Page 4-B Letter To The Editor: Many of the things we all use in our daily lives come from trees: lumber for houses, newsprint for our newspapers, and chemicals which are used in products ranging from toothbrushes to football helmets. In recognition of our nation’s dependence on forest products, a joint resolution of Congress has requested a Presidential proclamation designating the third week of October (beginning this year on October 18) as National Forest Products U/oalr W txh. And our nation’s demand for wood-based products is increasing. The U. S. Forest Service predicts domestic demand for wood and wood products will double in the next 50 years. As the post war baby boom generation enters the housing market in the 1980’s, the demand for housing will be unprecedented, and ninety per cent of all single-family detached dwellings are built of wood. Demand for softwood timber is projected to increase by 82 per cent by the year 2030, hardwood by 220 per cent. At the same ♦time demand is going up, land available for forests in NOTICE Recreational facilities in cluding boat ramp, marina, lodge, park, beach, fishing pier or any and all other such areas of Cape Colony are for the private and exclusive use of members of Cape Colony Association, Inc.

Approximately one million acres of commercial forest land are lost every year to suburbia, agriculture or other uses. The projected increased demand and the decreasing land base point out the need for getting maximum use from the land available for growing trees. Also, it takes a long time to grow a tree. In order for our nation to have adequate supplies of wood to meet the increased future demand, forest owners must manage their land today .. To meet the long range increased need the forest industry is looking south. The South has the ideal climate and soil conditions in addition to having two hundred million acres of commercial forest land available for timber production. Almost three out of every four of those commercial forest acres in the South are owned by private, non industrial landowners. Experts say the key to meeting our nation’s projected increased demand for wood and wood fiber lies in convincing the two million southern forest landowners that it is in their Forest Products Week Is Set For Quick Results... interest to manage their land. Forest management is a broad term which includes practices such as: eliminating deformed or diseased trees to give healthy trees more room to grow; in pine stands, a carefully controlled burn of accumulated leaves, branches and brush on the ground, so they won’t be there to fuel a wildfire; protecting hardwood stands from fire and grazing so they can regenerate; and harvesting when the trees have reached maturity. Forest owners who manage their land are not Illness Claims Mr. Stallings HOBBSVILLE James Wilbert Stallings, 60, died Saturday night at 9:10 o’clock in the Chowan Hospital following a long illness.

THE CHOWAN HERALD simply trying to solve our nation’s potential timber supply problem; they have a variety of personal reasons why they utilize forest management. For some, it’s an investment. A new investment tax credit enables landowners investing in trees as a crop to recoup their investment much sooner. Landowners can now recover all planting costs, up to SIO,OOO, within seven years of planting, as opposed to waiting until the harvest - 30 or more years later. Some forest owners manage their land to provide food and shelter for wildlife. Following a timber harvest, green forage, fruits, berries and weed seeds are frequently abundant. Each phase of a forest’s growth produces its own combination of wildlife food and shelter. Managed forest land provides excellent recreation areas for hunting, camping and hiking, and for the enjoyment of being outdoors.

Some 42,000 Tree Farmers across the United States display the diamond shaped green and white Tree Farm sign on their property. Most Tree Farmers are intensely proud of what they have accomplished. They know they will leave their land better than it was when they got it -for their own personal satisfaction, for their children and their grandcpildren. One Tree Farmer, asked why he managed his forest, replied, “For pride, profit and pleasure.” An inspection of forest land can be arranged through the state division of forestry, state forestry association or state Tree Farm Committee.
