LOYD, County Agent Last week in this column we talked about harvesting timber and especially about the advant age of selling larger trees. This week we’ll talk about the next step — selling the timber. Three important steps should be followed when planning and making a timber sale. First, make plans for future timber crops. This must be done before the sale is made and the timber cut. A good amount of stocking should be left to keep the forest area in continuous production. If the stand to be cut is old and more or less mature, then only a few seed trees may be left. About six or eight good trees should be left well spaced on each acre. Sometimes a stand may be clear-cut and planted, but in any case provisions should be made to keep the area in production. The second step in a sale is to measure the crop. You might measure standing trees, logs, lum ber, or in the case of pulpwood the number of cords or loads. Both buyer and seller benefit TALES OUT OF SCHOOL State Department of Education LOW PAY — If you have any notion that the people hired by the State Department of Educa tion are highly paid, you should know the facts. We had trouble recently hiring an area repre sentative because almost every principal in the district he would supervise (not to mention su perintendents!) get more pay than we were able to offer him. EVER THOUGHT OF THIS FOR A CHAPEL PROGRAM?— Why not use the interesting old sters in your community to tell about how schools were when they started? You might make up a panel of grandma and Uncle Tim and Miss Katie and the others who could sparkle up a do-you-remember chat? It would be a fine thing for the youngsters to hear, too. If they knew that once Georgia had no state money for schools, had three and four month school terms, few text books, no bright modern desks, and that teachers did well to make a hundred dollars a year in salaries, they might appreciate still more the bright and beauti ful schools to which it is their privilege to go. THAT THOUSAND DOLLAR RAISE — Be sure that your teachers know we are asking the January legislature for enough money (when put with your local funds) to average a thousand dol lar raise for them. We’ve got to put profit and prestige and pre miums on classroom teaching if we want to hold brains there in that classroom, and attract more. We Do All Kinds of Job Printing. Let Us Quote You Prices.

If the products are not mea sured when sold, either the buy er or seller is likely to come out on the short end of the bargain. A good sale is one that is mutually profitable to both buyer and seller. The third step in a timber sale is to have a written agreement between buyer and seller. This avoids misunderstanding and per mits a better planned operation. Some important points to con sider in the agreement include: description of the sale area, trees designated for cutting, amount and time of payment, guarantee of title to forest products, dates of cutting operation, damage and arbitration board in case of dispute. Remember that a good, profit able sale is your best encourage ment toward better forest man agement. Next week we will talk about some unusual facts about wood.

Birth defects and arthritis, two dread crippiers affecting .millions of people, are now included in the expanded program of The Na tional Foundation. The organiza tion that has fought polio for twenty-two years will continue its battle to stamp out polio, ac cording to the Chairman. “We point with pride to the Salk and the Sabin Vaccines, the result of The Foundation’s bril liant research program. More scientists and more dollars will be used in research to find the ans wer to birth defects and arthri tis,” Mrs. Smith said. “The Foundation will continue its out standing scholarship program in the training of doctors, nurses, therapists and medical social workers to combat all diseases.” Mr. Colvin, the 1961 Campaign Director, said that 1,000 polio pa tients were assisted by Georgia Chapters at a cost of over $500,- 000 in 1959. Georgia Chapters still owe $200,000 of the 1959 pa tient treatment costs.
