This wood energy complex will provide steam heat, domestic hot water and chilled water cooling for base hospital, barracks,

administrative buildings and other facilities at Georgia's big army training center near Hinesville.

FORT STEWART FIRST ARMY INSTALLATION

TO CONVERT TO WASTE WOOD ENERGY SYSTEM

The first Waste Wood Burning System for the U . S. Department of The Army is expected to become operational at Fort Stewart in mid -October and save the Army millions of dollars.
Ken Snyder, Fort Stewart Mechanical Branch ch ief, said the $7.2 million boiler system is expected to pay for itself in four or five years.
"The savings will be tremendous," Sny der said. "One ton of waste wood, which will cost us $12 .18 per ton, will produce nine million BTUs. Without the wood burning system, we would have to burn $49 worth of o il to get the same result ."
Duri ng construction and design of the facility, Snyder said he received valuable information from the Georgia Forestry Commiss ion on their waste wood burning studies. The Comm issi on now has similar facilities at several sites in the state. Results from mon ito ri ng these Commissioninitiated fac ilities show highl y posit ive results .
Snyder agrees with these results. "From the standpoint of a renewable source of fuel, I believe this type of system is the coming thing for the future,"

he said . "The Army got into this ma inly because it wanted to use a renewable source of fuel."
The Savannah District of the A rmy Corps of Engineers designed and supervised construction of the new system; all design and operation must pass final inspection of the Corps . Corps officials said the new facility will be completely turned over to Fort Stewart personnel after t he final performance testi ng. A formal dedication ceremony for the new facility is planned for approximately 60 days after the plant becomes operational.
The p lant provides steam heat, domestic hot water and chilled water cooling to all newly constructed buildings including barracks, administrative bu ildings, motor pools, mess halls, chapels and the base hospital. Steam from the plant produces 385 degree water which is channeled through m i les of underground pipe lines. The actual steam never leaves the central plant.
The system has a conveyor capacity of 70 tons per hour to remove wood from trucks . Conveyor capac ity for feed ing wood to the boiler is 25 tons per hour. T he variance in these two conveyor sys-

tems enables the system to support another boiler in the future .
"If our growth continues as it is now, I feel certain we will add another boiler ," Snyder pointed out .
According to design specifications, a major positive factor of this system is cleanliness. Speciall y des igned "scrubbers" wash soot, ash , etc. from the air (exhaust) before it is released into the atmosphere. Snyder emphasized that this system of cleaning the air exceeds state environmental requirements, mak ing it much better than burning foss il fuel s.
Another plus factor of the system is safety and efficiency. The bo iler is com puter contr o lled. One man assigned to a control room will monitor the ope rati on with closed circuit television . If necessary, this single monitor can shut the boiler down.
Snyder said that dur in g f iscal year 83 Fort Stewart used more than three m illion gallons of fuel. An estimated 80 ,000 tons of waste wood is expected to be burned the f irst year the system is opera tional. As Snyder said, " The savings will be tremendous ."

GEORGIA'S NATIVE OAKS PLAGUED BY DISEASE

0

ak leaf blister disease, which can occur in all species of Georg ia's native oaks, has increased this year primarily as a result of in-

creased rainfall throughout the state_

Everything from backyard shade trees

to a hi stor ic Ogle thor pe Oak on St.

S imons Island ha s been infected, accord -

ing to Terry Price , Commission en tomol -

ogist. However , Price sai d the unsightly

disease is seldom fatal, and certain things

can be done to prevent it.

Although the infection can strike sin -

gle trees severely, it is not a threat in for-

est conditions because the disease is not

virulent enough to spread through whole

stands of trees. Usual ly, only three or

four oaks at the most are effected in a

stand of trees.

