E. BLANCHARD, \ Farm Forester [ Due to the shortage of labor in the woods the necessary cut of pulpwood has fallen far behind schedule an<* omess there is an increase in production, paper and ' other pulpwood products will be ! rationed. 1 In cooperation with the various 1 pulpwood buyers in this section,! a schedule has been worked out I whereby every farmer can ai?A 1 himself and the war effort in the coming months by cutting pulpwood on his own or his neighbor's land. The nriee he will receive de- F pends on the location of his tim-j ber. If a farmer can cut his timber himself and haul it to the I railroad, he will be paid $7.10 per cord or $8.87 per unit f. o. b.1 1 cars. [0 However, if he would prefer to h ' sell his pulpwood placed beside the road, he will be paid the fol-j lowing prices depending on the,fl 1 distance he lives from a railroad (f: siding or barge landing. j Hauling Price Price f Distance Per Cord Per Unit e 0-5 miles $4.60 $5.75 5-10 miles $4.10 , $5.12 c 10-15 miles $3.60 $4.5010 In addition, a bonus of 5 per|e cent will be paid to all men who) produce as much as 25 cords per f< week. Wood will be measured and c paid for each week. Any owner !n who can work four men in the!" woods can easily earn this bonus each week. ' The following system is recom-, mended for the average cutting *operation. Select the trees to be : n cut1 and mark them ahead of the 1 n cutting crews. Cut the trees down Iv and cut the top off where it is < approximately four inches thick. * Skid entire tree to the truck loading place. Cut the tree up into lengths of five feet. Stack so that the wood can be readily tj measured. Stacks do not have to a be any definite length or heighth. A stack of wood 4 feet high, 8 feet long and 5 feet wide contains one and one fourth cords 0 or one unit. Any farmer that is interested ? " n in cutting his land oVar in a u selective manner so that he will ^ leave a good growth of trees for future cutting or who desires ad- tj ditional information on this pro- f( gram should get in touch with the Farm Forester at the County h Agent's Office.
