Says More Than 20,000 Homes - Are Burned Farmers and timber owners in North Carolina burn more than 20,000 homes each year ? that's the way R. W. Graeber, in charge of Forestry Extension for State College, pictures the haphazard harvesting of this valuable crop. The Forest Survey of the South eastern Forest Experiment Station, Asheville, reports that for the year 1943 farmers and timber owners of North Carolina cut and burned as fuel wood "timber of lumber size and quality" amounting to 481.600,000 board feet. Graeber says that it requires approximate ly 22,500 board feet of lumber to build a standard six-room frame house containing 1,250 square feet of floor space. "Now. take your pcncil and figure for yourself." he suggests. "You will find that this amount of lumber wil build 21.404 six-room houses. Likewise, the pulp and paper industry in 1943 consumed 139,600.000 board feet of timber of lumber size and quality taken from the North Caro lina forests. This, again, is equiv alent to 6.204 standard six-room houses. Sure, it's appalling in the face of the demand for building material for housing and other construction. This is especially true when we realize that this type of timber is not needed for fuel or pulp. The present demand is for approxi mately 900.000 cords of pulpwood and 6.000,000 cords of fuel wood. A systematic harvest of cull trees, thinnings, and salvage of tree tops from sawtimber operations will yield approximately 10.000.000 cords annually. This is 45 per ccnt above the present demand for fuel and pulpwood. This type of harvest will also promote faster growth on trees of sawtimber quality. "The indications are that there will be a heavy demand for lum ber and other sawtimber products during the next ten years, even greater than the supply. We can help meet this growing demand by growing more timber. We can grow more timber by allowing sawtimber trees to reach larger size and by cutting fuel wood and pulpwood from the inferior trees." ATTENDS SISTER'S FI'NERAL IN PENNA. C. R. Freed left Tuesday for York. Pa., to attend the funeral of his sister, Miss Jennie Freed, 70, who died Sunday in a hospital in York after several months of ill ness. She is survived by one sister and three brothers.
