WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, Alamo, Ga.
Keeping South
Georgia Green
BY MRS. O. F. McRAE
Mcßae, Ga.
Since the first garden, man has ■
had a fight to preserve beauty w’hich,
in a vast degree is destroyed by man.
In speaking of conservation we are
apt to employ repetition, which may
be boring to some. It is my opinion '
that in a subject so important to our .
well being as conservation and its al
lied topics, Reforestation and Fire
Control, repetition should be provoc- ;
ative and productive. Think what j
; repeating over and over means to
Coca-Cola, Duz, Vicks, hundreds of i
products—lt is effective to the ends
|of the earth. Daily we need to re- -
’ peat—and never tire of the soul re- ;
freshing promise.—“ The Lord is my ;
shepherd I shall not want—He |
i maketh me to lie down in green pas
tures—He leadeth me beside the still
; waters.” “He restoreth my soul.”
GREEN PASTURES! How man
j continues to exploit them! He de
! nudes the earth—The soil .so neces
sary to existence. And the Forests
i where he birds and wild creatures
■ are want to find refuge!
Disasters occur—sometimes from
wilful destruction, sometimes the re
sults of unheralded changes in the)
elements, such as the freeze we ex- ■
perienced recently—but thanks to the '
■ 'hope that springs eternal in the hu- i
• man heart, we rise from defeat and j
plant again. Whether consciously or
not we are impelled by the promise ।
that “As long as the earth remaineth, ■
seed time and harvest, summer and
winter, day and night shall not cease.”
The farmer who has lost his lu
pine, his fall forage crops, bolsters ;
his faith, meets his crisis, and plants '
again. Our shrubbery is blackened,■
our blooms blightdd, but do we quit?
No. We dig up the flower catalogues,
’ and look about for something quick
growing, something that will with
stand the cold blasts next time.
■ Noticing those plants that have sur
■ vived, we might consider for our per
manent borders, plants such as Susan
quas, Cherry Laurel, Hollies, Arbor
■ Vitaes, discredited in the past.
l Shrubs in the home garden and in
. the forest are important, but of more
importance are the trees. In this
! section, it seems the Live Oak should
> have - more consideration:
“With his gnarled old arms, and his
iron form,
i Majestic in the wood,
. From age to age in the sun and storm,
The live oak long has stood
With his stately air, that grave old
I tree,
I He stands like a hooded monk,
; With the gray moss waving solemn
ly
From his shaggy limbs and trunk,
And the generations come and go,
! And still he stands upright,
i And he sternly looks at the woods
below,
. As conscious of his might.
Why not plant one on the school
grounds, perhaps on Arbor Day?
There is only one growing in our
town. And they' are available close
' ' by-
Then for keeping South Georgia
Green, what more fitting than the
I magnolia, Queen of the South?
But for year round beauty, versa
tility, and for source of income, what
more important than our wonderful
pines?
An old darky singin’ in de woods of
pine,
A-Working de trees for turpentine:
“My luck, it grows wid de piney
wood
An’ while pines grow my luck
stays good-
Food in de kitchen and times
ain’t hard
When a man works out in God’s
front yard.
“Lissen here, honey, es you want to
farm
Doan let the piney wood come to
harm
Dey’s always workin’ for de farmer
hard.
Lak’ great big soldier men a-stand
in’ guard,
A-keepin’ way drought, de frost and
bugs—
Oh, happy am de farm de piney
wood hugs!
“When you hear de win’ a humin’ in
de pine,
Hit makes a tune dat sounds highty
fine.
De big pine trees are makin’ dat
sown’,
Talking to dere babies close to the
groun’—
Li’l pine' babies growin’ down be
low—
Gotta help dem babies if they’s goin
to grow!
“When you hear de big, old pine trees
moan
Dere’s fire in de woods dat makes
them groan.
De little fire kills de li’l baby trees, j
De grass and de birds, but no ticks
or fleas.
De big fire kills de big trees too — (
We gotto stop fires, whatever we do!”
