THE CHEROKEEAN OF RUSK, TEXAS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 25. 1971.PAQE THREB
DECISIONS! DECISIONS! DECISIONS! Our ty-
pical Thanksgiving shopper can't deride wheth -
er to take the easy way out or stick by tra-
dition. The homemade turkey and dressing
is delicious, but is all the time, worry and
mess afterwards really worth it? In this
day and age of frozen, quick -to-prepare foods
oftentimes we are tempted to take the easy
way out. What are you having this Thanks-
giving? By the way, our decision.making shop-
per is Mrs. Dorothy Moake of Alto, .staff photo
"For Land's Sake" As Well As Yours
Consider The Probable Results Of lofging
Of course the timber
products market has ro be
supplied the year-round but
for the small timber owner
this is probably the best time
of the year to log. Also, the
pine plantations of the 50's
are needing thinning now and
we are observing all manner
of systems of harvesting from
light thinnings to clear-
cutting, The light thinner
wants to grow more limber
on his acres and spread the
Income over a longer period
of time while the clear-cut-
ter wants all the income and
either wants to increase his
pasture acreage or just leave
the acres idle to grow up in
hardwood brush or gamble on
a pine reseeding to restock to
a pine stand.
Whatever decision-.-and.
it; is yours to mi ke.-"for
1 ami's sake" as welj;}<¡ yours,
consider well the proba-
ble results. It costs at
least $100 per acre toconvert
from woodland to established
pastureland and so many
times all or even jttst a part
of the income from a "thin-
ning" of the woodland applied
to your present pastureland
tp Improve it, would produce
more gra„ss than the cleared
woodland could possibly pro-
duce. Consider the economics
of it all-.-a cut young 10 to
12 inch pitiehas stopped grow-
ing the 10 to 20 percent per
year.
Concerning the pine planta-
tions, many of them had a
very good survival rate--ne-
arly all the planted trees sur-
vived and grew. It is a pro-
blem to get pulpwood trucks
into the plantations so a few
have taken to cutting every
other row. This eliminate,*
the cost and bother of «el-
ective marking and makes the
operation simpler and more
attractive to the logger. Ilow-
ever, consider other angles;
are we just marketing pulp-
wood or posts, or are we
improving our stand of tim-
ber? When every other row is
cut, one result is that half
of the dominant trees are re-
moved and half of the cull
trees are left. In a few in-
stances, such an operation
is permissible and advisable,
such as a stand that was pl-
anted too closely, say 3 or 4
feet in the row and rows five
or six feet apart, However,
if the spacing was at least
six by eight feet, why not
consider taking out every sev-
enth row? This leaves 16
to 18 feet on each side of the
truck to tote or cable in the
pulpwood bolts. Of course,
this involves selectively mar-
king the six rows between the
truck access routes, but is it
not worth it to improve
the stand for future products?
Forked, crooked, diseased,
and excessivley limbed tr-
ees have little to no potent-
ial,
Sib many landowner* have 50
little idea what they have in
timber as to volume, product
and value--but, there has nev-
er been a time when so much
information anil assistance is
available as there is now.
The Texas Forest Service, the
Soi 1 Conservation Service, the
Extension Service, and the
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Service all have
their part in assisting the
landowner. Various timber
using companies have mar-
king and consultive assistance
set up in their programs. Sev-
eral private forestry consul-
tants are available in the Fast
Texas area.
Investigate and consult with
these sources of information
anil then arrive at a sound
plan for your woodland mana -
