Present Practices of Destroying
Hardwoods Is Also Destroying
Food For Wildlife
With the present day forestry practices, the days
of hardwoods are numbered. The pines are taking
over the land, and Georgia wildlife is caught in the
middle with no place to turn for food.
There was a time one could spot a grouse
proudly thumping on an old chestnut log in the
mountains, but the new generations of grouse
couldn’t even tell you what a chestnut tree looks
like.
And now the hickories, sourwoods, persimmons,
oaks and other hardwoods are taking the same path
of the chestnut. And as a result, our turkeys, deer,
squirrels, and other animals are beginning to suffe’’
from lack of food.
The credit for this large scale, eradication of
hardwoods goes to the Forestry Service, both
national and states, and certain wood-using in
dustries. There seems to be a callous disregard
on the part of both parties for the conservation
of wildlife.
Under the name of timber-stand-improvement,
the Forestry Service is destroying thousands of
acres of hardwoods upon which our game-birds de
pend for food. Private industries are destroying
some of our best hunting sites by transforming di
versified forests into stands of fast-growing pines.
The Forestry Service has stated that their
policy is to leave enough hardwoods to meet
minimum requirements for wildlife. But the
timber cutting crews that do the actual cutting
seem to forget this policy as they run their
girdling machines through everything in the
woods that doesn’t fall under the classification
of merchantable timber.
The problem is not confined to Georgia. Sports
men from other states such as Texas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee have be
come alarmed over the same lack of consideration
toward their wildlife. In some of these states the
Forestry Service has even gone to the extent of
spraying herbicides from the air.
In fairness to the Forestry Service, we real
ize they have problems that must be met. I
understand that in the past two decades they
have experienced a decrease in the number of
pine trees in Georgia. Certainly, something
should be done to remedy this. But in the proc
ess, they should keep in mind the balance of
nature. If you go to extremes in destroying the
handiwork of nature, some form of life will
suffer as a consequence. In this case, wildlife
is suffering; and certainly wildlife is as much a
part of our way of life and as important to the
people of Georgia as is timber or anything else.
When the white man first settled in this country,
our virgin forests were plentiful with food and cover
for all types of wildlife. Then, as timber was needed
to build homes and other types of buildings, our
forest were invaded with complete disregard toward
wildlife. To these settlers, wildlife seemed to be in
such abundance that nothing could destroy it. As a
result, a great many of our species were completely
destroyed, and many others were fast becoming ex
tinct as their habitats were wiped out.
Almost too late we realized that conserva
tion measures would have to be adopted if our
wildlife and other natural resources were to sur
vive. Legislation was enacted, and federal and
state governments began to enforce laws to pro
tect our resources. Conservation clubs sprung
up in sections all over the country with mem
bers dedicated to preserve our resources. With
the aid of conservation minded people we have
gone a long way in restoring and protecting our
wildlife.
But now they are once again in danger of being
pushed aside in the name of progress. Progress
without foresight, as it was three hundred years
ago. And unless the sportsmen and conservationists
raise their voices in protest, our wildlife will be on
the same verge of extinction it was before.
FIBERGLASS DRAPES
Fiberglass curtains and drap
ies should not be allowed to rub
constantly against anything but
fiberglass. Be sure they are just
shorter than floor length to a
void abrasion with the carpet or
floor when draperies are drawn,
