T In the county of Charlton, Georgia. there cre a dozen. tur~ pentine stills, and the operator of one of these places givesthe following figures. ~ Naval stores during 1926-$117,197.98 and in 1927 when the prices'were far below normal, the sales from. lhaLgin‘me plait™was “$90,207.56, or n mean average for the two yegrs .of $103.703.77.© Now multiply these last figures by twelye and you get some idea of what pine forests meaus to Charlfon County, Georgia. At the same time the Citizens Bank of Folksfon, Georgia, gives the folowiig figurés of cattle shipped from Cl:atfton County, Georgia since May cfi 1928: over $60,000.00 and these fiq:rcs do notinclude those beeves butchered locally, The siynifitant feature of the cattle industry in Southeast Geor gia, 1s the fact that, while thousa~ds of scrub caltle are being sold and shipped away from the section, there are hundreds of pure bred bulis being brought info the seclion to improve the herds. W kiile discussing the pine tree and th 2 beef type of cattie we must not lose sight of the ola milch cow, who is not only a liberal contributor so- the Georgia household, but one that is clusely 'inked to the combination of the pine tree and cattle The dai. y castle may require more attention and time, siill there is no m.re profitable member of the farm family than this dairy cow. ' “She does as well on the range as any beef type and pays her way even more than does the beef steer.

These boxes, may be worked from four to six years before discarding for tur. pentine, then the frees may be used for piling, if it is a tall, straight tree, and if it be a swort stucky free, then it would be more valuable to be manufactured into lumber, or cross i s.
