Stmieiitf Oioeen for For-
Qgtry Study
R. D. Smith, Bub-chainnan of
the WUkee Chamber of Oom-
mm» Agricaltnre Committee an-
nonneed today that the cham-
bor and tho Ehitension Servlco
would hold a Wilkes Foreetry
Field Day on December 4th. ^
“This project has been plann
ed .In line with the Wilkes
iCBuunber of Commerce policy of
(building eivery economic factor
which has any bearing on the
wealth of Wilkes County, Smith
said. “One of the first stops in
growing good crop of timber
Is, of course, to have trees of a
good timber variety. Unfortun
ately too often In the past Httle
thought had been given to the
future composition of our for
ests and as a result our present
woodlands are often, composed
of mostly weed trees."
’The Wilkes Chamiber of Com
merce, together with the Exten
sion Service are planning to help
correct this situation in WUkee
County by holding a Forestry
Field Day this coming Decem
ber 4th tor a selected group of
fifty-two Wilkes County school
boys fourteen years and older.
Mr. R. W. Graeher, State Exten
sion Forester, will 'be In charge
of the one-day forestry school to
be held in a local woodland. The
boys wUI split Into groups and
rotate from one Instructor to tho
next. They will be shown tho
proper way to thin young timber,
how to scale and estimate vol
umes of standing tlmber, how to
selectively cut a stand of saw
timber along with other proper
forestry practices. At the field
prizes will be an Indian nre
Pump which has been donated
by the manufacturer, D. B.
Smith and Company of Utica, N.
Y. The prizes will be on ex
hibit at the Chamber of Com
merce.
All the hoys selected to attend
the Forestry Field Day will be
eligible to receive one thousand
tree seedlings which will be do
nated by the Wilkes Chamber of
Commerce, provdled boys have
a place to plant the trees and
also receive permission from
their parents to plant the seed
lings; then in the Fall of 1947
the hoy who has the highest
survival of the trees he planted
will receive a prize.
The boys were selected by a
