When fann tlmher payt taxes
and prcMlnces a net annoal in
come ot S.2 per cent simple in
terest for the life of the timber
it demands the attention ot every
farmer and timberland owner.
This news story will deal with
'the results ot a timber study
made on ttie farm of J. M. Ger
man, Boomer, Wilkes county.
Last winter, A. G. Hendren,
county agent, with the cooper
ation of the extension ' forester
started a timber thinning and
management demonstration with
Mr. German. A mixed stand of
shortleaf and spruce or Virginia
pine, with an under-story of
hardwood and white pines was
chosen for this study. The site
was cwll gravelly loam and was
previously a cultivated, but erod
ed field. The pines have stopped
the washing and reclaimed the
field, and at the same time pro
duced a worth while crop in the
twenty-six year period.
Choosing lor the demonstra
tion a one acre Plot of average
condition and growth, we found
a total growth of 32.4 cords of
wood per acre—an average of
1.25 cords annually for 26 years.
The stand was crowded and need
ed thinning. Trees were marked
for the harvest.
Mr. German reports a cut of
13.5 cords, and the cost of the
harvest at 80c per cord. The
wood sold lor $2.00 per Cord in
the forest, leaving a net value of
$1.20 per cord. The tax valua
tion of the land was given as
$20.00 per acre, and the tax rate
(1932) $1.25 per hundred. Thus
the annual tax per acre was 26c.
Now let’s see what the results
are. The harvest—13.5 cords per
acre—at $1.20 per cord was suf
ficient to pay taxes—on the bas
is of 1932 average—for the life
of the timber, twenty-six years
amounting to $6.50 and still
leave a cash dividend of $9.70
per acre. You might compare
this cash dividend with the tax
value of the land. Another item
to consider is the labor from
this harvest amounting to $10.80
per acre.
But we must not overlook that
crop of standing trees left as a
working capital to take and
make use of the available mois
ture and soil fertility. In the
standing crop we have 341 of
the choicest trees per acre. These
trees averaging 6.5 inches D. B.
