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.
