M a naged Forests Mean Profits

( From tile Thomas vi ll e Times Ente rprise)

This section o f Georgi a and Florida i s righ t now in t he mi dst of a mi ghty reviva l of i n teres t in reforesta tion and in the s ale of the products from the forest lands on the basis of an annual re t urn . We h ave remarked as many times as pos s ible that the values of our lands are mea s ured by the c are given to them, to prevent e rosion , t o reforest and to make pastures and put cattle thereon. This i s a three-way program but the most useful now is the timber production and pulp wood.
Many articles are appearing these days which give the returns from well managed lands in wood a nd in pastures. They come from many sources but it is more applicable here than in most other sections, because of the production possibilities of our lands.

The gove rnment i s now using the t imber from some of its forest ho ldings for commerc i al sale, because of t he fact that it can and will under government control become producing over a long period and with an increasing value each year that it is operated.
The private lands that are in timber can be farmed more profitably to the individual than can the government holdings. Every man that has a forest is wasting his time and his money if he is not tilling that resource and at the same time using scientific methods to reforest. This is so simple and easy and also so inexpensive, commensurate with the returns, that it seems to be arrant folly to neglect this chance. There is a market available at any time.

Illegal Burning
Of Forestland
Judged Felony
(From t ue Sylvania Telepnor.e)
People who burn illegally should be arrested.
That is whatGeorgia law enforcement officers are doing.
Last week a Screven County man was arrested for setting fire to another's woods. A felony case was rrade against him. His arrest followed an investigationofwildf ire made by State Fares try Commission investigators, State Patrolmen, and County Policemen.
They used airplanes and dogs to locate the person responsible for the fires. If the person charged is found guilty the courts should give him the rraximum penalty. That is one way to stop illegal burning of woods.
People have a warped attitude about setting fire to woods. A
person who would he horrified if
anyone suggested that he strike a match and set fire to your home, thinks nothing of going into your woodland and setting fire to your trees.
Days of abundant fares t products are gone. Ifyoudon't believe this, buy a piece of lumber today. After you pay the bill you will have a lot more respect for the value of a pine tree.
WOODLAND QUEENS REIGN - Two of Georgia's loveliest 1952 forest queens reign over their 25 million acre domain. Lovely Miss Maurice Martin, of Swainsboro, Emanuel County Pine Tree Queen, (top right), was crwned at the recent festival. Vivacious Miss Sara Bolin, columbus IJeauty, rules today as Dixie's Gum Turpentine Queen.

Irwin County will begin operation of a County Forestry Unit July l, Guyton DeLoach, Director, Georgia Forestry Commission, announced this rronth.
Signing of the 1952-'53 budget by Irwin County Commissioners brings to a total of eight the number of counties which will inaugurate forest protection services in July. Ten more counties are expected to join these eight be fore the beginning of the new fiscal year.
Equipment used by the Unit will include a crawler tractor with fire fighting equipment, and a jeep with plow and equipnent. Two-way FM radios will provide <;:ommunication between County Forestry Unit headquarters, vehicles, and towers.
Heading activities of the new unit will he a County Forester. The Georgia Forestry Commission will purchase and erect two forest fire lookout towers.
Rep. Marion Green, Eighth District Forester George Lavinder, and Fifth District Forester Miles Koger submitted the budget to the
Irwin commissioners .

Thirty-six of the state's 105 County Forestry Units have received official commendation for keeping their forestland loss from wildfire to less than one fourth of one per cent of the total woodland area under their jurisdiction.
Guyton DeLoach, f.1.rector. Georgia ForestryCommisston, this month announced names f the 36 units and of the Fore ~ ters and Rangers who head them.
Units which bec a ne eligible for the ' 'Less Than One Fourth of Ole Per Cent Club,'' their Rangers and Foresters, and the percentage of forestland loss for the period July l, 1951, through April 1, 1952, include the following:
Talbot, H. S . Hollaway ....... 233% Glynn, C. P. Betts .......... 221% Bulloch, J. W. Roberts ...... 221% Charlton, L. J. Stokes..... . 220% Montgomery, J. G. Adams. . . . . 218% Coffee-Atkinson, James W. Lanier ..

