Charred Wood
Rejected by Mills
"The- paper mills which secure _
all or .part of their pulpwood in *
South Carolina will not accept
charred wood," said State Fores- *
ter H. A. Smith. *
"The charred wood interferes a
with the normal pulp anl paper s
making processes, therefore,- when 1
a car or barge load of wood arriv. K
es at a mill with charred sticks in 1
Ll?they nr.. cast aside and their J
volume is not included in making
settlement' tp?the chipper;?^-Theshipper
has not merely lost inso. ^
far as the cost of the stumpage '
and nienaration nf rVi" (
sticks is concerned but he has al- v
so lost the cost of the freight haul *
ol' the charred wood". *
All of the pulp mills have fully v
advised pulpwood cutters and !
shippers that they will not accept 5
charred wood. Most of the cut r
ters prepaie their wood so as c
not to include charred sticks. How 1
ever, woods fires char the butts ol "
trees and the cutters must go to '
considerable trouble and expense tio ;
eliminate the charred butts or the r
charred portion. In many cases 1
after the wood is cut and "penned"
in the woods a fire may burn thru '
the area fin.I destroy nr char the J
wood. r
"The people who cut pulpwood t
have t,, work?very hard to make ^
a living and it j,s_ unfair to them ]
forr others ^to be caTelFsywlth fire 1
in the woods and thereby deprive (
them of some of the reward for J
their work", said the State For I
ester. "In addition the landown. F
er secures "less for his situmpage I
if it is necessary to cut high S
stumps (/r to cut off .a portion of d
the butt of the tree to avoid t
harring, lot and cavaties caused e
by woods fires. This is just as v
