Farm Forester Can Render
Valuable Help To Farmers
Barnes Discusses Assistance
Forester Can Render Un
der Four Main Head
ings
BY W. W. BARNES
District Farm Forester
This article has to do with the
work of a Farm Forester, what
his duties are and how he can
assist you.
The work of a Farm Forester
is to assist farmers in develop
ing a systematic program of
forest management, protection,
and harvest and to aid in the
marketing of forest products with
the goal of making the farm
woods a permanent producing unit
of a balanced, economic farming
enterprise. The Farm Forestry
program is a cooperative project
set-up by the Agricultural Ex
| tension Service and the U. S.
! Forest Service.
| In making ' up an outline to
show how the Farm Forester can
| assist you we have four main
headings, (1) Farm Timber Mar
keting, (2) Management of Farm
Woods (3) Forest Planting and
(4) Forest Protection.
I will discuss each of these
phases individually. Let us start
iwith item 1. Farm Timber Mar
: keting. Few farmers have had
experience in harvesting their
timber systematically or in meas
uring standing trees or logs to
determine their volume or value.
Many lack experience in negotiat
ing timber sales and making con
tracts or in finding markets for
their forest products except
through the local sawmill. There
fore, a great need exists for pub
lic help to farmers and other
owners of small woodlands and
to wood-using industry in develop
ing a systematic program of har
vesting and marketing farm tim
ber which will provide a contin
uous yield of high-quality forest
products and a permanent forest
industry. To provide this mar
keting assistance to farm timber
owners the Farm Woodland Mar
keting Proje t has been organiz
ed.
Under this project the work of
a Farm Forest is:
1. To promote a systematic
harvesting and marketing of
farm timber and to assist in
supplying the timber needs for the
postwar period.
2. To assist farmers and others
in selecting, marking, and meas
uring timber of market size and
quality in a manner to determine
tha volume, provide a systematic
harvest, and maintain the forest
growing stock in a productive
condition.
3. To assist these timber own
ers in finding markets, making
sales, providing sample market
ing contracts, etc., for various
timber products.
4. To assist in developing a
sound working relationship be
tween timber owners and saw
mill operators, pulpwood contrac
tors, and other harvesters and
purchasers of timber.
5. To assist where feasible in
the development of timber mar
keting cooperatives.
Let us now discuss item (2) of
the outline ? Management of Farm
Woods.
North Carolina farmers own
more than 9 million acres of
farm woodland. Through a pro
gram of systematic management
of the growing trees and harvest
of the forest products the farm
woods can be made a profitable,
permanent unit of the farm en
terprise. Your farm forester can
assist you farmers in management
of your farm woods through the
following types of work:
1. Thinning and Stand Improve
ment to relieve overcrowded
stands and to remove dead, crip
pled and diseased trees of the
poorer species, thereby encourag
ing greater growth of the better
quality trees. This type of har
vest would provide the State
farm fuel-wood requirement of
4% million cords annually, as
well as a commercial harvest of
pulpwood. The farm forester will
give information on this type
of cutting and assist farmers In
marking sample areas as demon
strations or patterns for the
farmer to follow.
2. Selective Harvest of Mer
chantable Timber ? The Farm
Forester will assist you in select
ing and marking trees of mer
chantable size and quality for a
harvest of merchantable timber
in such manner as will leave a
good stands of thrifty-growing
trees for succeeding crops.
3. Pruning of open-grown nat
ural stands or planted stands of
pines will aid in producing bet- 1
ter-quality timber. The farm
forester can assist farmers by
giving demonstrations showing
why pruning should be done and
the methods of doing the job.
We now come to the phase in
dicated as Forest Planting. We
plant forest trees to reclaim idle
land, control erosion, and produce
a new timber crop, thereby mak
ing use of abandoned crop land
and reforesting badly cut-over or
burned forest land. The farm for
ester will advise farmers on the
kind of trees to plant according
to location and ' soil conaiuons,
assist him in securing seedlings
from the nurseries, and give in
structions on how to plant the j
trees.
The last phase of assistance to
the farmers has to do with
Forest Protection. We have first
under this heading (1) Forest
Fires ? Protection of the woods
from fire is the first step in tim
ber-growing. Each farmer should
protect his own land by cleaning j
up fire hazards and where need
ed either plow, rake or otherwise
provide firebreaks. The farm
forester can assist farmers in
locating and laying out a system
of firebreaks and give him sug
gestions on constructing them.
It should be pointed out here
that the N. C. Forest Service in
this area has fireline equipment
| which is available to you in three
i different sizes: the small equip
j ment which makes a line . % feet
wide and cost $4 per mile, the
next larger equipment plows a
somewhat wider line for $5 per
[mile and the big equipment plow
ing a line about 8 feet wide is
priced at $6 per mile.
Next under protection is (2)
| Forest Insects ? Much valuable
| timber is often killed by uncon
! trolled outbreaks of forest in
?' sects, especially the pine bark
beetles. The farm forester will
assist farmers in determining the
type and kind of insect outbreaks,
give suggestions for control of
them, and aid in the salvage and
marketing of damaged timber.
The last phase of Protection
has to do with (3). Forest Dis
eases. While diseases may affect
large areas of timber, they usual
ly attack individual trees in most
forest areas, diseased trees should
be cut systematical' to remove
source of infect 'ie 'farm
forester will call i of tim
ber owners to & . trees and
mark them for cutting in all
operations.
Get in touch with your Farm
Forester at the County _ Agent'3
Office and let him help you with
I your timber 'ems.

