Pulpwood Cutting Being Supervised Pulpwood companies operating in South Carolina have, informed contractors who buy wood for them that they have subscribed to the regional code for the conservative cutting of pulpwood, voluntarily adopted by the I pulpwood industry. Several of them j have followed up with sending company foresters into the woods- to check upon the operations of the contractors to instruct them so that the minimum requirements will not be violated. The foresters also report to the companies the names of contractors or others who disregard the Instructions. State Forester Smith expressed his pleasure in activities of the pulpwood Industry In. voluntarily taking steps toward applying proper timber harvesting methods. He is hopeful that the1 requirements Insofar as minimum number of trees left standing will be raised. "It Is to be hoped that arrangements will be worked out so that low grade top logs and top wood of logging operations will be salvaged by lumbermen and used for pulpwood. Also that the lumber industry will operate under a set of voluntarily adopted rules, whicK combined with those of pulpwood and naval stores industry, will effectively prevent forest deterioration. "When this much to be desired combined set of working and cutting rules is put lpto effect in the woods we will have gone a long way toward stablMzIng our forest industries. This will react favorably for the industries concerned, will satisfy public opinion arid will result in a measure of forestry ! beln? practiced on practically all! lands from which forest products are ' offered for sale."
