A. Smith, state foi%ster, •who states that the State Forestry Commission desires to get as large a number of small tree planters as possible to set trees on areas now unproductive. Areas on which foresters and “economists agree that it is wise to plant trees include (1) Abandoned, worn out farm lands, (2) eroded fields, (3) along fence rows, (4) steep or rocky hillsides no longer cultivated, (5) abandoned road beds, (6) poorly stocked woodlands, (7) memorial groves Mr. Smith points out. The trees A C nnr | Carrion cost $3.00 per thousand and one | ^ row A AxOOd V^araeil thousand will reforest one acre or more. The trees grow while the THE COMMON VEGETABLES ARE landowners sleep. Tree planting is therefore not an expenditure but an investment to the end that idle unproductive acres be once more restored to productivity.

E. Schilletter,! extension horticulturist, who has had charge of this effective Ex tension Service activity during the four years it has been running. With a contribution of $500 from The State and other contributions now being secured for prizes, it is hoped thus to stimulate still fur ther year-round gardening for wid er use of vegetables in the home for health and economy. Rules for this year’s contest pro vide for five classes: (1) home gardeners, selling not over $100 worth: (2) small market gardeners, selling not over $400 worth; (3) market gardeners, selling over $400 worth; (4) tenant farmers; (5) negro farmers. There will be first, second, and thLd prizes in each class and sm. Her prizes chiefly of seeds, sup plies, etc. The awards will be on the basis of such matters as con tinuous supply of fresh vegetables for nutrition requirements of the family; sufficient surplus to can for winter use; proper fertilization, control of insects and diseases, etc. Any size plot will be admitted to the contest, but first consideration goes to making the best use of the plot, says Mr. Schilletter. Announcement of the results of the 1931 garden contest will be made soon by the Extension Serv ice, Mr. Schilletter states. Longleaf Pine seedlings for re forestation purposes is proving one of the most popular of the South ern Pines, according to N. T. Barron, Assistant Statq Forester in charge of tree planting in South Carolina, who points to orders al ready received for over 40,000 trees as proof of that statement. The Longleaf Pine, according to Mr. Barron, is a dual and even triple purpose tree, being used at maturity for naval stores, poles, pa per pulp and lumber. Slow to get started, the tree makes rapid growth after the first few yfears., is an ornamental in almost any local ity and comes nearer being fire proof than any of the Southern Pines. The planting season, according to the Forester, lasts only through the month of January and a part of February, after which growth starts and transplanting is danger ous. Shipments are being made daily from the State Forest Com mission’s Forest Tree Nursery at Camden, South Carolina, from which trees are distributed at the cost of production, amounting to three dollars per thousand plus a small cost for packing and trans portation. Approximately 1,000 trees are re quired to the acre, according to Mr. Barron, who states that that num ber and more should be planted by a man and a boy in one day. Trees of this species when shipped have practically no stems, since the first three years of the longleaf pine’s life seems to be devoted to root development. The seedlings when shipped, however, are of a size best suited to reforestation work. Over 63 per cent of the Longleaf Pines planted in the State last year survived. Applications for trees should be made through the State Forest Service, Columbia, S. C., or through district foresters located in Spartanburg. Florence, Aiken and Walterboro. Slash Pine, Black Locust, and Loblolly Pino are also available.
