When we think of the great
crops of the South, we think COM
monty of cotton, tobacco, fruits,
soybeans, peanuts. Yet the great
est of the Southern crops in acre
age today, by far, is the trees of
the South.
More than half of the total land
area of the South is covered with
commercial timber-56 percent
or 183,000,000 acres of it.
This '.erop' which dwarfs all
others in size means steadily in
creasing wealth for the South to-
day. For generations past, our
great American forests seemed
an almost limitless gift of ma
ture. But in recent years, we
have begun to see trees not as a
natural resource to be consumed
but as a crop to be planted, cul-
tivated, and continually renewed.
Thus, woodlands are no longer
wild forests to be destroyed or
neglected. They r a true crop
to be harvested and replanted. to
be protected from fire, insects and
disease, to be improved from
generation to generation, as al
the great crops of the South have
been improved.
Rise of Paper Industry
The major reason for thinking
Of trees as a crop is the rise OF
the paper industry in the South
Great paper mills require perpet-
ual sources of wood. They can

The Crop That Grows so Feet High

not afford to "mine" the forests.
Giant machines in costly mills
must have a continuous crop of
trees at hand to draw on forever.
AS an example of this, the Moss
Point Mill of the international
Paper Company uses approx
mately 500 cords of pulpwood
per day. During l947 the local
mill paid almost two million dol
lars to farmers, wood dealers and
other timber owners in Missis-
sippi for pulpwood. An addition
al $437, 900 was paid in railroad
freight and barge transportation
chargesl in bringing the wood to
the mill.
So, paper companies look on
trees as plants born of seeds and
seedlings, growing ripe and be-
ing harvested. They realize that
trees growing wild in nature do
not fare SO well as trees that are
properly cultivated. The choking
competition of plant against
plant, holding back the growth Of
all, is seen in a forest just as it
is in any neglected field of wheat,
corn, cotton, fruit or tobacco.
This is why frequent cuts Of
timber, for example. if properly
done, actually increase the growth
of trees.
! Such thinking, as old as eivili-
cation itself where farm crops
are concerned, is still relatively
new in regard to woodlands. But
The Chronicle-star combined with the Moss Point advertiser., 1948-06-11

it is beginning to spread through
out the South, as a result of the
consistent educational efforts of
the woodland industries and or
carnations, and government
agencies.
As a result, partial cutting is
now being done for the purpose
of maintaining rapid growth.
Harvest cutting of mature tim
Der is carried on in a manner to
allow for restocking the wood
lands and perpetuating the wealth
of the South.
This idea of trees as a crop re-
suits also in the planting of mil
lions of seedlings each year to re-
place cut trees on both company
owned and non-company lands;
seedlings which in 20 years grow
large enough for commercial cut
ting.
Thus, from 1871 to 1945, a pc
Rod of war with acute labor
and seeding shortages, the pulp
and paper mills distributed TO-
100000 seedlings for planting on
non-company lands. And in the
l945-1946 planting eason alone,
the forest industries of the
Southern states purchased ap-
proximately 10000. 900 seedlings
for planting on their lands and
on non-company lands. MANY
millions more would have been

Huge Display To
Be Feature OF
Mill Open House

One of the largest exhibits OF
It's kind ever built by a paper
company will feature the open
house program and public tour OF
the Moss Point mill, to be held
here from Monday. June IA
through Thursday, June II.
According TO mill officials, this
exhibit is approximately So feet
long and 10 feet high at its top
most peak, and will be the cul-
minating highlight Of the sched-
uled tour Of the mill.
II viii be mounted in the fin
ishing room OF the local min
and will be on view to the
public OF Moss Point and vicin-
ity during the second and third
days of the open house celebra-
ton, June is and 16, during which
time the mill will be open to all
residents. II will likewise be seen
by employees and members of
their families on June IT, the
concluding day of the celebra-
ton TO be known as Family Day.
The exhibit is made up of three
connecting panels. The first is
given over TO the products eth
er made directly or contributed to
indirectly by the eight mills and
converting plant Of the South
ern Kraft Division and the COM
pany's five other converting
plants in the South. The second
panel shows the products of the
Northern mills, and the third the
products Of the mills of Canadian
International Paper company.

