NO OTHER CROP
SO CERTAIN
The demand for timber com |
tinues to'increase yearly, and]
the farmers of the South!
should see that they have their!
share in the consequent profit,
as they are large owners of
land 'which does, or should pro
; duce timber.
! . No other crop in the timber
; section is so easy to produce.
! No other farm crop is so cer
tain. No other farm crop can
i show such a steady value in
crease with so little fluctuation
[in price.
The farmer has the advan
itage in that his land usually
[contains marketable trees;
[ good reproduction; and seed
[trees to replant his forest witb
;out any help from himself ex
[ c^pt fire protection, and pro
tection fro nihogs in the long
leaf section.
He has the advantage in fire
prevention in that he is living
in the middle of his timber
land and is at no expense to
keep it unburned.
WHEN YOU PLANT TREES
The best method of timber
production by artificial means,
[ i-ccorrHng to government ■ ex'-
iperts, is by nursery)' stock’set
[out in furrows plowed in the
1 collect the green he r ■ in iio
The method to be followed is
IwodoS, usually about October.
when they open shake the seeas
[ out. ,
Select a well drained, sandy
soil for the seed bed, and plant
the seeds about usual crop
[planting time in the spring.
The seeds are not put under the
earth, but scattered on top- and
; pressed down with a board or
roller. The lied should be cov
efvd with burlap as protection
from the sun, and liberally
! watered.
The plants are usually ready
[for setting out in the woods,
ifrom late fall to the first of thei
l year. • ,
; After they get out in the
[woods, do not let them mix;
■ with fire. The seedlings always;
[get the worst of it.

“SITTING PRETTY’^
The far me rof the South can
[get a very valuable piece of in- :
formation for his own profit b
giving a little thought to the
fire prevention work of the big
iand companies. All over the
South '.■ !"■ land owners are
pr I .ecting their forest lands
from fire. They must pay men
and furnish horses, and build
towers, and run telephone
lines to obtain protection.
The farmer can protect his
awn land at practically no cost,
as he usually is living where
he can see all parts of it from
his front gallery. If a fire
starts he can easily beat the
flame to his own boundary line,
and stop it without much dam
age, and at no expense.
If the large land companies;
can see sufficient profit in tim-[
her production to allow them to
pay thousands of dollars to pro^ 1
tect the land from fire, if
should certainly follow that the.;
farmer tan see sufficient profit
for himself to determine him to
beat out the fires that come on j
his land in the future.
TIMBER GROWING
PAYS FARMERS

w r. whether or uoi a man van
alfard to buy cut over land, pay.

He is going to pay taxes on I
it anyway, it will not cost any 1
more, it will reforest itself ifj
seed trees or young growth are;
left on it, and his only expense'
is the time he spends plowing)
fire lines or fighting fires, andi
nearly everyone has some spare
time.
So that with practically no :
cost he jvill attain the same re-i
su-lts that the capitalist-who!
buys the land and hires every-;
thing done will get.

7HEY STILL THIKN
■INS WRONG
In certair. of our Southern
states any n quest for funds to
promote forestry work, which
means timber growing, is re
garded as the outburst of
fanatics. ..
Yet our American forests
have shrunk fro mover 800,-
000,000 acres to 138,000,000
acres.
With the condition before us
of Northern and Eastern statfes
almost denuded of forests, and
facing loss of important indus
tries, abrost frantically pass
ing laws for the preservation
of thep' forests; with a thou
sand y of forest venture
and experiment in the old coun
tries of cur guidance; we of
the S viLh, with sufficient tim
ber still remaining to insure
, prosperity until we can get a
new crop, are due for an awak
, ening.
We need laws; laws for the
purb.iim it of those who ma
)T -iouMy set our woods afire;
'and laws that will allow the
; land owner who is spending
time and money to get a forest
; started a cessation from bur
[deisome taxation until he
[ “makes his crop.” It is the
[business of every man who
I owns an acre of land in the
pi:»• • woods to interest himself
to,the extent*that his land pro
duces .timber.
PUR CARELESSNESS
LOSING US MONEY
■ / ebferybody .admits that
7b-.be'' will grow when the land
'ji- |ot bgrned over, it is evi
'Mi M that fires, are costing us
i v ’S' -y.
.vMeDm.'SS. A great per
icfn.ag? 6f forest fires in the
lUniied States is caused by
[ throwing away lighted matches,
[cigars and cigarettes in the
I neighborhood of the woods;
; failure to put out camp fires;
Hires set maliciously; fires
[ started to burn off the old grass
on the range in attempt to im
provethe grazing, which it
[ never, does.
Add Oew fires by means of
! lightning, some more by sparks
[from locomotives, and we have
;the list of all the things that
[are losing uS money in our for-
T-.ts, but iw worst of these is
: carMewmsss. .. .
