Forester Says There's
Money In Treetops

Treetops left to rot in Holmes
County woods are costing the
landowners thousands of dollars
each year according to E. p. Nc
MILAN, forester. When the logger
makes a contract with the land-
owner for the sawlogs on his pro-
perry the landowner usually fi-
cures the income from his timber
land is at an end. This is far
from true, the forester said, for
the pine treetops can be made
into pulpwood.
Local pulpwood cutters are
paying $1.50 to ZOO a unit stump
age and the average pine wood
tops will produce two units per
acre.
The treetops must be cut in
to pulpwood while they are still
green, Mr.. Mcmillan said, so il
you are going to sell your tim
Der get in touch with pulpwood
cutter and let him work up the
treetops as the timber is being
cut.
The income from Holmes TIM
berland will increase and at the
same time landowners will be-
improving their woodlot. The
treetops into pulpwood. If you do
leaves very little fuel for forest
fires and lowers the chance of
wood damaging insect attacks.
Mann Smith, Lexington pulp
wood cutter, has been cutting
treetopsinto pulpwood. If you do
not live in his area contact E. p.
Mcmillan, Area Forester, and he

Concerts Planned
Current Year

An annual concert series pre-
senting the worlds distinguished
artists in Holmes County is nc
longer a dream! The Lexington
Municipal Concert Association
has been organized for the sole
purpose of bringing renowned
concert attractions to the COM
munity and thus enlarging the
county's entertainment, cultural,
and social life. A membership
goal of 500 ha been set. Last year
there were $50 members.
The Municipal Concert Associa-
ton is entirely non-profit and
cooperative. Membership privi-
leges are open to everyone-adults
and children alike. A membership
campaign week will soon be an
nounced and during that week
the entire citizenry will be in
vited to join the association. BY
paying the annual dues, each
member will be entitled to at
tend all the concert presentations
wit bout further admission
charge. There will be no single
admissions sold for any indivi-
dual concert.
Lexington now becomes affili-
ated with other municipalities
throughout the nation operating
on this same municipal plan
presenting outstanding and top
flight concert attractions locally.
AT least three concerts will be
presented during the season, and
as many more as the associations
budget makes possible. Inasmuch
as the Lexington Municipal Con-
cert Association is one hundred
per cent cooperative, the more
members in the association the
larger the budget, and therefore
the greater number of concerts
possible. No additional assess
ments will be made on the men,
bers. Funds accumulated from
membership dues will be used
solely in the presentation of ar
lists selected by the local asso-
cations talent committee. The
programs presented will be de-
signed to please the varied must
cal tastes of the local audiences.
The number of memberships in
the association will, of necessity,
be limited to the seating capa-
city of the Grammar School au-
ditorium, and memberships will
be available only during the one
campaign week. At the conclu-
sion of the designated week, the
membership rolls of the associa-
ton will be closed for the sea-
son. Everyone, therefore, is urged
to watch for the announcement
of the campaign week, and all
are advised to secure their mem
berships then without delay.
