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. THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1939 Italian Old Master For S. F. Fair ,6 '-A)/? ’ f i jFx J?

GEORGIA’S PROGRAM T 0 RE-CREATE /y EMPIRE /w® Xstate of /;561/44n z Vhe SOUTH f \ 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. Holland 4-H Club The Holland 4-H club met March 16, 1939. Every member was present. We had a nice program.
