If you see a man scaling a pine tree like a monkey, chanties are
he is a part of the Texas Forest Service tree improvement team.
It isn’t unusual for him to spend most of a working day in the
top of a pine tree. He’s evan patient when yellow jackets arc
on the move since he is usually 80 feet above ground.
His job is part of an over-all Service effort to produce high
quality forest trees for Texas landowners.
Food point of this activity Ks the forest genetics laboratory
at Texas A & M University, headed up by Dr. J. P. van Buijtenen.
The principle field laboratory is the Arthur Temple Sr. Research
Area west of Alto in Cherokee County. However, all the ’piney
■woods” serves as a laboratory to these "tree improvers.**
The program is financed by both state and federal governments
■and by forest products industries.
Interest is centered in developing strains of pines to meet the
demands of industry and forest landowners. Much progress has
already been made in producing a drought resistant type. This
will permit survival of planted pine seedlings on dry sites and
during long periods of drought and in extending the range of
pine. Abo under investigation are quality trees of low and high
specific gravity, and trees that ate resistant to Southern pine
beetles and tip moth.
Work in tree improvement Is time consuming and entails
much cross pollination. Since most pine tree flowers are near the
top of the crown, a worker must climb each tree several times a
year. First, he checks on flower growth. When flowers are about
ripe, he bags them to keep out foreign pollen. Next, he applies
pollen from another selected tree just as the flowers ripen. Oa
his next trip, after the flowers are set, he removes the bags.
’ Eighteen months later, he picks the special,cones. With 50 &
more flowers in each pine top to care for, this is a time con-
suming job.
A light sectional alloy ladder is used to climb the tall trees.
A climber carries 10 foot sections of ladder with him as he climbs
a tree. Near the top, however, he leaves his ladder and crawls
with only limbs and * safety belt to aid him. A rope harness is
used for the descent. Enroute down, he disassembles his ladder.
Some day fruits of the labor of these Texas Forest Service men
will pay off for Texas woodland owners. Already benefits are on
hand.
The average acre in the
pineywoods area can support
10,000 board feet of pine
timber, reports the Texas
Forest Service.
Man-caused forest fires can
destroy valuable wildlife areas
enjoyed by sportsmen and
nature lovers, reports the
Texas Forest Service.
The Texas Forest Service
was the first southern state
to make extensive use of
planes in detecting forest
fires.
If the sea would rise, Flor-
ida would be the first state
to be completely submerged.
There seems to be enough
leisure time to go around,
but generally the wrong peo-
ple have it.
Lots of people think they
are broad-minded when they
really are just too lazy to
form an opinion.
