WARNING - PROTECT
FORESTS FROM FIRES
The North Carolina Pulpwood
Company asks the cooperation of
the public in the approaching
spring forest fire season. The com
pany owns considerable acreage of
forest land in Duplin county on
which it is practicing approved
forestry measures to .insure con
tinuous future crops of pulpwood
and other forest products.
The greatest enemy of this ob
jective is fire, The Pulp Company
takes special precautionary meas
ures against fires by plowing fire
lanes around and thorough its pro
perties and by keeping a small ex.
perienced and well euipped crew
Qf f ire fighters available for ac
tion at all times during the fire
seasons. The company has also
several trucks with tanks and
pumps which can be altered for
duty on short notice.
All persons who desire to burn
brush, ditch banks, or refuse, or
start a fire for any reason within
or adjoining woodland are requir
ed by State Law to obtain a per
mit if the burning is done between
' nary 1st and June 1st or Oct.
wi. to Nov. 30. These permits
may be obtained without charge
from any fire warden. Burning
should be done only by the permit
holder when wind and burning
conditions make burning safe.
Such firen should never be left
unattended and arrangements for'
help should be made in advance
in case the wind should come up
suddenly and blow the fire out of
control.
.All fires in or threatening wood-
land should be reported immedia
tely to your towerman, local war
den or county warden, Ralph Mil
ler, whose telephone is Kenansvil
le 33A.
The Pulp Company foresters
would deeply appreciate reports of
all fires on or near company own
ed land. Collect phone calls should
be made to R. F. Buckham, Wil
mington 22230.
An adequate, continuous sup
ply of pulpwood depends upon the
protection of our forests from the
destruction caused by fires. Stea
dy employment and the prosperity
of the community depend upon a
continuous supply of forest pro
ducts to keep the wheels of indus
try turning.
Almost anyone with land can
grow more pine. Pine can shift for
itself, but with a little attention
and protection it will respond rap
idly. Ten years ago there was less
point to growing more trees. You
might not have been able to sell
them. Things are different now.
Crowded pines can be cut at a
profit for pulpwood.
Protect your land from fire o
that seedlings (your next genera
tion) will not be destroyed. !
