Land Conservation, Management and Utilization

Description: Photograph of a squatters' shack on 40 acres of land belonging to a firm of investment brokers. Tenants say they have cut 1000 pine poles from adjoining fields in the last two or three months. Two men cut about 20 cross-ties a day. High quality timber is thus being wastefully cut. With proper care this timber would provide high-grade, salable building material. This tract will revert to McCurtain County and will go on resale in May, 1941. OK-8140.
