Houston County Agent
Life without trees—what would
it he like? Some say our society
would collapse without forests.
And they may be right, for we
do depend on wood for thousands
ot products we need and enjoy.
Each year the average citizen
in the United States uses over
r>oo pounds of paper, over 200
board feet of lumber and untold
amounts of other materials that
have their origin in the forests.
Providing the typical Ameri
can with the wood products he
uses in a year requires cutting
about 63 cubic feet of timber
from the nation’s forests. That’s
a lot of wood. In fact, it would
make a solid block three feet
square and seven feet high.
So the growing and harvesting
of timber crops and the manufac
ture of wood into useful products
contributes vitally to our na-*
lions security and economy—and
to our high standard of living.
USES ARE MANY
Just about everyone is familiar
with wood in its natural state
lumber for homes and buildings,
parts for furniture, toys and
many other items. And most
people know that trees are the
raw material from which most of
our paper is made. Books, news
papers and magazines; the paper
you write on; the paper cup and
plate you use on a picnic; the
corrugated boxes which protect
goods shipped to you-these
and many other products are
made from wood pulp that comes
from trees.
Other products made from
trees may not be quite so famili
ar. For example, one well-known
cellulose plastic, made from
wood fibers, has 25,000 uses—
all the way from dolls’ eyes to
advertising signs. The wood
I fiber are increasing every day.
J
NEW DEVELOPMENTS
Some of the newer products
which have been developed from
wood and are now used commer
cially are as follows:
Impreg—wood impregnated by
synthetic resins and used in the
manufacture of automobiles;
Compreg—wood impregnated by
resin and used as tool and knife
handles, in novelty items and in
! aircraft industry; Southern pine
plywood—a construction type of
plywood which is the basis for
several new plants in the South;
Overlaid lumber—low quality
wood overlaid with resin-impreg
nated Kraft paper or vulcanized
fiber to provide a more stable
product with long paint-holding
abilities tor use as house
siding, shelving, signs, stadium
seats and containers.
Each day sees other new com
mercial wood products being
developed and marketed. One
thing is clear—we are not out
growing the age of wood, as
some people believe. We actual
ly are only growing into it.
Despite all the progress that
has been made, many secrets
ore still locked up in the tree.
As these secrets are discovered,
we will continue to depend on
trees in the future just as we
have in the past.
According to Gerald Smith,
horticulturist with the Univer
sity of Georgia Cooperative
Extension Service,you can prune
azaleas during the spring
months. Pruning should be done
by removing individual limbs
and should be completed bv
July Ist.

When planning menus,
don’t overlook the nutritional
value of milk. It is estimated
that the nutritional elements
in one quart of milk would
cost more than 40 cents if
duplicated by other foods.
How about the bread on
your family’s table? It is also
estimated the average Ameri
can eats 3-1/2 slices of bread
each day.
Here’s a quick and easy
ice cream topping: melt a half
pound of vanilla caramels
over boiling water. While
melting, stir in two teaspoons
of instant coffee.
Remove muffins from pans
as soon as possible after bak
ing to prevent them from get
ting soggy.
You can heat toasted rice
cereal and use as a crisp gar
nish on juicy baked apples.
Diet watching? Broil, roast
or boil meats rather than fry
ing them.
For an easy dessert, chill 1
canned peaches, slices or
halves. At serving time drain
off part of the sirup and add
carbonated lemon-lime bever
age. Plain cookies or toasted
pound cake slices are a good
go-along.

Perry Major Takes Part
In Vietnam Operation
LONG BINH A unique and
successful reconaisance-in-force ;
mission was held last week by
Regional and Popular Forces
(RF/PF) 17 miles southeast of
Tay Ninh City.
The operation, conducted in
Khiem Hanh and Hieu Thien Dis
tricts of Tay Ninh Province, in
volved ten RF/PF companies to
taling more than 1,000 men.
Rarely do these units operate in
such numbers on a single opera
tion. Normal procedure is to op
erate in small groups, protecting
key sites such as bridges and
road junctions.
The RF/PF started a three
pronged movement toward the
suspected Viet Cong location. Af
ter two hours, when no contact
was made, the RF/PF shifted to
a nearby river bed. The 767th
RF Company, commanded by Se
cond Lieutenant Ngung and ad
vised by First Lieutenant Erie
D. Anderson of Seattle, Wash.
(U. S. Advisory Team 90), made
the first contact.
Following light rifle fire the
767th Company pinned the enemy
in a tunnel complex.
Major Thien, field commander
of the RF/PF, remained over
head in a helicopter directing
the movements of the ground
troops.
Major Malcolm G. McPhaul,
Perry, operations advisor for
Tay Ninh Province and Major
James N. Tilly, Greensboro, N.
C., assistant sector advisor, were
on the ground with radios assist
ing in the coordination of the
forces’ movement.
The 547th RF Company report
ed three injuries resulting from
a grenade “booby trap”. A
“dustoff” from the 45th Surgical
Hospital in Tay Ninh arrived
within minutes and evacuated
the wounded.
Units in the operation consist
ed of the 161st, 315th, 647th,
872nd, 930th and 964th RF Com
panies in an attacking role with
the 3891 h and 2d of the 10th
Cavalry in reserve. Major Mc-
Phaul commented, “The efficien
cy of these RF/PF speaks for it
self. The U. S. advisors with
these RF/PF are impressed with
the soldiers’ performance during
these operations.”
Tay Ninh is the only province
in the 111 Corps Tactical Zone
having no ARVN (Army of the
Republic of Vietnam) soldiers

Peanut experts prefer Pdiyram
You get more peanuts per acre
with Polyram for two reasons.
First, Polyram wards off BRHB *
the major disease of peanuts, *'
leafspot. So more peanuts Ife
survive to maturity.

for plants and safe to work
with. Poly ram protected /|j*f
