Loyd County Agent With Brantley County farmers and other timberland owners looking to the woods for an in creasing share of total farm in come, good forestry management practices are becoming more im portant. The six-step program started in 1958 is already showing results, and even closer attention to these six management steps can help our forests provide the increased yield we need. Georgia’s forests are yielding an income of about $l5O million a year to woodland owners. This is income to - landowners from sales of their forest products only, which is only a fraction of the total economic value of the tre mendous industry our forests sup port. When all segments of the forest-related industry are consi dered, it is worth some S7OO mil lion a year to the state. What does it take to keep this industry going? During 1961 Georgia timberland owners har vested and sold more than a bil lion board feet of sawtimber, a bout five million cords of pulp wood and over 600 thousand bar rels of pine gum. In addition to these three main products, seve ral million dollars worth of poles, piling, veneer and other products were sold. All indications are that this is a growing industry. Georgia is in an excellent position to benefit in a big way from this growth if it continues to supply timber in the quality and quantity these forest-related industries demand. It is vital that we keep bur for ests in good production, ahd this is what the six-step management program was planned to do. Brantley county is now 88.7 percent forest land, and 69 per cent of Georgia’s total area is now in forests. Many of these acres are producing at one-half capacity or less. During the next few weeks we want to consider each of the six steps of good forest management and what they can mean toward improving the county’s position — and that of individual land owners —in the timber market. These steps are: (1) prevention and control of fires, (2) reforest ation of idle land, (3) timber improvement, (4) diversified uti lization, (5) good harvesting prac tices and (6) wise selling practi ces. Our next article in this series will deal with prevention and control of forest fires — the first step in any forest management program.

Education and Book Week Are Discussed By Sarah Anne Gibson and Lannette Moody. This week is an ideal time to take stock of the type books you and your “youngsters” read. Books surely are assential for an education. Children’s and adults’ reading choices are different from those of 10 or 12 years ago. When one considers the changes in a child’s world since television and since man invaded outer space, he can readily understand the reasons for children having more adult tastes and interests in reading. We should be sure that each child has the freedom to choose the book he will read. There must be many books of the modern child’s interests, books in his classroom to which he can go at spare moments, books in the school library to which he has access, and always books at home to read and share with others. Surely today’s children are to morrow’s leaders. Your schools and libraries are always open, but especially open this week so that parents may visit their children’s schools dur ing this American Education Week. This is the 42nd annual obser vance of American Education Week and the general theme is “Education Meets the Challenge of Change.” There are many new demands being made on Ameri can education as a result of rapid and drastic changes in the world around us. The church, the school, and the home help these changes. Daily topics for thought this week are: Our American Heritage A Modern Curriculum Effective Teaching School-Community Partnership Lifelong Learning International Understanding A Look Ahead All of these meet the challenge of change. Feel free to visit your Brant ley County sghpols and especially the libraries this week. Know bet ter your child’s teachers, friends, books, and subjects: those things whieh influence him to be one of our future leaders in America Births Mr. and Mrs. Kenny Harris of Jacksonville announce the birth of a daughter. bOrn Wednesday, Nov. 7, at the St Luke’s Hospital.
