Power Supply Boosted

Delaware Power & Light crews
have just completed a construction
job along the dual highway east
of Camden, Delaware. In fact, about
100 customers in the region had a
brief interruption to their electric
service on Friday, July %, so the
final switch to higher voltage could
be made.
New homes are mushrooming
in this area" commented A. B.
Parsons, division manager for the
electric company. "Our change from
2.400 to 1900 volts will assure de-
pendable service and peak perfor-
nance Of electric appliances. 1t
gives us back log, too, for future
development of the area east of
Camden.
Before increasing the voltage,
continued Mr.. Parsons, "our crews
built approximately one half mile
of new pole line, pulled in the
necessary conductors for carrying
the load and installed sixteen new
transformers. It's our aim to- be
ready with electric service as the
demand occurs.

Money From Your Trees

Interest in tree farming-the
growing of timber as a crop is
gaining throughout the country,
says Bruce Frazier, Farm Planner
with the Soil Conservation Office in
Dover. Thirty-six states now have
active tree farm programs, which
have added more than three and a
half million acres of woodland last
year.
Behind this increasing fervor for
foresting lies the basic stimulant
of good markets. Unless the farm
er can sell his saw logs, his fence
posts, and his Christmas trees, he
has little incentive to investigate
woodlot management For geo.
graphical reasons, there isn't al
ways a local market for timber,
yet the overall market outlook is
bright.
There are some 4A million
small landowners in the nation
today. They hold 579o of the coun-
try's forest land. and each year sell
200 million dollars worth of saw
logs. pulp wood, posts, turpentine,
Christmas trees, maple syrup, and
other forest products.
The landowner who has never
sold timber might begin by dis
cussing his problem with train
ed forester. one of some $4,000 in
the country. The forester can

termine steps needed for sound
management. On most woodlands
the immediate needs are thinning
for more "growing room" of desir-
able species, cutting of mature
trees, and keeping fire out of the
woods
The Department of Agriculture

number of ways to provide increas-
ed aid on forestry matters for small
woodland owners. The Department
