Greenfield reports 27 new Tree Farm ownerships in Massachusetts in 1956, bringing total to 86 farms and 47,485 acres under private timberland management. Nathan Tufts says the program promotes repeated wood crops and notes strong state forest resources, rising wood demand, and a solid 1956 forest fire record. He cites 575,000 seedlings planted and expects 800,000 to 900,000 more in 1957 as proof that timber farming is a profitable enterprise.
