If you think that most of Georgia's forest fires ore caused by carelessness you should know that over 25 per cent were set deliberately in the lost fiscal year.
Of 8,994 forest fires in fiscal 1966, more than 2,000 were set by arsonists, Fronk Craven, chief of education for the State Forestry Commission, said Monday.

Craven said the firebugs burned down 17,519 acres of timberland out of a total of 58 ,863 acres burned during that period.

..-orest Protection Expanded Statewide ,

A long sought goal of obtaining statewide forest fire protection has

been och ieved, occordi ng to Roy

was expanded to all 159 counties on

July 1 with the signing of Quitman and Towns Count ies. This brings to

with the Stewart-Webster Unit. Towns County was combined with the Fannin-Union Unit.
Shirley cited the 1967 Forest Fire Protection Act, signed by Governor Lester Maddox and put into effect July 1, as being instrumental in signing the two counties. He pointed out that the Act standardizes fire protection for all counties ond puts State support on the some bo sis for all counties. The Act enables all counties to receive State forest fire protection for four cents on acre of privately-owned forest land.
Shirley emphosi zed that a good forest protection program is in the

James C. Turner, Jr., chief, Forest Protection, states that the combining of the new counties brings the number of counties in combined units to 84. There ore 39 comb inations throughout the State.

Forest Protection Funds Allocated

Legislation has been passed by the House and Senate that will net Georgia an increase of $88,804 in Federal forest protection funds. This is the first increase in Federal funds since 1960.
The announcement was made jointly by Senators Richard Russell and Herman Talmadge who sponsored the increase in appropriations. The legislation was pushed for passage through the National Association of State Foresters, Georgi a Forestry Commission Director Ray Shirley, president.
Senator Russell pointed out that

Georgia's allotment was the largest of the 1.5 million dollars made available to all States. Each State's share was prorated on the basis of privately owned forest land, Russell added. The Georgia Forestry Cofnmi ssi on protects 24,066,400 State and privately owned forest acres. This is the Iargest forest area being protected by any State,
Shirley cited the appropriation as invaluable 1n meeting the rising costs of forest fire protection. The funds will be made available for the 1968 fi seal year beginning July l.
Cooperative Federal funds for Geor-

gia amounted to $539,337 in 1967. The increased appropriation wi II bring this figure to $609,204, Shirley stated.
Along with Senators Russell and Talmadge, Jack Flynt, Georgia's Sixth District Congressman, played a role in the approval of the increase worked out in the House-Senate Ap propriations Committee.
Georgia is indebted to the time and effort given by our Congressional delegation in the interest of forestry which is so vital to the State's economy.

Metro Forestry Services Intensified

initiated by the Georgia Forestry

Commission, announces Commission

Director Ray Shirley.

Shirley stated that the program is

FOREST EDUCATION EXPANDED <

TECHNICAL COURSE IN INITIAL PHASE

A two year pi lot course in "Forest Harvesting Technology" is being

to R. E. Bodenhamer, associate

State director, Vocational Area School Programs.

This is the first such course in

J THROUGH VOCATIONAL TRAINING

PILOT PROJECT
MEETS TEST
A pilot course, "Pulpwood Production and Forestry Engineering", has been made a part of the ace epted curriculum in high schools where it is desired, accord ing to J. G. Bryant, associate State director, Vocational Education, Atlanta.
The course was first incepted in the Spring of 1966. F ive teachers, under the direction of Dr. Robert Tolbert, teacher, T reining Deportment of Education, University of Georgia , drew up the program. It was put into operation in the 1966-67 schoo l year.
The five schools offering the pilot program and the teachers were Clinch County High School, Homerville, H. J. (Joe) Brooks; Berrien County High School, Nashville, H. W. Patten ; Effingham County High School, Springfield, I. B. Johnson; Calhoun High School, Calhoun, Ellis Hite; and Hogansville High School, Hogansville, V. R. Stephens.
The first year sow 56 graduating seniors complete the course. At Effingham County High School where 14 seniors graduated, three ore going to advanced schooling; four ore going into forestry or a related field; and f our are going into service.
As for evaluating the course at Effingham, Johnson pointed to the fact that 18 boys hod signed up for the course for the 1967-68 school year. J ohnson did emphasize that due to the wide variety of the course, the student was given a wider choice of careers . In addition, working outdoors and with machinery were added attractions for th e youths.
The students are taught how to keep business records, purchase raw material, market products and the facets of borrowing money. Instruction is given on the details of wage and hour law pro visions, workman's compensation, cost accounting and safety. The students work with diesel dnd gasoline engines. and hydraulic equipment learning about

