He is not the only one that was de

now hoped that warm weather will
follow the general rains thus caus

consequent lowering of the fire
hazard.

enviable record for lost time ac

and it is our aim to see that we
keep our record of no lost time
accidents since last November.

Ten Million Plants
For Erosion Control
In South Carolina
Approximately 10 million trees
and shrubs produced in the Soil
Conservation Service nursery at
Rock Hill during 1937 will be set
out this winter on farms of coop
erators in the erosion-control pro
gram in South Carolina and other
Southeastern states.
The plants range from bush les-
pedeza to yellow poplar, black:
locust, and loblolly pine./ Each
species produced in the nursery
will be used in some phase of thfr
erosion-control program, according
to J. F. Cole, forester on the Rock
Hill project.
These small seedlings in years to
come will control erosion on steep
farm land, provide a profitable
use for such areas and eventually
will produce valuable woodland
products, Cole pointed out. Along
with the reforestation program, the
Service, cooperating with Clemson
College Extension Service, is dem
onstrating proper woodland man
agement and the value of protect
ing woods from fire and uncon
trolled grazing.
