Don't Cut That Old Pi ne Tree
(From the .\lacon J' e l eg raph)
Those of u s who love Georgia' s tall, maJestic pi n es wi ll be ple.1sed to know another honor has come to the object of our affection.
The world's oldest known living things, it ha.s developed, are the bristlecone pine tree s o f California.
Realizing this, the federal governmen t has decided to protect the gnarlec.i old trees from th e rav.1gc s of souveni r hunters. The forest se r vice has set aside a !.7 ,000-acre re s tricted bota nical area high in the White \ lount.1ins.
One of the \lethuselahs, as th e bristlecone pines o~re c.1lled, is ~/>00 years old-more than 2,500 years o ld when Christ w:1s born. (The age is reckoned hy using .1 steel borer t o t.1ke out a core about .1s thi ck .1~ a le.1 ,! pencil; rings are then co unted.)
\\'hile the \lc t hu~elahs be:1r lit tle resemblance to our \Iiddle c;corgia pines, they're still k infolks. And we're migh tv proud the v' re being taken care of in thcit old age .

(From the .\t lanta journal)
F ore s t products rate as a massive contributor to th e economy of Geo rgia-wi th re turn s we ll over half a billion dollars annually. Georgi a ran ks second in the South and fifth in th e n:1tion in lu mbe r p roduction , and certainly nothing shou ld be s pared in keepi ng thi s gigan ti c indu stry in a fl ou rishing cond iti on.
One o f the areas fo r encourag in g proper manageme nt o f woodlands is founJ in a program ca ll ed t he Ame ri c:1n Tre e F:1 rm System. Spo n so r ed by th e American Fore s t Products In dustries, th e system concentrate s on th e deve lo pme nt and c:1 r e of privately ow n ed fo re s tlan ds.
Geo rgia has ~89 tr ee farm s on ~.909, 193 acres, an d ther e is considerab l e talk in :\l abam:1 o f a contest among the Deep South s ta te s for tree fa rm leade rs hip.
:\labama al r eaJy ha s is s ued a t en t a tiv e cha llen ge to .\1ississippi and Florida, and has suggested th a t perhaps Georgia would like to participa te.
In reality there would be no loser s in competition of this kind . The winn e rs would b e the tree farmers , the communitie s a nd the stat es .
In s ig ning up to be a certifi ed tree fa rmer, a landowner .1grees to a progra m of forest prot ec ti on, harvesting and replanting.
Georgians know a grea t dea l about woodlands m:1nagement. and by joining in frien d lv competition with their neighbors , the y might learn even more.

There were all types of beauty contests-from elaborate outdoor spectacles which were part of forestry 'days' to small .indoor judgings.

ductions featuring over 40 contestants, went off without a hitch, thanks to the diligence of the sponsors. Large crowds attended the spectacul ars, which were held in gymnasiums, theatres, school auditoriums , community houses and even outdoors in a state park.
Dodge County's pageant, the only one which featured a bathing suit division, incidentally, also produced the season's most unique note-sister succeeding sister as queen. The Eastman crowd was delighte d by the crowning of 16 -year-old Rita

Seedling Ordering Opens

June 1 means pine seedling o rJering ti me again for thous,1ncls of reforestation-minJeJ c;eorgians. Thev .ue again expected to seek a record number of Georgia Forestry Commission-grown trees.
To help meet the anticipated flood o f seedling re quests. the Commission plan teJ its new 107-acre \!organ .\lemorial ;'\Jursery near \lacon for the first time. This is the sixth Commission nursery to go into oper:1 ti on. OrJers floo,led over the 100 mill ion m<Hk in 1957.
Some ch.:wges have been introduced in the orclering procedure, which ends Sept. IS, instead of Oct. 1, as before.
Order blank s, which are unchanged, and revi seJ booklets wltich completely explain the ordering process :1 re av::~ilable :1t all Cor1miss ion county fore s try units and district offices, the Commission sta t e headquarter s, Box 118 ">, .'.bc o n, county agents and soil conservation technicians.
IB.\f equipment wi ll be u sed this year to process the orders. This will simplify th ei r hanJling and will enable the Commission to set up the orders for delivery as close as possible to th e date requesteJ by th e purchaser.
This year al l orders of 50,000 trees or brger must be picked up at Commission nur serie s by the purchasers. State truck s will continue to deliver all orders under this s i ze to county forestry units or to county agents or soil technici ans in coun ties which have no fore s try unit s .

Cancellations of o rders after the Sep t. 15 closing da t e will cost the purchaser 25 per cen t of the price of the cancelled seedlings. Thi s charge is made to cover the handling costs. Cancellations may be made during the ordering period without penalty, however.
Persons who have to cancel their orders after Sep t: 15 may prevent the penalty by accepting their seedlings and then reselling them at cost-and for planting in Georgia only.
Prices remain the same in 1958 Loblolly, longleaf and s lash pine will co s t four dollars per thousand. Eastern white pine will cost nine and eastern red cedar and yellow poplar 10 dollars per thousand. There is a transportation charge of 25 cent s per thousand on deliveries by state truck.
Lifting and delivery will begin Nov. 15 and will end Feb. 15. As usual, the Commission will ship only heal thy, vigorous seedlings, but because of delays in planting, improper storage a fter the landowner receives the seedlings, adverse weather, incorrect planting and other such adverse factors, the Commission cannot guarantee seedling s urvival.
All Commission personnel will be del igh ted to assist Georgians in any way in the ordering, receiving and pl anting of their seedlings. Commission Director Guyton DeLoach has said he' ll cover Georgia with pines i f th a t 's wh at his fellow Georgi a n s want. Commission personn el a re always ready to help h im do it .
