Much Revenue
Realized From Forest
Products In State
By W. TAPP BENNETT, Director
Agricultural Development Depart
ment Central of Georgia Railway,
The forests of the South produce
as much revenue as any other single
agricultural crop. Alabama and
Georgia are among the top states in
timber growing and production of
forest products.
These states rate high in produc
tion of lumber and pulpwood. In
1962, Georgia produced two and a
half million cords of pulpwood, to
be the leading state. This amount
constituted 17 per cent of the pulp
wood produced in the South and
10 per cent of the national produc
tion. Alabama was third in pulp
wood producton in the South with
1,690,000 cords. Missssippi stands
second.
According to recent information
from the Forest Survey we are
growing less than one-half cord of
wood per acre on our forest lands.
This amount could be doubled by
better forest management, includ
ing more efficient forest fire con
trol, planting of more trees, bctter‘
cutting pactices, and insect and dh-'
ease contol.
One of the main forestry problmi
in getting better management into
the woods is the small landowner.
Most of the larger woodland owners,
and certainly the wood-using indus
tries, have recognized the import
ance of good forest practices.
In many cases, the small land
owner is beginning to realize that
his forest crop is a crop the same as
other agricultural crops. By han
dling his woods properly he can
harvest a regular crop from his
lands . As more farmers and small
woodland owners recognize this fact
we can expect more production’
from our forest crops, ’
Imagine what could happen if, in|
the future, we could double produc-!
tion of wood. This would mean
that there would be jobs for morel
people, more business for the rail
roads, hardware and equipment poo-‘
ple, banks, grocers, and almost any
other business we have. !
Forestry in the South is a lmsi-i
ness everyone should be interested
in. With very little effort on the
part of all of us we could doublo?
our present high income from the
forests of Georgia and Alabama and |
from the forests of the South as u;
whole. s

Why Window Panes Crack i
Lack of putty and paint on thol
frames of windows may cause
eracked glass. Moisture absorbed by |
| nnprotrcted frames during heavy |
| rainfalls causes swelling of the
| wood. The resulting pressure on the
| glass often cracks it. |

PMA Committee,
1953 Price Support Program For
' Peanuts :
Peanuts will be supported in 1953
as follows: (1) Non-recourse farm
storage loans to eligible producers or
cooperatives, (2) Non-recourse ware
house storage loans to eligible pro
ducers or cooperatives who stored
peanuts in warehouses under con
tract with Commodity Credit Corpor
ation, (3) Non-recourse loans to co
operatives operating under an agree
ment with Commodity Credit Cors
poration. These three methods of
support are similar to the methods
offered under the 1952 program ex
cept that (1) purchase agreements
are not available and (2) the provis
ion included in. the 19562 program
limiting the approval of warehouses
to those areas not served by a co
operative is not included in the pro
gram thig year. Any warehouseman
interested in securing the approval
of his facility for the storage of pea
nuts should contact his local county
PMA office for the necessary forms.
Blakely Peanut Company and Farm
ers Gin & Warehouse Company have
made application for approval of
warehouses to store peanuts and
will ‘be in position to handle your
crop as you desire., Producerg inter
ested in obtaining farm storage
loans on their peanuts should con
tact their county PMA offices.
Scarce Supply
Fireweed honey which is much
sought after because of its delicate
flavor is becoming scarce on the
markets because the fireweed plant
is being shaded out by the second
growth forests of the Douglas fir
region and in addition has become
subject to an increasing number of
parasitic attacking insects.
Nicotine Taxes
The federal government collected
$1,300,000,000 in taxes on cigarettes
alone last year. j
Once Ornamental
The beautiful foxglove found grow-
Ing in the forests and along the road
sides throughout the Douglas fir
region was originally brought to
America as an ornamental flower
and has since escaped from cultiva
tion and thrived in the wilds.
Eye Cataracts
More than normal incidence of
cataracts of the eyes and leukemia
has been noted among Japanese I
survivors of the atom bombings in
Hiroshima and Nagasaki, It appears ;
that the atomic bomb has a tend
ency to stimulate these troubles, al- [
