Excerpt from Prolonging the Cut of Southern Pine, Vol. 1 The present policy of most holders of stumpage in the South is clear cutting, Which is followed by accidental or intentional broadcast burning of the slash, and sale of the land to settlers or land companies; and this is attempted in spite of the fact that there is at present no urgent demand for much of this pine land and that these timber companies still have ten to thirty years' cut in sight. A few farsighted firms have attempted in places to limit the present cut to a certain diameter, reserving the small trees for a future crop. This is a move in the right direction, yet analysis shows that adherence to such a rigid diameter limit does not leave the most vigorous trees. It is not good business deliberately to leave an investment in the woods and secure only 3 per cent increase When, With the proper supervision, 6 or 7 per cent might be obtained on the same capital, yet that is just What is being done by most operators Who are planning on a second cut. The others are neglecting an opportunity to prolong their business, lessen their annual depreciation charges, and secure future increase in stumpage values.
