v . ^ 'V' ~ sx-y sy ; . f' 1 Saturday, January 23, 1937 SOUTH CAROLINA STATE FOREST SERVICE The Pulp IV1 ills And The Practice of Forestry in South Carolina Columbia, S. C.?This is tho first of a series of articles by the South Carolina State Commission of Forestry, dealing with a new industry of tremondous importance to the State, the liabilities arising as a result of that industry and the practicos necessary for ' the .elimination of the dingers in-herent thereto. The lon,g heralded pajW industry has at last -arrived in South Carolina. The breaking of ground for the construction of $7,000,000 plant of the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company at Charleston, the beginning of work on the ? plant of the Southern KVai^tt Co^r. poration, (a subsidiary of the International Paper Company) at Georgetown, and the-'construction of the plant of the Union Bag and Paper Company at Savannah, just across the river from South Carolina, gives concrete evidence of the importance of the forest producing soil of the central and eastern portions of the State_ of South Carolina. ~ The plant of the Union Bag and Paper Company is already in ..operation. As this is being written. word comes of" the doubling of the size afl that plant. Close to $25.OOO.OOO will c>e represented in investments for the plants alone pi those tremendous mills, jpach of which will provide employment for thousands in permanent work. Each "mill" at almost the very beginning will have a capacity ol from 500 to 1000 cords of wood pei day, and,since probably only hall the buying radius of the Savannah mill will me in South Carolina, this ? j means that close to two thpusand .J-' cords of wood will be consumed by this single industry every twenty four hours from the time they stary. A Tremendous Wood Supply This is the equivalont of a pile of wood four feet high with pieces five feet long extending over two and one-half miles, or if translated into lumber, it- means tihal sufficient wood will be transformed from its tree shape into pulp, which, in the forpi of lumber f, would be sufficient for the construction of. 50 good size frame dwelling houses. This is a. trtL-. . tnendous quality of wood. If an average of three cords per acre are cut, it means a daily cut from over 560 acres of land, and it means further that in one year over 196,000 acres1 will be cut over to feed the hungry maw of this vast industry. It is assumed that the buying areas of those three mills will wvci every county 11*0111 trie Sandhills of South Carolina to the Atlantic Ocean. It means a great market for the timberland owners of our State. In many respects it means a tremendous asset, but like every other asset, these mills < carry with them liabilities, and it ? is the purpose otr. these articles to ~ present to thcpeffple of "South Carolina the value of such a mill, the value of their timberlands w*hen handled in accordance with proper practice? and the dangers from improper practices which so obviously must exist. Succeeding -articles will discuss the Pulp Mills as liabilities, ahd the Use of Forest Fire Control, Reforestation, and Forest Management in the safe guarding of the new industry. _ Technical Assistance Available-" It is not expected that these articles will provide the landowners with information sufficient to gride them in the handling of their woodlands. Every acre of forest land involves separate and district problems. Factors of soil, species, reproduction tenden-? cies, fire control and many others make it essential that technical articles js to arouse an interest in these tracts and to * acquaint the public with the fact that technical foresters employed by the available without charge, for examination and recommendations upon?and concerning .theii forest J land a. The three 1'ulp Mills will, in 'all probability, buy in evcxy coufity witlhin thet,State from the edge of the Piedmont to the Atlantic Ocean. The pulp mill from North Carolina which is already ""buying in the Piedmont, will be thrown in competition, in certain acreas at least, with the new mills, thus stimulating throughout a largo portion of the State the market for ptilp wood^r A Tremendous Wood Pile The new mills will have an annual consumption of pulp wood of 695,000 cords. This moans a pile of cord wood with the pieces 5 fleet long piled 4 feet high and extending for over 800 miles. This * would more than encircle the State. This represents a .tremendous market for the farmers and the landowners of the State. Over a half million dollars will be paid each year in stumpage for this cord wood and close to $3,000,000 a year will be spent in wages for the cutting of that wood and the transportation of it and this is just the beginning. W There are maHv who think that Jw this annual consumption will, in # tihe very near future, probably less than a year, be doubled, whicb " for cord wood and double the waffi , will imean double the money paid es spent in its production. The two mills in South Carolina Will employ close to 3000 peopie for 12 months in the year, and this does not include those employ% ed in the acquisition and managreO?4 ment. of forest lands already^ owned and being: acquired by the various companies, or those engajfed in tihe cutting: o<f! wood upon pri[jrlataly own ad lands. In the production of this wood is a splendid opportunity for ?pare time labor I WESTERN CAROLINA TEACHERS MEET Ridge Spring, S. C., Jan C, 1937 ?The Executive board of the Joint County Teachers association of Western Carolina-Jiad. its aiinual meeting in the Tog Cabin library of Ridge Ilill school for the purpose of arranging for the annual meeting on February 20th. 1937 at Edgefield Academy, Edgefollows: From Edgefield County W.

