large circle of friends, Mrs. Hill’s
death has saddened the hearts of
many.

Texas. A large number of nieces
and nephews also survive, among

AID IS OFFERED
IN MARKETING
OF TIMBER
Heavy and reckless o Fig of
timber for war needs, it is claimed
by the Division of Forestry, is pre
venting tiniberland owners from ob
taining the larger incomes that can
be derived through conservative cut
ting and sustained yields.
At this time, the Division of For
estry states that timber is bringing
a relatively high price and there is
a. strong temptation to harvest young
and immature trees that are now at
the height of their productivity and
will rapidly increase in, value.
In an effort to help tiniberland
owners to get a larger income from
their forests, the Division of Fores
try announces that it has added foui
farm foresters to its staff and ex
pects to add others soon. These and
two other farm foresters previously,
employed and four district foresters
are offering their services to land
owners who are planning to market
their timber.
In this service, the U. S. Forest
Service, the Agricultural Extension
Service and the Soil Conservation
Service are cooperating with H. D.
Story, Assistant Director of the
Gcorgi Division of Forestry in
.
general charge.
Timbcrland owners who would like
•to have advice in harvesting and
sale of their timber are requested to
get in touch with district foresters
at Gainesville, Macon, Albany and
Baxley, and with farm foresters
with headquarters at Calhoun, But
ler. Colquitt, Eastman, Baxley and
Pearson, Georgia.
It is stated that plans are on foot
to place farm foresters in other re
gions of the State in a short time.

CORRECTION
In last week’s issue of The News,
it was stated that Marvin Belisle
was driving the cab which struck
Charlie Jordan, causing Mr. Jordan’s
instant death. It was Sterling Belle
Isle, owner of the local taxi service,
and not Marvin Belisle, who was
driving the ear. The News regrets
this error and is glad to make the
correction.
