Pulpwood Hits
High In State
Pulpwood production reached a
new record high in North Carolina
during 1059, says R. S. Douglass,
State College extension forestry
specialist.
The total harvested increased
10.7 per cent in the South with a
4.4 per cent increase in the Tar
Heel State. .
Douglass says that an increase in
pulpwood cutting was necessary to
supply the demand for paper and
other things such as rayon, acetate,
and other plastics made of wood
pulp.
Douglass explains tlyat this trend
to more wood use means North
Carolina fanners must do a better
job of producing timber to assure
a plentiful supply of material.
