Last season Franklin County farmers cut and shipped enough pulpwood to make the smokeless powder required to Are four thousand rounds in a sixteen inch naval gun, and the paper con tainers to hold these same shells until they were ready for use. A survey has just been made by Technicians of the Tar River Soil Conservation District of all the shipping points in the Coun ty on both the Seaboard and the Atlantic Coast Line railroads to determine the amount of pulp wood shipped during the past sea son. The survey showed that from September 1, 1943 to June 1, 1944. one hundred and fifty seven carloads averaging thirteen units per car have been shipped. The equivalent of three cars was hauled by truck to points outside the County for shipment, making a total of 160 cars or 2,080 units of 160 cubic feet each. Franklin ton led with 63 cars. Youngsville shipped 11 and Louishurg 33 cars. 60 cars were shipped by way of the Atlantic Coast Line from Bunn and sidings nearby. Last January the various Agri cultural Agencies working in the county in cooperation with . the County Pulpwood Committee de cided to hold a series of pulpwood cutting demonstrations. A total of 93 people attended the & meet ings held. Selective cutting was stressed at all the demonstrations and a good portion of the pulp wood cut po far has come from the tWnning of young pine stands. The crowded, crooked, and in ferior tree* have gone to help make up the 2,080 units, which at $9.50 per unit loaded on the car Eas brought thu woodland owners of Franklin County a gross return of $19,760.00. Very little pulpwood had ever been cut in the County and most agricultural leaders felt at the time the demonstrations were held that it would be extremely hard to get any appreciable amount cut in a tobacco growing county such as Franklin, already faced with a serious shortage of labor. However, the farmers have responded nobly and done their part in supplying Uncle Sam with a vitally needed war product. The 160 cars cut are a long ways from the 2,000,000 cords requir ed to package supplies for over seas shipment this year, but it is ] YES!