made to study how records ore used in the handling of forest properties. A vi sit i s made through a pulp and paper mi ll where the students can see every step in the conversion of raw material into finished paper and and paperboard products.
Bryant sa id the program could not have been successful without the full cooperation of pulpwood handling equipment and truck dealers and the pulp and paper industry foresters. It was through them that material was prov ided and instruction given to enable the students to reap maximum benefits, Bryant added.
Bryant pointed out that before the course is taught the teacher received intensive tra ining in the Summer. The entire faculty and staff ore given a briefing on the course prior to the opening of school. This includes meeting with pulp and paper industry foresters, representatives of the Uni versity of Georgia Division of Vocati anal Education and the State Department of Vocational Agriculture.

RANGER OF THE QUARTER

The Montgomery-Wheeler- T reutl en
Forestry Unit encompasses 340,000
forest acres, The responsibility for its protection falls on the shoulders' of Ranger Ed Richardson.
Richardson has been with the
Georgia Forestry Commission for 14
years beginning as a tractor operator
in Montgomery County. In May, 1956,
he was promoted to ranger of the Telfair Unit, He was transferred back to Montgomery County in March,
1957, to head the Unit's activities.
His responsibilities have more than tripled since then with the addition of Wheeler and Treutlen Counties. The Unit has grown to its present size from one of approxi motel y
100,000 acres.
An excellent job has been done in forest fire protection this year. The Unit is averaging I ess than three acres loss per fire. However, a rash
of incendiary blazes, 42, have ac-
counted for approximately one-third of the acres burned. Through I andowner contacts and assistance from investigators this situation has been resolved.
Richardson states that the. construction of pre-suppression breaks have assisted them in keeping the

acreage I oss down. During the past
fiscal year, more then 335 miles of
firebreaks were plowed.
During the 1966-67 planting sea-
son, the three-county area saw the greatest planting of seedlings since
1958-59. Richardson said that the
1.5 million seedlings planted was primarily due to the Crop Adjustment
Program. There were some 6.1 mil lion seedlings planted in 1958-59.
There were 145 woodland owners
that took advantage of the Commi ssion' s forest management services, The cases, mostly Cooperative Forest Management and Agricultural Conservation Program, involved a-
bout 24,378 forest acr es. Working
the area is Billy L. James, assistant Fifth District Management forester.
There are two demonstration plots on improved seedlings located in Treutlen and Wheeler Counties. One is I ocated three miles north of Alamo on the Snowhill highway, The other is located two miles south of Adrian on U. S. 29.
Richardson annually works with the area V o-Ag teachers in pre senting talks to their classes. He also assists with work on the School For-
est and participates as a judge in

Ed Richardson
the local Forestry Field Day Program sponsored by Union Camp Corpporation.
This year, in addition to normal use of news media, a special Keep Green Edition was pub I i shed. This primarily informed the genera I pub I ic of services available to them through the Forestry Commission.
Other Unit personnel in Montgomery County are Patrolmen Bobby Joe Sharpe and Fred Conner and Towerwoman Mrs. Jackie Richardson. Personnel in Wheeler County are Patrolmen Cleo Rabun and Wi ley Kinchen, Assistant Patrolman Lamar Clark and T owerwoman Mrs. Nellie Leggett. Patrolmen Esra Hanson and G. W. Brady and T owerman Earl Stanfield are in T reut len County.

