One distinct disadvantage is that there is no more income from the land until the seedlings from these seed trees grow to proper size. This usually means waiting 20 to 30 years for another cut. Leaving only seed trees is recommended, therefore, only when it is impossi ble to cut more conservately. Whether pine timber is cut for pulpwood, firewood, sawtimb&, or any other purpose, if only seed trees-are- tot be- left, at least; four to 14 seed trees per acre should' be left to reforest the land. These should be healthy, well formed, at least 10 to 12 inches in diameter, and well spaced over the area. But for the greatest income from woodlands over a period of years, it is advantageous to leave more on the land than just seed trees. This can be accomplished by se lective thinnings when only one- fourth to one-third of the mature or undesirable trees are removed at one cutting. The remaining trees increase in growth as a re sult of the thinning. Thus re peated cuttings are possible every few years because a good stand’ is always left for future, crops. \ The Southern Kraft Corporation mill at Georgetown and the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company at Charleston have adopted the pulpwood Conservation Association rules, and this is a progressive step in the conservation of our timber, Mr. Bruner concludes. Treasurer’s Notice Leaving Seed Trees Not Best Practice In Cutting Pulpwood Clemson, Aug. 31.—The Clemson College Extension Service, the State Forest Service, and the Southern Pulpwood Conservation Association, all urging the adop tion of selective cutting as the best method in harvesting pulpw^d, all agree that when this prae'i^e is not possible or practicable, leav ing a goodly number of seed tvees is a second choice, says M. H. Bruner, extension forester.
