Southern Region
Of Forest Service
Ends Tenth Year
With all employees , present en
ergies -directed to forestry projects
supporting the war effort, the
Southern Region of the United
States Forest Service this week
entered upon its eleventh year of
operation.
The Region, which embraces
eleven States south of the borders
of Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri
and Kansas, was established on
July 1, 1934, with headquarters in
Atlanta, under the administration
of Joseph C. Kircher as Regional
Forester. Mr. Kircher has served
in that capacity to the present
time.
One of the most important pres
ent activities of the service is mak
ing timber available for the heavy
demands of war. The records show
a steady increase in the amount of
timber cut from National forest
lands. Whereas timber cut from
these lands in 1934 had a sales
value of $360,000, the value of
the 1944 cut is expected to reach
$3,000,000. Twenty-five per cent
of the income from timber sales
from the forests is returned in lieu
of taxes to the counties in which
the land lies for use in their school
systems and the maintenance of
public roads. An additional 10 per
cent of the income is used for the
building and maintenance of roads
and trails on the forests.
As another war activity, the For-
Color Films of Orange
Bowl Game Shown Sat.
6:30 in Assembly Hall
Color films taken of the Orange
Bowl game of 1944 will be shown
at 6:30 in the Assembly Hall it
was announced today by the Stu
dent Activities Office. There will
no admission charge.
Manning Smith of the Athletic
Department invites all on the cam
pus but urges that everyone plan
ning to attend to come on time.

est Service is administering the
Timber Production War Project,
set up at the request of WPB to
assist timber growers, naval stores
producers, and lumber and pulp
mills in producing supplies for war.
In the past decade, state and
private timber acreage under fire
protection in the South has in
creased from 47,500,000 acres to
81,000,000, with expenditures for
protection, in which the Federal
Government matches State funds,
increasing from $433,000 in 1934
to $1,091,000 in 1944. Much further
progress will be required before
the 191,000,000 acres of forest land
in the South are brought under
adequate protection.
National Forest acreage has in
creased from 4,560,000 in 1934 to
9,086,000 at present, most of the
land acquired having been in a
cutover, run down condition when
bought by the Forest Service.
These lands are being steadily re
habilitated to bring them to full
productive capacity.
The ten years have seen sub
stantial progress in administration
of the National Forest land. In
1934, administrative costs were 15
cents an acre with income of 7.9
an acre. In 1943 the cost was 22
cents an acre with receipts of 25
cents, with 1944 estimates set at 34
cents in receipts at a cost of 25 or
26 cents per acre. Despite stead
ily increasing timber sales, the an
nual cut on National Forest lands
is budgeted to keep it below the
rate of annual growth.
A forest management organiza
tion has been set up to aid and ad
vise industrial timber growers, a
farm woodland marketing plan is
in effect for benefit of farmers in
more than 100 counties, and a na
val stores conservation program is
being administered by the service
for the AAA.
Much of the credit for forestry
improvement in the South goes to
cooperative State agencies and to
private owners, according to Mr.
Kircher, who pointed out that State
Foresters handle the fire control
program in which State funds are
matched by Federal funds, the Fed
eral Government since the nation
entered the war has spent $640,-
000 additional for fire protection
in critical areas.
Looking to the future, Mr. Kirch
er predicts that the next ten years
will see even greater development
of Southern forests than the past
ten. He is looking forward to see
ing fire control extended to all of
the 191,000,000 acres of forest
lands in the South, and to a pro
gram of some form of cutting con
trol, which will insure the con
tinued productivity of southern
forests and woodlands.