STREET TREES HIT

SOUTHERN RED OAK (Quercus falcata Michx.)

state has experienced in more than 20 years.
Preventive measures should begin in the sp ring just before the buds open. A recommended fungicide should be appli ed three ti mes : (1) Just before buds open, (2) When leaves are half grown, and (3) When leaves are 10 to 14 days old. Summer sprays are of no value in controlling the disease. It is generally not economical to spray lar ge trees unless they are of high specimen value .
A severe case of leaf blisters may result in the loss of numerous small branches. When this occurs , the first impression is often that there is no hope for recovery. However, the damage usually appears worse than it is and the tree can be saved with proper treatment.
For specific recommendations on fungicides and treatment of oak leaf blister disease, contact you r local forestry office.

"Leaf blister of oaks is probably the most conspicuous disease of street trees," Price said. "The tree may look like it is going to die, but in the majority of cases it will recover."
Infected trees develop yellowish-green leaf blisters and partially dead leaves. The blister-like distortions are caused by fungus invading the tissues. In cases of severe infections, the leaves may fall off prematurely . The disease is most prevalent during cool, wet springs.
Price emphasized that although the disease can attack any species of Georgia oak, it usually occurs in pointed-leaved species, such as the southern red oak and certain entire-leaved trees such as the water oak.
MANY CALLS RECEIVED
"Trees along the coast damaged by last year' s late frost appear to have been hit hardest by the disease," Price said. "But the Commi ssion headquarters in Macon has received calls from all over the state concerning the problem."
One diseased tree which has caused much concern is the historic Oglethorpe Oak on St. Simons Island . However, Price examined the oak and said it will recover and should live many more years . He recommends the sa me treatment for this tree as any other oak infected by the disease.
To control the disease, dead leaves that have fallen to the ground should be collected and destroyed. If the leaves are allowed to re main on the ground near the tree, rain can spatter the infectious spores

back on the tree; then only the slightest wind current is necessa ry to carry the microsco pic spores back to the leaves and cause the disease to recur.
WET CLIMATE BLAMED
Price points out that if the disease is allowed to recur before the leaves develop fully again, there is a possibility of varying degrees of damage, or even death. The infectious spores thrive in wet weather, but many of the spores die in dry weather. The current increase of the problem is mainly the result of the wettest year the

LESSER KNOWN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN TOLD

Oftentimes in forest management, its the lesser known programs which are among the most successful. This fact, according to Wildlife Technician Doug Watson, would certain ly apply to the U.S. Forest Service's on-going wildlife management program to increase the wood duck population in Georgia .
Watson, who works on the U .S. Forest Service 's Chattooga Ranger District in Clarkesv ille, "I feel the wood duck program has been very successful and I can see a definite increase in the number of ducks nesting in our selected areas since this program began se ven years ago."
According to Watson, "The wood duck has very specific habitat re quire ments . They live in dense woody areas ne ar good water so urces such as beaver

ponds or marshes, and nest in decaying tree cav1t1es ranging anyw he re from five to 70 feet above the ground." Re cent river bottomland and swamp drainage for agriculture and river damming for navigation, flood control, power, and other purposes has destroyed thousands of acres of wooded bottomland attractive to wood ducks, he pointed out.
The Forest Serv ice constructs nesting boxes for the ducks and places them on poles or tree snags in or near the water .
Wood duck boxes are made of wood or plastic and are b uiIt to protect the ducks from wind, rain, heat, and predators (which include snakes, raccoons, and opossums) . The boxes are then placed on poles or tree snags .

NEW DIRECTORY LISTS 1520 FOREST RELATED INDUSTRIES IN GEORGIA.

Wood Using Industries in Georgia, a 1984 directory and re port of timber utilization during the previous year, has been completed and is being distributed though offices of the Commission .
Paul Butts, Commission Utilization Forester who prepared the 105 -page publication, said the directory portion serves as a marketing aid for Georgia grown or manufactured forest products, while the report section is designed to show trends in timber production and
use. He said the publication, which is
based on a statewide survey , is compiled at three year intervals.
Primary industries , such as sawmills , are those which use round timber as raw material, and 635 Iistings are in this section. Secondary industries, such as furniture plants, use lumber and other partially manufactured material as furnished . Listings in the secondary processors section total 885.
The directory also includes 16 pulp mills, which process wood, and 10 which process waste paper or dried pulp.
Primary processors are listed by county, plant type, facilities, employment class, species used, and major products. Secondary plants are listed by type, county, employment class, and major products.
The uti Iization report shows that round timber use in 1983, excluding