''Full significance of the fine record these men have set," he declared, ''can be realized from the fact that thi~ year we abandoned our previous 'One Half of One Per Cent' citation for our forestry units.''
'Ihe Commission Director explained that last year the com~ndations were given to County Forestry Units which had kept their loss from wildfire to less than one half of one per cent of the total woodland area under their jurisdiction.

FOREST FLAMES ILLUMINE NIGHT SKIES - Despite excellent records made by many County Forestry Units in reducing forest fire loss ti1is season, thousands ot acres of Georgia timberland are wantonly destroyed through man's carelessness each year. Much of this acreage loss is recorded in
unprotected counties by such wildfires as tile one portrayeti at the right. As more and more counties initiate Forestry Units
the loss in woods fires wi 11 be continually decreased.

Members from 13 states met to
discuss forestry problems and elect new officers. Officers chosen for the coming year are: J. R. Bemis, Prescott. Arkansas, President; Tom DeWeese, Philadelphia, M1ssi ssipp1, hrst V1cePresident; and R. D. Crowell, Jr., Long Leaf, Louisiana, Second Vice-President. Those re-elected were M. L. Fleishel, Port St. Joe, Florida, Tr~asu~er; and H. C. Berckes, New Orleans, Secretary.
E. 0. Lightsey, retiring President, opened the SPA convention with a talk tracing the progress of the association from its beginnings.
Sumrrang up the varied services
of the Association, Mr. Lightsey

challenged, ''You can be strong in all fields of endeavor and weak in only one . . and it will be that one that causes the public to over look completely the good of the others. It is only a healthy core that breeds the solidity on the outside.
''A checkbook isn't the answer,'' he concluded. ''You can't buy that thing called public opinion. It has to be won, and it can be if you as individuals and as an industry really want it that way.''
One of the outstanding
speakers on the first day's schedule was Dr. Wilson Compton, recently appointed administrator of the U. S. International Information Administration, Washing-
ton, D. C. Dr. COOJ>ton spoke
primarily on the activities of his public relations agency, a branch of the State Department. He told the Southern Pine manufacturers about the tools used

Georgia was one of the leading states in the eastern part of the UnitedStates in lumber production
for the end of 1951, according to'
the figures released by the U. S. Departrrent of Corrmerce. Florida was first in the tabulation, with
1,475, 472, 000 board feet, while Alabama followed with 1,198,217, 000 feet.
Total production for the three outstanding Southern states was
reported 3,398,457,000 board
feet at the end of three quarters of last year. Of this total fig-
ure, Georgia contributed 724,768, 000 feet.
The rest of the Southern portion of the nation produced a
total of 9,962,449,000 board
feet. The Southern states thus
formed 69 per cent of the total
lumber production for the eastern
half of the United States and 35
per cent of the entire country's output.

SALUTE TO FIREFIGHTER FILM- The importance of Georgia's forests and the work of her forest fire fighters isbeingbrought to citizens of the state through colorful and vivid displays by the Georgia Forestry Commission Rangers and Foresters in theatre lobbies across the state wherever ''Red Skies of Montana'' is being shown. Ranger Ernest Edwards, of the r.hatham County Forestry Unit, and personnel of
\

the First District headquarters arranged this exhibit at the Avon Theatre in savannah. The film deals with men who parachute from airplanes to battle forest fires. Even persons not attending saw the equipment, (lower left), used to fight wildfire in their county. Hundreds more persons stopped in the lobby, (lower right), to view activities of the Commission portrayed on the selectroslide.

Patients at the Milledgeville State Hospital today are receiving valuable mental rehabilitation from creative work provided in the sawmill and wood-working shops. In addition this occupational therapy work provides all necessary wood materials for use in the extensive construction and maintenance program for the institution's 11,000 patients and 1, 600 enployes.
The sawmill, with the exception of the sawyer, is entirely operated by the patients. Logs for the operation are obtained from the
15,000 acres oi farm and timber
lands surrounding the hospital grounds. The Medical Department of the occupational therapy program assigned approximately 100
patients as assistants' to the skilled mechanics employed in the woodworking shops.

