Trees Are a Farm
Crop That Has
Never Been Surplus

Private land ownerS-induStrieS
and individualS-planted almost a
billion trees in the United States
last year. This year, under the
impetus of the Soil Banks Con-
servation Reserve program, de-
signed to encourage retirement of
farmlands from production Of sur
plus crops, even more trees will be
planted. The 1858 terms Of the Con-
servation Reserve provide special
financial incentives to farmers who
contract to plant trees on some or
all of their crop land.
Trees are a profitable farm crop,
says Harry w. Dengler. University
of Maryland Extension forester.
Properly managed, they will yield a
substantial annual income after
initial establishment and ConServa-
ton Reserve payments under a 10
year contract have run out u. S.
Department of Agriculture experts
predict a rising increase in demand
for timber-25 to 40 percent more
will be needed by 1875 to meet the
needs of a growing population.
Farmers and other land owners
who are interested in joining this
general movement to replant
Americas forests and thereby re-
| plenish a dwindling national re-
source should get in touch with
their county agricultural agent,
local Agricultural Sterilization and
Conservation Committee. or local
district forester suggests Dengler.
County agents can give general
advice about local prospects for
forest enterprises and about State
and Federal programs that offer
financial and technical aid to tree
planters. ASC Committees will eX-
plain the terms of the ConServa-
ton Reserve Program and the
Agricultural Conservation Program.
Technical advice about species
of trees to plant, planting methods,
and other aspects of forest man
agement can be obtained from local
foresters in the Maryland Depart
ment of Forests and Parks.
The sign-up period for tree plant
ing under the 1858 Conservation
Reserve is open until April IS.

day. The cross national

that too many people have been

to have more is ior each of us to
do less. People have even been
led to believe that doing useless
work-or standing around drawing
pay when the work has been

the way for each of us to live

could produce 20 percent more

When this reporter caught up
with Mr.. Boulware and asked him
to explain just what he meant by
the ill-advi5eo attitude" he had
this to say;
The ill-advised attitude which
is responsible for this great loss
in production is caused by several
things. To name a few: feather

of resistance to cooperation with
the boss, from unnecessarily
heightened vacations, too numer-
Gus and too long coffee-breaks,

around avoiding doing something

Younger, father of 10 children,

les o. Zeller, in Grantsville.
After finding the two men not
guilty of manslaughter, Magistrate
Zeller found Steele guilty of fail
ing to keep to the right of the
center line of the highway. He
was fined $40 and it was supended.

trailer operated by Frost and the
local man was thrown from the
coal truck. The rear wheels of the
vehicle ran over Younger, killing

Spring Pruning Can
Improve Quality and
Value of Forestland

Early spring-just before the
growing seasons the best time
to prune trees that are being grown
for eventual sale on good timber
markets. Whether it pays to prune
or not depends. upon the general
condition of the forests and its trees.
Harry w. Dengler, University of
Maryland extension forester, says
that pruning is a slow and tedious
job, but in an otherwise Well-man-
aged forest it helps to produce the
large, straight, clear logs that COM
mand top prices in timber sales.
Local foreSterS are ready to adj
wise small forest owners on man
agement practices-including prun-
ing and how to go about it.
In general, trees at first pruning
should be fairly young, 4 to 6
inches in diameter, so the branches
taken off will be no more than 2
inches thick At this age cuts
heal fast and leave only small
knots, says Dengler
Pruning cuts must be close to
the trunk because stubs take too
long to heal and may let in rot or
insects. Not more than two-thirdS
of the total height of the tree, nor
more than the lower third of the
live crown, should be pruned at
once. A second pruning in a few
years may be necessary to get a
clear 16-foot log or. on the best
timber, to get long clear poles or
two clear logs.
a fairly heavy pruning saw, with
a blade II TO Is inches long, is the
best tool. Pruning high branches
with ladder docs the best job,
but pruning saw on long pole
may be safer and more convenient.
In forestry. as in other business
eS, high quality products sell eaSi-
est and bring the highest prices.
Good lumber from large, straight
clear logs can always command a
market, says Dengler. because good
timber is scarce. Farmers own
about third of U. S. commercial
forest area, but these lands pro-
duce only about onc-Scvcnth of the
Nations saw timber. Better man
agement would greatly increase the
profit possible from these farm
woodlands.

Senator Mansfield and Congress
man Metcalf followed Senator Muir
ray to the Senate Appropriations
Committee to ask it to put up $780,
900 for the Rocky Mountain Labora-
tory at Hamilton and to add 81 mil
lion to the $750,0O0 put up by the
House to help build community hos
pitfalls to be used jointly by Indians
and whites. Neither item was in Pres
ident Eisenhower's budget.
Poison was again cited as an ex-
ample of community which stands
to benefit from community hospital
appropriation. There, the community
plans to build a 32-bed federal-aid
hospital. In order to also meet the
needs of Indians, this should be a
40-bed hospital. The s Indian beds,
for which the federal government
would pay under legislation pushed
through Congress by the Montana
delegation last year, would cost $780,
900 if they are added before con-
struction contracts are signed for the
new hospital, Metcalf said. To add
them later would run the cost to sew

Congressman Metcalf calls on those
who want to practically destroy
both the federally-aided water pollu-
ton control and vocational education
programs to have courage enough to
say so.
He issued his challenge twice-once
in a statement following receipt of a
special message from President Eisen-
hover and again to a subcommittee
hearing bill to further improve the
law under which the federal govern
ment chips in up to one-third of the
cost of local pollution-control facili-
ties. In the latter statement, he spoke
also for Senators Murray and Mans
field and Congressman Anderson.
President Eisenhower recommended
that the federal government discon-
tinue grants for both programs, and
that the states pick them up. To fl
nance the programs, he recommended
that the federal government reduce
its 1919 tax on local telephone serv-
ice to 6 % and allow the states to levy
a 490 tax.
This arrangement would "practi-
cally destroy" both programs in the
20 states, among them Montana,
which would receive less from a %
telephone service tax than they now
get in federal grants for these two
programs, Metcalf said.
"The yield from % tax on local
telephone service in Montana would
be 100000 year." Metcalf said,
quoting from figures provided by the
Presidents advisory committee. 'This
is only a little more than half the
existing federal grants, which total
S715, 1000. This total includes $504,00O
for waste treatment facilities, $780,
600 for older vocational education
programs, and $4,000 for the newer
programs.
"Unsound and misleading" were
the words he used to describe the Eli
senhower proposal. His statement to
the subcommittee included letters in
support of the federally-aided water
pollution control program from Di-
rector A. A. O'Claire of the Mon
tana Fish and Game Department,
Mayors o. L. Brakeman of Helena,
Claude Walter of Kalispell, Alan
Bradley of Missoula, and Earle Knight
of Billings, and resolution from the

FIRE RESEARCH LAB
Missoula will become the forest

conference committee
had agreed to put up the money to
build the lab, on which work could
begin this summer.
Last year, Senators Murray and