pulpwood, firewood, and fence posts, totaled 2 .9 billion board feet for a 19 percent increase over 1980.
Thirty -two percent was processed in the southeastern part of the state, 14 percent in the southwestern, 36 percent in the central, 11 percent in the north central, and 7 percent in the northern section. Pine species accounted for 86 percent of the total use, which is an increase from 70 percent pine in 1964.
The report reveals that 210 sawmills processed 82 pe rcent of round timber, 18 veneer and plywood plants manufactured 14 percent, 22 primary treaters used 2 percent, and 22 other timber

processors used two percent. Timber processed has increased by an average annual rate of 6 percent over the past 19 years , while pine timbe r use has in creased at more than 8 percent.
Includ ing pulp mill s, 93 percent of all
bark, 72 percent of sawdust -shavings, and 9 percent of ch ippable residue wa s used for industrial fu e l. Eighty -five pe rcent of chippable material was used for pulp .
Secondary processors include 64 box and pallet, 495 cabinet and millwork, 48 mobile home -camper prefab, 13 picture frame, 30 independent planer , 49 treating, and 132 furniture plants and shops .

Fro giant pulp a1d paper mills and high production sawmills, to small pallet plants and picture frame shops, hundreds of enterprises across the state depe1d on Georgia's ab1ndant forests for existence.

POISON IVY

always produce a rash. The plant must be crushed enough to release the poison, but even an insect chewing on it can accomplish this.
The actual poisonous matter in poison ivy is a sticky substance called urushiol. This long-lived poison sticks to anything it touches: tools, clothes, door handles anything. In one experiment, a contaminated glove was put away for ten months, then washed with hot water and soap, and ironed. The glove still caused dermatitis among volunteers who handled it.
SAP LINGERS

POISON OAK POISON SUMAC

Other experiments show the poisonous sap remains virulent for at least 18 months after the plant has been cut and dried.
About half the population is immune to poison ivy. However, some authorities say everyone is born immune, but the immunity is broken down by repeated contact. For individuals extremely sensitive to poison ivy, immunotherapy has proven effective in many cases; immunotherapy is small injections of urushiol given at intervals in early spring.
A popular myth about immunity concerns eating poison ivy. Some people claim that eating small amounts of the plant in early spring will create immunity. Don't try it. All this is likely to accomplish is give the consumer an internal rash in the mouth, throat and stomach. Anyone eating poison ivy and suffering no ill effects has probably not yet developed a sensitivity to it.

RAINS BRING POISON THREAT

Going to the woods for any reason this year can be hazardous to your skin. The Georgia Forestry Commission warns that poison ivy cases have reached epidemic proportions in the state.
Georgia's rainiest season in more than 20 years is the main reason the abundant plant has become even more prolific.
Poison ivy can grow almost anywhere wet woods, dry woods, paths, roadways, fence rows, hillsides, level ground, up the sides of houses and even manicured lawns.
In spite of this year's tremendous in crease in the poisonous plant, it can be avoided. The Commission recommends the best way to escape poison ivy is to recognize and avoid touching it. But this may be difficult; the poisonous plant is a master of disguises. Many plants are mistaken for poison ivy and vice versa.
DESCRIPTION MISLEADING
The characteristic "three leaflet" description of poison ivy may be misleading because the leaf edges may be smooth, jagged or lobed. Sizes range from tiny sprigs to erect shrubs. Poison ivy also ap-
~

pears in rope-like vine form, often more than two inches in diameter, that climbs to the tops of tall trees. The adaptable plant can attach to and climb almost any surface.
The Commission recommends that the best way for the average person to identify the plant is to have someone who knows identify it for them in its various forms. Children, especially, should be taught to recognize the plant and become poison-ivy-conscious.
Although recognizing and not touching the plant will prevent most poison ivy cases, there are other ways the rash can be caused.
MANY MYTHS
Myths about poison ivy are numerous. Some people believe they can catch poison ivy by just looking at it; this is not possible. But it is a fact that smoke from a burning plant can produce a severe rash anywhere the smoke touches the skin. Any plant debris to be burned - especially in a home fireplace- should be identified.
Direct contact with the plant does not

