WASTE OF VAST HERITAGE
(Concluded from page nine)
Mr. Xante W. Tuft lleturn
Mrs. James W. Tufts of Medford is at
the Arbutus cottage for the season.
a big old field where the pines are half
grown is hard to beat when it comes to
attractive winter scenery. A walk through
the old pine groves with the straw a per
fect carpeting as far as the eye can see,
and the entire sky a covering of green,
leaves a picture that the Northern visitor
carries away to remember many a year.
It is doubtful if there is anywhere a more
alluring forest setting than the young
pine forests of the Sandhills. They con
stitute probably the really picturesque
features of the country drives. They give
to the villages the most attractive set
tings. One of the most impressive cor
ners of Pinehurst is the pine grove. No
visitor ever goes over to Raeford without
noticing at once the pines all around and
through the pleasant little town. The
pines on the Carthage road, around South
ern Pines, out the Jackson Springs road
and any other place where pine trees are
coming up, make those places interesting
for the visitor and for the people who live
here. H The saw mill as a big institution
in this section has gone forever. Little
mills will move about from place to place
from time to time and cut out the small
lots of pine timber that are coming on to
be big enough for the saw, but as settlers
come the forests will continue to decrease
in size rather than to increase although
intelligent action may someday take up
forestry on a systematic scale and see that
limited areas of pine trees are encouraged
for lumber purposes. For while lumber
is a picturesque crop, and useful if you
have the crop ready to harvest, it is a
cold fact that it is too slow a crop to
raise unless you are in the mill business
and must provide a supply. A crop of
pine trees is worth about as much as a
crop of corn or cotton, and may be not
hardly. You get one crop of pine in a
lifetime, but you can get a crop of some
thing else every year. That is what puts
the death knell on pine trees as a farm
product. The crop that stands on the
ground forty years does not offer an in
centive for diversification, such as the
agricultural authorities recommend in the
present day farm practice. H In spite of
all this it is a pleasing sight to stand on
the hill top and look across the valley ana
see the big pine forests in the distance,
for in the distance the scattered trees
stand up close enough against the hori
zon to appear a solid mass, and in their
dense deep green the picture is one of
somber repose and dignity. The hazy
picture is a suggestion of what the pine
forest was in its primitive grandeur, when
it would stand close inspection and when
it was not obliged to leave anything to
the imagination. Bion H. Butler.
