The Challenge to
Colton's Crown
Fifty years ago, the lumber
industry initiated practices
which were designed to assure
a permanent timber supply for
the South.
Since then, trees have been
widely and intensively man
aged as a long-term crop .This—
plus the concurrent growth of
new industrial outlets for the
tree harvest—have built tim
ber’s economic stature to the

DAMAGE TO LINES BY HUNTERS
With the hunting season underway, sportsmen and
others who might fire shotguns, rifles or pistols in the
country side near aerial telephone equipment were ask
ed today to be careful of communication lines.
The request came from Ray Reece, Manager of the
Southern Bell Telephone Company here.
Mr. Reece disclosed that there have been instances
of damage to telephone equipment in this vicinity
recently.
Even the smallest shots can cut a wire, shatter an
insulator or otherwise disrupt service, which may affect
your telephone he said.

cotton’s crown.
A report released recently
by the Forest Service of the
U. S. Department of Agricul
ture. estimates the value of the
South’s timber harvest at more
than a billion dollars a year.
This does not include the value
added through manufacture.
In seven Southern states —
Alabama, Florida, Georgia.
Louisiana. North Carolin a,
and Virginia—the value of the
tree harvest exceeds cotton by
a wide margin.

as, cotton still leads. But in
these states, too, the dollar
volume of the “tree crop’’ is
substantial.
The report of the USDA
agency goes on to show- the ex
tent of industrial activity and
employment generated by tim
ber.
Total employment — South
wide—in timber based activi
ties is estimated at more than
1,100.000. The breakdown is
as follows:
More than 28,000 engaged in
forest management, such as
foresters, tree marking crews
and fire fighters.
About 193,000 in harvesting,
such as loggers and log trans
port people.
Nearly 250,000 engaged in
primary manufacture (sawmills
and planing mills, veneer
plants, pulpmills).
Nearly 270,000 in secondary
manufacture, including mill
work and wood prefabricating,
wood containers and furniture.
Nearly 260,000 working in
timber construction, such as
carpenters.
More than 200.000 engaged
in the transportation and dis
tribution of lumber and wood
products.
The report pinpoints the
South’s important role as a
lumber producing region. An
nual lumber shipment have
estimated annual value of sl%

billion —about 42 percent of
the nation’s total. Moreover, 20
percent of all construction
workers in the South are en
gaged in wood construction.
Fifty-thousand of the South’s
474,000 transportation work
ers are engaged in the trans
port of lumber and other for
est products. About 26.000 are
in rail, 21,000 in trucking and
3,500 in water transport.
About 157,000 Southerners
are employed in lumber retail
ing and wholesaling.
According to Forest Service
Chief Edward P. Cliff, the im
portance of timber to the
South’s economy should grow.
He observes that the growth
of Southern Pine sawtimber
exceeds that of any other spe
cies in the nation. He makes
the prediction that the South
will eventually at least double
its current output of forest pro
ducts while continuing to in
crease timber reserves.
