MANAGliENT;. IS IMPORTANT Forests trees should be looked ait as a steady source of income. To obtain tlhe- maximum income, good 'forestry, management fa) es- sentiai. Forest land on your farm can be improved with , : planned cutting and romovial of undesir able trees. -Proper .. curttbing , can help provide a steady income from tdmber. .But careless ; cutting tlan result in more harm than - good. Planned cutting can help to esta- blialh a flaet growing stand of good tree apeoies. " I When forest land has no atten tion in a 'number of years, the faTBt trees to out are those Chat have, little commercial lvalue. Cut trees ' which i. r W growing, defeottve ar" crooked. If, aftef these! trees are cut,; the stand of trees is still txo thick, they should be thinned until fle top 'branches do not touch, Enough room should be given to allow plenty of sum. light for future timber trees. This will enable timber trees to grow at a much .more rapid rate. . . Cutting undesirable ' trees -will help release - good species of trees such' as pine and poplar. Where tfhere are no good trees to replace the .undesirable ones, white pines cam be obtained. Pine seedlings are available for every , farm in the county. - These ' pines can be obtained by contacting any ; agri cultural agency iiLifflie county.
