Excerpt from Common Forest Trees of Georgia: How to Know Them This handbook has been prepared in response to a growing demand for information regarding our com mon forest trees. These requests are largely the result of a widening appreciation that timber is a marketable commodity of increasing value, and that by rightly handling young timber it quickly grows into a merchantable product that will add yearly to the farm income as well as enhance the value of the farm, both as a salable property and as a comfort able and attractive home. Georgia has a great variety of trees producing useful and valuable wood. Timber is the best amp to grow on certain soils and locations on the farm. Many farms have, for example, some hillsides, or worn-out gullied sandy or wet lands better adapted for growing timber than any other crop. To rightly utilize all the farm is a sign of good farm manage ment. It is natural for young people to be interested in trees. Many will become farm owners of the future, and a knowledge of the trees will add an interest in their lives and prove to be a very material asset. The County Agents, dealing as they do with both the present and future owners of timberland, will be aided by this manual in acquiring a better knowledge of the uses and value of our common forest trees. Altogether 78 trees are described, all of which are native to the State.
