In 1935 a Rnak County resident bought a 98-acre property^ for
11,850. Seventy-eight acres ware in pasture land, only twenty
acres in trees. Since then he has harvested sufficient forest pro-
ducts to pay for the entire purchase. In 1960 he still had more
merchantable timber standing than had been sold — an estimated
|4,000 worth. Why don’t you see your county agent, SCO or
A SC office or write the Director, Texas Forest Service, College
