procedures (Koger and 

 Webster 1984). 



Among other studies of 

 forest policy issues was the 

 monumental work of the 

 forest taxation inquiry, 

 designed to find general 

 solutions to problems of 

 forest property taxation 

 (Fairchild 1935). Subse- 

 quent studies of forest 

 taxation more specifically 

 oriented to the South 

 included the work of such 

 scientists as R.R. Craig and 

 W.C. Siegel at the Southern 

 Forest Experiment Station, 

 Leon Hargreaves, Jr., at the 

 Georgia Forestry Commis- 

 sion, and W.O. Klemperer 

 at the Virginia Polytechnic 

 Institute. Legislators and 

 others have used such 

 studies in evaluating possi- 

 ble impacts of various tax 

 policies on forest ownership 

 and forestry practices. 



The marketing of southern 

 pine and hardwood prod- 

 ucts has likewise been a 

 subject for research by 



many scientists. For more 

 than a century, periodic 

 surveys of production, 

 prices, and end uses of 

 foresty products have been 

 conducted by the U.S. 

 Bureau of the Census, the 

 Forest Service, and various 

 State agencies. Beginning 

 in the 1950's, such re- 

 searchers as H.E. Dicker- 

 hoof, C.A. Fasick, W.C. 

 Anderson, and D.L Holley, 

 Jr., conducted local 

 marketing studies on con- 

 sumer attitudes toward use 

 of wood and competing 

 products and related factors 

 affecting consumption of 

 southern wood products. 

 Studies of pulpwooding 

 revealed the production 

 and marketing structure of 

 this important southern 

 industry (e.g., Rawlins and 

 Sorensen 1968). Both 

 Federal and State agencies 

 have issued series of local 

 price and market reports 

 for stumpage, logs, and 

 pulpwood of southern 

 timber species.
