—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 13, 1977 114 [Contini mission and 4000 acres which is owned by the Corp ot Engineers but controlled by the Pennsylvania Game Commission also. Of this land, 3500 acres are in cropland, cultivated by nine sharecroppers; 86 acres are a propagation area; and the rest of the land is in woodlots, wildlife areas and water. All of the crop land has been contoured by the Game Commission in conjunction with the Soil Conservation Service, which along with the Agricultural Stabilization Conservation Service was the primary sponsor of the tour. The sharecroppers have to abide by the conservation practices set up by the controlling agencies and pay rent of 15 per cent of their harvested crop. Border cuttings, or road borders of 20 to 25 feet have to be maintained around all fields. These border cuttings, explained Ketner, are established for wildlife. They also pay off for equipment, he said. Another reason for border cuttings was to minimize run off and erosion. With this practice soil will not run off on the roads, or be washed away. Also established on the game commission land were some diversion terraces and sod waterways. These were put on steep hills to minimize the run-off and divert the water so it won’t wash in heavy storms. - State Forester Bob Schweitzer discussed woodlot management programs, called Timbe-rstand Im provement (TSI). The primary objective in TSI is to get healthier trees, which results in better quality and larger amounts of lumber, besides a more pleasant area for recreation. When the forestry service decides which trees to cut down they are trying to give the remaining trees more light from the top and one side, Schweitzer explained. This enables the trees to develop a good sized crown and straight trunks. TSI provides a more pleasant en vironment and results in healthier trees which will stand for more recreation pressure and resistance to insects and disease. Henry Bohn, county executive director of ASCS, ex plained a cost sharing program available for TSI. Up to 75 per cent of the cost of cutting the trees down may be available for woodlots with trees with valuable potential. Log cutting size trees are not eligible however, Schweitzer explained. “We don’t want wood wasted, he told the group,” the program is only for woods without any commercial value at present but with future potential.
