                            Cooperative Forestry
   The Conservation Department cooperates with private owners and
counties in improving and managing forest lands. Under the forest
crop law owners of land primarily more useful for forestry than for
other purposes may enter lands to be devoted to the growing of
commercial crops of timber. These forest crop lands thereafter are
subject to a tax of ten cents per acre annually and a ten per cent
severance tax on the stumpage value of any timber which is cut. In
other words, the land pays an annual tax and the timber or income
is taxed only once, when the income is realized. There are now
148,174 acres of such privately-owned forest crop lands.
   Counties may also enter land but are exempt from paying the
annual acreage share. In addition they receive ten cents per acre from
the state for forest planting and improvement and in return pay a
