There are vast areas in South Georgia that probably will neve r be g? od for anything other than growin g p ine s . Yet much of this area is kept de voide d of the weal th-making pines by the habit o f burning the woods e very s pring so that sc rub cows may have s ome early wire grass t o e at.

New Committee
Will Attack I & D Outbreaks

Salvaging
On State

Under Way Forestland

Ccnc ; ete action to attack current and future forest tree insect and disease outbreaks was taken last month at Macon with formation of a statewide committee repreBenting landowners, forest industries and state and private forestry organizations.
W. M. Oettmeier, of Superior Pine Products Corp., Fargo, heads the group, which will be known as the Georgia Forest Pest
Committee. 0. G. Traczewitz, of
Waycross, rep resenting International Paper Company, serves as Vice Chairman.
The Macon meeting, ca ll ed by the Georgia Forestry Commission, drew more than 100 persons from all parts of the state.
R. J. Kowal, of the South-
ea~tern Forest Experiment Station, Asheville, N.C., described the work done by similar committees in other southern states attacked for forest insects. He also stressed the need for an efficient early detection system, statewide in s cope, which wquld enab l e attacks to be laun c hed "wh ile they st ill are small enough to control."
Mr. Kowal pointed out Georgia's record-breaking drouth and fire seas on " contributed material] y" to a current South Georgia pine beetle infestat ion whi c h already ha s been responsibl e for a lo ss of 50,000,000 board feet of t imber.

"Operation Salvage, " one of the greates t forest salvage operations ever to be attempted in the Southeastern Unit e d States, today i s unde r way on a 21, 100 a cre tract of state forestland burned over in a series of devastating spring wildfires.
The salvage operation is an aftermath of the forest fires which during the ea rly days of March came whipping out of the drought- s truck Oke fenoke e Swamp Park and turned the surrounding Ware County countryside into an area of palling smoke and searing flames .
Amon g ar e as hardest hit was the Wayc ross State Forest, whi c h only a month e arlier had been described by Georgia Forestry Commi ss ion Director Guyton DeLoach as "one of the fine s t stands of timber in the state ." Plans already were und e r way when the fires s truck for a major improvement harvesting, in which some of the forest's prime sawtimber, along with poles, pulpwood and a variety of othe r forest produ cts would b~ remove d.

With 21,000 of the 37,000 acres of the for es t scorc hed and c harred by the wildfires which had c rossed them, the area stood immediately s usceptibl e to the ravages of the pine beetle.
State fore stry officia l s, realizing that all wood not removed within 60 to 90 days following the fir es would be unmerchantabl e, began t heir plan s for a gigantic salvage operation eve n as embers st ill smo ld ered within the boundari es of the fire line.
With an estimated 65,000 to 70,000 cords of wood to be r e served from the burned area, the race to" beat the beetles" be came imminent. Governor Marvin Griffin, noting the time factor, immediately i ssuP. d an executive ord e r authorizing the Geo r g ia Forestry Commission to dispense with normal time-cons uming bid procedures and to negotiate directly with fores t industries for sale of the fire dama ge d timber.

GEORGIA FORESTRY

Thousands of forestry-minded Georgians gathered l ast month at Swainsboro to participate in the tenth annual Emanual County Pine Tree Festival and to pay tribute to the festival theme, "Keep
Pines Alive in' 55."
The week-long festival, climaxed by an address by Governor Marvin Griffin and by the col orfu] and traditional Pine Tree parade, was described by Georgia forestry leaders witnessing the event as '' ... the best yet. "
A King Lumberjack contest to determine the cormmni ty' s champion beard grower , a soap box derby, a go lf tournament, a fat cattle show and a boat and water ski show formed a part of the week-long itinerary.
Le d by the Marin e Corps band from Parris Island, the parade included e i ght other ba nd s and dozens of floats.
Governo r Griffin, featured speaker, lauded Emanua] Counti-

ans for their part in Georgia's
$750,000,000 a year forest indus -
try and out lin ed activities under way by the state of Georgia to insure " a future econom y in which your forests a nd forest industries wi ll conti nue to p lay a ma JO r ro I e. "
With comely, blonde Linda Deckle .r;eign1ng as lOSS Festival Queen, festival cont est winners were announced after the gove rnor's ta lk.

After the green fence posts have been treated with the Jlreserving osmose chemical they are stacked and stored under plastic covers, photo below, to permit the cherr.ical to diffuse into the wood tissue.

Pre-commercial woodlot thinnings- - those_which farmers and landowners often term ''the litt le stuff,'' ranging from two t o five inches in diame ter, t o~ay are yielding dollar s and cents p ro f i ts for a host of farmer s in the West Georgia are~
Those profits ar e being made possible through a Troup County wood prese rving plant whi ch has been in operation less than a year. The plant, the Cherokee Enterr-rises , of Hogansville, began operations in June , 1954, under management of owner Robert S . Ware.
Today, some 10 months and 12, 000 posts la ter , t he plant is steadily gaining a reputation as No. 1 market for pre-commercial woodlot thinnings .
Treatme n t and sale o f the posts provides a profit 'for both the farmer b_ringing in the posts and for the treating plant alike.
" Farmers a r e coming to realize," says Mr. Ware, " that the average life of an un treated post i s s lightly more t han three years . An os mose-process treated post set in today, however, has an average life of 21 years . "
Fence posts three inches in diameter and six feet lon g are treated, wi t h the p ri ce varyin g with diameter and l ength of the pos t . Post treatment forms the bulk of the operations; but pole & also are given t he osmose treatment.
Another plant operation consists of osmose treating of lumber . Mr . Ware has estimate d that treated lumber, whi c h c osts approximately one third more than untreated, la sts from three to five times as 1on g.
Most farmers who carry posts and poles to the firm purchase

the tre ating ser vi ce ; but many o the r s sel l their green po l es , posts, and lumber to Cherokee Enterprises directly. Untreated posts also are taken as paymen t for treated posts.
Mu ch of the wood which goes t hrough t he plant comes from t he Ware Estate, which has 5,000 acres of timberland. Cherokee Enterprises was conceived with Mr . Ware 's observat ion t ha t a ~efinite need ex i sted o n t he tract for a good u tilization of t he smaller ti mber which is removed in thinnings while still not of me r chantable size .
"One of our ch i ef require ments ," declared the owner, "is that wo'od be brought in to t he plant not later than t hree days after cutting. I t is then de barked, treated with osmosal ts, and stacked on the yard under a plasti c cover for thirty days . Th e wood c an be removed and placed in the ground after t hirty days."
Mr . Ware se lls posts throu gh a corps o f dealers within a 50 mile radius of Hogansville.
The owne r-opera t or of Cherokee Enterprises is enthusiastic over the advantages of the Os mo se process.
"I t ' s clean to nandle," he explains. It holds nai-lswell. It will ta ke paint well, but doesn' t need to be painte d. It is also fire r :!sistant ."
The future of t hi s progr ess ive Geor gia forest industry see ms we]] assured . One of the best in di~ations of its prog r essive prosperity is the ever-growing popularitj of catt le growing in the area--an a ct~v i ty whi ch, in turn, brings about an i ncreased demand for fence posts.