SOME VALUE RECOGNIZED
In spite of poison ivy's bad reputation, nature has given it value in the scheme of ecology; it serves as a food for numerous animals. Deer browse on the plant during winter, and its fruit (waxy-white berries present from August through November) is eaten by quail, pheasants, turkeys, grouse, woodducks, squirrels and many songbirds.
Poison ivy also has two unpleasant relatives: poison oak and poison sumac. Both have the same poisoning agent as poison ivy- the sticky urushiol. However, both of these relatives are more easily identified than poison ivy.
Poison oak occurs as a low growing shrub and usually does not climb as a vine. Leaflets are in threes, but are lobed somewhat similar to an oak leaf. The size of leaves vary in size, even on the same plant.
Poison sumac grows as a woody shrub or small tree and never in the vine form. It usually grows in swamps or bogs to a height of five or six feet, but can reach 25 feet. Leaflets range from seven to thirteen and are arranged in pairs with a single leaflet at the end of the rib.

FIREWOOD USERS ARE CAUTIONED

NOT TO BURN TREATED MATERIALS

Now that another heat ing season is approaching, the Georgia Forestry Commission is warning residents of the danger of heating with wood fuel that has been treated with certain preservatives.
A mysterious array of ailments afflicting a Wisconsin family prompted a uni versity medical study which revealed that burning any wood treated with the preservative chromated copper arsenated (CCA) produces extremely poisonous smoke, fumes and ashes.
The family, that had been burning scrap plywood and lumber in their kitchen stove fo r three years, began t o lose hair and have res piratory problems. Other symptoms suffered by all eight family members included rashes, muscle cramps, diarrhea, headaches, earaches, burn ing eyes and tingling in the fingers.
Un iversity of Wisconsin medical re searchers found the entire family and everyth in g in the house to be contaminated with arsenic, which was traced to the CCA preservative . Med ical staff reports stated that CCA conta ins arsenic, copper and chromium; all three elements are toxic.
Dr . Henry Peters, a Un iversity of Wiscons in professor of neurology, emphasized that poisoning from CCA could become a serious problem because of the increasing number of people using wood burning stoves.
According to state statistics, more than one third of all Georg ia homes
Geor!lia Forestrv/Seotember 1984

now burn firewood. The Comm ission urges that you not burn any firewood unless you are certain about the type and source.
CCA-treated wood usually has a greenish or brownish tint, but again, if you are not certain - do not burn it. The wood-treating industry is aware of the hazard and cautions against the use of CCA-treated wood as a fuel.
GEORGIA CHAPTER CITED
The Georgia Chapte r of the Soil Con servation Society of America was presented the Hornaday Conservation Education Award at the Society's recent annual convention in Oklahoma Cit y .
Only one chapter is ci te d each year and the award is given for chapters that conduct successful conservation projects involving young people or teachers and other adults.
Georgia was honored for conducting the annual Natural Resources Conserva tion Workshop held at Abraham Baldwin Agr icultural Coll ege at T ifton. It was
po inted out that more than 5,000 stu-
dents have attended the workshop since 1942.
Forester Chuck Place of the Commission's Educat ion Depa rtme nt has been instrumental in directing classes that pretain to forestry at the annual workshops and several other GFC foresters have been involved in the training.

