Saturday, February 6, 1937. ^ SOUTH CAROLINA STATE _..' FORfeST SERVICE Office of State Forester The Pulp Mills and the Practice of Forestry in South Carolina Thig is the third in a series ot articles dealing with the ^Jlpt mills In South Carolina. Previous articles have dealt with the pulp mills as assets, and as liabilities. This article deals with forest management and subsequent articles will deal with forest fire_ control- and reforestation as measures for guaranteeing the permanency of a valuable industry. f Forest management is the-utilization of forest areas with a view to the production of the greatest wood volume and quality possible , Each acre of forest so. 1 is capable of producing so many trees oi each species of so many district size classes. An over-abundance of trees means slow growth which migh be advisable from the standpoint of quality production, but not advisable from the stand-point ol " pulp production. Likewise an ovei slow growth rate or trees of an inferior species like pond pine 01 scrub oak will mean decreased quantity production and should be discouraged. Nature very extravagant. The law of the survival of the fittest takes heavy toll among those ;* trees which lose out in the race if nature has her way those trees fall to the ground, decay and witl ^ the exception of fertilizer value ' become lost to humanity. This loss is occassioned by the overtopping of the weaker trees. Tht v period during which this over-topping-lakes place frequently requir es many -years. ?It is the forester's - job to see that those trees are removed at the proper-time and utilized for the purpose /or jwhich they are best suited. This,serve? two purposes:' (1) It salvages the material which would ^ otherwise, be wasted and (2) it insures more rapid griwth among the trees ... which remain through the reduction of. the drain upon the moisture and food value within the soil. This process is known as thinning r nnu it la tm U UJ4 11 LIlit I much of the pulp wood is S?"th Carolina should be derived. Methods of Cutting A generally accepted method of such a program is the selection of certain especially tall, straight, vigerous trees and marking of I them to remain as crop trees producing the highest quality of lumber and poles. Having selected . f and marked the crop trees, cutting is done among the other tree! ,|. with a view to removing interfer? ence both in the a/r and on the ground from the crop trees, al? (though at the same time, insofaas possible, keeping the ground reasonably well shaded. Another cutting piogram is 1 known as the selection cutting in which the dominant trees or the I bigger tree/, are removed for the market, thereby giving the younger trees an opportunity to take their place. The choice of cutting methods depends^upon many facnumber of trees to the area, size of these trees, species, etc. Proper handling of wood land for the maximum production re?? quires dmowledge of the prirreiptos of the growth that most laymen do not, possess. In cutting it is understood, of course, that natural seeding up of the area following the cutting is desired in order to in?? sure the continuous reproduction - of trees upon the land. Therefore, if there be not sufficient young trees on the ground of the species desired, it is essential that there be no cutting unless there is assurance of seed of the proper species 1 from some source. I I Unusual Sending of Ix)ng Leaf As an example, if a l?ng pine stand containing a few scat tered pond pine is cut in a year :r. which longlcaf is not producing seed and there are no longleaf ^ seedlings on the ground there will obviously te no regeneration of longleaf pine possibly for five or ^ six vears. for it is a known fact that longleaf pine frequently fails to seed for some five to seven years at a time. On the othei hand, during that per;od if pond pines were left it is entirely probC^r ablo that the area will seed up with pond pine or scrub oak or both, and possibly to such an extent that expensive planting practices will have to be resorted to in order to restore the area to proper production. This situation is the re suit of the fact that longleaf pi'fie seeds only at long intervals and that the mere inferior pine seeds f prolifically every year, and that I* scrab oak strats from cp'routs be jS neath the ground and also repro^3 - ducea prolifically and growg fast. m It is understood, of courseJ'in following this example that pond pine is an inferior tree, grows slowly, does not attain large gfze and is very susceptible to fire damage. The principles contained within this example are applicable also to those areas in which there is a considerable quantity of slash pine. The Slash Pine Tree ' Slash pine In its proper locah on !? nno r\f nnr mnsl rnnirl orrnwprs It is said to have in its younger stages adaptability for the manufacture of newsprint paper, It alt so ranks well with the longleaf pine in the production of gun and ~~~ naVAl slopes ahd fit IK6 SUhU! lime is suitable for poles, lumber and ? all of the other uses of the south, ern pine. Improper cutting in ?tends of mixed clash pine, loblolly I,. .... and po.i?d.T>i'ms may result in the elimination of siasn pine, and tne iwuniij; ut ^my luwmiy una puna pine anil possioly only puna pine, /ill ol lliese tilings muse Dc? tuicen into consiaeruiion wnen lunocr is cue lor puip i\ooa una tiie^mstii ci voresteis ul tlie btute Cvinmisolun ol 1< orestiy aie availauie lol die ptoviunig; 01 more deiuute 111xormaiioii along these lines. \V hen to cut a tree lor pulp wood a very important lac tor in the handling ol timbers. southern y pnics grow very rapidly lor cer- < cam perioUi and at tue end oi that J -t'i'i ion the growth rate uixrps oTT " .apdly.

' There is a diameter limit above which it is very questionable * whether it will pay to utilize the ci-ee pulp wood, preferring linstead il co let that tree grow a little longer h hlto the saw log stage. There is S a minimum diameter also at winch .rets should not be cut and these y ..lameter limits are determined p .argely by the conditions of r growth upon the ground. A lob- c .oily pine trety six inches in di- 'w a motor-4 Via loot above the ground, H utilized to^a four inch diametei uniit at the small end contains .our cubic feet of wood. That ii >ame tree permitted to grow to a w .welve inch in d ameter, which h .t will do in loss time tnan it took n .ir grow the first a x inches, will ontain -2-cubic feet or live ana >' r half times as much wood.

Somewhere between that si x and twelve inches, s the place at which the trees .hould be cut for pulp wood pro- ? . iding it has previously been deter mined' that the tree should .be re- w novt'd. 11 Results of^vPoor Management Failuie to . take these things into .onside ration' must mean but? one s ?f several things: (1) areas grown ? Jp to trees of undesirable form. . luality and species; (2) the elimi- f ration of trees with speaal val- M ies, like naval stores producing alues and 3) a reduced income as i result of failure to produce the maximum quantity which the_-suil ,? s capable of producing.. , All of these thing^ are advisable ,, ind constitute certain phases ol he science of forest management p >ut regardless of the forest science v may be applied unless fire control ; measures-are put into effect the j, best results cannot be obtarned. _ The young seedlings started j, Jirough judicious cutting, the in i'f'asr d rrnwlh n i-nsnll ,.P n>.n" ? r,. ? ** 1.vwv4iv v thinning and the balancing of he factors of light and shade through wise management can all " ;-e nullified by a single fire. * The next article on the pulp p nills and forestry in South Carolina will' deal with the necessity p for that fire control and the means whereby ;t may be obtained. ^ SOUTH CAROLINA STATE FOREST SERVICE Office of State Forester r Charred Wood Not 'Suitable For Pulp d Columbia.
