The results have been two
fold: 1) Quantity and quality
: of one of the nation's “stra
tegic" materials have been
greatly improved; 2) Ground
work has been laid for future I
economic growth and progress
of a key industry that employs
more than a quarter of a mil
lion workers.
This report was issued by
the Southern Pine Association
following study of statistical
data covering the 1960-59 pe
riod. Here are the highlights:
(1) During the decade, the
industry produced more than
78 billion board feet of South
ern Pine lumber — enough to
build nearly 10 million homes.
That was where most of the
THE COV’NGTON NEWS
production was used. The spe
cies is one of the nation’s ma
jor building woods, which
makes joists, 2 x 4’s, rafters
and other structural parts of
homes, also paneling, siding
and decorative items.
(2) Despite the constant
volume of lumber, output, the
supply of sawtimber in the
forests increased throughout
the decade. The maturity and
quality of timber improved
as well as volume. This was
attributed to widespread for-
est management practices and
to more intensive utilization of
11 the timber harvest.
; (3) Tree Farms are a good
' yardstick for measuring the
; region’s progress in forest
management. On January 1,
t 1950, the South had 1,457 Tree
> Farms, embracing 11,979,657
> acres. Today, it has 9.512 Tree
i F irms, embracing 35,154,067
I acres. Several states have in-
I creased their totals by several
> times. For example, Mississip
■: pi, which had 226 Tree Farms
(LarqMt Covwraq* Any Weakly In The State',
I in 1950, now has 2,120 to lead
' the nation. Alabama, with 325
in 1950, has 1,631 Tree Farms
I today, embracing 5,284,000
■ acres, to earn No. 1 national
. ranking in the latter depart
, ment. Louisiana had no Tree
: Farms in 1950. It now has
1,100. Georgia, with 26 Tree
! Farms in 1950, now has 651.
' Other totals are Texas, 205-
• 1,339; Arkansas, 251-910, and
11 Florida, 62-451. Florida with
■ 5 223,193 Tree Farm acres is a
> ■ close second to Alabama in
1 that respect.
> | (4) The lumber industry
; greatly increased the volume
I and diversity of its production
I without increasing harvest re-1
quirements. This was accom-;
■ plished by a debarking process
; which permits the manufac
> ture of pulp chips and other
. products as well as lumber
■ from single log. By 1960, near-
I ly 700 companies, represent
i ing a majority of the Southern
i Pine production, had installed
i this equipment. These lumber
