Overview

Excerpt from Farm Woodland Management in the Western Gulf Region In the western Gulf region (arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and eastern Texas), in 1938, woods work brought as much as 48 cents per hour, compared With 15 cents for cotton work. At these rates 27 hours' Work on acres of managed timber produced about the same income as 85 hours' work on 1 acre of Upland cot ton. To put it another way, a farmer got $100 cash income from a year's growth on 20 acres of timber and got about the same amount from only 8 acres of upland cotton, but to do so he had to work 666 hours in the cotton and only 209 hours in the timber.
