Cruising the News Doing Better For Forests (From the Thomasville Times Enterprise) The most wasteful habit that we know of in this country is the failure to protect our forests. Most of us know that there are nearly two hundred thousand forest fires in America each year. There is no estimate of the real losses that have occurred from this one cause alone , nor the reasons why fires increase in number and loss each year. Forest fires can be very destructive and the fumes often cannot be confined to woods. The loss of the timt er itself is material and the collateral damage that is done to waterways and those protective phases of our country are not being properly evaluated or steps taken to wipe out the possibility of the many varieties of forest fires that are reported and many of them result from sheer and unwarranted carelessness. This section has been blessed with such forests as have stimulated its development and many forest owners have taken steps to afford the proper protection against fires and to create conditions in other respects that promote the general values of all lands and especially those that are adaptable for the quick growth and natural propagation of timber and lumber. There are many land owners wh o c an visu a lize wh a t the planting and cultivation of pine trees mea ns and they have given thought to the best program for the entire s ec ti on. Young trees have been planted a nd c a re d for an d when they are of the proper age, ha ve replaced those trees that are felled and used. The amazing ly prtmltt ve way the forests were treated some y ears ago i s s ti 11 a n a tional disgrace but that era has passed and we are doing better for ourselves and our forests and land s in every way. The young men who have led in this program deserve our serious thanks and it will be of benefit to us alL. Forests Are Key To Prosperity (From the Daily Tifton Gazette) As each year passes, trees are becoming more of the key s that open the door of prosperity in Tift County and in Georgia. The products of our woodland acres are enriching more people and, in addition, the new forests are storing up assets for years to come which will benefit future generations . Other sectiol)s of America look to oils and minerals for natural wealth, but these resources can become exhausted in a comparatively short span of time. They are non-renewable. Georgia's trees, however, are renewable annually like Vol. ll GEORGIA FORESTRY September, 1958 Published Monthly by the GEORGIA F ORESTRY COMMISSION Box 1183 Macon, Georgia Guyton DeLoach, Director No.9 Members, Board of Commissioners : C.

DeLoach, Henson congratulate Smith Henson, Smith Get New Posts Floyd Al Smith, seven-year veteran of Forestry Commission service is the new Fourth District Forester at ewnan , Director Guyton DeLoach announced. He replaces James Henson, who is the new Eighth District Forester at Waycross. The new appointment and shift were brought about by the resignation effective September 1, of Eighth District Forester George Lavinder, who left Waycross to grow rubber trees in Sumatr a for Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. Lavinder had announced his resignation some months ago, bu t the outbreak of civil war in Indonesia delayed his departure last spring. The return of peace this summer paved the way for the State Department to okay Lavinder's departure. Smi th joined the Forestry Commission in September, 1951, after graduating from the University of Georgia Forestry Schoo l. He served as Cook County forest ranger for a year and then was assistant district forester in management and fire control at the Camilla and Statesboro district offices. Smi th has been at Statesboro since 195 6 . He is a avy veteran, is married and has a son. Henson joined the Commission in 1950 after graduatin g from the University of Geo rgi a . He served as Emanuel Co unty ranger for a year and then as assistant district forester in fire control and management at Statesboro. He was named Fourth District Forester in 1955. He is married, has one child and is a Navy veteran . In other personnel changes, the Forestry Commission added six 1958 graduates of the University of Georgia School of Forestry to its training program. The young foresters, all Georgians, will serve a year in the field as County Ranger II' s under experienced rangers. They will then be eligible for promotion to assistant district forester in the various pha.ses of forestry. Louis Deaton of Stone Mountain, a veteran of two years in the U. S. Army, will become the Upson County Ranger in Thomaston. He is the only member of the group to take over a forestry unit. Jerry Lanier of Metter will go to the Emanuel County Unit in Swainsboro as assistant ranger. Jerry D. Marsh of Statesboro will serve as assistant Liberty County Ranger at Midway. Dan Sims of Atlanta and Edward Moore of Lakeland will work on the Waycross State Forest in Ware County. Henry Williams of Milan will serve as assistant ranger of the Crisp-Dooly County Unit at Cordele. The new rangers are all members of the Society of American Foresters. GFA officials White, Patton send IVylene winRing Miss Green Charms Congress, Navvth R e p. Flynt greets Queen A whirlwind five-day tour of the East which included everything from Gotham sidewalk cafes to the nation's Capitol and everyone from Kathryn Grayson to Sen. Herman Talmadge was the prize for Wylene Cowart of Carroll Counry, the 1958 Miss Georgia Green beauty queen. The