ting timber from time TO time
from his we'll stocked 10 acre
tract one mile west of Williams
vile on Highway 16. Such cut
ting has improved the stand, and
has paid dividends during MI.
Hembree's spare time.
The first cut was made in 1910,
when $135 of crossties and pulp
wood was cut. Again in 1945 MI.

of saw lumber, and this year he
cut $l70 worth of pulp wood.
L. c. Strahan, farm forester of
Brookhaven, reports that c. H.
Moak of the Montgomery com
munity of Lincoln county has
just sold 26 units of pulpwood off
