? proper management. This would
give you $350 to $500 more in
come from your farm and not
Interfere In any way with your
crops and livestock.
There are several things to be
considered In managing a farm
woodlot properly. (1) The right
type of species should be one
of the first things to consider.
- White oak, poplar and walnut
are good hardwood species, but
require from good to a very
e fertile soil to make their best
1 growth. Short leaf and white
p pine are good soft woods and
? make good growth on poorer
soils. These should be consider
1 ed for land not suitable for
'? crops or pasture. If you have
e doubts as to what to plant,
1 whether to interplant or wheth
er to clear, cut, and replant,
1 the extension forestry specialist
r will be glad to help you plan
1 your woodland. (2) Thinning
1 and removal of mature trees is
' I another factor to consider in
[ woodland management. When
| stands become 12 to 15 years
, old, especially set softwood
stands, they begin to crowd
- each other, thus cutting down
? the growth rate. When thin
: ning is done usually enough
pulp wood is removed to pay for
the thinning and at the same
time you can utilize your labor
to a good advantage.
In older stands, trees should
be removed for saw timber
when they become mature. Once
a tree is mature It begins to
j decrease in value since disease
and insects begin to work on
the trees. Also removal of the
older trees give the young
timber a better chance. The
state forester or extension for
ester will mark mature stands
for no charge except the cost'
of paint. (3) Grazing and fire
are two things which hurt
woodland more than anything
else. A cow will destroy young
timber, including pines, and at
the same time not be able to
get enough food to keep her
alive. This was proven at Co
weeta Experiment station where
two cows could not survive in
forty acres of' woodland. Also,
cattle pack the ground so that
water does not penetrate it,
thus causing much soil erosion
on the fields below.
Fire in the woods burn the
leaves and dead limbs which
form a mulch on the ground,
as well as severely damaging
the trees.
These are just a few of the
things you can do during your
spare time during the winter
to make more money, better
conserve your soil, and utilize
your surplus labor if you have
it available.
If you are interested in plant
ing trees on non-cultivated
land, they can be obtained
through the county agent's of
fice free of charge from TVA
nurseries.
To transport the nation's out
put of coal from mine to mark

railroad carloadings, in addition
to that moved by truck and
barge.
