Forest Dept.
Will Mark
Timber

The present scarcity of lumber
needed in the veterasn' home-build
ing program should receive the at
tention of those Maryland timber
owners who are in position to help
incerase production of this vital ma
terial, District Forester A. r. Bond.
of Bel Air, declares.
Congress has appropriated fifteen
million dollars for access road to
timber, in the national forests of the
deep south and far west, but righ;
here in Maryland, Mr.. Bond says, are
stands of pine, poplar and other
easily worked woods that could help
out materially in the shortage at a
very satisfactory money return.
The Department of State Forest
and Parks, Mr.. Bond goes on to say,
is ready to cooperate with timber
owners in marking trees to be taken
from the stand in a way to ensure
maximum money returns, and at the
same time to leave a healthy young
growing stock for future timber
crops.
Applications for this marking SER
vice should be made to the District
Forester, A. R. Bond, Bel Air. Nd,
who will assign an expert for the
work. No charge is made for an ex-
animation of timber tract to deter
mine whether it is in condition to be
logged, nor for marking up to 25
acres. For acreage in excess of 25
a marking charge is made of fifteen
dollars per day to cover expenses of
the Departments representative.
