Dual Purpose Trees
Distributed By State
Approximately one hundred thousand
longleaf pine seedlings one year
old are available in the State Forest
Tree Nursery for distribution to
property owners at cost, according
to a report just issued by the State
Forestry Commission at Columbia,
S. C.
This tree, according to the Commission,
is one of the outstanding
forest trees of the Coastal Plain region.
Slow in starting growth in
the first two years, it makes up for
lost time when it starts to shoot.
Being fire resistant, it is especially
valuable for use in forest areas subject
to the annual practice of woods
burning, although .planting of any
sort is not recommended by the Commission
unless fire control is considered
practical. Ixmgleaf pine is
the King of Southern Pines, producing
one of the highest grades of
lumber and producing the naval
stores, rosin and turpentine, f<i?
which this state was once fuitim<
Those seedlings are available at
cost to landowners interested in reforestation
and may be secured on
application through the District Fo-e<ters.

!
F. F. William*, lyanager of the
J. C, Penney company store in thin

Fa.
Owing to the new conditions in the
department store field' which havei
been brought atoout by draatic reductions
in commodity price?, the
convention, which is usually held in
April, has been moved uhead to give
all J. C. Penney company store managers
an opportunity to get full advantages
of the now merchandising
and price policies of the compuny^ ,_j
Price reductions running as high
as forty per cent in many staple
line sof merchandise handled by the
organization, have already been announced
ami further announcements
regarding new price and quality
standards may be expected according
to Mr. Williams.
Eight general cnovention points
have been selected for the spring
meetings, covering all parts of the
country, the Eastern tour being under
the direction of Mr. A. W.
Hughes, assistant to Earl C. Sams,
president of the Penney organization,
ami the Western tour under the direction
of George Mitchell of the personnel
division of the New York office.
a nd 1 i - Pea I ,tiontetaos h rd 1 ucm f w y pN N
J. C. Penney, founder of the J. C.
Penney company, will make the trip
>n the Western schedule, and Lew
V. Day, vice-president and director of
personnel will make the Eastern trip.
A notable feature of the conventions

usual buying sessions and the substitution
of additional programs devoted
to selling methods and service
standards.
Nearly fifteen hundred managers
will attend the convention session
which \yill cover more than 60 per
cent of the retail trade area of the
