Seventy Million Trees
* 4
For Southern
Landowners
Atlanta, Ga., July 30.—Farmerr
\nd landowners in the South wil 1
hortly have available approxi
mately 7(V million seedlings for
planting on eroded or non-pro-
iuctive farm land, according to
regional Forester Joseph C.
Grcher of the U. S. Forest Service.
These seedlings range from slash
Tine to black locust and are being
iroduced by the various State
Torest Services in state-owned
nurseries and will be distributed
to the public at cost of production.
Increased public interest in re-
Torestatlon accounts for the large
step up in nursery stock produced,
and although this year’s growth
of seedlings is greatly increased
over that of past years, it is felt
that the demand will be far great
er than the supply. With this in
view, Forest Service officials urge
interested landowners to place re
quirements with their State
foresters as early as possible in
order that pro-rated amounts may
be decided well in advance of
planting time.
In order to assist landowners
with technical phases of their
planting program a pamphlet,
“Planting Southern Pines”, recom
mending and explaining the most
successful methods of planting,
has been prepared by the Forest
Service and may be secured free
by addressing a card to the State
Forester or to the Regional For
ester, U. S. Forest Service, At
lanta, Georgia, requesting the De
partment of Agriculture Leaflet
No. 159.

Hours Of Labor
Shown To Be Less In
South Than In North
Clinton, July 25.—Critics who
have pointed to the South as
an area in which long hours of
labor are prevalent have been
contradicted in a large measure
by figures contained in a recently
released publication of the Na
tional Industrial Conferenc j
Board in which hours in the cot
ton manufacturing industry, one
of the nation’s largest industries. .
are shown to be less in the South
than in the North.
The book, written by M. Ada
Beney of the Conference Board
research staff and titled “Dif
ferentials in Industrial Wages and
Hours in the United States’!,
covers eight principal industries,
mainjy for the month of Septem
ber, 1937, which was before the
textile curtailment of recent
months.
During the period covered the
average hours worked per week
in Eastern cotton mills was 38.$
for males and 35.6 for females.
During the same period average
hours worked per week in South
ern mills was only 36.6 for males
and 34.5 for females.
Highest number of hours worked
by male cotton goods laborers was
in the Middle Atlantic States
(New Jersey, New York, Pennsyl
vania), and highest number wont
ed by females was in the New
England states. Lowest work week
for females in the industry was
found to be in South Carolina,
and lowest for males was in South
Carolina and Georgia.
Complete figures given by the
Conference Board book, showing
actual average hours worked per
week in the cotton manufacturing
industry, September, 1937, were as
follows:
Male
