We Cannot Afford To Let Woods Burn Clem son, March 9.?South Carolina land owners are not rich enough toj have "forests to burn," declares Chas. R. Ross, assistant extension forester, asserting that we certainly cannot afford woods fires. Woods Area, Ross explains, undermine the productiveness of forest areas in three ways?they cause understocked timber stlands, they retard the rate of tree growth, and they start detay in many Injured trees. As to understocked woods Ross i cites figures from the Southern Fori est Experiment Station. On a Mississippi tract of 320 acres a test begun when the pines were coming up showed only 18 per cent living after five years on tho part burned annually, 85 per cent on the part unburned. In a 20-year test in North Carolina the count showed only 62 trees per acre On burned area and 158 trees per acre on the unburned area. Illustrating fire injury to rate of growth, two groups of pine saplings In a South Carolina area showed after 10 years that trees subjected to annual burning had grown an average | of 22 percent less wood than the unburned. ... Decay started by Are Injuries is heavy in both hardwoods and pine trees, though flros are more apt to start decay in hardwoods because pines have bark that la somewhat fireresistant. A Bureau of Plant Industry study showed that hardwood trees cut on certain timbering Jobs in the South and East hadj67 percent bun rots due to Are injury. Lions, like men, mature In approximately one-fourth of their life span. They live well In captivity, and some ' have been known to live under man a core for 36 years or mow.; A tree, 84 feet In diameter, and estimated to be more than 8,800 TJJjJ old Is said to bo tho world a oldest i It is located m Yooejnlte National Park.
