THEE FARM TIPS
By Erle T. Newton, Jr.
Chairman,
Georgia Tree Farm Committee
Nursery-grown seedlings are
one way of establishing a new
stand of timber.
Although seedlings may be
home-grown, it is cheaper to se
cure them from the state nur
series. The best species to use are
those native to the planting site
or those known to make satis
factory growth on similar sites.
Factors to be considered in
determining the number of seed
lings needed for planting are (1)
type of planting site and (2)
spacing of seedlings.
Planting of seedlings is recom
mended on idle or abandoned
fields which are more suitable
for trees than for crops and pas
tures. Seedlings also can be used
in openings in forest stands which
are not seeding-in naturally. In
cut-over areas where insufficient
seed trees are available, seedlings
can be planted. And pine seed
lings can be planted in open
spaces on former pine areas wher e
undersirable hardwoods are pre
dominating. The hardwoods may

THIS BRIEFCASE is a tool kit for building the
Georgia of tomorrow. It’s carried by our indus
trial development representatives to distant
cities where industries are looking southward.
Its contents: carefully compiled information
on towns — like yours — seeking to share in
Georgia’s surprising growth.
And this growth continues. In the first half
of this year, 75 new industries* were located in
the Georgia Power Company’s service area, and
39 plants expanded their facilities. These addi
tions represent nearly 5,000 jobs and almost
sl6 million of annual payroll.
We gladly work for such results. Through the
years, the company has coordinated its efforts
with state agencies, chambers of commerce, and
other business concerns. The common goal is a
brighter future for Georgia and all its citizens.
* Each industry represents a capital investment of
$50,000 or more and employs 10 or more workers.

More commonly used spacing
for planting pine is 6 x 8 or 8 x
8 feet, or about 700 to 900 trees
per acre. With a mortality rate
of 10 to 20 per cent, the stand will
have 500 to 800 trees per acre at
the time of the first thinning.
Closer spacing may retard growth
unless thinned before merchant
able material can be obtained.
Wider spacing may result in
heavy limb development and de
layed natural pruning.
Owners of severely eroded are
as should plant very closely
4 x 4 or 5 x 5 feet. The object
is to obtain a good mulch of pine
straw as quickly as possible to
stabilize the soil and prevent fur
ther soil movement. Timber pro
duction in this type area sec

Six forest tree nurseries are
operated by the Georgia Com
mission for the production of 250
million seedlings per year. Land
owners needing seedlings should
order their seedlings from the
state forester now in order that
nursery production plans can be
gauged accordingly.
In addition, the Tennessee Val
ley Authority and forest indus
tries operate forest tree nurseries
for their cooperators of for, in the
case of industry, planting of their
own lands.
More than a million acres were
planted to trees in the South last
year. Florida with 205,594 acres,
Georgia with 191,947 acres, Miss
issippi with 132,731 acres, and
Alabama with 114,046 acres were
top tree planting states in the
South.
Presently, total acres planted
to trees in Florida amount to
1,066,046; in Georgia 1,033,684, and
in Alabama, 535,941.

ing the ensuing battle, Scott and
his crew manage to rescue two
Americans held captive by the
pirates —a scholai- and his love
ly daughter. It is only a question
of time before a romance develops
between the girl and the daring
captain —a romance that is
kindled by the dangers they
share. Before the voyage is over
Scott finds himself involved with
treacherous native rajahs, an un
scrupulous mate on his own ship,
stolen treasure and a murderous
witch doctor — all of which adds
to the excitement of the story.