What have we done to protect our
woods? It is interesting to note the
progress of forestry in our nation,
our state, our county. First in Con
servation in Georgia, were the Chero- |
kees, out of the north they had
come, this band of roving Chero
keesi—to find a land of unbroken
forests, clear running streams, plenti
ful game and fish. No one knows the
I exact date ^he Indian came. We do
| know that in 1540 he and his elans
i lived throughout the length and '
breadth of Georgia—when DeSota
came. DeSdfa found the forests in;
much the same condition as the Red:
Men had found them. They had lived i
j off the forests, hunting and fishing, I
' but they never took more game than
I ws necessary to meet their nepds, and
the largest fish in the stream were'
'safe when the pot was full.
Early in 'the history of Georgia, j
: laws were passed for the conserva
tion cc natural resources. From the
date of 1790 the legislature had.
i passed many laws for the protection
'of game. Georgia forest fire laws I
I arc not new. The present law, passed
iin 1937, prohibits any person, not a
resident of the county where the;
firing is done or owning lands there- '
in, from setting out woods fires ex
cent during a month of the year speci- i
tied by the State Forester.
In 1922 a group of public spirited
Georgians, men and women, met and :
■formed the Georgia Forestry Associa
tion. After this, in 1925, and Act was :
passed creating the State Board of'
I Forestry, making provision for a
i State Forester.
One of the founders of the As
! sociation — Bonnell Stone, devoted
i his life, day and night, to Forestry.
Dr. Herty’s work was a great contri-
I button to the progress of Southern
I forestry. He demonstrated that
' southern pines are suitable raw ma
terial for dozens of products—their ;
possibilities endless. So Forestry
marches on—Large land owners be
; gan to experiment with reforestation,
j Prominent among these was James
I Fowler, of Soperton, one of the first
to raise and sell seedlings, and to
demonstrate how rundown and wild
land could be made productive by
.planting in pines. From such sources
has come the Tree Farm System,
farmers training in forestry and
achieving citations.
In 1928 the first Vocational Forest- I
ry courses to be introducted in the
Nation were introduced in Georgia.
Over a hundred white and twenty
Negro Vocation Schools established
school forests with the help of
the Georgia Forest Service. This
does not permit going into the Park
program, but suffice it to repeat the
statement of one—“ Perhaps in the
Parks is probably left the last stand
of the Primitive."
There is no more important matter
before us than the need of adequate
protecttion from forest fires which
are said to be the South’s great
enemy. It is reliably estimated that
1,600,000 acres of forest land in Geor
gia burned last year. A large pro
portion of this was at our own doors
in South Georgia. These forests are
far too valuable in the State’s econ
omy to perrhit their being wasted by
forest fires.
The women of South Georgia can
help in the effort to assure protection
of their forests. You may ask how?
If the county is organized under
fire protection—with help of state
and federal aid and ours is—each
club woman should get acquainted
with the representatives of the De
partment of Forestry and offer to
help mold sentiment in favor pf fire
protection.
Each woman can help in a number
of ways:
1. Don’t burn trash on a windy
day. Fire knows no bounary lines.
2. Discuss the fire situation with
the men in charge of the worx.
3. Find' out the problems they
are encountering in their efforts to
assure production.
4. Find out who starts the fires.
5. Look into the reasons given !by
people who start fires.
6. Talk with these people and try [
to convince them of the need for pro
tection of forests.
7. Encourage school authorities
to include information with respect
to protection of forests in their teach
ing of yopng people.
In short study the problems of
{ protection. Let the people of your
community know that you are in
favor of protection. After all, it is
a matter of education. We often
hear it said that you can’t do much
with tire older people—begin wiA
the children.
Some experiences that have proven
worth while have been Nature Camps
for youth, 1 with a study of birds,
trees and wildlife. Also Conserva
tion laboratories for teachers.
In our county, forest protection was I
set up by the County Commisioner, ■
i and other interested persons, in July
1949. We now have an organization ■
I consisting pl; a Board with Walter
Dyal, Chaifenan and apopinted to as-'
I sist in the-Work are E. B. Smith, J.
M. Cook, W. F. McEaqhin, and C. E.

other large or small landowners to |
