Time Now to Plant Tree Seedlings 9 , ' - . ' Farm land in Kershaw County that is unfit for cultivation but too bare of seed trees to reforest naturally makes tho farmer little return. So long as it remains idle such land is a liability, slowly eating itself up in taxes. Planted with little trees it becomes an asset, steadily increasing in value, and eventually yielding ^ handsome return. All of our southern pines grow rapidly. At an early age they yield pulp wood, saw logs and other valuable products. Furthermore, these young "second growth" woodlands yield timber for which there is a constantly increasing demand. A stand of >*eung pines is an excellent investment fbi*" the farmer a? it is for the lumber company that plans continous operation of its mill or even the sale of its. cuft-over lands. It is not difficult to convert this waste land into forest land even though it gives no promise of reforesting itself from near-by seed trees. Reforestation by planting is comparatively easy and frequently total costs are held down to $4 or $5 an aero. Pine Seedlings are now available for distribution _to the farmers and timberland owners at the State Forest Tree Nursery, Camden, S. C. All orders for seedlings should addressed to the district forester, Florence, S. C. A number of valuable bulletins on how to plant tree seedlings can be secured free of charge by writing the County Forester, Charles W. Nuite, Camden, S. C. The News at Spring Hill Mr. and Mrs. J. L.
