GEORGIA FORESTRY

Editorial

Help Prevent Fires
(From the Atlanta Journal)
Georgia has a total of 24,000,000 acres of forestlands. Of that the state can be proud, for timber .is one of its richest resources.
But certainly there is no reason for pride in the number of forest fires Georgia has each year-and the carelessness that sets them off.
The record points accusingly to approximately 10,000 fires a year, often with an annual bum-over of 300,000 to 400,000 acres.
That's a shameful and wanton loss-all too often caused by the man who suffers the most, the farmer.
Debris burning is the cause of most Georgia forest fires. Spring is the time of greatest danger-a time when the landowner should be watchful and alert. Delxis fires frequently get out of hancl with astonishing quickness.
Recently in the Waycross area, a no-fire order was in effect during the dry spell. Fire loss was reduced by 50 per cent. That shows what happens when landowners give full cooperation to a fire precaution program.

.It proves that solution of a vexing problem is largely in the hands of the man who owns the land.

New Progress Seen
In State Forestry
(Fran the Waycross Journal-Herald) "Georgia's largest and most valuable natural resource 1s her 24 million acres of forestlands."
So says the introduction to a publication called "Highlights of the Annual Report of the Georgia Forestry Commissio~."
We in this section of the state have a major stake in the progress of the forest industry and the report of the Commission is therefore of particular interest to us.
Forest products and related industries, says the Commission, account for more than $750 million a year of the state's total annual economy.
Some 200,000 Georgians are directly enployed in forestry and the more than 3,000 wood-using industries throughout the state.
Georgia leads the South in pulpwood production, harvesting in excess of three million cords annually. South Georgia-our own area--is the world's naval stores capital.
And, happily, Georgia leads the nation in amount of private and state forestland under organized fire control with 22,499,300 acres under the protection 'Of county forestry units in 145 of the state's 159 counties.
Says Guyton DeLoach, former Ware countian who is director of the Georgia Forestry Commission:

Georgia Forestry is entered as second class matter at t he Post Offi ce under the Act of August 24, 1912.

Georgia's future in forestry, as Director DeLoach so well stated, is boundless. Good stewardship of our resources will
------------- pay off in abundance in the years ahead.

On this month's cover there is no tag line. The title " Georgia Forestry" is caption enough for the cover which depicts in gala fashion some of the re presentative activities of the Georgia Forestry Commission. Ranger, executive, helicopter oper ator, switchboard operator, nurseryman and investi gat or each have their spot in our hearts and on the cover as we pay tribute to the formal dedication of our new headquarters building and the rededication of the entire Commission to do a greater job in f orestry.
Incidentally , any resemblance to persons, living or dead, is p ure ly a coincidence.

101 Acres
Initial Tree Crop
Planted At Page
Planting of the initial seedling crop, worth at least $400,000, was completed recently at the new Page Memorial Nursery near Reidsv.ille.
Production of the S350,000 nursery is expected to hit 101 million seedlings, which will have a sale value of over $400,000, Forestry Commission Director Guyton DeLoach said.
The new nursery's output is expected to swell production at the Commission's five nurseries to a record-breaking 250 million seedlings this year, barring adverse weather.
I ncreased reforestation .interests by Georgia landowners and Soil Bank planting should quickly absorb the 1957 crop, DeLoach said.
Construction of the nursery, named in honor of former Ranger Matthew W. Page who lost his life while serving with the Commission, was started last October, Reforest ati on Chief Sanford Darby said. The 101-acre tree nursery was completed just before planting in late February.
Construction of the nursery .involved the laying out and preparationof 101 acres of seedbeds, and the erection of seven buildings and three residences. Nursery Supt. Me Cormic Neal, Asst. Sq>t. M.C. Coleman and Reforestation Asst. Donald Jones will live at the nursery.
Five residents of the Reidsville area work at the nursery along with 16 laborers from Reidsville State Prison who are assigned full-time at Page. The men will receive on the job training, as all of them are newcomers to nursery work.

DIG DEEPWorkers go deep for water, which is just as valuable as oil at Page.
A 957-foot-deep 14-:inch well was sunk at the nursery to prov.ide water for the sprinkler system, which required some 24 miles of underground pipe. The 1,80D-gallonsper-minute water supply insures steady growth and high-quality seed lings, Darby said. A four-million-capacity-seedling holding shed will be erected soon to prov.ide storage space for stock awaiting shipment.

orestry School Appoints ean_____

Dr. Allyn M. Herrick, a native of Syracuse, N.Y., has recently been appointed dean of the George Foster Peabody School of Forestry. Dr. Herrick succeeds the late Dean D.J. Weddell.
Coming to the University of Georgia from Pur due University where he was professor of forestry, Dr. Herrick will assume his duties as dean July 1. until then , Prof. B.F. Grant will be acting dean.
Dr. Herrick holds degrees from the New York State University College of Forestry and from the University of Michigan. He taught at the Univer sity of Georgia more than 20 years ago and bas. been on the faculty at P urdue since 1937.

Currently Dr. Herrick is vice chairman of the Central States Section, Society of American For esters. During 1946-47, he was National Presi dent of Xi Sigma Pi, professional forestry honorary fraternity. He i s an Episcopalian and a member of Phi Gamma Delta social fraternity.
As the author of many technical bulletins and journal articles, the new dean also has contributed to two books on forest economics and management. He is nationally known in forestry circles for his introduction of the quality index concept which ha_s enabled much research in forest management a-nd has greatly facilitated the appraisal of stand ing timber.

