FEH&ITARY in ma '59 Crop Income Up But Livestock Down Soys County Report One million and a halt more dollars were realized by Coj lumbus County farmers in 195» for their crops than in the pre vious jear. Whereas farmers total crop income reached a $24, 037.372 figure last year compared to $22,495,983 of 1958, peanut and sweet potato income took a downward dive. Figures releasee! by County Agent C. D. Raper's office show ed that 5,250 acres ot sweet potatoes brought farmers $1,300,000, a decrease of about $500,000 from 1958. Peanut acreage of 3,800 yielded $500,000—$20,000 less than was grossed in 1958. Tobatco, with 16,127.08 acres grown, brought farmers $19, 281,924 in 1959; in 1958 they sold $18,059,383 in the leaf. Said Raper, "It should be noted that the 1959 average was 1,941 pounds per acre and the price was $61.00 per 100 pounds. In 1958 the yield rigure was 1,883 and the unit price was $61.60 per 100 pounds." Η·.· explained, "That will account for some of the difference in tobacco income." "Another note that should be made is that in 1959 we had 2,209.3 acres of cotton compared to 1,200 in 1958." One reason for the increased acreage was the lack of soil bank payments in 1959 as there were the previous year, the county agent conject ured.

Last year local pulp men shipped enough wood to fashion approximately 90,000 tons of paper. Pulp Industry Aids Tabor City Economy The wood industry has lonf been dependable source of reve nue for landowners of Columbui an<l Horry counties, and witt the growth of the paper indust ry, pulpwood is sharing the ec onomic importance with lumbei and other wood derivities. Punctuating this progress loc ally was the establishment of < Cape Fear Wood Corporatior yard in Tabor City two yean ago The local pulpwood yar, al though owned by Riegel Papel Corp., is co-operated by Taboi City Lumber Co. ano ^epe Feai Woort Corp The growing success of th< enterprise was proved in 195) when approximately 18,001 cordi of pulp wood were shippet from Tabor City. According t< County Agent C. D. Raper thli would be representative of ap' proximately $150,000 to land owners who sold the trees, prob ably $15,000 In labor, and pots! bly 125-30,000.00 profit for Cap Tear Wood Corp All pulpwood shipped from ! Tabor City is routed to Riegel Wood Corp., according to Jam« Brice. manager of operations Brice. a Pender County native lias been in the timber business IiilI of his adult life and has lieec in Tabor City for 22 years. Ronald Hammond, a Nichols S C . resident, joined the Cap< Fear Wood staff in October {1959 He is a graduate of th< State Forest Ranger School ο ithe University of Florida. Hi duties include cruising, markini iand negotiations. - Neither tfce County Agent no ' Brice think that the supply c ι pulpwood will ever be exhaust lied, although Approximately 20. 1,000 more cord» are cut eacl ι year in the county. Both mei ι endorse the government's effort to get landowners to plant mori trees to replace those which hav< been cut away. Trees may t> ordered through Raper's White ■ι vllle office for M-2!t per thou» and . Said Κ. C. Sanders, owner of Tabor City Lumber company, hop«· that the pulpwood market will «row here in this area, and we want farmers to realize that their forest crops are just as finportant as field crops." Speaking of the practice lof transplanting young trees in great quantities, Sanders said that a crop may be thinned from 12-15 years after planted, and in 22-25 years the ultimate harvest can be completed. The lumber man said that he plans to plant about 500 acres of young tree« himself this year. Cape Fear Wood Corp. furn | Ishes farmers with free forestry service as well as purchase their ' pines, poplars, oaks, and species 'r of gums. As the company enter» _ its third year in Tabor City, ! Brice anticipates even greater ! growth of the industry than was witnessed in 1959. •j fi According to a Riegal spokes man. the 13,090 cords of pulp wood furnished from Tabor City nin 1959 probably yielded nine ι thousand tons of paper. Riagel »•purchases about 1300 cords of »Iwood daily, of which approxl • matcly two-thirds is pine and ι the remainder hardwood. The > Acme industry buys about $7 • million dollars worth of pulp wood annually.
