A Boon to Re forestation 
(F rom th e AT L ANTA ) Olf l{NA L) 
HIGHLY IMPORT ANT t o Georg i a's vas t tim ber indus try is a bra nd new prepara t ion which c a n be a pp lied t o long leaf pi ne seeds be fore sowing , a nd protect the m fr om b irds a n d r odents. 
In e va luati on of the re pe ll e nt , which is c o mposed of te tr a me th y l thi uram disu l phi de, t he U.S . Depa rtm e nt o f Agric ulture says i t makes direct seeding of trees prac tica l a nd inexpensive. 
The new repellent has many feat ures appea ling t o Georgia l andowners. It is not ha r mful t o b irds and a ni - 
mals, and it does not retard germina tion. Direct sowing cU tree seeds is s till th e c h eapes t way 
to plant, but most foresters advocate setting out seedlings because it is simpler proced ure a nd more pr edictable. 
Under certain conditions, however , the sowing of seeds is t he best method. Longlea f pine seed should be planted between late October a nd early December, as soon as soil moisture will make t he seed ge rmi na t e quickly. 
Georgia has 24,000,000 acres of forests - mostl y pine. Na t urally, the owners of this la nd wi ll be treme ndous ly interested in the new repe lle nt . A ma jor re fore s tatio n problem has bee n so lved in f indi ng a way to keep bir<is and anima ls from devouri ng seed .

A poem lovely 
 
well-used tree...' 
 
Poe ts see many things when they sing about a. tree , but wood technologists see even more - pos ts , pilings, lumber, chemic als, paper , modi fied woods, naval s tores and a host of other products . 
For centuries man's unimaginative use of the tre e slig hted Mother a ture' s ge nerosit y . Man ig nored the ma ss of tre as ures contained in the noble pl a nt a nd used only its obvious products . 
Bu t in thi s century of scie nce , resea rch foresters bega n to use the tree rPo re full y . To promote more efficient utiliza tion of wood in Georg ia , the Georgia Forestry 
omrn ission a nd the U. S. Forest Service started the Georgia Forest Utili zation Service in 1955. 
A forest products technologist was employed to conduct app lied re search on problems of the wood -using 
 
industry a nd t o help persons solve these prob)ems in the field. The Forest Utilization Service dis sem ina tes information o n th e latest trends in wood rese a rch and de velopment, including chemical utili zation and wood processing. A monthly news release helps do this . 
The Service trie s to bring a bout a better unders ta nding be t wee n ti rPbe r gro we rs a nd the wood-using ind us trie s . It a lso gives da ta to persons interested in locating wood -u s ing indus trie s in Georgi a . 
Efficient wood utilization practices during manufacturing, processing, a nd fabric a ting will insure a profit ab le future for the prod ucts of Georgia's number one natura l resource. 
In this issue we wi ll tell wha t Georgians are doing to further the efficient use of wood.

 ut Mills In The Chi 
The bark is removed because it cannot be used in the ma nufadure of wood pulp. Aft e r the log has b een sawed int o lumber, the coarse waste is conveyed into a wood chipper. The chips are then screened a nd blown into a s pecia lly cons truc ted truck or rail c ar for shipment to th e pulp mill. Georgi a mills use pine chips pri marily. 
The chipper, debarke r, chip screen and conveyors, depe nding upon their s ize, can be insta lled for $25,000 to $ 100,000 more. However, this investment can often be rega in ed in a compara tively short time from res ulting profit s . The owner of a small South Georg ia saw mill report ed th a t he cle ared $2,000 in the first mo nt h of opera tion of a new chipper and debarker. 
Re search is underway to utilize the bark and sawdust profita bly. A saw wh ich cuts chips in stead of sawd us t is being tested. Very limited commercial uses have been found t bus far for the large quantities of bark which are acc umulat ing in th e saw mills. New uses are being s tea d ily so ugh t , h owever.

 Lumber Treatment Puts Muscles In, Keeps Bugs Out 
/ /-. .-.- 
 
Treatrr.ent of foundation tlrrbers in houses can save 
the homeowner many times the cost of the preservative in repairs and worry. 
Wood preservation was formerly tH ought of principa ll y tn terms of treating timber ,.hich carre into direct contact with the ground , such as fence posts, telephone and telegraph poles and pilings. But house repair bills have proved the necessity for further treatment. 
Americans who failed to apply preservatives to th e s ub s tructur e of their houses are suffe ring annual losses of $300 million to decay and $:50-200 million to insects the Forest Products Laboratory of t-.ladison, \\i s ., estimates. ~luch of this loss is in the South. 
It is false economy when huildi ng a home to save t~e few dollar'> tklt treatment costs. Only a few years later, repair hills may return to haunt you. llouses can h.1v<: theu sills, floor joists, hridging and sub-flooring treated for .1 small fraction of the bui ldi ng cost. Pressure tre,Jtment \\ Ith an approved chemical el1min,1tes the necessit; of purchasing termite shields . This cuts the net cost of the preserva tive furthe r. 
A repair and soil poisoning cost of a large number of houses reve .led tlut such losses dep leted the owner's pocketbook an aver.1 ge of ~165. Some house~ had to be repaired when they ''ere onlv six years old.
