Plant Millions
Of Pine Trees
The pulp and paper industry in
the South has purchased and been
responsible for having planted
277,000,000 pinetrees during the
0 past live years. This suivey was
conducted for the first time to
cover the industry’s 1947-48 plant
ing season by H. J. Malsberger,
forester for the Southern Pulp
wood Conservation Association,
when 26 million trees were plant
ed. It has been continued each
year during this five-year period
and during 1951-52 the number
planted reached a peak of 74 mil
lion trees. The average is nearly
55 1-2 million trees per year.
% “This planting activity by the
pulpwood industry has converted
about 277,000 acres of worthless
land into productive forests. Mals
berger stated. "The acreage plant
ed is estimated on setting 1.000
trees per acre which makes ample'
allowance for normal planting
failures and still provide suffi
cient trees to make a full crop."
"About 201,000 acres were
planted on lands owned by the
pulpwood industry," he continu
al ed, "and the remaining 76,000
acres on lands owned by individ
uals to whom the industry con
tributed the trees.”
"Far more forest lands, of
course, will be made fully produc
tive upon application of wise cut
ting practices by landowners per
mitting natural reseeding com
bined with adequate forest fire
protection which is another ob
jective oftfe*ooutneffi Plupwood
Conservation Association.
^ "It is very important,” Mals
berger concluded, "to remember
that the acreage for which the
pulp and paper industry has been
responsible for having planted
during the past five years was in
such condition that no trees would
be growing unless planted. The
maximum growth of wood in the
South requires individual and
collective support of programs
combining adequate forest fire
protection, control of disease and
insects, wise cutting practices,
and tree planting.”
THE RECORD
SPEAKS . . .
Already serious, the high
way-street accident toll in
this county has reached dis
turbing proportions. In no
other period has the accident
toll reached such proportions.
And the ghastly business of
wrecking and maiming con
tinues to outdistance the old
records. It is up to the driv
ers. individually and collec
tively, to do something about
it.
The following tabulations
offer a comparison of the ac
cident trend: first, by corres
ponding weeks in this year
and last and for each year to
the present time.