Georgia gum turpentine producers may soon have another use for their product, according to U. S. Department of Agriculture reports. Prospects for this new development are so great that Judge Harley Langdale, president of the American Turpentine Farmers Association, calls it ''the most encouraging news the industry has received in a long while. ' '
Research by government agencies has established the fact that certain chemicals, found in turpentine and called terpene hydroperoxides, may be used as catalytic agents to aid in the production of synthetic rubber, plastics, and other products.
At present benzine is used in the production of' 'cold rubber' ', a synthetic of exceptionally high quality which is processed at low temperatures. However, there is a very low supply of this chemical, and the use of the turpentine chemicals would lessen the shortage.
''For some time now,'' Judge Langdale said, ''I have been receiving confidential and encouraging reports on this research. I have been hesitant to release anything on it because I was not sure just how far the program had gone. I didn't want to build up the hopes of the producers if the research was not going to prove practical.

Set For June 16-21

Final plans for the annual FFA Boys Forestry Camp, sponsored annually by the five Georgia member mills of the Southern Pulpwood Conservation Association and directed by the Georgia Forestry Comrrrrssion, were announced this month.
Sponsoring member firms of the Southern Pulpwood Conservation Association are Union Bag and Paper Corporation, Savannah; Macon Kraft Company, Macon; Brunswick Pulp and Paper Company, Brunswick; Gair Woodlands Corporation, Brunswick, and St. Mary's Kraft Corporation, St. Mary's. These firms pay all expenses except transportation.
More than 70 forestry-minded Future Farmers of America will attend the camp, set for June 16-21 at Camp Rutledge, Hard Labor Creek State Park.
Instructors will include J. f.
Spiers, Fares ter, Central of Georgia Railroad; Howard J. Doyle, Area Fares ter, Southern Pulpwood Conservation Association; H. E. Ruark, Assistant Director, Georgia Fares try Corrmission; Harry Rossoll, Vi sua 1 Information Specialist, U. S. Forest

REFORESTATION LESSON - Those attending the 1952 Boy's Forestry camp will learn, as did these boys who attended a session held in an earlier year, the simple but highly important steps of hand and machine planting of pine seedlings.

YOUTHFUL FIREFIGH'IERS - Typical of activities which will take place at the 1952 Boys' Forestry Camp is this scene at an earlier camp as boys, armed with l.Jack pumps, learn first-hand some of the many phases of fighting wildfire.

"1he AT-FA and I personally are keeping close contact with these research programs. We will do everything possible to cooperate and to better market situations for the producer-members. I feel that this is the dawn of a new day for the gum turpentine industry.
''As soon as full details are available for release, the AT-FA will bring producers up to date on all developments.''

Martin, with the assistance of Patrolman H. A. Shelton, demonstrated the effectiveness of a fire-iightirig jeep in wildfire suppress1on. A tree identification field trip was canceled because of bad weather.
Polk County Ranger James J. Carter received an enthusiastic acknowledgement of his forestry unit's fire fighting activities in the follcming letter from a Cedartown City Court judge:
' 'May I take this means of expressing my sincere appreciation to you and your organization for the most efficient manner in which you prevented the destruction of my cabin at Hightower Mountain recently. I had hoped to see you before ncm and tell you of my appreciation in person, hut our separate fields of endeavor have kept us separated with you spending most of your time in the woods . .
''The close call that my property had as a result of the recent fires has emphasized the value of the type of work that your organization is doing and I have no hesitancy in saying that but for your immediate and efficient action in the Hightower Mountain section on this particular occasion, there would have been a large loss of property and great damage to the natural resources there.''
' 'If ever I can be of service to you or the personnel of your organization, please feel free to call upon me.''

''Using that percentage figure as a basis,'' he said, ''we found that only 16 units had qualified for the honor, and Rangers whose units had qualified were known as members of the 'One Half of One Per Cent' club. This season, however, our 105 County Fares ters and Rangers did such an excel'lent job of keeping down wildfire that nearly 70 Units would have been qualified under the old percentage. computation.''
Wanting this commendation to remain a select one, the Director cut the figure down to one fourth of one per cent.
The Director cited the fact that more motion pictures dealing with forestry, more newspaper articles on the topic, more woodland demonstrations, more exhibits, and more forestry radio programs had been recorded during this fire season than at any time in the Conmission' s his tory.