willowy brunette whose interesting statistics are :5' 7", 123 pounds and 36-22-36 won the Georgia Forestry Assn. beauty title in May in Atlanta. She took her trip via Delta Airlines this summer, chaperoned by Mrs. William Birdsong of Carrollton. Mrs. Birdsong, incidentally, groomed and coached Wylene all the way from the Carroll County beauty contest to the state finals. The pair stayed at the St. Moritz Hotel in New York and appeared on several television shows. They visite_d all the favorite tourist spots , including a chat at Radio Ciry Music Hall with singer Gr~yson, who presented Wylene with a large autographed picture. In Washington, the honors were even greater. Wylene was introduced to Congress by Rep. Jack Flynt of Griffin and Sen. Talmadge, where the solons formed a receiving line to meet the forestry queen personally. Wylene, a senior at Roopville High School, is interested most in home economics. She likes to cook and clean house, which should come in handy in the future, as she's been "going steady" with a West Georgia College student for three years. Wy lene' s wardrobe for the trip was donated by Carroll Counry citizens. She has made several appearances as Miss Georgia Green and will probably make more before her reign ends next spring. Georgia Forestry Assn. Executive Secretary Harvey Brown said the beauty contest will be staged again next year at the annual meeting and that a similar New York-Washington trip will again be awarded the winner. "We're looking for even more contestants than we had this year," Brown said. Deloach Speaks at Extension Program Forestry Commission Director Guyton DeLoach will be a featured speaker October 16 at the Rock Eagle 4-H Club Center kickoff of the Georgia Extension Service's six-point forestry educational program. Senator Herman Talmadge, a long-time forestry booster and woodland owner, will be principal speaker at the state-wide meeting which will emphasize the need of Georgians to develop full productio'n from their woodlands. DeLoach, Federal, industrial and private forestry leaders will each present one of the six steps of the Extension Service says that Georgians must take to raise forest production from its present 50 per cent of its potential. "Georgia landowners must carry out a full management plan to achieve this maximum,'' Extension Service Director W. A. Sutton of Athens said. "A partial program, such as fire protection and reforestation, is not enough. All six steps must be followed." Well over 1,000 persons are expected to attend the meeting near Eatonton. Large and small landowners, representatives of forest industry, agricultural workers, bankers and others have been invited to the program. County agents and local groups will follow up the program in their counties. DeLoach will discuss "Prevention and Control of Wildfires." James K. Vessey of Atlanta, regional forester of the U. S. Forest Service , will speak on "Reforestation of Idle Land." Other speakers and their points include E. T. Newsom, Jr. of Rome, Rome Kraft Co., "Timber Stand Improvement;" Ed Knapp of Macon, consulting forester representing Forest Farmers Assn., "Diversified Utilization;" W. M. Oettm eier of Fargo, president of the Georgia Forestry Assn., "Good Harvesting Practices;" Jim L. Gillis , Jr., Soperton, chairman State Soil Conservation Committee, " Wise Selling Practices;" and Charles R. O'Kelley , state agricultural leader, Extension Service, "The Six-Step Program in Action." The program begins at 10:30 a. m. a nd a barbecue lunch will be served. Nevv Cone Plan Yields Big Crop Four contractors chosen on a bid basis by the Reforesta tion Section of the Georgia Forestry Commission collected some 83,500 bushels of pine cones this fall to provide seed for Commission tree nurseries. The contractors are Grady Johnson, Swainsboro, J. W. Cullens, Vidalia, Ernest Hinson , Baldwin, and Quincy Merritt, Douglas. The contractors were responsible for obtaining 71,500 bushels of slash and 12,000 bushels of lob~olly and longleaf pine cones. The cone collection area has been divided into five zones. Zone one includes Emanuel, Jenkins, Candler and Bulloch Counties. Zone two is Toombs, Montgomery, Treutlen and Wheeler Counties. Zone three includes Dodge and Laurens Counties. Zone four consists of Coffee, Wilcox, Ben Hill, Irwin, Telfair and Jeff Davis Counties, while' zone five includes Putnam, Hancock, Jones, Baldwin, Washington, Bibb, Twiggs and Wilkinson Counties. The 1958 collection system was somewhat different from the 1957 setup. The contractors handled all collection details for the Commission, thus eliminating a considerable consumption of aspirin in the Reforestation Dept. and among Commission field personnel, who ramrodded last year's 100,000-bushel cone roundup. Each county again had pine cone dealers, who bought the cones from the individuals who picked them from the trees . The dealers turned the cones over to the contractors, who forwarded them to Forestry Commission concentration points, where the cones were inspected for disease, insect damage, foreign matter and maturity. This helped insure .top quality seed for the nurseries. The cones were then taken to drying sheds in Vidalia, Macon and Baxley. After drying, the cones will be run thru the Commission's seed extractory at the Forestry Center in Macon. They will be stored at the Center for future planting, either in 1959 or in years when there is a lean cone crop. Busy as a 4-armed cone collector IBM Installed... for ICBM Speed IBM Machines blasted off this fall in the Administration Department of the Forestry Commission to give ICBM speed to a multitude of accounting chores. Administration Chief George Bishop said the complex machines, which are set up in the basement of the Macon Headquarters , will pay for themselves by saving thousands of dollars and clerical hours. The machines will be an especial blessing, he added , during the 1958-59 forest tree seedling shipping season, whi ch has balloo!!