Therefore, the na! tion must look to the South foi the bulk of its future wood sup PlyFurthermore, we are favorablj located as to markets. Draw s circle around New York Citj with a radius of 200 miles yoi include 40% of the lumber market in the country. This, in conjunction with our fast growth rate, gives us a decided advantage over other large timber producing states in the south. Such possibilities must not be ignored and such an industrj must be perpetuated. If, however it is to be perpetuated, we can'l continue to neglect one or twc fundamental points?that is fire protection and proper cutting methods. As above stated, we have s state which is approximately 60% woodland. Brunswick and Columbus Counties are not among the largest counties in the state a." to total area but have a woodland area of 412,500 and 499, acI res respectively. Eighty-one percent of the total land area ii Brunswick County is covercc with forest. In Columbus 75% ol the county's total area is wood land. If, therefore, forestry anc its related industries are classec as one of North Carolina's mos! valuable assets it certainly mus be of first importance in the tw< counties mentioned. It is estimated that during th< calendar year 1941 over 100,000, I j 000 bd. ft. of lumber were cut ii | Columbus and Brunswick Coun II ties. In addition to this approxi [ mately 40,000 .units of pulpwoot iwere put on the market. Along '(With this was thousands of hewi I cross-ties, piles, poles, thousand! ! | of cords of fuel wood plus ; number of other products foi miscellaneous uses.

"ACTS CONCERNING FORESTRY INCOME (Continued on page 4) :onvenient comparative figures, rhis, however, does mean some:hing to all of us. North 'Carolina tas operating, within its boundirics today, over 3,000 sawmills, uorc than any State in the U. S. ifou may immediately say that he number of mills means not so iiuch as the amount of cut. All-ight, wc are producing in North Carolina more lumber than any date in the South and exceeded ay only three in the nation, lamely, Washington, Oregon, and California. And North Carolina inti California arc very close together on annual cut. In North Carolina, we are cutting each ,-ear over Billion Bd. Ft. of ,vood into lumber, pulpwood vene;r, dimension stock, etc. This is exclusive of a cut of over 1 milion hewn cross-ties, Va millor soles and piles, some 5 million :ords of fuel wood plus a number of other products such as shuttles and wood for miscellaneous farm use. In other words, we :an say without reservations that ,ve have here in North Carolina one of the finest potential timoer store-houses on the face of :he Globe. Such production, as you know, oiust involve an enormous pay oll. It is estimated that the priuary industries alone carry an innual payroll of over 15,000,000, In other words, this is the insome from the employment necessary to put the lumber, veneer, rulpwood, etc., on the yard, so :o speak. It does not include the housands employed in wood-usng plants such as furniture factories, paper mills, box factories, stc. Nature has favored North Car)lina in the possibilities of sapitalizing on our forestry resources. Our climate and land is such that our timber grows rapidly. We have very little land that will not support good timbei growth. With our long growing season and rainfall, timber grows faster in North Carolina and ir N01 r I will be al (irom lire, is cAcccumg wu 1 growth.

In fact, we have 1 sufficient growing stock to prevent our wood-using industries to expend. 1 The average acre of the 412, 500 acres in Brunswick county is valued at approximately $10 on your county tax books. With a ' j tax rate of $1.60 these 412,500 ' \ acres of woodlands pay to your county in taxes annually. : In Columbus County, the aver1 age acre of timberland is valued ' | at approximately S6.00. Here again with a tax rate of 1.35, the [County's 449,800 acres of forest i land pays to the county annually 137,783.00 in taxes. j The above figures do not in elude the taxes paid on industries s dependent on forest lands, trans portation facilities etc. but tax cs paid on stumpage value only, j Our national defense program and outcome of the war in which 1 we arc engaged arc to no small f extent dependent on our forest resources.
