BIRD A column devoted to the fields and streams and woodland of this section. This week on the Sand Hills State Forest of South Carolina near Cheraw I saw a brush cut^ ter in action. This machine con sisted of two long, cylindrical drums filled with water. Heavy- duty cutter blades were attach ed to these drums and the drums were pulled in tandem by a crawler-type tractor. This ma chine weighed five and. one-half tons and was contsructepi at a cost of about $1,100. In South Carolina this and similar machines are used to' prepare l.and occupied by scrub oak for planting to pine. It lit erally chews up oak and other inferior hardwoods in small pieces. This operation is- then followed by a six or eight disc bush and bog which exposes the mineral soil and leaves the site in shape to plant either by hand or machine. North of the Cape Fear there is a great deal of land now pro ducing nothing but scrub oak. Agriculturally, this land is mar ginal. While scrub oak makes excellent fuel, the market for now producing it is a liability. Logically, this land, much of which at one time produced long- leaf pine, should be reconvertecU to pine. The State Forest Services of both North and South Caro lina have been, for several years, experimenting with this problem in order to determine the most economical way to re-establish pine on scrub oak sites. In the South Carolina operations the oak is first removed by, means of this brush cutter and then the area is planted. Some areas of this kind have been underplanted by hand to pine and these pine have been released at the end of one, two and three growing seasons. Results to date indicate that those seedlings released at the end of the first growing season are more hardy, grow faster and survive '■•etter than those released later. The co.st of either method is about the same, totaling in the ncigb.borhood of $16.00 per acre which includes both the plant ing and release operations. Whether or not this first release will have to be followed by a second as the oak sprouts remains Veterans With Service Connected Cumberland county veterans with service connected disabili ties, whether compensalbe or not, are excluded from the county p(^ tax levy under the General Sta tutes of North Carolina, section 105-342. Approximately 500 veterans are eligible for this tax deduct- factors. Returns on such invest ment will normally not begin for about 20 years. And the chances of survival of these pines is poor indeed unless the area can be adequately protected from fire. However, it should be a source of satisfaction to any landowner to convert, mon-productive acres to productive. If something is not done to convert these areas, they will continue to be a liability rather than an asset. And a land- owner is poorer for each non productive acre of land on which he pays taxes.

Indications are now | paj-tjcuiaj. problem or other for that the first pine underplanted is pretty well holding its own with the scrub oak sprouts. estry poblems which are com mon to Eastern North Carolina are invited to visit the Bladjen Whether or not a person is ^ Lakes State Forest near Eliza- justified, from the standpoint of bethtown, which is essentially a an investment, in spending $16.00 demonstration area concerned an acre to establish pine on this with -practical woodland man- this material is limited and land type land depends on several agement.
