Urge Selling of Logs From Trees
Tobacco farmers can kill two birds with one stone by cutting tobacco wood this winter and selling the bottom log of the better trees to local lumbermen. Logs should be 4 to 6 inches longer than 16 feet, reasonably straight and free of defects. Selling logs provides profit to pay for tobacco wood and helps wartime lumber production by keeping sawmills running.
