It is the third number' of a modest illustrated magazine called "The American Tree Farmer. Each story has practical pointers on how people are making money grow on trees through tree . fanning in 35 states. Land owner or not, it is likely that you'd enjoy reading about trees being treated as a crop. So you would find good news in . the 'account of Mrs. Myrtle Formway and her 145 acres of . young pine forest near .Grass Valley, California. It tells of the ' parts played by a small logging , contractor, Oscar Phillips, his helper, Jess Pettifer, and two mules, Fred and Dude; in devel oping a program for light thin ning that was contributed by ! Western Pine Association Fores ter Ralph. Hodges. ; About 700,000 board feet have . been marked for light thinning I I on the 145 acres. Other features of good management have help ed to make the area eligible for tree farm certification. The story .is told in lively style. There is ; an interesting picture of mule ' team leg skidding. There are ideas gcod for any woodland . owner. First, Tour Market Every "now Joe did it" story in "The American Tree Farmer" highlights the fact that a good ' market is essential to the prac tice of tree farm forestry. Not far from the Formway Tree farm the Cunningham sawmill pro ' vides a place to sell the sawlogs that are harvested in the thin ning operation. Forestry cannot be practiced in an economic ' vacuum except when it is paid ' for out of the public treasury. Another illustration, enter tainingly presented in "The American Tree Farmer," is one of the Bishops, fathe and son, who milk 25 cows and cut pulp- wood from 125 wooded acres of ' a farm in Jefferson county, Washington. It-is the Crown Zel lerbach kraft paper mill at Port Townsend, 15 miles away, that gives Mr. Bishop and his son the means to harvest, grow and pro tect trees in harmony with tree farm standards. The paper com pany adds encouragement by . purchasing small green thinnings ; and salvaged wood. So the Bish ops have earned a certificate from- the Industrial Forestry as sociation the tree farm certify ing agency on the West coast In the South individual forest , industry companies are sponsor ing "tree farm families." The magazine has a double-page spread of family members, which includes a minister with 16 acres, a lady music teacher who owns 86 acres, a college girl who has 1.920 acres, a doctor whose certified tree farm ex tends over 5,500 acres, and many ethers from all walks of life be side the many woodland owning farmers who boast tree farm certificates. Read what they are doing, how values are increasing year by year on woodlands under good management, ana you are apt to ccme to my own enthusias tic conclusion: "When better forestry is prac ticed, tree farmers will practice it!' Soaks Help Trea Farmers It is a sad story, mates, but the wheezy topers who lap up Old Owl and other brands of whiskey, help to sustain the markets that tree farmers live by. The tree farmers' magazine has a picture that illustrates West Virginia markets. One view shows "staves for bourbon whiskey barrels seasoning at the Blue Grass Cooperage com pany." Whuf! Tree Farmer A. E. James, of Bollinger county, Missouri, bought a ruined 780 acres for cs many dollars in 1933. It had a scattering of oak on it. Mr. James took out about $100 worth a year, leaping sources of young growtn. Now the new crop is at a height that has brought an appraisal amounting to 16 times as much as James gave for the land. -The little annual harvest has paid taxes. Much of the cut was in the form of oaken bolts for whiskey barrel staxes. So gleams a good thing in a wick ed world! But all this is only a thin sampling of the Number 3 issue of "The American Tree Farmer." If any reader is interested in more, he can drop a card to this paper. The publication is a prime antidote to the bunk of jawbone bureaucracy. Out of Season Game Must Go To Hospitals Jackson, Miss. (U.PJ Missis sippi requires that came killed illegally or out of season must be turned over to hospitals or charitable institutions. The Game and Fish Commis sion reports that a warden found an aged Negro who had killed a grey squirrel out of season. "Too bad you didn't wait for the season to open, old timer," the warden told him. "Now I'll have to take you to a justice of the peace and let you pay a fine. On the way we'll take this squirrel to the county hospital." "Ain't no use taking' him to a hospital," the culprit replied, '"cause that squirrel is beyond the help of medical science."
