It is used in general construction, manufac- tured into lumber, boxes, crates and other containers, also mine ties and mine props. The Short-Leaf Pine ranges from central Pennsylvania, southeastern New York through New Jersey to Florida, west to Kansas and southeastern Texas. It occurs locally in southeastern Ohio, being most abundant in Scioto County. It is a promising tree for reforesting the worn out and aban- doned fields within its natural range in Ohio. It has a better form and produces higher quality wood than Pitch Pine. Under favorable conditions it reaches a height of 100 feet, a diameter of 3 feet, and produces clean stems with little taper, which are often as "straight as a gun ;.
