U S Forest Service reports big payoff in cottonwood improvement
Washington AP The Forest Service reports the first major payoff from its stepped up program to develop superior cottonwood trees for the South. Chief McGuire says 613000 cullings of genetically enhanced cottonwoods have been shipped to state and private nurseries in the lower Mississippi Valley. The trees, begun 15 years ago, will grow up to 12 feet per year, about 20 percent faster than ordinary cottonwoods, with four station stock producing millions of new trees in three years. Improved stock is growing in Arkansas Mississippi Louisiana Tennessee and Kentucky, with many available to landowners in 1972 73 planting season. About 750000 acres are suitable for cottonwoods in the South. Availability of improved stock should boost reforestation and soil stabilization of the Mississippi River lowlands. Cottonwood pulp is used for fine magazine paper. wood for plywood stock veneer furniture frames and more. Planted stands could yield 80 cords of pulpwood and over 24000 board feet per acre within two decades.
