Notes From The
County Agent's Office
By C. B. CANNON, County Agent
Market For Pulpwood
• Howard J. Daye, Area Forester,
Southern Pulpwood Conservation
Association, presided over the
meeting of the Delta Forestry
Meeting and woodyard demonstra
tion held November 14th near
Whitmire. Heavy rain fell during
the meeting but the crowd was
large despite the weather, being
350 to 400 people.
Others taking part on the pro
gram were: James F. Freeman,
Yard Superintendent, who conduct
ed tour of the woodyard and an
• actual unloading and loading dem
onstration of pulpwood by ma
chinery; Charles H. Flory, State
Forester; R. J. Ricbold, Forest
Supervisor; Walter Jaenicke, Con
servation Forester; Carl A. Brown,
District Superintendent, Interna
tional Paper Company. Also Dr.
W. A. Campbell, Division of For
est Pathology, U. S. D. A.
E. ’ H. Agnew, President, South
Carolina Farm Bureau, spoke on
I the “Importance of Forestry in the
Farm Plan” and spiked his talk
with several good jokes.
The Delta Woodyard meeting
•1 and woodyard demonstration was
sponsored by the International
Paper Company in cooperation
with South Carolina State Com
mission of Forestry. The U, S. For
est Service and the Southern Pulp
wood Conservation Association. The
forestry exhibits were furnished
through the courtesy of the State
Commission of Forestry. An inter
esting motion picture film, “Part
nership with Nature” was shown.
The picture showed the care and
management of timber and the
manufacturing of the timber into
various finished commodities, es-
i pecially paper material.
With the opening of this Delta
woodyard, it is practical for any
person having pulpwood for sale
to market the wood any day during
the week, whether a pick-up truck,
a large truck or train car loads. A
person delivering the wood on
trucks will not have to unload his
wood. The unloading is done by
machinery which takes approxi
mately five to seven minutes to
unload a big truck. This kind of
service affords ready market to the
small land owner who may cut and
deliver his own wood as it suits
him.
Laurens county landowners are
taking more interest in timber as a
cash crop, yet there is much to cor
rect in certain practices. That is,
preventing fires which destroy the
young seedlings and retard the
growth of young to older trees.
Also many farmers are cutting or
Owings Resident
Dies While Out
On Hunting Trip
Laurens, Dec. 2.—The body of
William Fair Hostetler, 56, was
found Saturday night in the woods
‘three miles west of Owings Station
in the Greenpond community.
He had been squirrel hunting and
apparently died of -natural causes,
Sheriff C. W. Wier said.
He said Mr. Hostetler had gone
hunting at about 4 p. m. and when
he had not returned by dark search
was instituted. The body was found
by Nathan Bishop, the sheriff said.
Mr. Hostetler was born in Laurens
county, the son of the late Adolphus
and Mattie Kennedy Hostetler. He
had been a farmer most of his life
Survivors include one daughter,
Mrs. Mary Jordon, Fountain Inn;
two brothers, Millard, Spartanburg
and Irvin Hostetler, Greenville; four
sisters, Mrs. Nora Bishop and Mrs
Amelia Thomas, Spartanburg, Mrs.
Buster Godfrey, Woodruff and Mrs.
Louise Redd, Fairmont; and one
grandchild.
Funeral services were conducted
Monday at 4 p. m. at Bramlett Meth-
odst church by the Rev. Dewey
Welcher and the Rev. A. H. Bauk-
night. Interment followed in the

allowing their timber to be cut
with no regard to selective cutting.
There is just as much common
sense in taking out crooked,
crowded trees as there is the thin
ning of cotton and com or veg-
twisted, forked top and over-
etables.
H. E. Martin, County Forest Rang
er and his co-workers devote their
time in the interest of fire preven
tion and fire control. It is the duty
of every person, man, woman, and
child to prevent fires that destroy
and take lives of people and beast.
During 1951, over 3500 acres of
woodland examinations were made
with 286 acres selective marked by
trained foresters in Laurens Coun
ty. For the planting season of 1950-
1951, there were 262,644 tree seed
lings distributed to landowners of
Laurens county. A cooperative order
of 38,000 trees will be delivered by
truck on December 12th. Notices
will be mailed in time for farmers as
to place and hour to pick up their
tree seedlings.
Due to the State Forestry Nursery
not producing their normal number
of seedlings due to weather condi
tions, many landowners could not
order the number of trees planned
for. Those needing tree seedlings
should place their order immediately
after July 1, 1952 for fall planting.
Two school planting demonstra
tions held with 4-H Club members
under the leadership of Mrs. S. H.
Beeks, Poplar Springs Community,
and Mrs. E. J. Evatt, Barksdale-
Namie Community last January in
cooperation with Clemson College
Extension Service. There were ap
proximately 32 boys and girls in the
two clubs getting instruction and the
actual planting of pine tree seed
lings. Many of the club members saw
for the first time the proper method
of planting tree seedlings.
According to information com
piled by the Southeastern Forest Ex
periment Station, Laurens county
rates 26th in pulpwood production
in the state in 1950. The production
being 15,837 standard cords. George
town county rated first of the state,
producing 109.217 standard cords
with Fairfield county rating second,
producing 99,255 standard cords.
Pickens county stands at the foot of
the list, producing 516 standard
cords in 1950.
