I Farmers Seeking Forestry Guidance

By WALTER ELLIS I President. New Jersey Farm Bureau ■ Cutbacks in the state I budget have virtually ■ eliminated the forestry ■ • management program once provided by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The Bureau of Fores' j Management no longer A aids in managing private U woodlands. As a result, owners must rely on private consultantsand pay for what was once '' j free-or ask county agricultural extension it agents if they have the time ,s to spare from other e projects. y About 40 per cent of New y Jersey's land is in forest, s The bulk of the 1,856.800 acres-nearly 1,540,000-is privately owned. Eight counties actually have more woodland today than they did in 1899-Sussex. Warren. Morris. Hunterdon. Mercer. Mpnmouth. Somerset and Salem. ACCORDING TO a recent study. New Jersey has been under-harvesting its hardwoods in the northern part of the state, while softwoods in the southern coun- ^ ties are being harvested faster than the trees are growing. Forestry management services are in great need. Last summer, the New Jersey Farm, Bureau conducted its ofrn survey of our members. We found that the majority owned a woodlot. but that very few had any sort of management plan. With the increased popularity of wood heat, the market has increased dramatically for firewood sales. Our farmers told us they would like t£ turn a profit from their woodlots. but STONE HARBOR DUPLICATE BRIDGE C l.l'B WINNERS: June 13 NORTH AND SOI TH Isl Mr and Mrs Frank Mead? 123 2nd Libby Toner & Bill Coan 105 3rd Dorris Barker and Louise Kraus 103 4th Mr and Mrs Bert Grail 95 EAST & WEST 1st Helen-Jo Owens and Dot Welsh 103 2nd Mr and Mrs. Ronald Trieharl 101 3rd Gene Fisher and Henry Buchianico jr. 96 4th Belly Parker and Esther Stobbart 85

they didn't know enough about management techni ques. They were reluctant to depend 'on consultants who often were wearing a second, hat as loggers. The New Jersey Farm Bureau is encouraging its members to take a closer look at their woodlots to determine whether they can become valuable assets during these tight times. Foresters are generally reluctant to place a pricetag on a woodlot, because there are many variables.

i Estimates range from $100 to $2,000 per acre for t woods in northern New ; Jersey, to $10 to $200 per i acre for woods in the Pinelands. Les Alpaugh, a i supervising forester with ; the state's Bureau of Forest Management says a > good site should be able to t grow 1,000 board feet of > timber per acre per year. t IN A STAND of trees > where the diameter ranges » from 14 to 24 inches at i breast high, a reasonable i estimate is 200 board feet per tree per year. Therefore, you should be able to reap $100 for every five trees in this growth range. Remember, this is just a general estimate. And never sell your trees based on guestimates. When you get the urge to sell to the first person who makes an offer at your door, just think of the

farmer in Georgia who was offered $150,000 by a logger for his timber. The farmer consulted his extension agent, who in turn called a forester, who placed the farmer's woodlands at a true value of $500,000. The New Jersey Farm Bureau is currently exploring ways to help our members obtain good, sound, forest management services. We hope to be able to offer a program in \ S the near future, y j /^/

Scholarship Given by Auxiliary OCEAN CITY - The officers of the County Medical Society Auxiliary met here at the home of Rita Turner, vice president, to formulate plans for the coming year. Mildred Durham, outgoing president, and Jeannine Koknar, president, reported on the 57th annual meeting of the Medical Society of N.J. Auxiliary at Resorts International, Atlantic City. There the county auxiliary presented an interesting scrap book and in the art display Shirley Borisow won second place. Ocean City High School graduate Jacqueline Biddie was given a $1,000 Nursing Scholarship from the auxiliary, and $125 was given to the county Red Cross to send a local teenager to Ursinus College for a five-day course in leadership. This not only pertains to Red Cross activities but to school and community in general. PLANS AND guidelines were set up for an infant car seat loan. The seat will be used to take an infant home from Burdette Hospital and for use for a month afterwards. Car accidents involving children are increasing at an alarming rate, it was noted. For the p&st year the auxiliary has been supplying the Atlantic City Salvation Army#with good used clothing and personal donations The need for this is great, as each person who spends the night there must shower and put on clean used clothing. The condition of their clothing requires that most of it be burned This project will be continued.
