Ranger Newsletter
Requests for aerial hardwood
control spraying are now being
accepted by the Newton-Rock
dale County Forestry Unit, ac
cording to Ranger James Pin
son.
Ranger Pinson states that the
total acreage to be sprayed must
not be less than 20 acres and
must not exceed 400 acres.
However, Ranger Pinson added
that landowners who are in a
radious of one-half mile of the
point of operation may combine
their acreage to meet the mini
mum requirement. There are a
number of commercial firms
that can handle the acreage ex
ceeding the maximum.
Only those areas best suited
for growing pine and those
which have sufficient seedlings
to be released will be authoris
ed for spraying. The cost of the
operation is eight dollars per
acre.
Ranger Pinson says that the
chemical used is not harmful
to humans or animal life, and
is used solely to release the
pine from overtop scrub or low
grade hardwood. There is no
appreciable damage to the pine.
In 1958 there were 5,500 acres
sprayed for 117 landowners in
52 counties. Since the start of
this hardwood control program
two years ago, approximately
10,000 acres have been treated
in some 82 counties.
It is urgent that landowners
get their requests in as soon as
