L. Mills of Route 2, Prosperity, attended the Stoney Hill School and have been in 4-H Club work for the past few years. For their acre they thinned out six cords of crowded, defective and diseased trees and left the better trees with room to grow. They value the wood at the farm at $9.00 per cord or $54.00 for all the thipnings. Stumps were cut low and tops scattered to rot and enrich the soil. First prize for the % county w'as $15.00 In cash which the boys will share. Bobby Oxner, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Oxner of Route 1, New berry, walked off with second prize. Bobby is eleven years old and thinned one acre of' 25 year old loblolly pine for his project. Young Oxner is in 4 the sixth grade at Newberry Jr. High and is com pleting his third year of 4-H club work. Total wood cut was eight cords, five of which met pulpwood specifications and was sold at the farm for almost ten dollars per cord. The other three ^ords have a value of about $8.00’ per cord and will be used for heater wood. Bobtfr says it was plenty hard for a boy his size to do this work but he roped his Dad for a little extra help on the bigger trees. He re ceived a MacGregor Varsity Base ball Glove for ills efforts. Willie P. Bedenbaugh, Jr„ a sixth grade student at Stoofoy Hill school, is twelve years old and is completing his fourth year in 4-H work. Willie used the family chain saw and tractor to cut, drag out and buck his pulp- wood. His stand also was a 25 year old loblolly pine stand. It was estimated that the six cords of pulpwood; cut would bring ap proximately $54.00 when sold. Willie was awarded $3.00 and an all purpose pocket knife for his efforts.. This completes the seventh year that the project has been available to young boys of the county. The work has been supervised by As sistant County Agent, Walter A. Ridgeway. "The purpose of the project," reports County Agent Ezell and Mr. Ridgeway, "is to teach young people how to care for trees and how to get the best cash returns from them over the years. By teaching them the value of caring for their timber now, they will be in a position to properly man age their valuable woodlands in lat4r years,” \ The prise awards were furnish ed by the Fairfield forest Pro ducts Company with headquarters in Newberry. This local Company purchases wood throughout this area. The projects were judged and placed by W. J. Barker, Clemson, Extension Forester. Mr. Ridgeway reports that ho. plans to continue the project next year and that all 4-H members will be eligible to enter. «.
