Comparison of Cost Incurred In the Nursery Production of Improved and Regular Southern Pine Seedlings

The title of this paper and the subject to which I will address myself are merely circumstantial and perhaps even coincidental. Because in the modest opinion of this speaker, a more appropriate and far-reaching subject would be to identify and discuss some of the problems and techniques involved in producing the highest quality southern pine seedling possible in our forest tree seedling nurseries today. You will note that I did not include in the latter any reference to costs or any other imputation that may have stipulated within "acceptable economic limits". For that matter, we don't know what these limits may be on the part of the buying public until some framework of definitions is established and that we can identify exactly what this highest quality seedling that can be grown or produced will do for the planter or landowner in terms of these definitions.