Question: What does the Hes
sian liy look like ?
Answer: Just examine some
j volunteer wheat that came up
j eariy in the season and pull bacK
tne leaf sneath at the base of the
piant. mere you- will probably
nnd the Hessian fly in the flax
seed stage. James T. Conner, Jr.,
KxEension entomologist at State
College, gives the following dates
for planting wheat: Piedmont,
October 10 to 31, as from north
to south; Coastal Plain, Novem
ber 1 to 10 and Mountains from
September 20 to October 20. Ob
serving these dates will prevent
damage from the Hessian fly and
also give larger yields than when
planted later in the season.
Question: Why don't you re
commend wheat as a temporary
grazing crop?
Answer: Temporary grazing
crops should be planted at just
about this time to give the maxi
mum amount of fall and spring
grazing, according to State Col
lege agronomist. On the other
hand, James T. Conner, Jr., Ex
tension entomologist, says that if
wheat is planted now, it will also
bring a crop of Hessian flies.
They will not only damage the
fall crop of wheat planted now
but they will also damage wheat
next spring ? that which was
planted after the fly-free date.
"Early sown wheat often gives ex
cellent grazing but it's mighty
dangerous to plant it. It may not
only damage your wheat but alao
that of your neighbor? and you
would not want to do that.
Question: Can you give me in
formation about blueberries for
the home garden?
Answer: E. B. Morrow, in re
search on small fruits for the
Agricultural Experiment Station
bt State College, has prepared
just such information for you and
will be glad to send it to you on
request He points out that blue
berries require an acid soil, a
uniform moisture supply, correct
fertilization, and pruning each
year. "The attractive bell-shaped
spring fall flowers, the delicious
fruit, and the brilliant colored
fall foliage make them well worth
a little extra care and attention,"
Morrow says. You can also get
a copy of Farmers Bulletin No.
[ 1951 by writing the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture at Wash
ington, D. C. It is called "Blue
berry Growing." T -

Question: Where may I ohtaia
Information on cutting pulp wood?
Answer: First, see your county
agent. He may give you direct
assistance or he may call in the
Extension farm forester for your
section. Whether your problem la
a sale of timber, selective cutt
ing, or reforestation, these men
will be only too glad to assist
you. Bill Colvin of Wake Forest,
just returned from the Navy,
needed help In cutting pulpwood,
just as you do. He was given
help in selecting his trees and
was also trained in the proper
use of the axe and the bow saw.
An instrument which tranamits

detect flaws in solid materials.