Jan. 5, 1937 The committee which Was appointed by the County Colored Teachers' association, met in. the c^Vice of the county superintendent's office, and contracted mem'iors of our county delegation. . The purpose of this meeting was' tp lay before these officials the problems of colored education :n this county and ask their moral support in any measure that may arise for the advancement of oui Troup. The neodss discussed were: ; (a) Comfortable school buildinfra. : ; .. j (b) School buildings where there were no school holdings. (c) Need for compulsory attendance and longer term. (d) Teachers' snl'-iies being raised $10.00 on the month instead of 10 per cent. The committee way rece'ved cordially and assured they were aware ,of conditions under which are ijaboring. and that they in tentrnd to fight for the pi-ogre1" of this needy but appreciative (Troup, that would be compelled thru circumstances to remain ?o the next fifty years in this coun. ty. This delegation realizes that in ordpr for thp strrtneor (rmirn tr> succeed, the weaker group must in a measure be made stronger. The chairman of this eroup made a very timely approach.? The following composed the com mittoe: T. F. Hammond, Jcancs worker, Chairman A. C. Hightower, President County Teachers' association; E. W. Sinipkins, Prin. j Plum Branch school; J. R.

Dr. Herty's Discovery Manv years ago Dr. Charles E, Herty, now of Savannah. Georgia, directed attention to the fact that 1 young slash pine trees contained | a verv small quantity of gum. It is the gum which has made it )necessary in paper production to i bleach 'out the puTp made from j southern pines in older to give it a \sufficlently white appeaqartce for use as ne\ys print. News print represents the bulk c/i the American paper business, to-day, aril/) t Vln of O fwl-.nunt. practical commercial process for the martuflacture of news print paper fnoih1 southern pines would almost immediately throw into the I South the bulk of the paper business through news print production. ^Dr. Herty's work has done mojch to direct the attention of paper manufacturers to the South, and ?in?his bihorarrrry in Savannah ifTT understood that "runs" of news print paper have been made from Southern pines of sufficient quan| tities to publisfl one of the larger Georgia daily newspapers, j Products of the Paper Mills i When it is considered that on the average, 134 acres oif timber are j necessary for the output of a single issue of one large New York j daily newspaper, it may be understood with what importance to the South the studies of Dr. Herty have been. Unfortunately, how ever, or maybe fortunately, the mills under construction in South Carolina and Georgia to-day are under construction for the manu(-faeture not of news print br:t Of -raft paper only suitable for wrapping paper, bags, liner boards and container boards of various sets, ft is-' to be assumed, however, that the paper companies a?o thoroughly familiar with the pos_ .-ibilitios in news print production Irom Southern pines and that the ehange in the machinery neaessavy would be comparatively simple were the companies to change frnrn mnnnfc?nfnr/? P oroff *%o per to news print. The tremendous quality of timber, however, to supply the demands of the news print industry make it even more 'essential that the supply of raw material be guaranteed and^ emphasizes the dangers from pulp mill operation, which will be discussed in subsequent articles. The pulp mills in this way will be a tremendous asset to the State, but every asset carries with it a liability and the next article in series will emphasize some of the dangers which landowners must recognise at the beginning. ?
