More Timber Seen
For North Georgia
MACON—New data have
been released for North Central
Georgia, one of five forest
survey units, in a report,
“Forest Statistics for North
Central Georgia, 1972.”
For the North Central
Georgia areas, Herbert A.
Knight, associate resource
analyst, Southeastern Forest
Experiment Station, Asheville,
N. C., states that the statewide
trend of more timber growing
on less acreage continued.
The findings show that lob
lolly pine, the predominant
timber species in the 32-county
survey unit, more than doubled
in volume since 1961.
In 1971, net growth of
growing-stock timber exceeded
removals for both softwoods
and hardwoods over this
11-year period. The net growth
averaged 79 cubic feet per acre
of commercial forest land, a
record high average for an
entire forest survey unit in the
Southeast
Removals of about half the
net growth of growing-stock
timber in North Central Geor
gia, totaled 152 million cubic
feet, of which almost 70 per
cent was pine. The removals of
all species included 512 million
board feet of saw-timber. Pulp
wood production totaled
784,000 cords, down slightly
from the record 817,000 cords
produced in 1970.
The survey findings show
that almost 25 percent of the
growing-stock timber removed
over the past 11 years was not
utilized for products, but was
removed in conjunction with
clearing or other land-use
changes.
Since 1961, some 373,000
acres of commercial forest land
have been diverted to other
land uses, about 58 percent to
urban development and most
of the remainder to agricultural
uses. Over this same period,
however, 288,000 acres of new
forest were added, for a net
decrease of 85,000 acres. Com
mercial forests currently
occupy four million acres, or
64 percent of the total land in
North Central Georgia
The ownership of more than
one million acres of com
mercial forest land has shifted
from the farmer to the miscel
laneous private class, with little
change in the total number of
acres owned and leased by
forest industries These indus
tries own some 406,200 acres
and have another 54,500 acres
under long-term lease. Less
than two percent of the com
mercial forest land is publicly
owned.
The buildup in inventory
volume has occurred over all
ownership classes and across
the range of tree sizes Volume
of softwood has increased by
76 percent and hardwood
volume has increased by 39
percent.
The forest survey is being
conducted by the Southeastern
Forest Experiment Station, Joe
P. McClure, project leader.
On In employment
WASHINGTON The Labor
Department said m a recent
report that the list of both
large and small cities with sub
stantial unemployment has
declined for the first time in 39
months.
Substantial unemployment
is considered to be more than
six percent of the work force
out of jobs.

expected by November 1973.

Like it or not, the Christmas
season is here again. The
Christmas tree has been, and
will continue to be, an im
portant part of the year-end
holiday season.
In order to answer some of
the more common questions
we receive each year, we de
cided to do a few articles on
Christmas trees to help inform
our readers.
The origin and earliest use
of trees for festive occasions is
not exactly known, although it
is known to go back a great
number of years.
The ancient Scandinavian
people worshiped trees while
they were still wandering
tribes. Trees represented food,
shelter, and provided warmth
that sustained life through the
cold winters for these people.
They naturally included
their beloved evergreens into
their festivities and holidays,
once they deserted their pagan
ways for Christianity.
The ancient Druids of
England venerated plants,
trees, and mistletoe. From
these practices, the modern
English also adopted the use of
boughs of branches as decora
tions in their festivities and
year-end celebrations.
Ancient Germans hung food
and other valuables in trees to
hide them, and put them out
of reach of animals and, on
occasions, as an offering to
their gods. From this custom
they naturally fell into the
practice of hanging little bits of
food in trees brought into the
dwelling. These people are
generally considered to be the
first to hang presents on the
tree.
The Germans were also the

posed to have introduced the
Christmas tree to America
during the American Revolu
tion.
The Americans have
adopted these old customs and
added some of their own inno
vations, such as reflectors,
tinsels, alternate lighting,
plastics, spun glass, special
lighting effects, such as, bulbs,
and now huge lighted Santas,
reindeer, etc.
It seems each year our
decorations are becoming more
elaborate, with many new
things being introduced to
tease the buyer.
