C. McCarley. Through Increased industrial demand. the rearmanent program, and FHA activity, the demand for lowgrade pine timber Is now better than at any time during the past 10 years, Mr. McCarley points out- This gives the farmer the chance to sell many limby and low-grade trees that had no market before now. Since good forlest/y practices encourage the removal of this class of trees jn order to create more growing rooin for better ones, the profitable thing to do would be to' take advantage of the current roofer j market. In doing this, the county agent fug-1 gests. the timber should be cut on a. selective basis, the trees *o be .removed marked beforehand with paint or white-wash. The trees marked should rna!dl*e frees (those over 16 inches in diameter) and the diseased, unhealthy, limby, and knotty ones, i The heaviest out should be made where the stand is most crowded. The thrifty lo-. 12-. and 14-inch trees should be left for future cuttings In thinning pine timber to get rid of th?- trees of poor form, pulp wood markets should not be overlooked. Frequently it is advantageous to thin for pulpwood younger stands *hal have not yet reached a profitable saw timber size. This Is oftentimes the case when the trees are under 14 inches in diameter.
