\o sir-e-e-e-e! such a game as

Timber Cutting at
Mulberry Plantation
The South Carolina Forest Service
represented by District Forester R.
W. Reiser of Camden and County i
Al'.hi W. C. McCarley, representing
'h?- State Extension Service, conducted
to very informative timber cutting
detin nstration on November 3 on the
Mulberry Plantation, three miles
south of Camden on the west side of
tin Sumter highway. Assistant state
Forester N. D. Canterbury, directed
th. demonstration. ;
Tl?e Mulberry Plantation is owned
b> 11 R. Williams, of Camden; whose
pip' line contracting business operates
Horn Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Mulbetiy
Plantation was orniginally own?d
by General Chesnut, who was
prominent in the early affairs of the
state. Mr. Williams is a direct descendant
of the General and makes
his home in the plantation house
which was built 116 years ago.
The plantation manager, Kirby Tupper
Rleger and McCarley, in company
with I) R Williams, selected a representative
portion of the 2,600 acres
_??
? i ????l
of woodland on the 5,^00 acre plantation
for the demonstration.
An acre plot with 219 trees on it
was laid out and 132 of those which
were crooked, crowding more desirable
trees, or which had been hopelessly
outdistanced in the struggle for
crown room were cut out. The trees
were marked and measured prior io
cutting and were converted into products
to which they were best suited.
A total of 1.600 board feet of saw j
logs, I i cords of pulpwood and 1 1-4 !
cords of fuelwood were secured, baring
a total value of $52.65, which left !
a balance of $34.35, after deducting i
the labor lor the cutting. The cut.
material was neatly stacked or piled
so that the visitors could readily view '
it. Left standing was 6,100 board feet j
of th'e straightest, cleanest timber
which will accelerate its rate of
growth after having been released
from the root and crown competition
of the cut trees In terms of pulpwood
the uncut stand would amount
to 24 1-4 cords. All measurements
were in terms of the standard 128
cubic foot cord.
The cutting of timber in this manner
assures that the owner secures
an Income frofti the thinnings, much
of whfCh would be lost in the natural
development of the stand. It also enables
the sunlight to get to the forest
floor thereby allowing the forest to
reseed naturally.
The cutting also demonstrated that
lands protected from fires are capa-/
ble of growing better quality of tun- i!
ber at a much faster rate than lands
which are burned over. The Williams'
lands reflect the foresight of their
owner as he has protected them from
fire for a number of years and was
one of the first members of the Kershaw
County Protection Association
which was a fore-runner of the present
KArshaw-County-wide protection
activities.
The cotton rows are plainly visible
In this old field timber and George,
an old negro living on the place, re- (
members well the last crop made on
this land?thirty-six years ago. (
County Agent W. J. i iller, of Chesterfield.
gave a very interesting and
informative talk to those assembled. (
lie recounted Lhe forest history of the
county and brought out the economic
values of forest protection to both
Kershaw^ and Chesterfield counties j
State Forester 8mlth gave a very ;
forceful talk on the need for fire pro-;
tectlon and proper cutting practices
to assure maximum timber growth
with continuous and largest returns!
to the landowners and avoidance of
forest depletion for individual owner.!
the county or the state. He went on j
to bring home the point that proper ;
cutting of pulpwood was the three-:
way responsibility of, first, the state J
T- J ?- . _
- ''i"
whose function is to Inform and as- j
sist landowners in regard to what, j
where and how much timber to cut. j
This information and assistance being j
furnished by the District Foresters, j
Secondly, the landowner is responsl- |
ble for the application of proper cut- I
ting and marketing practices to as-'
sure him the highest returns from ;
his woo/Hands as well as improving ,
them by Judicious thinnings and improvement
cuttings. The third responsibility
rests with the paper mills
and their contractors to secure their
supplies from lands out over on a
conservative basis. Mr. Smith brought ,
out the fact that the pulpwood de- j
mands provldeu a market for much j
material secured when thinning timber.
Heretofore, in many cases, the '
small materia, such as this bad no
sale va.ue, uca - ...any landowners
did no, l. >t. crowded timber on ac- |
count of the expense Involved and
lack of income.
Among tne interested visitors present
were Mr. Doveridge and Mr. j
Fit/water, assistant chief foresters ]
.rem the Wasniugton office of the U.
S. i-ore.3t service, who spoke highly!
of tli. Actn o. l..e State Forest Ser-;
vice ??.. t tthi.>ei ^rowing possiollItles
of South Carolina.
At noon, in truni of the nearby log |
lod e, in 11.e iinds, of the woods, a
delicious barbecue dinner was served:
wiUi p.autaUon manager Tuppcr and!
County Hanger l'erry as hosts, as- j
sisted by toe plantation negroes.
'1 lie ii.an> persons who attended
displa>e<i Keen lniereBt in the demonstration
b> examining the cutting
in detail and asking numerous questios.
Mr. Tupper stated that Mr. Williams
had signified his intention of
giving one hundred acres of his timbe
r land similar treatment in the near
future following the suggestions of
District Forester R. W. Rleger of the
State Forest Service.

Schools Urged To
Observe Week
Slu It* superintendent of education
J H. Hope in a message to both educators
and pupils in the stale nines'
tItem to observe Couservation Week,
November 14 to 20, with particular
emphasis on Arbor Day, which takes
place November 10 The full text of
Mr. Hope's message follows.
May t add a word to eIt'orts to pro I
mote an interest in l 'onsen at ion I
\\ eek which will be observed the I
third week in November?
Although conservation of all the natural
resources of our slate should be
a matter ot constant concern on the
part of all of us as educators and clt
i/.ens, 1 heartily approve a time set
aside for concentrated study and
though' of w av s and means to protect '
and preserve our beautiful trees and !
commercially valuable forests
Nature has been very kind to us in.
this state but the time has come when!
it Is necessary to guard zealously !
against man s carelessness, which of-I
ten results in forest fires, and his1
needless extravagance in laying waste |
great areas with the axe and saw. '
Na,lure cannot continue to give to
man in the future unless man today
replaces what he takes from her.
l.Vcl'v school child should have the'
opportunity to visit at least one of'
the many beautiful State Parks "which i

<M r miexcftrr rrtrnt crrcr crrtfcftrcafctcf tcrthe

ol great beauty hut line examples of
vvliat must be done in order to preserve
our forests.
Our young people must see that
whatever goes on now in the way of
destruction is robbery of their own
generation and others to come. This
is a challenge to the teachers They
have a responsibility which I feel
sure they will meet in their teaching.}
hvery available source of help should
he called upon in this program, and
particularly helpful will be any bulletins
