The television trade is anticipating
this match with delight. 1t will be

Why are two such popular shows

Vincent Edwards, Casey himself,

licking the Hillbillies, No. l in last

I'VE might be able to pick UP a
whole new audience, coming on an

Casey is likely to continue his
practice no matter what the outcome
of the Hillbillies feud. AS proof you
need only see Edwards $50, 900 dress

And what is NBC doing? It has
refused to abdicate Wednesday night

when was boy, the game was called Keeping
up With the JOneses'': If your neighbOr bought
run-abOut car with self-starter, you had to buy
one with self-starter plus windshield wiper!
Today the game is called Keeping up With
the Status Symbols and it's much more cOmpi-
Gated to play, because status symbols change much
faster than run-abouts used to.
For instance, you live on a bread-and-water
diet for two years to save up for vacation on the
French Riviera. Then you find that only bump

| Wood is a universal material
and no one has ever been able
to make satisfactory count OF
its many uses. Just one well
known wood celluloSe plastic, in
Guiding its conversion products,
claims 5000 uses - all the way
from dolls eyes to advertising
signs. How much wood is used
in the form of lumber in the
| United States during an average
year? The answer is: Some 30
billion board feet. To visualize
that, think of boardwalk 40
feet wide and one inch thick; in
your imagination extend the
boardwalk from where you stand
to three-quarters of the way to
the moon. That's 80 billion board
feet. Over twc-thirds of that
amount goes into building con-
struction. The second largest
use of wood is for fuel. At the
Three hundred and fifty pounds
of this amount is each person S
annual share of all kinds of pa
per. When paper was made
chiefly of rags, the annual share
was less than 10 pounds per
person.
How can you affect the fores-
try outlook? Management. If
you own cutover land or aban-
dOned fields. plant trees. If you
have established stands, draw
up management plan SO that
you will get the most out of your
land. This would include protec-
ton from fire, and insects and
disease. Improve what you have.
If there are too many trees per
acre, thin them out. Rid your
woodlot of the poor quality
trees. If there are not enough
trees per acre. adopt methods
to encourage reproduction And
finally, wheE you harvest, util-
ize everything possible. About
onefourth of the timber cut
each year is not used for any
purpose.
Forestry in the United States
has come of age. Progress in
The 'est decade has been out
standing Americas forest stu
alton offers great possibilities
for Increasing timber supplies

ture timber supply lies in the
hands of those one -out-of -every-
ten American families who own

The state of Virginia recog-
nizes the importance Of the farm
wO0dlot and has put trained
personnel at your disposal. The
forester stands ready to assist
you. He places the very highest
value on the living forest it
is the end for which he is work
ing. He knows that the forest
is the friend of man and of the
land in ways and to a degree
bey Ond calculation. But he
knows. too, that the use Of wood
does more than any other one
thing to give the tree an eco
nomic value in itself, just as
the lie of flour makes the grow
ing of wheat a practical propo-
sitiOn for the farmer. It is not
the intention of the forester 10
either destroy or hoard forests.

The Small WOodlot Owner Can
Affect Outlook OF Forestry

Many of us realize the impor-
lance Of timber to our economy
and way Of life, but how many
of us do more than think about
it? / am referring here to that
one out Of every ten American
families who owns this nation S
timber Sixty per cent of our
timber is owned by such people
as farmers, businessmen, house
wives. and people from many
walks of life not related to the
forest industry. Eighty-six per
dent of our forests is in small
blocks of 100 acres or less and
these are primarily farm wood
lots.
You that small woodlot
owrer can affect the outlook
of forestry to this state and the
nation But how?
To understand the answer, we
must look at the timber Situa-
ton today Eighty per cent Of
our saWtimber is pine. fir. and
other softWood trees. One of the
most favorable features in our
timber situation is that growth
is increasing. AT the present.
We are growing about as much
as we are cutting However. we
are cutting more SOftWOOdS than
we are growing and it is the ex-
cessiVe increase in hardwoods
that is making up the differ
ence In thinking about growth
and cut, the most important
consideration should be whether
there is enough growth of the
right kind of timber to meet our
current needs and. at the same
time. provide the timber CAPT
tai we will need in the years to
come.
Today. one out of every eour
acres of Americas forests is
poorly stocked with trees or not
stocked at all We are not max
