Foresters Cutting JLow
Quality Trees In Pisgah
To Prevent Over-Crowding
By removing undesirable trees
and growing tin maximum volume
of high qualitx timber on the land
they once occupied, the V. S For
est Sen ice hopes to farther iaise
the payments made to local coun
ties from Ihe sale ot timber cut on
the Pisgah National Forest. Rang
er W. W. Huber ihsclosed today.
Under normal timber sale pro
cedure on the r'l-.gih forest, trees
that are maluie or those that are
over-mature and have sloped down
in growth are marked for cutting.
Sickly and poor quality trees are
also cut. In addition, uhti.- there
is over-crowding in tin- innbc
stand, good young trees may he
removed to give the others more
room to grow in.
Ranger Huber stated that alter
commercial i-uttint! i completed
on pine-hardwood timber sales on
the Pisgah natMHial forest, cull,
low-quality hardwood timber, for
which there is no market, occupies

IS
much of the ground on which high
quality trees should be growing.
Foresters call these undesirable
tres "weed" trees. Acting like
weeds jn a vegetable garden, these
"weed" trees use a lot of soil f ood i
and water that should be going
to the more valuable trees that
grow beside them. In addition,
they over-top fine young quality
trees arid in time make them spind
ly or even kill them. These "weed"
trees often take a lot of land
space, thus keeping young pine and
other good trees from getting
started.
"We don't want the Pisgah na
tional forest over-loaded with 'la
zy.' useless weed' trees.'' Ranger
Huber said, "so we cut them out as
fast as our working funds permit."
This operation is called "timber
stand improvement work" and Is
now being done on the Pisgah na
tional forest by a crew of four men
with F. Reese, forester in charge.
Ranger Huber emphasized that
this does not meart that all "weed'"
trees are cut. Since game is one
of the products of the forest plenty
'of den 'and food trees are left to
take care of squirrels, opossum,
raccoon and birds. Among game
j f ood trees that are saved are hick
ory, mulberry, holly, sassafras,
i black gum, persimmon, beech and
i dogwood.

The state supreme court Wednes
day knocked out as unconstitution
al a state law prohibiting pollu
tion of streams. In the same breath,
however, the court invited the
legislature to pass a law that would
pass the constitutional test.
In another case, the court found
no error in the convention of
James Lerny Jackson, Burke coun
ty Negro, for the robbery-murder
of David H. Francum, Valdese
lunch stand operator. As a result,
Jackson is scheduled to die in the
gas chamber on April 9.
Francum's wife testified at Jack
son's trial and Burke superior court
that s'he heard a shot and found
her husband slumped on the front
porch of their home near Valdese.
Then, she said, she was struck
over the head with a piece of lum
ber. She said that later she was
able to drag her husband into the
house, that he died shortly before
midnight but that she waa too
terrified to leave the house and
summon assistance until the next
day.
The crime moved Chief Justice
Walter P. Stacy to write:
"The record in this case is one of
moving pathos. A frugal and hard
working couple of Swiss descent
or ancestry meets with a monstrous
tragedy in a land dedicated to their
protection and welfare. Are there
no preventives for such crimes?"
The court ruling on the stream
pollution statute came in a case

The coiupaiiN contended that I lie

Associate Ju tire A. F. Seawell
wrote for the court:
Tf the statute i upheld, we shall
have the pedacle ot one corpora

punishable as a crime, and another,
side by :;ido in the same stream,
doing the same t liinr? with impunity
and approval of the law."
The contention that the statute
is offensive to the Constitution in
that without due process of law it
deprives the defendant or may de

property rights is not well taken,"
Seawell added.
"No matter how long the practice
of polluting Ihe waters by waste

no prescription againsl the state
when it sees fit to remedy the
evil."
