I woutd tike to discuss witiiyou
the selective s. stein of cutting piiie
timber; why we practice it. and
what it means to you the woodland

First, let's take a took at the

vice. In the catty tMO'stheU. S.
F. S. began ptacing government
land in Texas under Hood forest
management Today, some twenty
years .,:er, wecansj'^tliercsuHs.

m!)ji Ii you want to prove this
\ takcalookat sjme gov-
ernment land or land belonging to
a!.irgeeomp:)ny the next time you
gjt a chance.
Why do we practice selectivt
cutting'.' Welt, wepiactice it bc-
, tuse it produces tite best quality oi
timber at the fastest rate. If you
own timber you certainly want it
to grow as fast as it can, but at the
same time you also w ant it to bt
straigist and free of large timbs and
k! < s. Cutting your timber on i
ftt < notet'titnit basis docs not ac-
eotnptishtius, and clear cuttin}
certainly does not. The onty practi'
cat way is the selective way: thin
ning out the timber by removin;
th cuiis so tii:it onty t'nci)e t tree
aieteit to grow to maturity.
Now for the important nuettior.

t't start :;tt over again and wa
u!..<ut fifteen years before youea
' ) itattdov.n again. Certainty
you w i t get more money oycuttin
alt the trees in a young stand thai
you wouid by cutting onty one-hai
or one-third of them by the setec
ti\e method, but what have you tef
beside- bare ground. Oiitheothei
hand, by selective marking am
cutting you have the best tintbej
left on the ground to grow. Inai
additional ten or fifteen years yn
wilt be harvesting poies and 3aw
togs. Witt selective marking pay
off?
You bet it wiil. Just think about
t when you get the check in your
hands for the pole and sawtog sate
.i ,d rcinembcr that if you had ctcai
cut the stand when it was young
you wouid have nothing in yout
haiids and onty brush and weeds on
your land.
The finat question, of course, i'
.i.v no you get your timber mark-
ed for selective cut. Attained
foicster of the Texas Forest Ser-
vice witl be gtad to do it for you
free of ctiarge. You need only write
to District J of the Texas Forest
Service, Box 4ti0, Lufkin, Texa

like to start your timber on
