Know Your Timber
(Emily Woodward.)
Although no hard and fast rule can be
applied in timber cutting, practices, be
cause there is such a wide varietion in
the character of trees, and their traits
of growth, careful study has revealed cer
tain facts that should be helpful to tim
ber owners in “weeding out” trees to the
best advantage.
From the Southern Forest Experiment
station comes a list of six types of trees
which the timber owners will find it
profitable to remove from their forest
area. This information is based on ex
periment, and here are the six types
found in the list:
1. Badly suppressed trees, which are
certain to go out of the stand within the
next five years through natural mor
tality.
2. Trees that because of the crooked
condition of the bole, will never produce
saw timber. Fast-growing, crooked trees
that contain, or will contain, pulpwood,
should be left for additional growth if
they do not interfere with the develop
ment of more valuable trees.
3. Trees that show unmistakable evi
dence of red-heart or other tree-destroy
ing fungi.
4. Trees that contain fire scars or oth
er injuries sufficiently severe to make
them susceptible to wind damage.
5. Extremely brushy or limby trees
that will never produce lumber of aver
age quality better than grade No. 20, and
that will become less valuable for pulp
wood or cordwood as more limbs develop.
6. Limby trees that will never produce
at least one No. 2 sawlog should be re
moved if they interfere with more valu
able trees.
Since the timber owner naturally will
wish to cut these "weed” trees to the
; best financial advantage, he will, no
doubt, be interested in the suggestions
for profitable cutting which comes from
the same source. In the next article that
appears, these suggestions will be given.

GEORGIA’S PROGRAM

\ BUDGET/
\ X XBILLS CUTjZ
Although the session of the general as
sembly has produced little in the way of
legislation, and has passed no measure
to finance the ’Program’ of the state, it
would be unfair to suggest that the de
liberations have been futile or that the
members have frittered away their time.
On the contrary, the assembly has work
ed hard. It is a paradox, but the more
serious the deadlock in the house, the
more fraught with valuable
became the debates.
It has not been unwillingness to fi
nance the educational program of Geor
gia, or the public welfare program of as
sistance to the aged and to dependent
children, or the health program, that led
to the temporary statement in the assem
bly. It has been that the assembly rec
ognizes that there must be no more
stop-gap legislation, no more ineffective
tampering with the tax structure of the
state, no more pernicious allocations, no
more mere juggling of administrative
duties in a futile search for economy, but
a very genuine revision of the entire
basic structure of many departments, a
redistribution of funds, a new policy ot
meeting appropriations with revenues and
a reassumption of the assembly’s consti
tutional prerogative and duty to pass
real appropriations bills and real revenue
bills, instead of hopeful, well-intentioned
but utterly valueless measures.
The general assembly failed to see any
wisdom in the suggestion that an appro
priation measure could carry grants of
forty to fifty million dollars annually,
when every member —and the people of
the state —recognized the revenues would
fall many millions below that figure.
Moreover, the somewhat cursory exam
inations of the economy committee, which
had no time yor resources to do more
than hurriedly study a few departments,
disclosed that the too-swift development
of new services, the constant shifting of
duties and the division of responsibility
had occasioned considerable inefficiency
A GOOD IDEA.
The suggestion that the United States
manufacture war supplies, including
warships, for Latin-American countries
will' naturally cause considerable dis
cussion.
It might be noted, in passing, however,
that this is much better than allowing
these countries to come under the in
fluence of other nations that are will
ing and ready to supply them. It is
much better than adopting the German
idea of taking over such countries as
happen not to be strong enough to re
sist aggression.
White there may be disadvantages
connected with the proposal we do not
see where what we do is the concern of
any other nation. It is possible that
the business, thus secured, might make
the United States better able to take
care of its own needs.
HOPE UN GERMANY. .
Here’s an encouraging story from
Berlin :
The Bible, it is reported, has out
sold Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” by about
200.000 copies yearly in the six years
since the nazis assumed power in 1933,
according to the Prussian Bible society.
To safeguard the Panama Canal
against aerial attacks, Secretary Wood
ring has recommended the construction
of an additional set of locks, to be built
a quarter to a half-mile away from the
present set, at a cost of s2 2^>o(W '’ 000 ’
and real waste.
An examination of the report of the
economy committee to the house, of cer
tain of the reports of sub-groups from
the house appropriations committee and
of reports from some of the senate com
mittees, notably the one studying Geor
gia’s penal system, discloses unquestion
ably that the operations of the state re
quire new methods of co-ordination in
the interests of economy and efficiency.
Previous efforts at reform and reorgani
zation, while well meant and sometimes
of temporary value, have proven —as in
the instance of the 'grandfather’s clause’
in appropriations bills —to be utterly de
structive and dangerous devices.
No assembly in the recent history of
Georgia has undertaken its duties in a
spirit of greater willingness to enact suit
able constructive measures, nor has any
assembly shown a greater zeal for work.
The task of reorganization and of enact
ment of a stable, adequate and equitable
tax system can be left in their hands
safely.
In this present crisis, with serious per
ils threatening the schools and the wel
fare program, it is essential that rapid,
but not hasty, progress be made; that
some sound revision of the tax structure
be initiated ; that adequate revenues be
raised. It is also essential that the mem
bers of the assembly, and their constitu
ents throughout Georgia, be assured that
present revenues and new revenues alike
will be expended wisely and in accord
ance with sound business principles.
In this emergency, it would be well for
Gov. Rivers to confer with business lead
ers—for example, the heads of the clear
ing houses in the main financial centers
of the state, the heads of important busi
nesses, both manufacturers and distribu
tors, inviting their counsel on the sub
ject of putting more efficiency into state
government —and with legislative leaders,
of all factions and points of view. In
this manner, harmony may be restored
and confidence gained.
