The Division of Forestry, as C & D Director Ben E. Douglas points out, is the largest of the sev en divisions of the Department of Conservation and Development. Sometimes referred to as the State Forest Service, the C&I) De partment's Division of Forestry is designated hy State law to "have charge of the work of forest main tenance, forest fire prevention, re-, forestation and the protection of lands and water supplies by the preservation of forests ..." State laws also require that "he Division of Forestry arrange for and accept such aid and coopera lion from the several United States Government bureaus and other sources as may assist in and car rying out the objectives of the CAcD Department. "Since our woodlands occupy about 58 percent of our total land area, and in view of the fact that the value of our forest products ; in 1952 was placed at $773,000,000. it can readily be seen that our : forests mean much to the economy of North Carolina," says Director t Douglas. More Seedlings Approximately 40 million seed lings are now being produced an nually In good growing years at the Clayton and. Hendersonville nurs eries and it can easily be seen that in a short time the C&D Depart ment's Division of Forestry will be j able to fill all requests for seed i lings and for the first time offer to landowners seedlings at nomin ? al prices for plantings in sub-mar ginal lands. Such lands, ideal for timber and pulpwood production are not considered good for other , crops. "The very fact that products , f I instrument, and Neal Kelly, public speaking.

T-ne tire control program is han dled in the participating counties unaer direction ot luil-lime, sal aried, county forest rangers or . foresters. 'these men, who are as sisted by men known as "smoke- ' chasers ' ana by people who serve ' as lookouts in the 1*12 forest tire i lookout towers located in or near , heavily wooded areas, are respon sible to the district forester in j charge of their particular area. There are 12 of these district tor esters. They have headquarters in the following places; Elizabeth City. Asheville, Hocky Mount, Bel mont, Chapel Hill. Lexington, Syl va, Whiteviile, New Bern. Lenoir, i Fayetteville, and Rockingham. Lower Fire Loss The Division of Forestry owns and operates more than $1,000,000 worth of forest firefighting equip ment. Included are 350 radios I equipped for two-way communica tion with lookouts in forest tow ers by smoke-chasers and forest rangers, who may be miles away from the tower or the scene of a forest fire. It is of record that these hardy forest firefighters, who risk life and limb in fighting fires, have done excellent jobs in keeping losses in forests. Last year, for example, the estimated damage to wooded areas under protection of the State was about $200,000 less than what it was in 1952. This re duction was made in the face of one of the worst droughts the State has experienced in many years. So great'was the fire hazard at times to many woodland areas that Governor Umstead quickly ap proved recommendations of Direc tor Douglas and Director Clyde Patton of the State Wildlife Re sources Commission to close woods in 52 counties to protect them against fires. Public Blamed Progress is also being made in educating the public to the fact that nine out of every ten forest fires are caused by human beings. ' We cannot put too much stress on the known fact that we humans are by far the chief causes of fires in our forests," Douglas and Clar idge are saying repeatedly. In the field of forest manage ment, P. A. Griffiths, assistant State forester in charge of forest management, has a number of trained foresters working under his direction in the promotion of better forest management practices and in giving advice and service to landowners and operators. Many State Graduates Of the 56 foresters employed by the Division of Forestry, it is of record that 33 of them are gradu ates of the School of Forestry at N. C. State College. Raleigh. A variety of services is per formed by these foresters. Ten for esters carry titles of Service For esters.
