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

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.

Shown “Oil” Film
“Oil For Tomorrow”, the new
sound and color motion picture re
cently completed by the interstate
Oil Compact Commission was
shown this morning to engineering
freshmen of A. & M. in the As
sembly Hall under the supervision
of Harold Vance, head of the Pe
troleum Engineering department.
“Oil for Tomorrow”, with 250
scenes from 13 of the oil produc
ing states, is beautifully filmed in
technicolor. 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.
Georgia, known as the Empire
State of the South, is one of the
original 13 states.

He may enter at one corner and
travel diagonally across the forest
for 8.5 miles. This is one half the
diagonal distance, as he will be
running out of the forest after he
passes the mid-point.
