My 4-H Club
Work Project
4-H Club work has done
much for my family and me.
The projects offered by t h c
club can be financial aid as well
as an aid in future life.
I am most interested in the
Frozen Foods Project. When
certain foods are plentiful, I
freeze them, thus saving money
by having them on hand al
though they are out of season.
The packaging and equipment
are not costly, so there is con
siderable profit.
Club work also offers a
chance to meet new friends
and have good times at camps
and other affairs. There are
many interesting projects for
both boys and girls.
So come on, join the 4-H
club.

How Southern Tree "Farmers”
Are Solving National Problems
Southern tree “farmers” are
proving that:
1. Money DOES grow on
trees.
2 Good forest management
increases the timber resources
for both industrial and non
industrial users.
Such discoveries provide a
solution to some major nation
al problems.
During the post World War
II years, there has been a sharp
increase in demand for timber
from many different sources.
Further rises are in prospect.
For example:
Recreationists predict a 400
percent increase in the num
ber of outdoor recreation seek
ers during the next 15 years.
The United States Forest
Service forecasts a 50 percent
increase in the nation’s lumber
requirements by 1957. Already,
lumber is building the struc
tures of 85 percent of all homes.
Pulp and paper, chemicals
and other forest based indus
tries all are expected to be
even larger consumers of tim
ber.
The big question, of course,
is how to satisfy such a varie
ty of requirements in the enor
mous volume envisioned.
According to the Southern
Pine Association, an answer has
been found in the South. Forest
industry, working in close con
cert with non-industrial pri
vate owners, has provided the
solution.
As evidence, the Association
THE COVINGTON NEWS
offers the case history of “tree
farming” during the past 10
years.
This practice is designed to
stimulate good forest manage
ment. While it is sponsored by
the forest industries, more than
60 percent of all Southern “tree
farmers” are farmers of the
conventional variety who own
forest land.
Ten years ago, there were
about 1600 Tree Farms in the
South. There are now nearly
11,500 — or seven times as
many.
Throughout the 10 year pe
riod, the production of South
ern Pine lumber remained at
a level sufficient to build near
ly one million homes a year.
Moreover, there was a tremen
dous increase in the require
ments of the paper industry
and other forest based enter
prises.
But with all of these pro
duction needs, there was a
net gain in timber volume
throughout the 10 years, and
in each succeeding year, the
margin of growth over drain
became larger.
This, of course, was the re
sult of good forest manage
ment and intensive “tree farm
ing.” The United States Forest
Service reports that the grow
th of Southern Pine sawtimber
exceeds drain by an astonish
ing 2 1/2 billion board feet per
year.
Throughout the South, the
extension of forest management
and the establishment of new
Tree Farms is proceeding at
a rate several times the in
crease in demand for forest
products. And although the re
gion is now producing more
than $8 billion worth of tim
ber products a year, the Forest
Service believes that it will
ultimately be capable of a pro
duction two or three times the
present level without impair
ing forest supply.
For such reasons, the For
est Service predicts eventual
concentration of the nation’s
lumber and timber production
in the South.
Industry programs of forest
management are also a boons
to the non-industrial user, such
as the recreationist. Since the
great majority of the South’s
176,000,000 acres of forestland
are privately owned, recrea
tion seekers have a major stake
in the efforts of industry and
farmer-owners to expand the
resource.
Many forest products con
cerns have opened their pri
vate lands to hunters, fisher
men, picnickers and the like
On countless acres, the hunter
is welcomed who will be care
ful with fire. Several industri
al owners have built lakes with
recreation facilities for their
own employees and the pub
lic. Some have hued wildlife
technicians to help them pro
vide better game and fish pop
ulations.
The South accounts for near
ly one-third of all the pounds
of beef produced in the U. S„
says The Progressive Farmer.
Cotton uses 30 inches of wat
er in a growing season, and
1/4 inch a day during fruiting,
says The Progressive Farmer.