SITE PREPARATION
THE ALTERNATIVES THE HIGH COST OF NEGLECT

Preparation for replanting a forest, one of the largest expenses in forest manage ment, has been greatly reduced in cost by harvesting whole trees and leaving the site clean for replanting. The process is called "site prep."
Dru id Preston , chief of the Georgia Forestry Commission's Management Department, said the absence of proper forest management techniques usually means that more complex site prep will be required ; and more complex site prep means higher cost. He explained that different forms of harvesting create different problems for reforestation and site preparation.
For instance, harvesting operations leav ing high stumps and big tops require more effort to prepare for replanting, while operations leaving large diameter stems and cull trees require more effort to clean up.

"The point is both of these harvesting situations create higher site prep costs," Preston pointed out. "More effort creates more cost."
WHOL E TREE METH OD
However, when the tree is cut at ground level and the whole tree used (as in whole tree harvesting), the debris problem is almost entirely eliminated and reforestation is re latively easy. The result: site preparation costs are kept at a minimum.
Site preparation methods are classified from light to heavy. Light preparation costs are minimal. Heavy preparation costs are expensive
The least expensive method of site prep is prescribed burning. This method actually reduces or completely eliminates site prep costs.

Prescr ibed burning is frequently used when reforestation is accomplished by natural regeneration. Georgia Forestry Commission studies show that very little site preparation is ever required when natural regeneration occurs in connection with proper burning. Burning prepares the seed bed and controls undesirable vegetation.
NATURAL REGENERATION
In the natural regeneration method, burning is sometimes done prior to the last sale of timber on a tract; cull hardwoods may also be deadened at this time. Hardwood control should be done in advance of harvesting by mechanical girdling or herbicide injections. All suitable hardwoods are left to be sold with the pine.
Light site preparation methods include drum chopping and scarification. These

_ Georgia Forestry/September 1984

methods are very effective if used properly in conjunction with certain harvesting situations. Drum chopping is often fol lowed by a burn to complete the site preparation. A benefit of scarification is that the site is prepared and seeds planted in a single operation.
When more complex situations result from harvesting, heavy site preparation methods using heavier machinery is required. These methods include root raking, shearing, windrowing, disking, and
bedding.

WINDROW ADVANTAGE
Preston stressed that when any form of mechanical site preparation is used, soil disturbance should be minimized to reduce soil erosion. Windrows should not be pushed against the timberline; they should have frequent breaks for access of firefighting equipment. An undisturbed area should be left along streams as a habitat for wildlife and to protect water quality.
Bedding is another special treatment frequently used in conjunction with other methods. In bedding, the soil is arranged in elevated ridges or beds to promote drainage and aeration . Bedding promotes rapid root development is often essential in soils with high water tables.
The use of chemicals for site preparation is another method. Preston pointed out that chemical site prep is not classifi ed as light or heavy. " It's entirely sepa rate," he said. " And cost can range from low to high, depending on which chemi cals are used and the condition of the site site."

RISKS ARE INVOLVED

Landowne rs should be aware that although broadcast application of herbi cides are effective , the process is not without risks. Clear designation of the areas to be treated is necessa ry . Protected areas, such as those along streams, must also be designated . Fences are not reliable markers. " Save trees" must also be marked before injections start.
It should be noted that restrictions have been established concerning the use of broadcast herbicides on federal lands. Some herb icides are highly toxic and ex pert advice should be re ceived before using them.
Preston said that Georgia law requires a pesticide applicator's license to apply restricted use pesticides . Herbicides used in chemical site preparation are scientifically classified as pesticides .
" In spite of certain risks," Preston said, "chemical site prep is the upcoming thing because it has definite advantages." He said a major advantage is that chemical site preparation does not create soil erosion problems. Most of the chemicals used are biodegradable; they break down in the soil and are rendered harmless.

The Bracke Scarifier, on opposite page, prepares the soil and plants forest tree seed as it moves across a field. It is one alternate to setting out seedlings. In the top picture, a feller buncher is used to carry out a whole tree harvesting operation, thus leaving the area prepared for replanting and saving the landowner the expense of site preparation. Land in the above photo is typical of erosion damage that occurs when forests on this type terrain are not replanted.