_ed , to gigantic pr6po;tions with a record-bre aking crop. the reforestation burden will be eased by having the machines address and print all shipping orders. The punch ed order card will be fed into one end of the mechanical marvels and the printed shipping orders will scoot out the other. Reforestation personnel will schedule delivery of the orders as near as possible to the date requested by the purchasers. Reforestation isn't the only department which will have its burdens eased by ,the nigh-human machines. All county fire reports will be punched on special cards, forestry unit cost re.cords will be kept on them, records will be maintained of seed orchard research and a continuous inventory will be kept of Waycross State Fore st. -The compad cards will bear- a multitud-e of vital fire information which will be useful not only to the Commission Fire Control Section, but also for fire and weather research at the new Southern Forest Fire Laboratory at the Forestry Center. The cards will tell the name of the county, the fire number, location, weather, visibility, fire build up index, wind velocity and direction, cause of fire, causal agent, fire suppression record, number of men and equipment on the fire, ownership of burned land, size of the tract affected and the size of the fire. The seed orchard cards will tell the plot number of the individual trees, their row number, tree number, height, DBH, rust, defects and other facts. This progeny test data is necessary to carry out the Coipmission' s program to produce seed from superior pines.. Keeping the unit cost records here will remove this burden from the 10 district offices and will eliminate the need for another clerk at those offices. The machines will reduce the present bookkeeping load on the district secretaries and will enable them to devote more time to vital corre~pondence and radio dispatching. Joe Bagwell, the present Commission cashier, heads the IBM installation. ij_e, aided when necessary by Administrative Assis tant Cecil Osborne, will wire the complex control circuits which keep the cards-punched by Mrs. Louise McFaddin and Mrs. Bessie Rae Crowe-flo ing smoothly. Mechanical marvel sorts orders Orders are punched in Reforestation Department Gals verify them in IBM room Bagwell checks accounting machine Nothing to it, Walker tells Pallas Walker Heac:ls Fertilizer Stuc:ly Dr. Laurence C. Walker, the University of Georgia's forest soils expert, will shift from radioactivity to forest fertili zation activity in the Southeast, Dr. Samuel Ti-sdale, Southeastern Regional Director, National Plant Food Institute, announced. Walker, serving as chief forester for the Institute, will survey all Southeastern forest fertilization research so that it may be co-ordinated and improved. He has been granted a year's leave of absence from the University to conduct the survey. A six-man college-industry 'task force' is assisting Walk- er in the ll-state survey, which stretches from Virginia to Texas. The study will determine the areas in which duplication exists. Walker will then devise a plan which colleges and the pulp and paper and fertilizer industries can follow to get maximum effectiveness from their research. Studies will be set up to determine the economic feasibility of the fertilization of various species of trees under different soil conditions. The Institute will provide the initial financial support. . The need for the study was emphasized by recent progress 10 the development of forest fertilizers. However, there has been no co-ordination of effort, nor is much precise information available on the economic feasibility of forest fertiilzation. The results of the survey should determine if such fertilization should be pursued on a large scale. Dr. James Pallas, who has just received his doctorate in botany from the University of California at Davis, Calif., will replace Walker at the University. Pallas did his doctoral work in carbon 14 methodology. This is Pallas first trip to the South, whose forestry; which differs so vastly from that of his native California, completely fascinates him, he said. Pallas is married and has four children. Pulp Capacity Up, Wood Output Down Georgia again led the nation in pulpwood production in More hardwoods are being used for pulp. They accounted 1957 with 3.9 million cords, a U. S. Forest Service survey for 15.4 per cent of the round pulpwood produced in 1957. disclosed. However, Southern pulpwood production was off Alabama added two pulpwood mills and existing mills ex- 2.8 per cent from 1956, despite an increase in pulp mill panded. Seventy mills are operating in 12 states from Vir- capacity to almost 41,000 tons per day. Forest Survey Release No. 53 revealed that the paper in- ginia ro Texas. Georgia and Florida have 10 mills each, but Florida's dustry reflected the national business recession, as it consumed 562,000 less cords of pulpwood than in 1956. T~tal pulp capacity is greater.
