Farmers, Look to the Forests
Let’s see, it was “1930 by the latest” that turn-of-the
century economists set as a time when one great Southern
industry — perhaps the greatest of them all — was to
peter out.
Back when Herbert Hoover was in mid-term, the greed
of the Robber Barons and the vandalism of campers were
supposed to have destroyed the lumbering business of
the 12-State South where nearly every town had its “saw
mill” and the mountain woodlands were being pillaged
or frittered away.
The Southern Pine Association, headquartered in New
Orleans, recently recalled the predictions of calamities
that did not happen, and indulged in some excusable ex
altation over the bouncing health of its once languishing
industry. Looking ahead to 2000, Richard McArdle,
Chief of the U. S. Forest Service, says that the South
by then will surpass the Pacific Northwest as a timber
producer and will provide most of the forest products
for the nation.
There is an explanation of this amazing natural and
business revival, a very heartening explanation. In the
first place, the great swath of emerald pine which sweeps
from Virginia, through the southern highland of Ten
nessee and Kentucky, across the hills of Alabama and
Georgia, into the lowlands of Louisiana and Mississippi,
into the arid territories of Oklahoma and Texas, was
always both more substantial and more vigorously re
productive than the economists understood. But more
important than that, some very long-headed businessmen
in lumbering began a quarter-century ago to build up
tree farms. Lumber companies started giving saplings to
farmers. People with no more than a few worn out fields
began turning them into woodlots. The result is that to
day there are some two million individual owners in the
South whose timber holdings are six times greater acre
age than the holdings of the lumber and paper companies.
The big incentive, of course, is the advancement of the
technology. The old saying that every pit of the hog is
used, except the squeal, now' applies to the timber tree.
Except for possibly the breeze in the boughs, the whole
tree goes to market.
There is room for some agricultural optimism here.
One of these days, private enterprise is going to find a
way to make use of this country’s ability to grow all that
w heat, cotton and rice we don’t need.
