Farm Forester Can Render Valuable Help To Farmers Barnes Discusses Assistance Forester Can Render Un der Four Main Head ings BY W. W. BARNES District Farm Forester This article has to do with the work of a Farm Forester, what his duties are and how he can assist you. The work of a Farm Forester is to assist farmers in develop ing a systematic program of forest management, protection, and harvest and to aid in the marketing of forest products with the goal of making the farm woods a permanent producing unit of a balanced, economic farming enterprise. The Farm Forestry program is a cooperative project set-up by the Agricultural Ex | tension Service and the U. S. ! Forest Service. | In making ' up an outline to show how the Farm Forester can | assist you we have four main headings, (1) Farm Timber Mar keting, (2) Management of Farm Woods (3) Forest Planting and (4) Forest Protection. I will discuss each of these phases individually. Let us start iwith item 1. Farm Timber Mar : keting. Few farmers have had experience in harvesting their timber systematically or in meas uring standing trees or logs to determine their volume or value. Many lack experience in negotiat ing timber sales and making con tracts or in finding markets for their forest products except through the local sawmill. There fore, a great need exists for pub lic help to farmers and other owners of small woodlands and to wood-using industry in develop ing a systematic program of har vesting and marketing farm tim ber which will provide a contin uous yield of high-quality forest products and a permanent forest industry. To provide this mar keting assistance to farm timber owners the Farm Woodland Mar keting Proje t has been organiz ed. Under this project the work of a Farm Forest is: 1. To promote a systematic harvesting and marketing of farm timber and to assist in supplying the timber needs for the postwar period. 2. To assist farmers and others in selecting, marking, and meas uring timber of market size and quality in a manner to determine tha volume, provide a systematic harvest, and maintain the forest growing stock in a productive condition. 3. To assist these timber own ers in finding markets, making sales, providing sample market ing contracts, etc., for various timber products. 4. To assist in developing a sound working relationship be tween timber owners and saw mill operators, pulpwood contrac tors, and other harvesters and purchasers of timber. 5. To assist where feasible in the development of timber mar keting cooperatives. Let us now discuss item (2) of the outline ? Management of Farm Woods. North Carolina farmers own more than 9 million acres of farm woodland. Through a pro gram of systematic management of the growing trees and harvest of the forest products the farm woods can be made a profitable, permanent unit of the farm en terprise. Your farm forester can assist you farmers in management of your farm woods through the following types of work: 1. Thinning and Stand Improve ment to relieve overcrowded stands and to remove dead, crip pled and diseased trees of the poorer species, thereby encourag ing greater growth of the better quality trees. This type of har vest would provide the State farm fuel-wood requirement of 4% million cords annually, as well as a commercial harvest of pulpwood. The farm forester will give information on this type of cutting and assist farmers In marking sample areas as demon strations or patterns for the farmer to follow. 2. Selective Harvest of Mer chantable Timber ? The Farm Forester will assist you in select ing and marking trees of mer chantable size and quality for a harvest of merchantable timber in such manner as will leave a good stands of thrifty-growing trees for succeeding crops. 3. Pruning of open-grown nat ural stands or planted stands of pines will aid in producing bet- 1 ter-quality timber. The farm forester can assist farmers by giving demonstrations showing why pruning should be done and the methods of doing the job. We now come to the phase in dicated as Forest Planting. We plant forest trees to reclaim idle land, control erosion, and produce a new timber crop, thereby mak ing use of abandoned crop land and reforesting badly cut-over or burned forest land. The farm for ester will advise farmers on the kind of trees to plant according to location and ' soil conaiuons, assist him in securing seedlings from the nurseries, and give in structions on how to plant the j trees. The last phase of assistance to the farmers has to do with Forest Protection. We have first under this heading (1) Forest Fires ? Protection of the woods from fire is the first step in tim ber-growing. Each farmer should protect his own land by cleaning j up fire hazards and where need ed either plow, rake or otherwise provide firebreaks. The farm forester can assist farmers in locating and laying out a system of firebreaks and give him sug gestions on constructing them. It should be pointed out here that the N. C. Forest Service in this area has fireline equipment | which is available to you in three i different sizes: the small equip j ment which makes a line . % feet wide and cost $4 per mile, the next larger equipment plows a somewhat wider line for $5 per [mile and the big equipment plow ing a line about 8 feet wide is priced at $6 per mile. Next under protection is (2) | Forest Insects ? Much valuable | timber is often killed by uncon ! trolled outbreaks of forest in ?' sects, especially the pine bark beetles. The farm forester will assist farmers in determining the type and kind of insect outbreaks, give suggestions for control of them, and aid in the salvage and marketing of damaged timber. The last phase of Protection has to do with (3). Forest Dis eases. While diseases may affect large areas of timber, they usual ly attack individual trees in most forest areas, diseased trees should be cut systematical' to remove source of infect 'ie 'farm forester will call i of tim ber owners to & . trees and mark them for cutting in all operations. Get in touch with your Farm Forester at the County _ Agent'3 Office and let him help you with I your timber 'ems.

Answer: Just examine some j volunteer wheat that came up j eariy in the season and pull bacK tne leaf sneath at the base of the piant. mere you- will probably nnd the Hessian fly in the flax seed stage. James T. Conner, Jr., KxEension entomologist at State College, gives the following dates for planting wheat: Piedmont, October 10 to 31, as from north to south; Coastal Plain, Novem ber 1 to 10 and Mountains from September 20 to October 20. Ob serving these dates will prevent damage from the Hessian fly and also give larger yields than when planted later in the season. Question: Why don't you re commend wheat as a temporary grazing crop? Answer: Temporary grazing crops should be planted at just about this time to give the maxi mum amount of fall and spring grazing, according to State Col lege agronomist. On the other hand, James T. Conner, Jr., Ex tension entomologist, says that if wheat is planted now, it will also bring a crop of Hessian flies. They will not only damage the fall crop of wheat planted now but they will also damage wheat next spring ? that which was planted after the fly-free date. "Early sown wheat often gives ex cellent grazing but it's mighty dangerous to plant it. It may not only damage your wheat but alao that of your neighbor? and you would not want to do that. Question: Can you give me in formation about blueberries for the home garden? Answer: E. B. Morrow, in re search on small fruits for the Agricultural Experiment Station bt State College, has prepared just such information for you and will be glad to send it to you on request He points out that blue berries require an acid soil, a uniform moisture supply, correct fertilization, and pruning each year. "The attractive bell-shaped spring fall flowers, the delicious fruit, and the brilliant colored fall foliage make them well worth a little extra care and attention," Morrow says. You can also get a copy of Farmers Bulletin No. [ 1951 by writing the U. S. De partment of Agriculture at Wash ington, D. C. It is called "Blue berry Growing." T - I Question: Where may I ohtaia Information on cutting pulp wood? Answer: First, see your county agent. He may give you direct assistance or he may call in the Extension farm forester for your section. Whether your problem la a sale of timber, selective cutt ing, or reforestation, these men will be only too glad to assist you. Bill Colvin of Wake Forest, just returned from the Navy, needed help In cutting pulpwood, just as you do. He was given help in selecting his trees and was also trained in the proper use of the axe and the bow saw. An instrument which tranamits short sound Impulses is used to detect flaws in solid materials. From where I sit ... fy Joe Marsh Want a Vacation from Marriage?
