Forestry Center Boosts Resources

(From the Atl an ta Journal)

Georgia wi l l dedi ca t e a center on Monday whic h h as a s its ma in purpose t h e e nr ic hme nt of our already highly producti ve for est resour ces. The n ew Ge or gi a For estry Center now in operation a t Ma c on will se rve to f ill a g ap that has existed for many years in forest rese arch activities.
The Center is the result of a new, and wholesome approach to the over-all advancement of forestry in Georgia.

mation i s tangible evidence of the wi s dom of the legislation passed by the General Assembly last fall.
The Georgian who feels he has ooly a passing interest in his state's trees and forests will probably find his interest quickened as new ideas, facts and figures on trees are uncovered by the researchers working under the guidance of the new Center at Macon.

Such organizations as the GeorgiR Forestry Council, the U.S. Forest Service, private industry and the Georgia Forestry Commission can claim deserving credit for the Center. The Georgia legislature also rates applause for having passed the ac t which established the Georgia Research Council.

The layman, with hi s interest aroused, will probably look into the story of forests in Georgia. This investigation will s how him that forests can be counted amon g his state's most valuable resources. He will discover that trees- - pine, oak, hickory, ash, popular, sweet gum, and othe rs- - are the sources on one of Georgia's most productive, and economically fruitful indu s tries. It has an annual inc ome e s timated at $750,000,000.

(From the Savannah News)
There is nothing we think 1n this Southland of ours which 1s quite so certain a guarantee of the future prosperity as the planting of our idle acres to a pine tree crop. Per dollar of investment there is probably nothing that yields so handsome a return, or so insures a plentiful supply of raw material for future industrial growth.
We are happy to note in this respect that Georgia's record is second to none. Of 180-odd million seedlings \\hich the Southern pulp and paper industry alone was responsible for planting last year, over 42 million were planted in Georgia. 1his means, in round figures, that something like 42,000 acres of our idl e land wa s put to productive u s e.
That s uch an accomplishment should be of benefit to our landowners is reason enough for the program. But it is much more than th at, for it is not only the own er of the land who benefits. Timber and pulpwood income reacts ultimately to the benefit of all of us.
Much of Georgia's forest industrywith its attendant jobs, payrolls and commerce-- finds its most vi tal component, a continuing supply of raw materials, in the myriad rows of seedlings that stretch across the landscape of the state's forest tree nurseries.
Here in the four Forestry Commission nurseries begin many of our mature forests - trees which will turn the wheels of industry. Many stands originally planted with seedlings from the state's nurseries today are producing valuable pulpwood, lumber, naval stores and other materials. Future forests springing from to:lay' s seedlings will greatly enrich our already highb productive forest resource.

Two Counties
Establish New
Forestry Units
Addition of two more counties to the 135 already opera ting organized County Forestry Units in cooperation with the Georgia Forestry Commission was announced this month.
One county, Hancock, joined Coomission forces January 1 and is operating as a combined unit with Baldwin County. The second county, Forsyth, will begin operation of its County Forestry Unit July l.
The combined Baldwin-Hancock unit will be operated under the supervision of Ranger Elmer Meeks,who already is head of forest protection forBaldwin County's 102,500 forest acres. Inclusion of Hancock County in the protected area will bring in an additional 229,400 acres of woodland to the territory now served by the Ranger.
The new Unit's equipment, according to Sixth District Forster W. C. Harper, will consist of Baldwin County's present equipment plus a small plow unit composed of a truck and a John Deere tractor. The Unit's twoway FM system also will be enlarged in keeping with demands of the new county, and hand tool equipment also will be increased.
Hancock and Baldwin Counties will share finances with the State providing two-thirds of the over-all expenses and paying the cost of building fire towers.
Surveys now are under way to determine the best locations for ranger headquarters and tower site.
Ninth District Forester 0. C. furtz reported Forsyth County's private forestland acreage consists of 93,600 forest acres.

New Forestry Center
Dedicated At Macon

First hand glimpses of everything fran growing the ''superior pire of the future ' ' - to fighting forestfires with weatherstations and airplanes were on the ''open house'' itinerary of the new Georgia Forestry Center, dedicated in special
ceremon1es near Macon last month.

Representing JOlnt efforts of five of the state's leading forestry organizations, the Center's opening was launched with a talk by Governor Herman E. Talmadge, who termed the estabblishment ''the nerve center of forestry for the entire state."
More than a thousand persons including delegations frum throughout the Southand all sections of Georgia participated in the day's festivities.

Governor Hennan Talmadge.
''It is here,'' declared the Governor, ' ' that the newest experiments and research with seeds, s e e d 1 i n g s , grafts , en tan ology work and pathology activities will take place ' '. Here also is the focal point for a 138 county network of forest fire suppress1on activities.''

The new forestry center, a joint venture of the Georgia Forestry Commission, the Georgia Forest Research Council, the U. S. Forest Service, the Southeastern Forest Experiment Station, and the Georgia School of Forestry, is located three and a half miles south of Macon on the Riggins Mi 11 Road .

''Open house'' tours conducted by commission personnel began early in the afternoon, and dozens of Georgians from all parts of the state were conducted though the vast Commission shop and warehouse, the Georgia Forest Research Council headquarters, the Hitchiti experimenta l

Accomplishments of the Southern Pulpwood Conservation As socia tion during its past d~cad e and a half of organization will highlight the anua 1 S PCA meeting January 18-19 at the Atlanta Biltmore Hotel in Atlanta.
H. J. Malsberger, Southern
Pulpwood Conservation Association General Manager-Forester, reported plans for the annual session and said, ''We selected our meetin g theme with the thought that many of the new leaders and new workers now engaged in S PCA activity are not entirely familiar with the coridi tions existing at the time the founders established the organization.
"We plan also," he declared, ''to look in to the future with a view to determining the best course of action to follow in providin~ c ontinuing crops of trees.'
The c onservat ion foresters' meeting wi 11 be held the afternoon of Tuesday, January 18. Mr. Malsber ge r reported the organization plans to make this a workshop type of program, covering only one Important phase of the Conservation Forester's work. The discussion during this session will be confined to newspaper publicity and the most effective methods of preparing such articles on forestry as the field men are called upon to prepare.
The area delegates' meeting will begin at 4 p.m. Tuesday, January 18, and wi 11 be coneluded with a delegates din~ ner that eveni~g.

100 Attend Sawmill Conference In Dalton

Dozens of phases of sawmilling ranging from planting to marketin g featured a recent conference at Dalton sponsored by the Tennessee Valley Authority, The Georgia Forestry Commission and the Georgia Extension Serv1ce.
Attended by more than 100 sawmillers, sawmill representatives and foresters, the conference, held last month, was designated to acqua1nt men in the lumber and lumber harvesting field with methods of attaining greater profits from their sawmilling activities.
Douglas Kersh, of Dixie Building Supply Company, Dalton, opened the meetin g, held at the \\hitfield County Forestry Unit headquarter s, by ou dining the meetin g's purpose. Guyton DeLoach, Geor gia Fares try Commission dire ctor, welcomed the group, and Charles B. West, of West Lumber Company, Atlanta, was master of ceremon1es.
W. H. McComb, Georgia Fares try Corrunission management ch ief, described North Georgia's forest resources, and John W. Lehman, of TVA's Div-

ision of Forestry Relations, described the types of trees currently harvested and the value of the lumber produced.
Proposals for closer adherance to current grading regulations in order to compete more successfully with Douglas fir highlighted much of the discussion period.
