farm woodlands
by Caleb Pen nock, Jr., Forester
If cattle should remain at a high price and beef products should become correspondingly high, would the lumberman who buys beef products be as much victimised as the farmer who buys lumber?
Due to the growth rate of timber, the large amount that is being cut each year, and the manner in which it is being cut, trees of saw-timber rise are diminishing throughout our farm woodlands. Because of the improper cutting practiced and general woodland management, these areas will not produce trees of saw-timber size for many years to come. Also, the quality of the future timber will be poorer than before.
There is no greater sucker than the fanner who buys lumber at fancy prices which he can avoid buying by making the best use of woodland. But the typical farmer pastures his woodland, sees it diminish and disappear, and buys high priced lumber."
Fortunately there are many fanners who have begun to realize the enormous amount of savings gained each year through the proper management of their wood- - lands. Not only will they have plenty of lumber to meet their necessary repairs at the present and in the future, but they also will have enough to sell as stumpage two or three times during their lifetime.
