This County First in Re-Forestrationl Kerahnw county has tin- distinction of being the first county in the state to have reforestation projects with schools under supervision of the state and county agent. The first school in the county to establish u reforestation project was St. Matthews Training School for colored children. I'rof. It. J. Reddish, the efficient agricultural teacher there, in cooperation with County Agent Green, secured 2500 pine trees from the State Forestry Department through Mr. L. K. Staley and Mr. W. J. Trotter, assistant state forester J at Camden. The negroes of tho St. Matthews section have taken great interest in the matter of reforestation and keeping down forest fires. In fact it 's reported that there has not been ft single forest fire in that community since this work was started some months ago. 'I hey are coining to , realize that fires kill small trees and i damage by "hardening off" older ' trees, thereby reducing the number , and quality of trees which would later furnish employment for many ne g; oe* in the process of getting the tree.-, made into lumber. I'rof. Kedd.-h brought a. numbe r of hi* student - int<? Camden ><oiu time, ago to hear Mr. II N. Wheeler. L. S. Forestry Lecturer. It is very gratifying t-> note t ie way that all of the people of the ('nil' ty are taking interest in th - refo-cstat "P. and fir e-provp-ntion work.'
