Approximately 3 1-2 million trees were produced in the South Carolina State Nursery at George town and the remainder were grow* in nurseries of the Soil Conserva tion Service as a part of the CCC camp program. Cooperating farmers in demon stration projects and camp areas will plant the trees on severely eroded portions of their farms to show how trees will check erosion and put such land to its best use. They will plant the shrubs in gul lies and on galled areas, and along: field and woodland borders to put useless land to work producing food and cover for wildlife. Farmers will use the kudzu plant* to form permanent strips on criti cal areas in cultivated fields, in gullies, on galled spots, on road which do not have offices have the, hanks and other locations where privilege of registering at the office perennial vegetation is needed t<? nearest their home.
