SOUTH CONSERVING
PULPWOOD BETTER
1 Pulpwood Industry Making
Frogress In Its Program—
Much To Be Done.
Atlanta The pulpwood in
dustry is making progress in its
program of forest conservation in
the south, Frank Heyward, Jr.,
general manager of the Southern
Pulpwood Conservation associa
tion, said here today.
Individual mills have improved
standards of cutting practices, he
said, and forest rules to prevent
clean cutting of lands are being
enforced.
Selective cutting is practiced
throughout the southern territory
extending from Virginia to Tex
as, and fire protection, essential
of any lumbering industry, is re
ceiving attention of industrial
leaders and private land owners.
Technical foresters are in many
instances employed to enforce
conservation regulations adopted
by the mills.
Thus does Heyward sum up ad
vancement noted within the last
few months in what he said was
the first wood-using industry in
the south to adopt a program of
self-regulation.
The industry, contrary to gen
eral belief, is not new in the
south, Heyward said. Mills have
been in operation 30 years or
more and have cast millions of
dollars into trade channels. But
within the last five years develop
ments have resulted in expendi
ture of an estimated $200,000,000
in new capital for mills, equip
ment and forest lands.
Primary cause of this expan
sion, said Heyward, was the a
bundance of low-priced raw ma
terial in the south; millions of
acres of pine forest lands suitable
cjf
Poland’s first partition took place
i in 1772, when Russia, Prussia and
Austria each took lands; Russia to
the northwest, Prussia to the east.
Austria, south.
Poland declared its right to auton
omy in 1918. Shaded area shows old
German boundary restored by Hit
ler's decree.
S.
for growing pulpwood merely a
waited proper development.
“Expansion operations 'thus
were started, and at first were
confined largely to the brown
paper products,” he said, “but
now new interest is being ex
pressed in the making of white
paper, not only fro mpines, but
from hardwood trees as well.
“In all there are 47 pulp rrfclls
in operation in the south, and
three under construction.
Heyward made it clear, how
ever, that there is still much to
be done and some are not in sym
pathy with the aims of pulpwood
leaders.
“Although it is currently be
lieved by many that there is
grave danger that the pulpwood
industry will deflate the south
ern timber supply, that belief is
erroneous,” he said.
“Actual figures -show that only
six percent of the drain on tim
ber resources can be attributed to
pulp mills. In fact, the U. S. for
est service says that 46 percent of
the south’s timber is used for
lumber, 33 percent for fuel, five
percent for railroad tires, three
percent for fence posts. That lea
ves only six percent for the pulp
wood industry.”

Clamor For Passes
To Leave Europe
Not So Great Now
Washington The maritime
commission reported today a
sudden decline in the clamor
for passage home from Europe.
The Paris office of the United
States lines advised the commis
sion that, although the S. S.
Shawnee delayed its sailing from
a French port for two days, its
books were considerably less
than the 500 passengers it can
accommodate.
The commission said three oth
er vessels chartered to provide
passage for American refugees
were enroute to Europe but ad
vices indicated they, too, may be
forced to return with accommo
dations only partly used.

Small Farmers Buy
Modern Machinery
With FSA Loans
Machine-age agriculture is
creating new demands on the
small farmers of the nation.
Use of machinery on the farm
is increasing as farmers battle to
maintain their profit margins by
lowering operating costs.
Small farmers needing big ma
chinery can chip in and buy it
through the Community and Co
opertaive Service program of the
Farm Security Administration,
according to J. B. Slack, Chief of
the Rural Rehabilitation program
in Region IV, which includes the
states cf North Carolina, Virginia,
West Virginia, Kentucky and
Tennessee.
Under this plan small farmers
are enjoying the benefits of mo
dern farm machinery and equip
ment that they could not afford
alone. Much needed services or
equipment can be financed by the
FSA Community and Co-opera
tive Service program when two
or mere farmers agree to use the
service or property.
Loans can be made for a Com
munity Service owned and oper
ated by one farmer, “the Master
Borrower,” for the benefit of a
group; operated jointly by sever
al members of the group; or by
THURSDAY, SEPT. 28, 1939
the group as a whole. These loans
are made to low-income farmers
who cannot get adequate credit
from any other source and are
repaid within one to five years.
Three percent interest is charged
on equipment and service loans.
Five perent interest is chargd on
loans used for the purchase of
supplies and materials consumed
during the year.
Mr. Slack pointed out that
more than 4,100 farmer groups in
the South already had borrowed
over $2,200,000 from the Farm
Security Administration to fin
ance these services. There are
109,969 farm families patricipat
ing in these group loans.
He urged that anyone interest
ed in these loans get intouch with,
the county FSA Supervisor or
the County Agent at once.
Purchases by the farmer groups
include 402 tractors, 234 mowers.
373 combines, 272 hay balers, 186
takes, 99 harvesters, 119 binders,
150 harrows, 41 threshing mach
ines, 55 ensilage cutters, 51 pea
nut pickers, 16 cultivators, 15
planters, 9 terracing machines, 19
lime-grinding plants, 12 lime
spreaders, 103 syrup mills, 37
feed mills, 30 hammer mills, 24
dusting machines, 5 saw-mills
and three gins.
