Grow Money
On Trees To
Cover Idle Acres
COLUMBIA, Jan. 16.—Over one
million forest tree seedlings in
eluding longleaf, slash, and loblolly
pines and black locust are available
at cost from the State Forest Tree
Nursery for reforestating idle lands,
says H. 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.

GARDENS
CLEMSON COLLEGE, Jan. 16,
The state garden contest will con- |
tinue in 1932, according to an
nouncement from A. 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.