When no form of site preparation is used, many tracts become choked with thick, undesirable vegetation. The small landowner is usually hardest hit by this lack of planning because he must pay a high price for future planting. The expense stems from the contractor's fixed high cost of moving equ ipment and crews
to the site. However, there are cost share programs, such as the federal Forestry Incentive Program (F IPl. that offer financial assistance to landowners.

Pre ston emphas ized that site prepa rat ion methods are frequently used in var ious comb inations for most effect ive re sults.
"Above all," Preston stressed, "landowners should seek the advice of professional foresters to prescribe the correct type of site preparation best -su ited to in dividual needs." He added that the Geor gia Forestry Comm ission is staffed to p rovide complete information on all site preparation needs.

Harvest time is near at the Commission's four tree nurseries.

FOR SALE: 125 MILLION YOUNG, VIGOROUS TREES

How do you sell 125 million little trees? That's a merchandising problem now facing the Georgia Forestry Commission, but the solution is in sight. The Commission last year conducted a successful county -b y -county reforestation campaign and as a result, more than 370,400 acres of Georgia land were planted in forest trees to set a new record. Director John Mixon has vowed that "we're not slowing down," and said he expects a renewal of last season's campaign will "help us sustain the momentum we have built." Under leadership of Commission foresters and rangers, committees are being formed in practically every county in the state to again encourage landowners to plant marg inal lands, unproductive row crop acreage and other idle areas in trees. Serving on the committees with Commission personnel are representatives of the U. S. Forest Service, Georgia Farm Bureau Federation, Extension Service, Soil Conservation Service, consultant foresters, forest industries, landowners and others. Mixon pointed out that "it is extremely important that we begin now, in this decade, to accelerate reforestation to meet the future demand for raw materials ...our pulp and paper mills, our many lumber mi lis and other forest-related ind ustr ies in the state must depend on an ever expanding supply base to maintain high level production." The Comm ission is working closely with the Soil Conservat ion Service and the Agricultural Stabil izatio;-, Service to ide ntify marginal and sub-marginal lands around the state. Comm ittee members are following up on this data by visiting land-

owners and showing them the profits that can be expected by converting idle acreage into forests .
When landowners agree to plant trees,

technical assistance in site preparation, planting procedures and other aspects of forestation or reforestation are provided. If government payment programs are in-

volved, assistance is also provided the landowner by Commission personnel .
The promotion also involves landown ers who have harvested timber, but have failed to reforest their land. They are encouraged to get their land back into trees by planting seedlings or, in some cases, allowing re-seeding by the natural regeneration process .
Although the 125 million seedlings now being grown in the state's three nurseries will be the largest crop in several years , Johnny Branan , Chief of the Commission's Reforestation Department, said the inventory probably wi II be depleted before the planting season ends next March. He emphasized that orders are now being accepted and they will be filled on a "first come, first served" basis when tree lifting and shipping begins in November.
Meantime, Dru id Preston, Forest Man agement Chief, estimated that at least two million acres of marginal and submarginal lands still exist in Georgia and "we have just scratched the surface in turning our idle acreage into productive forests."
He pointed out that trees are not only profitable as timber, but also prevent erosion and help retain top soil. "Trees," Preston said, "provide a permanent cover, and that's what we need in many areas of our state."
Further information concerning the current reforestation campaign and litera ture dealing with planting, managing and harvesting trees, is available at all Georgia Fo restry Commission offices across the state .

