C. — The Ameri can Tree Farm System of growing timber as a crop on private lands gained nearly 2 million acres dur ing the first half of 1956, according to midyear figures announced by C. A. Gillett, managing director of American Forest I’roducsts Indus tries, the national sponsor. Certified Tree Farm acreage in 43 participating states now totals 39,587,554 acres as compared to 37,838,910 acres last January 1 and 35, 396,564 on July 1, a year ago. The Tree Farm program is an industry-sponsored movement to recognize private landowners who voluntarily protect their woodlands from fire, insect, disease and de structive grazing and who harvest for repeated crops. Mississippi leads in the number of certified Tree Farms: 910. Texas is second with 831, and Alabama third with 663. Three more states launched the i Tree Farm program during the of B. F.

Connecticut and New York Launching ceremonies in Indiana are planned for this month. "Tree farming not only assures I regular timber harvests through | scientific management, but pro vides multiple use of the land,' said Gillett. “It means water and j soil conservation, cover and food ' for wildlife, better streams for fish ing and ideal watersheds for re servoirs and streams. The humus on the Tree Farm floor enables soil to store up water which other wise would cause erosion, muddy streams and water losses.” Gillett said the Tree Farm pro gram, now only 15 years old, is opening the door to new opportuni ties for private woodlands owners around the country. Farmers and other owners hold 61 per cent of the country’s total commercial for est land. The government owns 26 per cent; industries 13 per cent. "The 4,250,000 small woodlot owners of the country hold, to a great extent, the key to this coun try’s ability to keep total timber ahead of harvest,” said Gillett. “It is indeed encouraging to see that more and more of these landown ers are showing an interest in growing trees as a crop.” "Down the drain" often sadly describes the money ihal disappears so completely between one payday and another.

Harwood, Jr., extension farm man agement and marketing specialist at N. C. State College. Harwood points out that results of a recent study of hatching egg producers in the mountains of I North Carolina show that 38 per cent of these producers had a net return of $2 or more per bird. Yet 32 per cent of the producers lost money! The producers that made money followed these management prac tices while the producers who lost money did not: 1. Bought chicks bred for higher rate of lay. 2. Started chicks to come into production between July and Sep tember to take advantage of higher seasonal egg prices. 3. Fed more grain, which low ered production cost. 4. Kept closer supervision on their flocks. Harwood said that while these practices may seem like minor de tails, they clearly made the differ ence between profit and loss of the hatching egg producers studied in the survey. Employment At A Record Peak The Commerce and Labor de partments report that employment in the United States during June reached the new high record of 60,500,000. This was an increase of 1,300,000 over the previous month, summer workers account ing largely for the increase. During the same period unem ployment, which nearly always I uses in June, increased by 300,000 to a total of 2,900,000, or four per cent of the total labor force.
