lates new forest growth as it har-
vests the old. Without forethought
or reason to guide its use. much
damage may be done.
In spite of the fact that extensive
forest areas in Sussex have been
badly denuded, selective cutting and
proper care are next to fire preven-
tion the greatest needs of our forests
today.
In order to assist the farmers in
taking better care of their forests,
the agricultural conservation pro-
gram has provided that each acre
planted to forest trees shall be
counted as five soil building units
and each acre of woodland that is
improved shall be counted as two
units. Both of these practices. how
ever, must have the prior approval
of the county committee.
Some of our farmers in Sussex
have already started on this latter
practice and others will begin the
Improvement of their woodlands this
summer. In view of this. the county
agricultural agent cooperating with
the State Forestry Department has
arranged to hold forestry field
meeting on May 16 at 1870 p. m. on
