FORESTRtAVOBK.OF.. v :.ri GliOLOUlCAL SURVEY BY JOSEPH HYDK PTIATT STATE t' , . GEOIAMilST, , t The. forestry work that Is being done by the North Carolina geological and economic survey , has been stimu lated by the' belief that there 13 large area.- in Korth Carolina, which is better suited for the growth of timber than for farming. , It Isalso believed that these forest lands form n. f th stata'a most valuable per mauent assets and are not -only cap able of returning steaayv w re'"" " erative earning to taeir wwnera, are also capable ot supporting oxten slve permaaent Investment In furnlt ture, factorlea, tanning plants, paper mills and other -. industries 4 vtHlsing - a vi.in tha forestry indus try In the State in this way means that the forest will bo permanent ana m income derived from it wilt be perma nent, secured primarily by the growth a. timhi on 'the land. - - ; rn at tha firat lines of invest! ga llon that has been under: taken 1 the separation of those land 8f,ine ou that are best suited. or forest from thode that are better adapted for' aricultural purpose, s . The ; su rvey realizes that educational work la very necessary and' must be an important part of a movement to get land own ers to; take ,thi point of - view; ,r; gardlnjt foreAs-- '? y? ? One of the greatest dangers to cut over lands is forest fires and owners of timber land - are urged to : adopt methods which" will- protest . these lands against fires; to aid in the en forcement of the present law and to secure a more adequate' one. , The existing forest fire law Is not suited for present ' conditions. Although North Carolina has. not suffered any heavy losses from forest fire during the pant year. Birch as have occurred In the Northern 6tates, yet It will be lust a exposed to forest fires dur ing a dry year. This is. particularly true in those portions of the. State where cutting of the timber has been w. kIu. and where the amount of tops snd brush left after lumbering is very large, xne narawwa i iu western part of the State Is more se riously injured by Area after lumber in? than the pines of the eastern sec tion of the State. . The geological survey is also urging owners of Umber land to apply busi ness methods in managing these so a in inncAM the productivity of their properties. ' Under ordinary mothotla of lumbering, every consid eration la subordinated to cheapening the cost 6f lodging, If timber lands, however, are to be made permanently nrodiiftlve. lumberins; must- bo con ducted so as not to Injure the young trees which form the basis for the successive cuttings;, and it is also nec-e-ry to employ method of cutting v hivn w ill Incrwe the quantltv of t.';s t.r.ier of t'k- future cuttings, .