Gated so years ago, at the time
OF the formation of the company,
and also the location of the pres
ent mills Of International's along
with the company's plants. The
original mills are shown by a
series of blue lights which go
on for Is seconds, and the pres
ent mills and plants by a series
of red lights. which r on for the
following as seconds. These al
ternating blue and red lights OPP
crate continually while the ex-
hibit is on display.
A total of 153 products is shown
on the three panels, and booklets
describing these products and
where they are made will be
distributed to visitors as they 60
by.
This exhibit, according to the
Moss Point mill executives, has
been designed to show employees
and residents the far-reaehing
effect of the company's paper
products on the economy and
living habits of the country. 1t
is the first time, they pointed
out, that it has been possible to
see at a glance the full scope Of
the company's operations from
the standpoint of the e~nd-products
which il produces or to which it
contributes.
A total of Is of these exhibits
has been built and will be shown
simultaneously during the week
of June IA through 10 throughout
this country and Canada. Each
of the eight mills of the South
ern Kraft Division, including the

Two Million Paid For Pulpwood
BY =. v. LOGAN
Division Superintendent
Wood Procurement Department

The international Paper Company owns in the State
of Mississippi approximately FAC, 00e acres of timber land,
$4,000 of which are located in Jackson County, Mississippi.
This acreage is selectively cut periodically for %pulpwood,
saw logs and other forest products. Conservation practices
have been increased on company owned lands by inten-
sive forestry practices, leading to the continuous de-
velopment and growth of pine timber stands.
Forest fires are the greatest single problem faced by
all timberland growers. Fires destroy 500 more trees in
the south each year than all the trees that are cut for
pulpwood. The Southern Pulpwood Conservation Asso-
citation, of which the International Paper Company is a
charter member, sponsors special forestry training camps
for the farm youths to teach them how to take better care
of their woodlands, especially in the prevention and sup
preston of forest fires.

Two Million Dollars For Pulpwood In At

The Moss Point Mill is supplied with wood by truck,
barge and railroad. The average consumption of the mill
is 500 cords of ~pulpwood per day. In 1947 the Mill paid
out nearly 2 million dollars to farmers, wood dealers and
other timber owners in Mississippi for pulpwood.
In 1947 the mill spent approximately $435,000 for
railroad freight and barge transportation on pulpwood.
All pulpwood in moving from the woods to the mill
goes at some stage of the journey by trucks. The hauling
of approximately 10000 cords of pulpwood for this mill
per year requires more than It's trucks at all times either
hauling into the mill by truck or to rail heads and barge
landings.
In l947 about 1900 men were steadily employed in
Mississippi in the %pulpwood operations supplying the
Moss Point Mill.

Scott Nearing Tells
Forum j. ). Faces
TotaIitarian State

There is no avoiding it, lecturer
Scott Nearing told meeting spon-
sored by the World Events Commit
tee at the YWCA, Seventh and K
streets NV. yesterday, ownership
means power, ownership has been
becoming collective in a corpor-
ate way, thus authoritarianism has
been increasing and totalitarianism
will be the end.
Benjamin G. Marsh of the Peo-
pies Lobby, who took the other
side of the debate on whether the
country can survive without resort
ing to totalitarianism, was more op-
timistic. What is needle, he said,
is for the government to take over
bacis industries. Those would In
clude and motors, he went on.
The idea that socialism means
totalitarianism, less been spread by
propaganda, he said. If the Amer
ican people gave in to totali-
tarianism, he concluded, it would
not be due OF the monopolist but to
native stupidity. He added later
that he did not think the American
Peojle are stupid.
Carmody Sees Scare Campaign.
John M. Carmody, former Mari
time Commissioner, who acted as
chairman, said he did not know
much about Russia. although he
had Travelled there, but he did think
that Russia was soaring the United
States into expending fireplace
able natural resources, such as oil IN
supplying aid abroad. He said he
thought Russia would like to see
the United States send additional
billions worth of arms and ammuni-
ton to China.
DR.. Nearing, whoe writings, con-
sidered radical at the time, caused
him to be dropped from the Uni.
versity of Pennsylvania faculty 80
years ago, was closely questioned by
group Of soldiers and American
University students.
A soldier wanted to know II Or.
Meanings use Of the term "totali-
tarianism" was not the cause OF
misunderstanding. He wanted to
know what DR.. Nearing meant by
the term.
Nearing Explains Term.
That had all been provided for by
semantics expert, D1 Nearing
said, who had supplied the defini-
ton used by the Library Of Con-
gress in cataloguing books. 1t was
rule by a single party with strong
centeral government.
The university students told DR..
Nearing that some compulsion was
necessary in any government and
questioned him closely on his ref
erence to police. One student want
ed to know If police were not
necessary even in the small Ver-
mont town (Jamaica) where he now
lives.
A woman asked Or. Nearing II he.
were not a serf in that he wore
shoes and clothes made in factories
and travelled by railroad. He said
he agreed with that statement, the
only escape from the system was
