I can sec my mistake now." i, in stated a Caldwell County farmer to td in County Agent P. M. Hendricks and s of the Extension Forester, in discussing wid- the cutting of four white pine seed eiti- trees; He further said. "It makes me wait feel ashamed of myself when I think the that those four trees were worth oniy is it|about $2.00 each for lumber, and try's| here you have shown me that bad I hose left I lie ill ataSil * ng for another teii| al- or fifteen years they would have later completely seeded this forty acres of and | woodland to a good stand of white inxir-1 pine. The above statetheirt was made afhose ter the County Agent and this I armthus er had inspected a tract of dry ridge the woodland upon which there was a ock- growth of mixed hardwood of rather nous poor type. All of the better trees his had been cut. A scattering stand of l in young white pines, ranging in age ? in- from three to fifteen years, was observed. Not seeing the source from pve- which the seed had come, an inquiry the was made. The farmer said. "Why the I cut a few white pines at the time end- the other timber was cut." Upon intend vqsitigation we found the stumps of the four of these trees which had just nier reached a g?^od seed-bearing age. and had apparently borne three crops of seed at intervals of three to ,five ~ i years. tEE What this Caldwell farmer did is being done by hundreds of farmers ood throughout Western North Carolina. , The white pine is gradually spreading over the Mountain and Upper rom Piedmont sections, and these isolated fteit- trees scattered through the mixed less hardwood forests arc just the fore?Po_ runners of thick pine forests?if the landowners will recoernize the fact \*sl> anc' protect the in. White pines are lost growing naturally as far east tore as 11 "nc running 1\wi,y0 Danbury, f Vaffiinvjille, Statesville, Hickory to T ^ ^ Rulhorfordt.on. c ,w Man should co-operate with nature by leaving and protecting these seed trees as fore-runners of progress, and go further by planting white pines en wasre or abandoned. fields. c?spefl riallv on high ridges or other exposed sites. When such plantings reach a seed-bearing age the wind would carry seed to adjacent fields and forest areas. em- White pines usually reach the nge own of 10 to 50 years before they prol^e duce a good crop of seen. Seen! crops at- are produced at intervals of three to seven years, depending upon richness of the soil, growth and vigor of the individual trees; as well as upon climatic conditions. On most sites the white pine needs some cover for regeneration. Upon observation, in the region referred to, you will find many areas of hardwood in which there is a good reproduction of white pine coming in. This applies especially to the dry ridge sites, which are now k j occupied b> scarlet or Spanish oak, ? black oak, sourwood. etc. After the (P pine gets started it should be encouraged by the gradual removal of the poorer hardwoods. Farmers can euuveit urns low-gruue wood into lire y?.;- wood for home use. By the time the V nines need the full use of the land, the better of the large hardwoods will be ready for harvest as a commercial crop. JUDGE PARKER URGED TO RUN FOR U. S.
