FENCE COWS OUT FOR
GOOD PINES SAYS WHITFIELD

"When / set out pines, the first
thing / did was build a fence" says
&c. H. Hensley Of Bakersville,
Route 8.
According to Fred E. Whitfield,
Extension forestry specialist at
North Carolina State College,
Hensley put White pines on pas
ture he couldn't maintain. Hensley
figured that a good woodland was
better than a poor pasture.
This pasture" was coming up in
pines instead of grass anyway,
says Whitfield, so Hensley decided
to give nature a hand. The "volun-
teers" were coming up all over the
place, but they were not thick
enough in certain spots. Whitfield
says when the pines come up vol
unfairly in thin spots, they have a
tendency to become limby. To off
set this tendency, Hensley rein
forced the natural seedlings with
seedlings he obtained from a nur-
sery. Later, adds Whitfield, the
early trees will be pruned to pre-
vent their becoming wolf trees.
Hensley built a fence to keep
cattle off the area. When cattle
are allowed to Craze mountain
woodlands, they will eat White
pines, Yellow poplar, White oak,
and other valuable species, states
Whitfield. This allows other less
valuable trees to fill in. In addition
to eating the trees, cows also dam
age the small trees by trampling
them, warns Whitfield. Larger
trees are also damaged by tramp
ling, because the top six inches Of
soil are packed and the roots are
