WAYS TO MAKE 



FARM TIMBER GROWING PAY 



; v : 



CONTROL WOODS FIRES 



... to protect seedlings and larger 

 young trees. Cooperate with your 

 neighbors to keep wildfires out of 

 the woods. 





MAKE IMPROVEMENT CUTTINGS AND THINNINGS 



... in young timber frequently. Re- 

 move poor-quality trees — some can 

 be sold or used for fuel, posts, farm 

 lumber, or pulpwood. Cut or girdle 

 culls — leave plenty of good trees for 

 sawlogs. 



SELL TREES FOR THEIR HIGHEST VALUE 



Before cutting, check on markets. 

 Cut each tree for whatever product 

 gives the best return — pole, sawlog, 

 tie, or pulpwood. Always consider 

 the quality of individual trees and 

 the products that will bring highest 

 values. 



LOG YOUR OWN TIMDER CROP 



Sell products rather than stumpage. 

 Do your woods work in the fall and 

 winter, to keep farm labor busy in 

 those seasons. Haul your products 

 to market if you have the right equip- 

 ment. 



FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Forestry information, demonstrations of practices, and 

 on-the-ground services are available. Call on your county agricultural agent or local 

 forester, or write to the State Forestry Department. They can give you information 

 and assistance on managing woodlands, marketing timber products, and other phases 

 of forestry work.
