Value of the Farm Woodlot
J. B. Berry, Prof. Forestry. Ga. State
College Of Agriculture.
Just what value do you place on
that patch of woods on your farm,
or do you consider it only as an ob
stacle to the cultivation of the land?
A hundred years ago timber was very
plentiful and prices low. At the pres
ent time the best of the timber in
the East and South has been logged,
or destroyed, and lumber prices are
advancing rapidly. No longer are the
big timber holders of the United
States recklessly logging their lands
—rather, they are holding their tim
ber to take advantage of the rapid
increase in wood values. It is con
servatively estimated that the pres
ent forests of ‘.he United States
cannot supply the demand for
more than seventy-five years.
When this is gone we shall have to
compete with England and Germany
in the world’s markets. During the
year 1914 lumber prices in Germany
ranged about four times as great as
in the United States, and these prices
showed an increase of 10 per cent
to 15 per cent over the current prices
of the year 1913. If this then is true—
that the present lumber prices of the
United States will be increased 300
per cent or 400 per cent during the
next twenty or twenty-five years—can
there be any doubt as to the value
of a timber investment?
The South is particularly favored
in the matter of wood produc
tion. Nowhere else do trees and for
ests grow more rapidly. During the
course of twenty years a second
growth thicket of old field pine and
yellow poplar has developed into a
forest, the trees of which average 12
to 15 inches in diameter, trees
of this size do not produce a high per
centage of good lumber, there is a
strong demand for this class of mate
rial in the production of boxes and
packing cases. Even as rough lumber
the product of these trees would have
a value of from S2O to S4O per thou
sand feet, and, at the present rate of
increase, these prices will have dou
bled in ten years, quadrupled in twen
ty years. If this is true, and there
car be no doubt of it, are there any
other portions of the farm with the
potential value of these thickets of
young tre .' What, then, is to be
thought of a man who clears away
this young timber, often from steep
slopes, with the object of placing the
land under cultivation for a few years
until erosion has carried away
the surface soil) and then abandon
ing the area to weeds and small
trees until nature has painstakingly
and slowly re-established a forest cov
er? Instead of creating wealth, is he
not in reality destroying it?
TIMELY AGRICULTURAL
BULLETINS ISSUED
Among the recent bulletins issued
by the Georgia State College of Agri
culture which are for free distribu
tion within the state are “Soil Survey
of Stewart County,” “Forest School
Announcement,” “Teachers' Manual
of Agricultural Club Work,” “An
nouncement of Veterinary Degree
Course,” Catalog 1916-17, “Boys’ Pig
Clubs, 1915.”
Circulars recently issued have been
on the following subjects: “Corn Cul
tivation,” “Lime and Its Relations to
Potash," “Peanut Oil Production,”
“Cotton Variety Tests,” “Poultry
Clubs, 1915,” “Summer Courses in
Agriculture, 1916.”
College Assists In Getting
Eggs to Best Market
W. S. Dilts, Instructor Department Of
Poultry, Georgia State Col
lege Of Agriculture.
“Egg routes” are being established
at various places in Georgia in con
nection with cream routes, for the
purpose of assembling eggs at given
shipping points. At these centers
proper attention to grading and pack
ing can be given so that the eggs can
be sent off to the best-paying market.
Recent experiments with high-class
Georgia eggs sent in 30 dozen packs
to the city of New York, revealed that
after express and commission lias
been deducted, the net return to the
shipper was very much greater than
could be obtained in local markets.
While -it is not expected that the or
dinary run of eggs obtained on an
"egg route” will bring as much as this
particularly fine lot, yet it is quite
certain ihat there will be no trouble
to net at least five scents more on the
dozen than can be found on local mar
kets in Georgia.
The egg routes have been associat
ed with the cream routes, one person
finding it easy enough to collect both,
thus reducing the expense of collec
tion. It costs from 1% to 2 cents per
dozen to collect, sort and pack for
shipment the eggs that are being re
ceived from these routes. Collections
are being made from two to three
limes a week, thus permitting eggs to
go fresher to market than country
eggs usually do.
Selecting Cotton
Insistent to 801 l Rot
Loy E. Rast, in Charge of Cotton In
dustry, Georgia State College
Of Agriculture.
•- fiCcn varieties of cotton have
oe n testc.l for two years at the Col-'
le;ir of Agriculture to determine their
resistance to -i.ntliracnose or boll rot.
j:c results of two years have been
obtained for only eight varieties. The
Cider in which they stand as to re
sistance of uiuhracnose is as follows:
College No. 1, Sunbeam No. 60, Cooks,
idodella, Sunbeam No. 80 Half and
Half, Toole, Simpkins. Among those
bowing up well under the one year’s
test are Lewis, Dixie and Cleveland.
In testing these varieties for resist
ance, it was made quite certain that
all had an opportunity of being infect
ed. A variety known to be infect
ed and very poor in resistance was
planted in ( alternate rows with the
varieties mentioned. They were thus
subject to the severest test that could
occur under field conditions. That
the disease was prevalent and very
active is shown by the total destruc
tion of one variety that is very sus
ceptible, during the last year. Col
lege No. 1 showed only 2.9 per cent
of diseased bolls, Sunbeam 4.6 per
centage of diseased bolls, Cooks 5.7,
Modella 6.3, Sunbeam 80 6.6, Toole
and Simpkins 6.5, Half and Half a
total loss for the year 1915.
TO ASSIST FARMERS~WITH
BUILDINGS, SILOS, ETC.
Guy R. Jones, graduate of the Uni
versity, class of 1915, has been ap
pointed to do extension work in agri
cultural engineering. In this capac
ity he will assist farmers in design
ing farm buildings, in constructing
silos, in farm drainage and in select
ing farm machinery. His work be
gan April 1. Enough work is already
in hand to keep Mr. Jones busy for
six months.
