Trees Are N?wSl|
Bone Contention |j
Dont fight over those tntt,
men! There's mm for everyone la
the lumber game? as long a* folks
are satisfied with mm rather than
all. Mjr* Jim Andersen, State Cal
lage extension forestry specialist.
Andersen says that there's ?
squabble going on between saw
millers and pulpwood people And
the only way to resolve the argu
ment is for the two factions to co
operate a little mora.
Here's bow the argument goes,
according to Anderson:
Pulpwood dealer: "Getting so
you can't find a two-Inch green,
living thing in the piney woods no
more with tbem 'blankety' saw
millers butchering everything
clean down to the sixe of half a
toothpick.''
Sawmiller: "Aint gotn' to be a
stick left after tbem pulp 'pecker
wooden' finish their slaughter.
Won't be in business next year if
I got to put up with their iqeas."
The forestry specialist says
there's more than a grain of truth
on both sides.
As an answer to the problem, be
quoted an authority in "Forestry
Digest" urging lumbermen to sell
small trees to pulpwood people
rather than lose money trying to
make lumber out of them. On the
other hand, the article asked that
small trees of promising quality
snd vigor be grown to sawtlmber
size for maximum profit

Early Feathers ||
Are Good Sign
All poultryman, whether raising
chicken* for broilers or for mar
ket efg product loo, like to see
and aa early aa poasihls It's a sign
of good hf tiling good fifth** and
,R 8. Dearstyne of the State Col
lege poultry science department
says that, although good feather
ing if primarily an Inherited
characteristic. It nay be offset to
a large extent by other factor* en
countered by the ehtek during
earliest period of life.
What are some of the factors
which may react against early and
complete feathering? Deerstyne
says that some include overcrowd
tog. overheating, excessive chil
ling, lack of proper humidity in
the bouse, unbalanced diet, and
certain types of dtsaasss.
Dearstyne says it's especially
important to observe the feather
ing of the birds during the first
six weeks of life. Should they fail
to feather normally, one of two
things must be wrong: either the
feathering inheritance of the
chick is poor or some of the above
mentioned factors of good manage
ment have been violated.
If it's poor -management, cor
rective steps should be taken. If
the fault lies in inheritance of the
chicka, that's "all she wrote." No
thing csn be done.