SHIRLEY NURSERY DEDICATED

The Georgia Forestry Commission's newest tree nursery. a modern 257 -acre complex near Reidsville, has been offi cially named the Shirley Nursery in honor of A. Ray Shirley, former director of the Commission.
John Mixon, who became Commission director upon the retirement of Shirley in January, 1983, and the agency's board of commissioners, led a delegation of Commission employees and representatives of other agencies and forest industries in paying tribute to the former director during a dedication ceremony at the nursery site.
Jim L. Gillis , Jr., chairman of the board , told the gathering that "Ray Shirley has a record of forestry leadership for 23 years as head of the Commission ... he was a leader and a promoter." Gillis noted that the nursery named in his honor "will be here a long time after we have gone."
Mixon praised Shirley for his foresight in planning the nursery and told of substantial savings to Georgia taxpayers by having Commission personnel do most of the construction work on the huge facility.
In response to several other tributes expressed by board members, Sh irley told of the ground work carried out to get financing for the nursery and the many state leaders who gave support to the needed expansion of the Commission's tree nursery program .
Although Shirley declared he didn't deserve the honor, he said he wa s pleased to "see my name associated with something living."
Living trees have already turned a por-

tion of the big nursery into a carpet of greenery. The Sh ir ley Nursery is capable of producing 165,000,000 seedlings an nually when all acreage is planted . It is presently producing 40,000,000 trees for the forthcoming planting season .
Construction on the new Shirley N ursery. destined to be one of the largest forest tree nurseries in the nation when fully operational, was begun in 1982.
Shirley is credited with leadershi p in research in the state's seed orchards and nurseries which led to genetically improved trees as early as 1964. The superior

ENTERED INTO HALL FOREST LANDOWNERS

Jerome L . Clutter has been posthumously named to t he Georgia Foresters Hall of Fame .
Th e high honor came at the recent annual meeting of the Georgia Chapter, Society of American Fo resters.
Clutter, professor of Fo rest Biometrics at the School of Forest Resources, Un iversity of Georgia, died Nov . 21, 1983, at age 49 .
Writing in the April issue of the Journal of Forestry, James Bethune, Connecticut, pointed out that Clutter "provided much of the methodology that makes mod ern, quantitatively based techniques an integral part of pre se nt-day forestry. H is variabl e-dens ity y ie ld tables were a quantum jump from former, percent-ofnormal -stock ing based method s. Diameter distribution yield tables, which he concei ved and developed, greatly increased management's deci sion-making abilit ies."
Computer simulations and optimiza tion techniqu es developed by Clutter and hi s associates are said to be now in use on more than two million acres of managed fore st s in No rth America , Au stralia and New Zealand .

THREE ARE AWARDED FOR QUICK ACTION IN AIDING CO-WORKER

Three Dekalb County employees of the Georgia Forestry Comm ission re ceived Commendation Awards recently for aiding a coworker during an accident at the Stone Mountain office.
Patrolmen Walter Koch was repairing a commission vehicle when the battery exploded, spewing acid into his eyes. Patrolman Randy Sockwell and Wade Skinner, and Forester Ch ris Barneycastle immediately administered first aid by washing his eyes with water and apply ing eye irrigating solution. They then took him to a local physician , who credited their quick actions with preventing serious damage to Koch's eyes.
Commission Director John Mixon signed the certificates of commendation and wrote to each of the employees in appreciation of h is quick response to the incident. Robe rt Lazenby, Fi eld Supervisor for North Georgia, presented Sockwell, Sk inner and Barneycastle with t he awards .
* POISON THREAT ANNOUNCED
(Continued from Page 6)
Urushiol poisoning from any of these plants may produce symptoms in a few hours or seven days or more. Itching water blisters are the first sign. Severe infections may res ult in abscesses, enlarged glands, fever, and other camp Iications.
Washing with alkali soap and water within a half hour of contact may prevent a rash. Cloth ing and other articles that may have made contact should also be washed .
Prevention can eliminate the need for a cure. It is im portan t to eliminate poison ivy and related plants from around homes , school yards and similar areas . Since burning spreads the poison, plants should be buried or taken to the landfill in plastic bags . Pulling or mowing will not control the plant because roots re sprout. However, a herbicide properly used in June or July can control poison ivy and its poisonous relatives.
* CONFERENCE SLATED
The 44th annual Southern Forestry Conference , sponsored by Forest Farme rs Association, will be held May 29-31. 1985.
Association officials sa id the announcement is being made early in order for members to mark their calendars for this annual event.
