Reforestation is a matter we
should all be vitality interested
in. For years and years many
people in this section of the State
have made their living out of the
timber that was so plentiful here.
Many have made fortunes from
the virgin forests that covered
the hillsides of South Mississippi.
Practically all of this timber is
now cut out but there is a far
greater demand for timber today
than there was in the past, and
today an acre of small second
growth timber is worth more
than an acre of virgin pine sold
for in the past. A great por-
ton of the land in South Missis-
sippi is only good for growing
timber. We must improve our
system of reforestation. We must
keep out forest fires, and we
must protect a persons land
when they are paying us a tax
for fire protection; and in the
protection of this timber we will
also be helping to protect the wild
life and game.
