Timber Profitable To
County Woodland
Owners Reported

Data put out by the State Tax
Commission shows that timber
is the number two" cash crop
in Mississippi and among those
in Jackson county who report
that they are making good money
out of woodland improvement
and controlling fires in their
woods are T. l., Murphy. G.. f.
Martin. G. A. Tootle, c. F. Rog-

S. Department of Agriculture re-
ported.
The Soil Conservation Service
personnel of jackson county will
cooperate in every way possible
to help the farmers conserve and
protect woodlands, Mr.. Strange
said.
Fire destroys many million feet
of timber each year. No exact
figure car be given as to the pos
sible increase in production of
timber, had good forestry man
agement been put into effect, but
an increase of al least one-third
more could be expected. experts
said.
Timber's number one" enemy
in Jackson county is fire. The so
called annual grass fires" de
stroy many young seedlings, slow
down growth of trees and cause
permanent injury to merchanta-
lie timber, experts stated.
