Forests Are More
Than Mere Timber
' 4
The use of forest land should not
stop with the growing; of timber,
We can, as well iih not, derive from
it Jarge additional services of several
kinds. Forest lands are natural recreational
areas, many of them ocj
curring in the more remote and
mountainous districts, and forest
cover constitute one of their greatest
charms. They can be made to better
the national health, through outdoor
recreation and to supply food in the
| form of game, Wild life of all kinds
will add to their appeal. The water
power which is now, and will be even
more in the future, one of our outstanding
resources, depends largely
upon forest growth for the regulation
of stream flow and the prevention of
silting in reservoirs. Water supplies
j for irrigation also depend upon a permanent
forest cover.
The forest problem of the United
States is one of our outstanding social
and economic problems. It is not
too much to say that we must have
timber and that we must^use the
land. Fortunately the solution of
both these phases of the forest problem
lies in one and the same measure,
the growing of timber on this
land. Magniflcient virgin forests
have shown the possibilities our
task is to help nature repeat what
she has done and improve upon it.
We can also produce game for food,
create opportunities for recreation
and insure the maximum utility of
streams for navigation, water power
and irrigation.?iChas. W. Nuite, the
County Forester.
Grow Feed Crops At
No Extra Labor Cost
iClemson (College, June/ 18. -4 At
leant ten more acres of corrt or other
feed crops are possible when a twohorse
cultivator is used in place of
single plows," says J. T. McAlister,
extension agricultural engineer, who
I has just completed a series of 17 demonstration
meetings in 16 counties,
showing the various operations and
adjustments thVt can be made to
make the work Vof these labor-savers
more efficient.
'3 According to cotton contest and
tier records of the Extension Sere
it requires 66 hours of labor
up to the time of harvest to grow an
acre of cotton when .single plows are
used< This includes all operations
of land preparation, hoeing, etc.
When two-horse cultivators are used
only 34 hours of labor are necessary.
"This," Mr. McAlister points out,-"is
a net saving W 31 hours per acre;
and on 20 acres of cotton this would
amount to 620 hours, which would
permit the growing of as much as
20 acres of other crops in addition
to cotton. These additional feed
crops will make any farm more secure
under present conditions and
permit the lowering of production on
cash crops.
"Many farmers are now using twohorse
cultivators who have not used
them heretofore. _ .Some say they
could not farm without them. As
many as 50 acres of row crops are
being handled with two mules, one
man, and a cultivator."
