J. E. King, superintendent of the Laurens CCC camp, announce<i yes terday that tree planting which will take up a good i)art of the company enrollees’ time during the winter months was atrated in the county this week with two crews assigned to this task. ' J The local camp has been alloted one ' million trees <M, its quota to be set o in Laurens county during the ne few months and it is expected ^ this work will require until th of March to complete. It is planned by the Soil yonserva- / tion Service to plant approximately fifteen million trees in the state of South Carolina, Laurens county get ting a million of the^ Fifteen mil lion trees will cow approximately ten, thousand acr^ and the planting will be/done almost entirely 4>y CCC enroll Trees planted in Laurens county should coyer approximately seven hundred y^res. These trees are to be plants on farms included in the soil conservation program. Lob-lolly pines will be planted in fields retired fydm cultivation. Black locust will be sed for planting in gullies. All pine trees being used in the state for planting purposes are be ing grown by the South Carolina State Forest Commission. Trees re ceived at Camp Laurens for planting are being brought from the nursery at Georgetown. It is pointed out that the growing of slash pine in this section is likely to become an important industry during the next few years. Pulp mills are already located at George town and Savannah, Ga;. These mills use se'^hal hundred' cords of pine daily in the production of paper. *njese mills are using-Southem pine exclusively. ^ - A good example of the growth of pine trees may be had by observation of the pines filwited pn ham place bn the Greenwood highway just below Waterloo. These tioes jwere plated in 1931. Trees fumishe^ by the Soil Con- aervatioR Seiwko^ Ikureik obiin^ farmers are purely for erosion con trol. Many farmers of the—county have sections of land that is worthless for farming purposes which could be tuimed into a paying investment if it were'planted in trees. This land is likely to be badly eroded and totally unfit for farming. By planting trees, the farmer will be taking steps to atop further erosion, and at the same time assuring an income from this property in later years.
