ChisoIm, Branth Are
County Tree Farmers
Stute Tree Farms
Number Over ESQ

Many of you driving down
highway IL have noticed a Tree
Farm sign erected near j. Z. CHS
olm's home near Richland. This
Tree Farm sign indicates that Mr..
Chisolm has a tract of Land that
he is protecting and managing for
the continuous growth of forest
products. More than $50 land
owners are officially registered as
"Tree Farmers" under the Missis-
sippi Tree Farm System. The
Tree Farm signs dotting the states
highways today are standing as
markers of good forestry practices
on more than 100000 acres of pri-
yately owned land in Mississippi.
The Tree Farm idea originated
in the west in 194l.
Today % states have Tree Farm
programs. The American Tree
Farm system is encouraged by
American Forest Products Indus
tries, Inc, Washington, d. c., and
in Mississippi by the Mississippi
Forestry and Chemurgic Associa-
ton, the Southern Pine Associa-
ton and the State Forest Council.
Farmers all over Mississippi
now realize that forestry is a
form of farming and trees are
crop that can be harvested again
and again. The farmers find their
forest land, properly managed and
protected from fire, insects, dis
ease and destructive grazing, can
pay for them repeated cash di-
vidends. The cash dividends in
many instances may be increase
if the farmer does the cutting on
his woodland after his field crops
are harvested. An all-year work
at home" program on the farm
leads to better yearly income than
one that covers only the growing
season.
Another "Tree Farmer is r.
M. Branch of Goodman, whose
farm is located at Richland near
the farm of Mr.. Chisolm. Mr..
Branch has 80 acres of c. c. G..
planted pine that he has put un-
der good forest management.
1t is hoped that other farmers
and woodland owners who are
practicing good forestry will join
The Tree Farm program.
The standards which will quail
fly woodland as part of the Missis-
sippi Tree Farm system are.
(D Woodland must be pro-
tected flom fire. This may be ac-
complished by cooperation with
any forest fire control officers in
localities where fire protection is
available or through the farmers
own efforts where organized pro-
lection is not available.
(2) The landowner must prac-
tice selective cutting or other inn
proved harvesting methods with
the view of assuring continuous
production of timber crops in ac-
cordance with practices approved
by the State Forest Council and
Mississippi Forestry and Chemur-
gic Association. These standards
have been prescribed by the State
Tree Farm Committee and ap-
proved by the State Forestry
Council.

Scandinavian
Renaissance
IsPortrayed

authoritative observers of civil
ization are expressing it in a
steady flow of books, articles,
and pictures: they're lured by
the Renaissance of Scandina-
via. Never before have the
Scandinavian countries and peO-
pies been held in such esteem in
the world.
Their physical prowess has
found its highest expression in
a peculiar form of body culture
and athletics. Their civilization
has peacefully worked out some
Of the most successful solutions
to social problems confronting
a troubled world.
The following excerpts from
a 16-page pictorial presentation
of Scandinavia in CorOnet mag
azine October issue are high
lights worth noting.
Long ago (the Scandina-
vians) learned this: the land
would support them only If they
cO-Ordinated their efforts. Their
success is a prime lesson in hui
man adaptation.
Today, the constitutional
mOnarchies of Scandinavia, CIV
en- over to what has been called
the democratic Middle Way, are
classic examples of effective
parliamentary government in
action.
A universal and deep-rOOted
desire to learn has all but elm
mated illiteracy i'm the North.
Most Scandinavians speak some
English; many know three Ian
guages besides their own.
The adult education program
of the people is the most en-
bracing in the world. A far
mer. having spent long day in
the fields, will scrub his face,
put on a clean shirt, and be off
to night school.
In Sweden $4,000 study cir
cles have 100000 members.
Norwegian hill towns some
times have only a few public
buildings-but one Of them Is
always a library. Compulsory
education in Denmark, 1876
years old, was reinforced by
high schools for adults.
Scandinavian art is an ex-
preston of a fOrceful and Wig
OrOus people Skilled crafts
men are among the most high
~ respected community men,
bers.
In all three countries, CO.
operative stores and intelligent
planning have contributed to
one of the worlds highest living
standards.
Few other governments have
ever manifested az; cqua; o0ii-
Germ for the welfare of their
people as Is expressed In health,
old-age and unemployment pro-
visions. Multiple-housing units
and public buildings are at once
utilitarian and beautiful. Pro-
gressive methods of teaching
have made learning a lifelong
process.
Sweden can only cultivate
bare ten percent of Its land.
But scientific farming and con-
slant care have made every foot
