Farm Forestry Program Broadened
To Provide Many Additional Services
More free assistance for farm
ers and other landowners in
North Carolina is to be provided
by the forestry division of the
State Department of Conserva
tion and Development.
State Forester Fred H. Claridge
announces the farm forestry pro
gram of the department is being
broadened as a result of increas
ed appropriations made available
for such purpose by the 1953
General Assembly. It is a part of
the program designed to bring
about a more effective forest
service in the State, Claridge Said.
The farm forestry program,
which is under the management
is at home with his family at the
Carthage hotel.
Mr. and Mrs. Leland Fry are
visiting relatives in Greensboro
and Portsmouth, Va.
section of the C. and D’s forestry
division, was transferred July 1,
1948, to the Department of Con
servation and Development from
the North Carolina Extension
There are now 10 district farm
foresters at work in the State,
with offices located in the fol-
Service.
lowing cities: Asheville, Lenoir,
Rockingham, New Bern, Rocky
Mount, Durham, Fayetteville,
Whiteville, Lexington and Sylva.
Services of county foresters,
who work under the forest man
agement program, are also avail
able in the following counties:
Wake, Ashe, Alamance, Cabarrus,
Catawba, Davidson, Forsyth, Gas-
ten, Guilford, Iredell, Randolph
and Rowan.
Since approximately 58 per
cent of North Carolina’s total area
is in woodlands, the State’s for
ests are becoming more and more
important in the economy of the
State and its people, Claridge
said. Only last yearj for example,
the produjcts made from forests of
this State had a valuation of
$773,000,000, according to a sur
vey made by the Manufacturers’
Record and published in its an
nual publication, “The Blue Book
of Southern Progress.”
The forest management section
Is under the direct supervision of
P. A. Griffiths, an assistant State
forester. Ralph C. Winkworth,
who was district forester at New
Bern for five years, has been
brought in to assist Lyell E.
Hicks, a management forester, in
the broadening farrn forestry pro
gram.
Some indication of services pro
vided under the forest manage
ment program since farm forestry
was added in 1948 is shown in of
ficial records. From July, 1948,
and up to May 1, 1953, a total of
146,906,959 board feet of timber
had been marked for, cutting in
the State and during the same
period a total of 49,917,620 for
est tree seedlings were distribu
ted from the forestry division’s
two nurseries located near Hen
dersonville and Clayton.
The U. S. winter wheat crop is
currently estimated at 770,000,-
000 bushels.
Growing conditions th,is year for
North Carolina’s peanut crop have
been very good.
Production of the major North
Carolina peach varieties this year
is estimated at 1,360,000 bushels,
18 per cent less than the 1,648,000
bushels produced last year.
