farmers Plant More Than 36,000
Acres of Land to Trees Last Year
More than 36,000 acres in 138
<ccittits were planted to forest
i trees in 1939 by Georgia farmers
I through assistance of the Georgia
Agricultural Extension Service.
In addition, approxi lately 35.000
f. rmers in 121 counties protected
two million acres of farm woodlands
from fire last, year, according to
Hi lbert Carruth, Extension forest
er. More than 5000 farmers prac
ticed improvement cuttings on their
forests, he stated
'Many farmers participated in a
number of other forest, practices."
the forester said. “Nearly 7,000
farmers in 94 counties made selec
tion cuttings, and 3,000 farmers fol
lowed recommendations for wood
preservation
“Four-H Olub members in 1939
carried out 1,077 forestry practices."
he continued: “They planted 1,360
acres, improved 4 338 acres, and
protected 72,412 acres of forest trees,
“Farmers in 27 Georgia counties
gathered 190.000 pounds of tree seed
and more than 4,000 farmers
’■ ved their practices in the pro
duction of naval stores."
Carruth called attention to the
fact that ne a rly 600.000 trees were
planted by farmers in nine north
Georgia counties through assistance
of the Extension Service, in coop
eration with the Tennessee Valley
Authority. These counties have al
ready placed applications for more
than a million trees for planting in
1940- he added.
FOREST FIRES COSTLY
And speaking of forestry, during
1939 forest fires on National Forest
lands cost the lives of 16 fire fight
ers, and burned over 357,286 a cres
out of 206,000 000 acres under For
est Service protection, according to
a preliminary forest fire report
made by the Forest Service of the
United States Department of Ag
ricultitre- Forest officers fought 15,-
725 separte fires during the year.
Losses, were held, however, to less
than two-tenths of one per cent,
or one acre for every 575 acres
guarded. Estimated money damage
to commercial timber and improve
tnents was $1 431,845. Forest Ser
vice officials said that the much
greater losses in water-shed protec
tion and potential timber produc
tion canqot be estimated in money
terms,

Atlanta Farm Mart
Is Important Agency
U. S . Survey Shows
The growing importance or Atlan
ta as a distributing center for
Georgia fruits and vegetables is re
vealed in a United States Depart
ment of Agriculture marketing ser
vice report for 1939.
Unloads at this point by truck
and rail last year amounted to the
equivalent of 17,879 cars, the heav
iest on record and an increase of 605
cars over the previous year, despite
lighter receipts of peaches and wa
termelons. The figure represents an
increase of 2,510 cars over the 1937
volume- This record points to the
value of the system of state mar
kets advocated by Agriculture Com
missioner Columbus Roberts. Carlot
and truck receipts consisted of 49
different fruits and vegetables from
37 states and several foreign coun
tries- Georgia supplied about 42 per
cent of the entire volume received
by motor truck. It led all other
states in marketing twenty-two of
the 49 varieties of fruits and vege
tables, okra, peaches, pears, peas
(green), peas (field), potatoes- snap
beans, spinach, squash, sweet po
tatoes, turnips and watermelons. It
was second in supplying apples, cab
bage, egg plant, grapes, lettuce, pep
pers and tomatoes.
Other states furnished the bulk
of the citrus, pineapples, bananas,
and a few specialties such as cran
berries, cauliflower, celery and brus
sel sprouts.
