Abstract

Timber growing should have a place in diversified soil-use plans. It may offer relief for some of the economic ills that beset the farmer because of decreasing cotton markets and other agricultural ills; gainful employment during slack times; and a profitable crop in a program of wise land use. As a first step an educational program to arouse interest in forestry and to pave the way for more equitable taxation for land handled for timber production is recommended.
