Splendid Results
From Tree Planting
Long leaf pinen planted in 1902
in Lee county, South Carolina, near
Bishopville, point the Way to the profitable
use of submArgirxal farm lands,
according to District Forester D. Y.
Lenhart of the South Garolina Forest
Service with headquarters in Florence.
While increment borings indicate
the planting might have been made
in 1904 or 1900, the memory of the
planter, Mr. W. G. Woodham, Bishopviile,
R. F. D. 5, places the year
at 1902 and gives the plantation ?n
age of 28 years. According to Mr.
Woodham he sowed the seeds from
long leaf pine mast in a portion of
an old field that bad proved unprofitable
for agriculture. Placing four
or five seeds in a hill with a spacing
of 10 x 10'feetv splendid germination
was secured and at 10 years the owner
began gathering straw from the
area, just a little less than an acre.
Today according to the Forester
?. Jjjli
living and While increased growth
could have been secured through careful
thinning the trees average 50 feet
in height and approximately 8 1-2
inches in diameter. Trees vury in
diameter from 5 to 12 1-2 inches and
in height from 44 to 60 feet?108
trees or 33 per cent are over 9 inches
in diameter or the height recommended
for conservative turpentining.
Over half of the trees are over 8
inches in diameter, breast high. Sub
sequent efforts to move long leaf
seedlings from the forest for transplanting
were unsuccessful due to the
long tap root of this species and to
the unfavorable root system of forest
grown trees. ,
Mr. Woodham depresses himself
as being greatly pleased with his
plantation and said, "I am sorry I
did not do the same thing on all
the poor lands of my farm." Mr.
Woodham has been fairiy successful
in keeping fire from his natural
woods. 'l
One year old long leaf pine seedlings,
nm-sery grown stock with root
system suitable for transplanting,
may be secured from the South Carolina
Forest Service at cost by writing
to the State Forester, Columbia,
South Carolina. An inspection of the
area to be planted will be made at
no cost to the property owner.

A total of 110 stitches were taken

Keep Milk Clean
Just keeping things fairly clean
will not do when it comes to the
handling of milk, cream and butter
especially in hot weather. Everything
must be absolutely clean if
good prices are to be gotten for
dairy products.
Your county agent has taken from
the Southern Agriculturist these two
paragraphs concerning handling of
milk in the good old summer time:
High quality milk and milk products
can be produced in the South
in hot - weather. It is being done
every summer in every Southern
state. It is a simple matter but not
so dead easy, yet it pays big and
is the only thing to do. A soured,
off-taste dairy (product is not fit for
food and the market will not pay a
profit-producing price for it.
The milk as it flows from the cow
is as pure In summer a? in winter,
but the gertns it may pick up as
soon as it is drawn develop many
times as fast in summer as they do
in winter. The tow's udder must J
free from merd or other filth J
milker's hands must be clean, ^9
bucket must be so clean that a druM
of water tastes good out of it,
strainer and vessel that the miBt jfl
emptied into must be scrupuloslfl
clean. Powder and warm water mX
be used industriously in washing, ?J
then filing water or live steam nifl
be used to sterilise all milk veseeS
Then it is good to rinse them in 9
antiseptic solution made by addiigfl
the water a small amount of one I
the standard antiseptics used for tifl
purpose^ After that the vessels ?l
benefited by exposing them to ttfl
direct rays the sun iwhere \be fliX
cannot get to them. All of this jl
a lot of trouble, but all very nnr J
sary. If a separator is used, tX
same scrupulous care must be eafl
ployed in caring for it, I
