THE FORESTRY BANK
@. What is the Forestry Bank?
A The Forestry Bank was
created by the 1860 Legis-
lature to give long-term
financial assistance to land
owners who desire to grow
trees or improve existing
timberlandS.
@. Where is the Forestry Bank
office located?
A. The Forestry Bank is
located in Room 209 of the
Southern Farm Bureau Life
Insurance Company Build
ing, corner of Amite and
President streets in jack
son.
@. Who is the Executive Di-
rector?
A. The executive director Is
Russell E. Hobgood, who
was appointed by the Trust
ees to actively manage the
Forestry Bank program.

million acres of idle land in
Mississippi, which could be
put to use in growing trees.

from the sale of timber and
timber products. Yet, we
have the potential for max
ing our timber industry
produce $1-billion a year in
personal income three
times what it is today. It

benefit. The landowner will
