MARKET PRODUCTS OF
WOODLAND AT PROFIT
Situation Acute, Demand Strong And
Prices Increasing
Little has been said regarding the
prod table marketing of farm wood
land products, although market con
ditions for wood and other forest
products were never better. At a
time when the Government is strain
ing evciy ;in in the production of
a morel.; marine, in the construc
tion of which enormous quantities of
wood are used, the demand for tim
bers of the proper dimensions is grow
ing acute. Automobile, aeroplane and
vehicle manufacturers are finding it
impossible U secure adequate supplies
if d' ••rebi v. -ds; hickory, oak, ash.
Prices '■ ir.c:easing and quality is
decreasing.
Nearly two-thirds of the total area of
the State r.f G, gia is woodland, about
half of which is included under the
head of “farm woodlands.” The large
t; era tors are rapidly cutting over
iheir holdings. This means that an
ever-incrc.c.ing amount of timber
must come from the farm. Under pres
ent conditions the farm woodland
should yield as high a profit in its
wood crop as does any other portion
of the farm, investment considered.
The fact that more farmers do not
realize this is due to ignorance of the
wood market. Along with other farm
products, wood has passed through the
hands ef a number of “middlemen,”
each of whom secured his profit. Usu
ally the local millman secures the
stand of timber in a farm woodland
for a lump sum. He manufactures
(his in a very rough way, markets the
lower grades locally and sorts out the
high grade oak, ash, hickory, walnut,
cherry, poplar, maple and dogwood to
ship to a lumber merchant in some
large marketing center. This firm
manufactures and regrades the prod
uct and distributes it to automobile
works, handle factories, furniture
manufacturers, vehicle factories, and
others. The farmer may have consid
ered himself fortunate in securing five
dollars for a large walnut tree that
the furniture factory pays the commis
sion merchant perhaps SSOO when man
ufactured. There Is no reason why
the farmer should not receive a larger
share cf the profit. It is not necessary
(hat the middleman be eliminated, but
the farmer must have a better knowl
edge cf the value of his product.
Where the farmer does not desire to
manufacture his timber but to sell
Standing trees he should be very care
ful to make a contract that will be
entirely fair to both parties.
The Stale College of Agriculture has
just issued for free distribution a bul
letin entitled “Marketing Farm Wood
land Products in Georgia” and another
entitled “Georgia Industries Using
Farm Woodland Products.” Both
should be of invaluable aid to the
farmer in marketing the products of
the woodland. — (James B. Berry,
