^ From U. S. Treasury
Receipts From Southern Forests
Increase 26 percent Past Year
Cash receipts of $2,960,325 were
realized by National Forests of
the Southern Region during fiscal
year 1944. which ended June 30.
Joseph C. Kircher. Regional For
ester, reports.
The amount, a 26.7 percent in- ;
crease over receipts for fiscal year
1943. and a 121 percent higher
return t: an in fiscal year 1942.
reflects the V. S. For^'t Service's
curreiu policy of lnanihg* avail
able as much timber and forest
products as possible for war needs
of the Nation.
While timber sales operations j
are being conducted on a vastly
expanded scale compared to pre
war years. Mr. Kircher pointed
cut that the cutting is being done
cn a selective basis, which retains
an ample growing stock to insure
the future productivity of the
forests.
Of the twenty-four National
Forests in eleven Southern States,
the Ouachita in Arkansas led in
timber cut with just under 50
million board feet with a value of
$818,582: the Nantahala in North
Carolina was second in volume
with 48.627.000 board feet cut,
though the receipts totaled only
$188,395. oecause a large part of
the cut was low value timber.
T ie Ouachita is the largest Na
tional Forest in the South and -
contains a large quantity of old- <
growth timber.
Of special interest were the
mounting sales from some of the
National Forests in the Coastal
Plain. Acquired some years ago
to serve as demonstrations, these
^re.s are now producing ^mer
chantable timber as a result of j
kood management practices coup
led with improved fire protection.
The Kisatchie Forest in Louisiana,
i for instance, produced 25.615.000
I feet with a value of $208,922: the
Francis Marion in South Caro
t hna cut 12.240.000 feet worth
S126.785: the Davy Crockett in
Texas cut 16.170.000 feet valued
j at $180,248. and on the Apalachi
! cola. Ocala and Osceola in Flori
( da there was a combined cut of
3C.504.000 feet worth $161,927.
Each of these CoasUil Plain forests
contains large areas of immature
j stands which will provide an in
! creased annual cut when they
; :each merchantable size within
i he next few years.
|
Included in the over-all regional
j income figure is $155,266 worth
of timber exchanged for land to
be added to the National Forests.
