Putting Land In Orchards
Would Pay Better Than
Reforestation
CAN LANDS
BE COLONIZED?
Forest Experts Know That
Timber Growing on Gulf
Coast is Hazardous
BY A. e. Briggs

The question which seems to be
i'll most peoples minds concerning
reforestation is whether Mr. Alex
ander-is not correct in his statement
that our lands in the cut-over area
are fit for nothing but growing trees.
II We should have to admit this
statement, as We do not, still the
trees to be grown should not be for
est, but orchard trees; not refores-
tation but orcharding. If in half doz-
en- or less years an orchard will be-
gin to pay returns, and in a dozen
years it will be in or nearing the
height of production and be very
profitable. Orchards sell at from
$500 to 5000 an acre, which is in
marked contrast to timber. lands
The orchard continues for many
years to yield large annual returns,
while the forest is at an end as soon
as 1t is cut, and the land denuded is
nearly worthless, although denuded
land is usually more valuable than
land in timber apart from the value
of the trees. We have to face the
fact that If st. Tammany parish go1
back into forest, land values will
depreciate here. While lands in the
neighborhood Of developed orchards
are very valuable, lands adjacent to
forests are the lest valuable of lands,
for the reason that forest lands are
a detriment to farming because of
the pests and wild animals harbored
in the forest which pray upon the
farmer.
An attempt to reforest this parish
will be about as disastrous as if the
end were achieved. If on next Tues
day or subsequently the Police Jury
approves any conservation contracts
for reforestation, the Conservation
