“The farm woodlands of Mc
Cormick county have a distinct
place in the program of agricul
ture, because demonstrations show
that forest acres, properly treated,
will contribute materially to the
farm income’’, says County Agent
D. Austin Shelley.
Farmers of the county can in
crease the returns from their tim
ber, the agent explains, through
practicing a simple program of
woodland management that in
cludes protection from fire, thin
ning the young timber, and selec
tively cutting the older timber.
Protection from fire is essential
because it destroys leaf litter, re
duces the water-holding capacity
of the soil, and thereby increases
erosion. Furthermore, it kills
thousands of seedlings and sap
lings needed for later stands.
Thinning is profitable because
by rempving the inferior and de
fective trees for fuelv/ood, tobacco
wood, and pulpwood, the thinned
stands will frequently produce
sawtimber and poles in less than
one-half the time required for
unthinned stands.
Selective cutting is profitable
because it makes it easy to leave
a good stand of trees for future
crops that may be cut at frequent
intervals for steady cash returns.
Through following this program
farmers in the county can realize
an annual profit from their tim
ber just as from their cotton,
tobacco, corn, and livestock.

By Mrs. Lane Smith
“Don’t be in such a hurry,”
Said the pine tree to Miss Spring.
“For only in your absence
Do I show my coat of green.
“For when you come in all your
glory
Bringing wraps of every hue,
Clothing bare trees all around me,
I take a back pew.
“So it is only in winter
My head towers high
That man may see my beauty
As he passes by.
“But I would fain detain you.
Dear little breath of Spring,
For when you come,
You’re such a lovely thing.”