Seed To 5eeelllngs

a

A new pub Iicotion, "Seed to Seedlings '; has been released by the Georgia Forestry Comm ission, announced Comm ission Director Ray Shirley.
Shirley stated that the publication is a review of Georgia's Superior Tree Program which hod its inception
in 1954. In 1964, Georg ia become
the first State to make available improved loblolly and slosh p ine seed1ings on a commercial scale through
the production of 600,000 seed Iings. Through the 1966-67 planting season , approximately 10.3 mi llion improved
seedl ings hove been sold Georg ia landowners, Shirley sa id.
The pub Iicotion is divided into five sections. They ore Tree Sel ection, Seed Orchard Establishment, Seed Orchard Management, Progeny Test ing and What's Ahead. Shirley pointed out that the publ ication is a progressive report on what has, what is and what the future plans ore for

Georgia's Superior Tree Program. The 'Review' also contains tables on various phases of the programs.
Leaders in the initial undertak ing were Dr. Wi ll iam A. Campbell, laboratory ch ief, Forest Science Laboratory, Athens ; Ke ith W. Dorman , project leader, Southeastern Forest Experiment Station, Ashe vi lle, N.C. ; and Brat is Iov Zok , pothol og i st, Fo rest Science Laboratory, Corvallis, Ore.
Guyton Deloach , Forestry Com-
mission director , 1949-60 , mode the
dec ision to undertake the program and prov ided funds for its operation. Dr. Leon A. Hargreaves , professor of Forestry , Uni versity of Georgia School of Forestry, Athens, prov ided early gu idance to the program.
Shirley emphosi zed that the program results will prov ide better products for future generations and trees of high quality, known genetic origin that will insure maximum economic

returns, the program objective. If Georgia is to maintain her forestry relat ionship, she must continue to seek out the best trees produced by each generation, Shirley pointed out.
A copy of the pub Iicotion may be obtained by writing Sanford P. Darby, chief, Reforestation Division, Geor-
gia Forestry Commission , Box 1077, Macon , Georgia 31202.

A 54 percent incr eo se in tree seedling purchases for 1966-67 over 1965-66 high Iights the Georgia Forestry Comm i ssion's 1966-67 annual
seedling report. Ray Sh irley, Comm i ss ion director,
stated that increased purchases were primarily due to the innovation of the Crop Land Adjustment Program. Improved and regular slosh and loblolly pine ace ounted for the in ere a se. Soles of these species were approxi -
mately 23 mill ion over the prev ious
period. Shirley noted that the demand for
the improved stock was high with the
total production of 6,789, 100 Im-
proved slosh and loblolly pine seedlings being sold. In the first produc-
tion year, 1964-65, 600 ,000 of these trees were sold. In 1965-66, the figure rose to 2,897,600.
Sanford Darby, ch ief, Comm ission Reforestation Divi sion, said that
4,554 Georg ia landowners purchased 54,782,500 seedlings. The number
of landowners mak ing purchases increased two percent. The report
12

shows that private landowners bought
62.2 percent of the trees. Industry accounted for another 33.9 percent
of the stock. Darby added that Georgia land-
owners planted enough seed Iings to
est obi ish more than 100,000 forest
acres. Th is includes both Comm is-
s ion o ~d industry grown stock.

There were 54,782,500 tree seed/ ings purchased by 4,554 Georg ians in the 1966-67 plant
ing season.

Georgia Forestry Commission foresters and rangers hov e completed a one day Utilization Workshop, according to Paul Butts, Commission utili zotion specia l ist.
Butts stated that seven schools were held throughout Georgi a to acqua int personnel with the relationship between hardwood quality and the products produced. Butts pointed out that through such training personnel wi II be better able to spot problem areas and advise the utilization specialist. In this way, we con give better service to the grower through the oppl i coti on of known techniques.
T he need for utilization training is emphosi zed by the fact that hardwood-
pulpwood use doubled from 1960-65,
and the demand for hardwood I umber is expected to double by the year
2000. At the some time, the hardwood
proportion of round pulpwood is on
the increase from on 11 percent in 1940 to 26 percent in 1962 to on anticipated 40 percent in 2000.
At present, one-half of the hardwood output in the U. S. is harvested in the South, and one-third of the inventory is in the South.
Butts added that each year a school wi II be held on some phos.e
