I\ew 4-II Club Awards Stress Farm Forestry farm OWNERS 30% OTHER SMALL OWNERS 27% LARGE OWNERS | 18% PUBLIC 25% The importance of 1 I farm forestry in\ America is stressed by > the fact that farmers ! own the greatest single share of com - i mercial woodlands. A i-II club forestry proj ect, symbolized hy the young man planting a seedling , offers wards to spur inter- k - st in farm forestry, fl J he'stake of farm boys and girls in the woodlands of this state, and of America as a whole, is empha sized by n ?w national and state awards for a 4-11 club project in forestry, which include medals for state winnet , and scholarships and trips for regional winners. Four-H club members in this community, interested in forestry, are eligible to compete for these awards which include: A gold medal for the state winner. One of four regional $200 cash scholarships. One of four trips to the next 4-H club congress in Chi cago. The four areas in which regional awards are being made are the West, South. Central states and Northeast. ? The sponsor for these awards is the American Forest Products In dustries, a national association of lumber, pulp and paper, plywood and other forest industries. "(iooti forest practices on the na tion's farms are of major impor tance," declares Col. William B. Greeley, chairman of the Ameri can Forest Products Industries. "Farmers own a greater share of the nation's woodlands than any other group. With our uses for wood increasing almost daily, we must see to it that our harvests of trees are sufficient to meet the needs of our growing population. This means markets for wood, and this means greater and permanent ( opportunities for farmers who i manage their woodlands for con- I tinuing forest crops." National surveys show that' farmers own 80 per cent of the nation's 4(>0 million acres of com mercial forest land. Other owners of small tracts own 27 per cent. Medium and large owners have about 18 per cent of the total, and the public owns about 25 per cent. I Information about the 4-H club forestry project may be obtained from vour countv extension iirent toward picking riper and p re-cool - ing before shipping.
