Then try trees. Heard County For estry Ranger Bill Millians, dedarerf this week as he cited the use of trees , on land not suitable for other crops. “Trees, so course.” he declared, “can be planted on good land as well as • poor, and they form a good cash crop, no matter which type of land they might be placed on. We want to point out. however, that timber is especially valuable as a “poor land* crop. Many farms, despite their over-ail excellence. . have steep slopes, poor soiL rocky land, mused corners, gullied land and ’ wet land which affords places for growing timber profitably” The Ranger said these various clas ( ses of so-called waste land are usually ‘ better adapted for forest production ; i than for any other use. “If trees do not occur naturally on ; such lands.” he added, “we advise planting them as a wise step toward obtaining a useful and money making I crop at the cost of only a email a l mount of labor”. Ranger Millians cited the soil hold , mg power of trees on slopes. “Steep lands which have been clear- ; ed of timber, often at great expense of . labor and have been cultivated for a ■ few years, rapidly become gullied. The ; rich bottom land below becomes cover- ■ ed with deep sandy deposits. Maintain- I ing a forest cover on the slopes is the surest and cheapest method of pro tection.” The County Forestry Unit head re- ’ ported that although small gullies can be st-pped by c->seiy packed br jsh ' and tree tops, anchored by stakes if ' necessary large open guiiies are ch- ' ecke-i or’- by tree planting over the ent e 7 -Uy asm. supplemented by ! low "3-1 erm’ acruss the larger units trf th guLy ' The MW telephone i llllhig os Brid ge Street has been tempistH and several Western Electric Company ia staßers ace now busy iif Hing Ftaak lufs new dial central office equip mead.
