enentlal that the war should not
be used as an excuse for destruc-
tlre methods of cuttbag. Our
goremment urges that ooly timber
stands that are ready to be
marketed be cut now and not
stands that are just reaching the
stage of best growth.
We have got to boat the Axis;
and the sooner the better; hut we
must also think of the'futUr6 of
our nation In the years' after the
war is won. This * Is .'^spepially
•bvious In our section of. North.
Carolina where timber is one of
the major farm crops. \
Owners of mature timber can
help win the war by marketing
their timber now- This, is not
only the patriotic thing, to do but
also the best thing for the owner
from a financial standpoint. Tim
ber, like any other crop, should
be marketed as it matures and
not be held over to become detec
tive.
The cutting of young timber
should n >t be discouraged where
care Is taken to leave*w-staad ofj
growing timber on'the-ground. A
large proportion of the^wofl'dlands
through this section of North
Carolinn would be helped rather
than damaged through logging
ont part of the timber. Stand.s
thrt are thinned enough to! allow
fest growth of the remaining
trees may put on just as much
wood per acre as the entire .stand
would have if not thinned. How
ever, this is surely not the case
where only stunted, oxooked. and
defective trees are left standing.

It takes healthy, stnaight bodied,
full topped trees to produce good
Umber rapidly; so that is the
type of tree that is most profita
ble to be left standing. There is
no doubt that forest lands like
agriculture lands will respond to
proper methods of mamagement
with increased production.
Lumber, of cqurse. is the wood
products most widely used and
needed in the largest quantities
now to co|iduct the \v~ar. It is
needed in filmost every war imlu.s-
try from .Iniilding ships to pack
ing foo(^. * It is estimated that
over H/liillioii hoard feet of lum-
ber w^ be required this yo.ir fo.j’
shipping containers alone.
PyTlar such as some of the
lar^r clean-bodied trees of this
loMlity are now badly needed tor
vTOeer and lumber for airplane

/ Piilpwood is needed in I-arg"
quantitie.s for a wide range of pro
ducts both for the war and to take
the place of metals in products
used at home.
Cross-ties are needed to keep
our railroad lines in repiair to
meet the demands of the present
heavy traffic.
Hickbry dimension stock used
in making : handles for tools on
the f?rm, in the factorie.s and on
the fighting fronts are needed in
larger quatities.
Walnut timber used in making
gnnstocks. aircraft lumber and
veneer is critically needed.
There are many other wood
products required to help win the
war. Owners of timber thrt can

'Varmers of this .sectiou can make
ja good contribution to our war
effort and. at the same time, earn
extra money for them.selv-'s by
.s"wing out their own timlier when
the weather does not permit oth
er form work. This is especiallv
true during the winter when logs
can be: accumulated for several
months' w'lthout danger of insect
damage. AH labor contributed by
thq farmer will lessen the load on
the sawmill crews. In some in
stances the so.wmill crews are
now so small that the mills have
to be shut down while the mill
hands do the cutting and logging.
Every bit that the farther cm do
to keep these mills running will
help that much to meet the urgent
demand for lumber.

Poultry and eggs are especially
helpful in a meat shortage. A
family with its own chickens and
eggs is sure of its own -protein
food and helps ease the demand

men, who grew’ up on farms and
know how to raise poultry, can
be of the greatest help in the
country’s food situation this yeai,
if they will turn to raising chick

Count on 10 chicks for each
member of your family w'hen you
order your 'haby chicks this
.spring. But before you get your
chicks, make the right prepara
tion for housing, "eeding, water

helpful in many hou.seholds.

placed in thi? section to work
with the county agenU in Wilkes,
Surry and Yadkin counties. His
primary duty is to help woodland
owners find a good market for
their various types of timber now
ready for cutting and to encour
age the conservation of good
growing stock for future timber
crops. He Is also expected to help
timber owners and buyers where
’possible with any other problem
related to timber growing or
marketing.
Since the Farm Forester has
been stationed here, he has bqpn
working with woodland owners in
the following ways: (1) Estimate
volumes of standing timber. (2)
Help owners mark and scale tim-
5her to be cut selectively. (8) Hein
^ark young stands for pulpwood
aad fuelwood thinning. (4) Find
mai’kets for timber. (5) Examine
'woodlands with owners and make
recommenflatlons in regard to ad
visability of cutting. (6) Make
appraisals' of sleet-damaged thn-

wasted travel on the part of the
buyers.
Timber owners can do their
part in some of the following
ways:
1. Market mature timber.
2. Market crowded young
stands of timber through selec
tive cuttings.
3. Help with cutting and log
ging so as to overcome the labor
shortage.
4. Cut out and sell logs dar
ing slack periods where mature
trees are too few or scattered to
justify a sawmill operation.
5. Cut out and sell special
products such as veneer blocks,
handle stock and wainpt logs for
gunstocks.
6. Thin out yonng stands and
sell pulpwood.' •
7. Cut fnelwood for market
from tree laps, crocked trees and
diseased trees.
8. Prevent wood fires and help
extinguish fires that may get
started.
