t TUESDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 12, 1944 THE BATTALION PAGE 7 Pulpwood Harvests •Destroys East Texas Pine Forest Reserve * Cutting of pulpwood in east Tex- &s is outrunning the capacity of mills in this and nearby states to ^consume it, says C. W. Simmons, farm forester for the A. and M. College Extension Service. Much •of it is salvage from the January storm damage area in counties around Nacogdoches. Simmons says that a large v amount of pulpwood was cut and stacked in the woods during the prolonged rainy period last spring. Trucks being unable to reach it freely, hauling was delayed and # some mills closed for short periods. But the long, dry summer enabled hundreds of trucks to operate. As a result so large a volume was moved that yarding space at the * mills became congested, obliging haulers to deliver at any landing place available along all weather ’ roads. Long ricks of pulpwood now are common along highways and railroads, town lots, on farm fronts, and at cross road stores n and in villages. Frequently, fleets of trucks making last hauls for the day stand loaded all night be fore space and unloading assist ance are provided. * This high production points to the need for reform in cutting Used Cars Wanted ~ We pay cash for any make or model used car. . Brazos Motor Co. » STUDEBAKER DEALER At the “Y” - Ph. 2-7009 * methods, Simmons believes. The | pulpwood harvest, he says, con tinues to be more destructive of Texas’ pine timber resources than any other form of logging. The volume of pulpwood required is only five to eight per cent of the total cut of pine timber yearly, but the usual operation is to remove all pines on a tract. This leaves only useless switches of stunted pine saplings and a mass of slash for a fire hazard on land which mature can reforest only with worthless or low value hardwoods. Most pulpwood should be pro duced from thinnings of immature stands of pine, he explains. This should remove from one to three cords at a time, but the general practice is to cut the kind of trees which should be left for a timber crop and leave the inferior growth which is well adapted for pulp. Moreover, much wood useful for pulp obtainable from the tops of trees cut for saw timber and ties is allowed to go to waste, Simmons says. A pedestrian used to be one who walks. Now he’s one who runs and jumps. DO YOUR PART—BUY BONDS Tuscon, Arizona, is the only walled city that ever existed on the North American continent.

AIEE Plans Swimming Party and Picnicking Wednesday Afternoon Swimming followed by a picnic will constitute the entertainment at the AIEE party Wednesday eve ning at the Bryan Country Club swimming pool.

Olschner stated that only those that have paid the assessment would be allowed to attend the party. He added that this was the case because arrangements had to be made on the basis of the num ber that had paid.

Given its world pre miere at the New Orleans meeting of the Oil Compact Commission re cently, the film was acclaimed the outstanding pictorial achievement of its kind. The picture unfolded the gripping story of oil from its prehistoric origin to ultimate utilization by a modern civilization. All stages of prospecting, drilling, pipelining, manufacturing and the myriad uses of petroleum products were woven into the picture.
