Destruction mortality accounts
or 13 percent of the drain on
iving timber in the South, says
t. W. Greaber, Extension forster
of N. C. State College. The
estructive forces are chiefly
ire, insects, disease and wind.
"Timber farming is a great
ndustry in the Southern states",
Ireaber said, "but it can be a
reater and higher income-prolucing
industry if care is taken
o control destructive forces.
Recent data compiled by the
J. S. Forest Service and other
gencies shows that 40 percent
f the timber used in the South
s made into lumber. Another 29
ercent goes for fuel wood, 4
lercent for hewed cross ties, 4
ercent for pulpwood, 3 percent
or fence posts, and 7 percent
or other uses by man.

Other points in progressive ?

(1) Have you made an effort S
to stop fires from reaching your
land from adjoining property?
(2) Do you cooperate with your

trolling fires? (3) Have you Tiad t0
your land posted against hunt- s.
ing, fishing and camping with- de

move damaged trees and thereby b;
