Prior to the establishment of these experiment stations, some limited research pertaining to southern forestry had been conduct ed by the u.s. Bureau of Forestry (later the Forest Service) and by some State agencies, but funds for such work were very limited. Some early studies dealing with lumber seasoning and preservatives for railway ties, for example, applied to southern pine species. And other national studies of forest resources and a few local reports on the timber and naval-stores industries provided some general knowledge of southern forest conditions and prob Iems.
