B. SIMPSON Growing trees as a crop is both business and hobby for John H. Willoughby, Marion County's five- Picnic-Pak SLAB Stewing Chicken All Meat acre contest winner. Pine Burr Pure PORK Mr. Willoughby was judged on on forest improvement practices carried out on his five-acre woodland plots.

These practices followed a seven-point program: 1) Firelanes li)o LBS. 3 LBS- GC mm 3W system to determine the distance required for each tree: An average diameter of the trees is calculated and to this average figure 6 is added. For example, three trees. 8( 10 and 12 inches in diameter have an average diameter of 10 plus the 6, to make 16 feet, required for proper spacing between the trees. Diameters are calculated by using a woodman's rule, holding it at arm length against tree trunk and about 50 inches above the ground, which is about breast high for the average woodsman.

In following the time schedule, a general cutting is made every 6 years. However, this cycle is not necessarily followed in the thinning of pulpwood postsize trees. Culling inferior trees in his woodland is the Same as keeping weeds out of his cotton patch or pasture, were plowed for protection against wild fires; 2) dense chimbs of trees were thinned to meet D-plus-6 spacing; 3) time schedule was set up for cutting operation; 4) crop trees were taken at a definite rate per acre; 5) poor specimen trees were cut to improve quality of woodland; 6) inferior trees were removed by girdling and poisoning; and 7) open areas were under-planted with seedlings. John used the D-plus-6 spacing tequila 9 as it prevents worthless vegetation from reducing the yield. Culling allows ample room for the remaining trees to grow and develop, permitting adequate sunlight and soil moisture to penetrate and increasing thereby both the quantity and quality of merchantable -timber.

Trees are marked distinctively selective cutting and for deadening. Those to be cut for merchantable timber are marked with two little dabs of paint with one splotch about breast high or higher and the other near the ground. Culls are marked with an Woodland owners can't lose in this contest; you prepare for more profit on your five-acre contest plot by: Protecting your trees from fire, insects and disease; planting open areas, thus putting idle acres to work for you; removing unprofitable trees, thus releasing more profitable ones for better growth; harvesting by proper methods, thus securing income and improving growing conditions for, crop trees; finding for yourself what properly managed timber will do on your land; helping others by telling of the experience you gain, and by showing your results. Expert forestry methods, technical guidance and assistance have been provided Mr. Willoughby through the Marion County Soil Conservation District, by -the Soil Conservation Service, and the Mississippi Forestry Service.
