To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the poorly drained portions of the bench lands the shortleaf pine is generally the dominant timber tree. Gall- berry bushes are an indication of acid soil. CLEARING NEW LAND. On most of the cut-over pine lands some of the original forest remains, consisting of saplings and more or less large timber of in- ferior quality, much of the latter being dead. There is usually a good deal of fallen material, wind-blown trunks, rejected logs, and the heavier parts of the tops, or " slash, " that remai...n unburned by the annual fires which consume the light trash and grassy under- growth. The remaining pine makes excellent fuel, fencing material, and rough lumber for building. On some land there may not be much more of it than will be required for such purposes. In many places, however, the ground is heavily encumbered with fallen logs, as in old turpentine orchards, and wherever storms have blown down hun- dreds of the tall pines. Near the towns cordwood, both green pine and " light wood knots, " as the resinous heart wood of limbs and old logs is called, may be marketed at fairly remunerative prices.