State To Observe
Keep Green Week

Georgians once again have been called upon to observe a special week in which the .increasing importance to the state and its vast acres of forestlands will be highlighted.
The week of April 713 has been set aside as "Keep Geor gia Green" week and calls for statewide participation in the week's festivities, according to Kirk Sutlive, chairman of the Keep Green committee.
Guyton DeLoach, Georgia Forestry Commission director, said rangers in each of the 145 counties under organized fire JXOtection will cooperate in organizing or presenting materials for the Keep Green program.
In many communities, newspapers will print special forestry editions, and Keep Green programs are being planned by radio stations. Forestry parades and dedication ceremonies also are being planned.
In order to create more public interest, a special Keep Geor gia Green county contest will be held. Every county under organized protection .is eligible to enter.
A district winner will be selected in each of the ten districts on "general performance" of the county forestry unit. Factors counting high on this will be I & E work on public education and public relations. Overall forest fire protection and general forestry programs, participation and cooperation of local citizens will be particularly noted.
Each of the 145 protected counties are eligible to enter a contestant in the "Miss Georgia Green Queen Contest." Judging will take place May 2 at the Dinkier Plaza Hotel in Atlanta. The queen will reign over all forestry activities for one year as the official representative of Georgia For
estry.

ATTENTION!-Hundreds of s.igns similar to the one pictured above dot Georgia highways urging auto drivers and sightseers to be especially care ful during fite season.
'The Keep Georgia Green program .is one of our greatest weapons for use in forest fire _Irevention," Sutlive stated. "Public opinion and support are necessary if we are to reduce our forest fire loss to a minimum. We have made great progress, but we still have a long way to go.,

PRETTY SOLONMrs. Ids Blitch, Eighth Distric t Congresswoman, introduces Asst. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Ervin L. Peterson at the Southern Forestry C onference in Atlant a.

PREPARED TO ADVANCE-Gov. Marvin Griffin outlined the progr ess of forestr y and conservation in Georgia , attributing it to "development of Godgive n resource.s" by Georgians.

Foresters Attend Annua Meeting

Of Forest Farmers Associatio

If Georgia's progress can be attributed to any one thing, it is to the vision of her citizens in developing their God-given resources. That observation was made last month in Atlanta by Gov. Marvin Griffin at the annual Southern Forestry Conference of the Forest Farmers Assn.
Addressing som.e 500 foresters and their guests at a luncheon during the two-day meeting, the governor spot lighted Georgia's role in connection w.ith the conference theme, "Soil, Trees and Water--Their Role .in the South ' s Economic Future." He gave particular attention to ad vancements made during his administration.

Other distinguished guests who appeared on the program were Asst. Sec. of Agriculture Erv.in L. Peterson and Eighth District Congresswoman Iris "Blitch. Introduced by Mrs. Blitch at a banquet which climaxed the conference, Undersecretary Peterson outlined the federal government' s responsibility in conservation.
(C ontinued on PaR,e 10)

Itemizing each progressive step, the state' s top exe cutive dwelt w.ith emphasis on the national prominence of the Georgia Forestry Commission and its leadership in fire control, management and reforestation. Referring to the newly enacted federal soil bank program and its effects on demand for forest tree seedlings, he gave his assurrance that the demand w.ill be met . "We're building one of the nation's largest forest tree seedling nurseries at Reidsville that will raise our seedling output well above the 150 million mark," he said, "and we're going to prov.ide for the building of an additional nursery if the need arises."

Pointing up Georgia's .interest in conservation, the governor singled out the rapid development of the state's waterways and their contributions to recreation and fresh water reserves. He also credited industry w.ith a large share of Georgia's progress, saying it has assumed leadership at the forefront of every notable advancement.
. "Georgia has no corner on the market in any commodity m the Southeast," Gov. Griffin emphasized. "We must

CROWD VIEWS RAISING OF GEORGIA FLAG OVER COMMISSION HEADQUARTERS

Governor's Speech Highlights Dedication

More than a thousand Georgians, including Gov. Marvin Griffin, got a first hand look May 11 at all phases of operations of the Georgia Forestry Commission at the dedication of the new S200,000 headquarters in Macon.
The governor literally dropped in for the ceremonies, as he was ferried from a local airport to the steps of the speaker's platform in the Forestry Commission's new tree-spraying helicopter.
Gov. Griffin called on Georgians to work together to put their state foremost in the forest industry.
Georgia already leads the nation in many phases of forestry and the South in others, he said.
Let us continue to strive so we can move forward to even greater achievements in the future."

Griffin painted out that his administration has ''taken an outstanding part" .in bringing about the present 'high state of efficiency and achievement to these .important fields of the state's rapidly growing economy."
Two million dollars annually is now provided the Commission, he said, compared to a 1947 appropr.iation of S275,000.
These funds are used to spearhead the development of all phases of the forest .industry, which yields more than S750 million annually to the state's economy, employs more than 200,000 persons and includes more than 3,000 wood-using industries.
Gov. 'Griffin's speech highlighted the dedication,.which .included a welcome by Bibb County Commission Chairman Kenneth Dunwoody, an introduction by Macon Mayor
