Although -this has been , a bad
fire season in this section anil there
: have been many more -large severe
fires than usual, most of the trees
will come out again this spring.
Don't sell your timber just to get
rid of it, because probably it is not
damaged as much as it appears

. Office of Senator from the Ninth Senatorial

- 'Counties of Duplin, Sampson, Pender and New

to be. '
' True all the trees in the burned
area were damaged. Some were
killed where a,; Head fire went
'through the stand. But on the
flanks of the fire and the back
there will be little or no loss of
timber. Growth on all the trees
In the burn will be slowed down
for several years, but If fires are
kept out this fall and in following
fire seasons most trees will again
put on profitable growth.
It is impossible to tell the death
rate in a stand until a burn is at
least several months old. Many
scorched trees that appear dead
will come out green again this
spring. They look very bad at the
present but many of these will live.
Most of them will be very weak
and may be subject to insect attack
Hater this summer. Usually insects
will attack scattered weak trees but
Ithis year they may reach epidemic
stages in places, but even then it
lis not too late to sell timber in
usual instances.
The North Carolina Forest Ser
vice offers free management assis
tance to any land owner who is in
terested enough ' to ask for the
service. Management assistance.
