These authorities indicate that it is possi - ble to increase the annual growth rate of pine timber up to four times the rate of unmanaged woods by treating timber as a crop, but that if indiscriminate and clear cutting is practiced and burning of woodlands is allowed, then income from southern pine woods is likely to dwindle and there may be an ac tual shortage of merchantable tim ber in seme localities.

When a farmer shoulders his ax or his cross cut saw and goes to his woods to cut wood for his home, gin, tobacco barn or to carry to town he should think of the future as well as the present. When he does, his cutting will work a mark ed improvement in both the amount and value of his farm for est products.
