Value of the Farm Woodlot
J. B. Berry, Prof. Forestry, Ga. State
College Of Agriculture.
Just what value do you place on
that patch of woods on your farm,
or do you consider it only as an ob
stacle to the cultivation of the land?
A hundred years ago timber was very
plentiful and prices low. At the pres
ent time the best of the timber in
the East and South has been logged,
or destroyed, and lumber prices are
advancing rapidly. No longer are the
big timber holders of the United
States recklessly logging their lands
—rather, they are holding their tim
ber to take advantage of the rapid
increase in wood values. It is con
servatively estimated that the pres
ent forests of the United States
cannot supply the demand for
more than seventy-five years.
When this is gone we shall have to
compete with England and Germany
in the world’s markets. During the
year 1914 lumber prices in Germany
ranged about four times as great as
in the United States, and these prices
showed an increase of 10 per cent
to 15 per cent over the current prices
of the year 1913. If this then is true —
that the present lumber prices of the
United States will be increased 300
per cent or 400 per cent during the
next twenty or twenty-five years—can
there be any doubt as to the value
of a timber investment?
The South is particularly favored
in the matter of wood produc
tion. Nowhere else do trees and for
ests grow more rapidly. During the
course of twenty years a second
growth thicket of old field pine and
yellow poplar has developed into a
forest, the trees of which average 12
to 15 inches in diameter. While trees
of this size do not produce a high per
centage of good lumber, there is a
strong demand for this class of mate
rial in the production of boxes and
packing cases. Even as rough lumber
the product of these trees would have
a value of from S2O to S4O per thou
sand feet, and, at the present rate of
increase, these prices will have dou
bled in ten years, quadrupled in twen
ty years. If this is true, and there
can be no doubt of it, are there any
other portions of the farm with the
potential value of these thickets of
young trees? What, then, is to be
thought of a man who clears away
this young timber, often from steep
slopes, with the object of placing the
land under cultivation for a few years
until erosion has carried away
the surface soil) and then abandon
ing the area to weeds and small
trees until nature has painstakingly
and slowly re-established a forest cov
er? Instead of creating wealth, is he
not in reality destroying it?
