Questioned
On Forests
The Texas Forest Service has
mailed a questionaire to landow-
ners in Cherokee Countv who own
% forty acres or more of land. Land-
|owners who have received this
questionaire are urged to com-
plete the questionaire and return
it as soon as possible if they have
not done so already.
The purpose of th€- questionaire
is to determine total forest acre-
age in the county. Those from
whom the information « already
available will not receive a ques-
tionaire.
The information will provide
ownership classification of forest
land as related to total acreage
owned. It will also be important
for an effort directed toward the
improvement of the timber mar-
ket. Wood using industries often
seek information on sources of
timber for their maufacturing
requirements.
Timber has played an impor-
tant role in the economy of East
Texas. Each dollar received from
standing trees adds $25.00 to Te-
xas' economy. However, accord-
ing to projected demands for ti-
mber products in the future, this
