Pine Trees Can Produce Longtime Yield In a recent survey of 98 pine plantations in the Tenn essee Valley foresters found that idle land planted to pine trees can produce a long-time yield of between $7 and S2B per acre per year. The average return was sls per acre per year over the life of the trees. The first commercial thin ning came as early as 14 years from planting ,but on the average it came when the trees were twenty years cld, and yielded 7 cords of • woc-d per acre worth $29 as stumpage. According to John N chol son, District Forester of the North Carolina Division of Forestry, Yancey County has approx mately 10 140 acres which should be planted to trees. “If this land were re forested,” he says, “it would produce an average annual income of $152 thousand to the landowners of Yancey County, and would help pro vide the base for 100 new full-time jobs in wood har vod'-g, processing, and uti lization. “Many landowners own re latively small tracts of land and feel that their refores tation actlvlt'es would be too small to make a significant contr.but on to themselves or to the economy of the country.” Mr. Nicholson stat es this assumption is in er- ' ror, for there are many ways a landowner benefits from the reforesting of Just one acre of Idle land.

Phone 682-2195 THURSDAY, NOV. 25, IMS To begin with, most people want to improve their prop erty and have it in better shape when It i s so i d or turned over to heirs. This Is simply the practice of %ood stewardship. Trees planted on Idle or eroded land im mediately make the property more valuable. It’s Just the same if you’d sell a farm Just before the corn was harvested- you ’d expect more because a crop was al ready established. Another benefit one will receive by planting trees on eroded land is erosion con trol. Moderate erosion will be checked In only three to five years and the soil will be built up again. An examole of what tree planting can mean is the plantation of Chuck Smith of Peoiand, North Carolina. Mr. Smith owns 2 acres of white pine planted on an eroded field In 1945. The first cut was in 1963 at age 18, and yielded 16 cords of pulp wojd worth S4B. Foresters es t.ma,.e that over the next 27 years Mr. Smith will be able to cut an additional 88 cords of pulpwood worth $l9B, plus 82,000 board feet of sawtimber worth $2,050. Thus on previously eroding land Mr. Smith’s pine will earn s’6 per acre per year over the life of the trees. People who have planted trees are the strongest sup porters of getting our idle land planted. Mr. Smith says: “Tree planting and tree NOTICE IN T IE SUPERIOR COURT NORTH CAROLINA YANCEY COUNTY GENEVIEVE RANDOLPH LEDFORD, Plaintiff vs. FLOYD LEDFORD, Defend ant.
