County Leads State In Planting Trees N In 1J31 Kershaw county planted ^ 201,876 forest tree seedlings, or 10.4 ! per. cent of all seedlings planted in the state. I ^ Since January 1, 1032, as shown h by the records of the State Forest " Nursery, 563,511 forest tree seedlings 11 have been planted in the state; of J these 267,650 were planted in Ker- 8 shaw county, or 60.1 per. cent of all H seedlings planted. in the state. i c Plantings in the county for 1032 8 are as follows: I C. M. Leonard 100,000 longleaf l pines, 100,000 slash pines, 600 locust; e H. G. Lloyd 27,000 longleaf pines, 1 12,000 slash pines, 250 locust; Walton j Ferguson 10,000 longleaf pines, 10,000 i slash pines; Mrs. A. S. Davidson 1,800 longleaf pines, 200 slash pines; Mrs. 1 E. DuBose 5,000 longleaf pines; Hen- ( ry Savage, Sr., 300 longleaf pines; W, P. Rogers 400 longleaf pines; ' totals 144,500 longleaf pines, 122,200 slash pines, 850 locusts. It has been estimated by the State Forest Service that Kershaw county has some 22,000 acres needing planting. The planting season has not closod and any farmer or landowner desiring seedlings may secure same from the State Forest Nursery located near Camden at a cost of $3.00 per thousand, It is- urged that the farmers and landowners of the county plant their idle acres to forest ^ees, thereby making these lands an asset instead of a liability. The advice and assistance of the county forester is available without cost to those who desire to do this work. | Trustees and superintendents of 12 of the financially weaker school districts of Spartanburg county, Tuesday night called upon their county , delegation to take some action on their request for a direct appropria. tion of $32,000 in ordeT that they may , know definitely whether or not they will be able to complete a ninemonths session or will have to close after a seven months term. i n " " 7 Forest fire, driven by winds of gale i proportions, were reported as sweep? ing over thousands of acres of North i Carolina timber lands in eastern sec1 tions of the state. Fighters along a a 20-mile front between Carthage and / Fort Bragg were merely able to turn the flames from buildings at times. Tribute of Reaped !
