Harvest Pulpwood Selective Cuttings Uncle Sam has asked all North Carolina farmers to join in a program which would step up the production of pulpwood to fifteen million tons in 1943. R. W. Grae ber, extension forester at N. C. State College, says that those who take a part in this national pro gram should practice selective cutting because it is desirable un der most conditions and because this method of handling the wood land provides more frequent cut ting and larger cash returns over a period of years than does clear cutting. “It is important to know what types of trees to take out in cut ting pulpwood,” Graeber said. “It is also important to cut the tim ber stand properly. The key to a productive forest is to maintain a good growing stock. Always leave a good stand of trees.” All trees which are to be taken out should be carefully marked and especially so where the job of harvesting is to be turned over to others. If a grower is not familiar with timber marketing he should see his county agent or consult with the regional forester. Sometimes it is best to remove several timber products, such as saw-logs, poles and pulpwood, at one operation. Roman soldiers wore heavy hob nailed sandals during their cam paigns. 's Do the RIGHT!
