South Needs to Replant, As
Well As Harvest , Its Timber
Tomorrow’s supply of
forest products is threatened
today by private landowners
who harvest their pine
timber, but don’t replant.
At a recent Southern
Forest Institute meeting,
Herbert A. Knight, resource
analyst for the Southeastern
Forest Experiment Station,
said there is an annual loss of
500,000 acres of pine forests
in just five states (Georgia,
Florida, North Carolina,
South Carolina, and Vir
ginia.) Knight blames the
loss on “a lack of adequate
regeneration following har
vesting, largely within the
private, non-industrial owner
class.” Individual landown
ers control 3 out of every 4
acres of the 204,000,000 acres
of commercial forest lands in
the thirteen Southern states.
The report says, “Some
where between the private,
non-industrial landowner’s
decision to sell his timber
and the actual harvest, forest
industry and government
must intervene with their
best silvicultural knowledge,
some form of incentive or
motivation, and a means of
application on the ground.

Mr. Elmo Ponder Colwell,
85, of Route 3, Jackson, died

Son of the late Mr. James
G. Colwell and the late Mrs.
Mary Jane Jester Colwell, he
was a retired farmer, a
member of the Towaliga
Baptist Church, and a
veteran of World War I.
Funeral services for Mr.
Colwell will be conducted

Home in Griffin with the Rev.

Ask Them
-Could you give me some
pointers on how to run a
newspaper?" the journalism
student asked. “You came to
the wrong person. an
swered the editor. Ask one
of my readers ”
Otherwise, we’ll continue to
wrestle with the symptoms
rather than the problem
itself.”
Knight’s report also re
vealed that 30 per cent of the
harvest commercial forest
lands in the Southeast is in
seriously understocked con
dition, primarily low-quality
hardwood brush. Often after
harvest, a pine forest grows
back in such brush if steps
aren’t taken to assure
regeneration.”
Commenting on the report,
Southern Forest Institute’s
executive vice president,
James M. Montgomery, said,
“If this trend applies
Southwide, and we are sure it
does, then action programs
are an immediate priority.
We’ve called on industry,
state and federal agencies,
wood dealers, and anyone
w'ho deals directly with
landowners to encourage
reforestation.”
“There’s plenty of wood
now,” added Montgomery.
“What we’re talking about is
twenty-five years down the
road, w'hen the South is
expected to produce 50 per
cent of the nation’s wood
Auto Service Tips|
It’s wise to check and change your air filter on
a regular basis. The filter keeps dust and dirt out
of the carburetor. But, if the filter is used too
long it becomes clogged, resulting in poor gas
mileage, rough idling. Change air filter at least

needs. To do that, we need
the trees in the ground
today.”
Montgomery pointed to a
need for increased activity in
landowners assistance pro
grams, better use of federal
and state cost-share pro
grams, tax relief for tree
growers, and a public
awareness of the problem.
He concluded, “To give some
idea of the job ahead, there
are an estimated 2,000,000
landowners in the South, but
only 20,000 belong to the
American Tree Farm sys
tem. Obviously many more
landowners need to share the
Tree Farmer’s dedication if
the nation is to have enough
lumber for homes and paper
and books and newspapers.
There’s no reason for a
shortage of this natural
resource, but its continued
supply depends on wise
management.”
The American Tree Farm
System, an organization of
private forest owners who
manage their lands, is
sponsored in the South by
Southern Forest Institute, a
division of American Forest
Institute.
