective but simple and inexpensive ~lagging 1S a necessity that never seemed to be quite fulfilled. Long flag poles and helium-filled polyethylene balloons were both used, with equally frustrating results. 4. Good grOWing copditions fgr some time pripf to spraYies 8e. desirable. but heavY rains ~iately follOWing spraYinS max adyerselx affect dest~ed results. !fOtes were generally taken on average weather co.nditions piior to spraying, 'amount of rainfall. and general growing conditions •. Theset-ather broad data were used whenever possible to aid in assessing any variatlOu'in results that could not be readily attributed to any other factor. Thegeneral outcome was that, in most cases better growing conditions prior to spraying res\llt.ed in better hardwood control. On the other hand, one experience with a heaVyrain immediately following spraying indicated the undesirability of this situation. A spraying job in 19Sd was followed within a matter of a very few minutes by a heavy rain that measured 0.72 inches. In spite of an unusually high rate of herbicide applied. results were extremely poor. Even sweetgum, which usually is damaged very readily. showed only spotty effects.
