Regulation Specifies
Timber Owner Must
Leave Part of Forest

To provide for adequate growing
stocks of young timber in woodland
areas throughout Maryland, the Com
mission Of State Forests and Parks
has established regulation which
specifies the number of sound, thrifty
trees of commercial species to be left
standing after numbering operations,
State Forester Joseph F. Kaylor an
nounces. This action on the part of the
Commission is taken in accordance
with the terms of the Forest Conserv-
ancy Districts Act, which went into
effect the first Of the year.
AS drawn, the regulation provides
that there shall be left one hundred
trees from 40 to $50 in diameter at
4 Y feet above ground, or twenty trees
from go to 11.9 inches, or eight trees
of diameters - inches and up. In adj
dition, all sound, thrifty young trees
less than inches in diameter must be
left standing, with due care taken to
prevent their INJURY during logging.
This regulation, Mr.. Kaylor asserts,
calls for nothing more than the prac-
tice ordinarily followed by timber
owners who aim to keep their holdings
continuously productive 1t represents,
he goes on to say, common-sense pro-
vision for future timber crops and
steady money returns for landowners.
1t will mean also, he points out, that
our wood-using industries will not
have to go outside the State for most
of their raw materials, as they do now,
at an added cost for freight charges.
Landowners and local wood-using in
Gustries. Kaylor declares, will profit
equally from home grown timber,

Dairymen to Discuss
Emergency Feeding

Emergency feeding problems facing
Garrett County dairymen who want
to do all they can to economically in
crease milk production in the national
food production program is one of
the biggest problems for the dairy
men to cope with according to John
H. Carter, County Agent. There are
so many factors that are almost be-
yond the dairyman's control in regard
to feed ingredients, especially high
protein, that it is going to require a
sound herd management plan to get
maximum production at economical
cost, he declared.

in the county, the county Extension
Service has arranged for two feeding
and feed production meetings to be
held at the Grantsville High School,

gruder, specialist of the agronomy
department, and George Hyatt, Jr,
specialist Of the dairy department of
the University of Maryland, will be
at the meetings to lead the discussion
and to bring to the group the latest
information in regard to the feeding
problem caused by war emergencies
and give suggestions. Individual
grain mixtures for herds under pres
ent conditions will be a most import
ant question, Dairymen are urged to
bring their questions to the meeting
that is most convenient for them to
attend. Some other topics will be:
Herd sires, production records, insil-
age, better quality hay, etc.
The meeting at Grantsville will be
in the high school and will start
promptly at 8 p. m, on Thursday,
February "a. The Oakland meeting
will be in the County Agents office
and will be day meeting. 1t will
start promptly at 1000 a. m. and will

to make plans with their neighbors

atcly followed after the animal saw
his shadow last Wednesday.

wrong and that Mr. Upolc is right
