Announces Tree Planting Benefits J The A.A.A. has announced that; during 1940 the soil building allowance which mry be earned on a farm may be increased by $30.00 for planting forest trees. Mr. H. .S. Hamilton, administrative officer of the A.A.A. advised ?arte t/f forest trees planted under State Forester Smith that one the A. A. A. program would en title the farmer to five units, which in tcims of dollars amounts to >7.50 towards earning the soil ' building rllowance for the farm. As an example Mr. Hamilton said:_ land and ~a~3tT* acre cbHon allotment would have a soil building ?allowance?computed?on?the?basis of 70 cents times 70" acres, which Is $49.00. To this $49.00 allow Alice would be added '$30.00, pro: vided the faim planted four acres ? v of forest trees. If twu acres %f forest trees were planted, the | $49.00" allowance would be increas!L_ ed-4>y- $lfM)0.-Lf?five acres, or " more of forest trees weie planted, th allowance would still only be increased by the 30.00 but, hi course, the acreage planted to tor est trees above the Jour acres * * could be used in determining the total cllowance set up for the farm at .the prescribed credit of $7.60 per acre. , " "It would seem that this new forestry provision should greatly encourage the planting of forest trees by the average small farmer and the. average farmer who wishes t0 grow at least a- small 1 wood lot. ?I ^ 1 "Please noteJrthat trees plantedin the calendar year 1939 .will not - qualify for- the above provisions, as only trees planted during the calendar year 1940 will qualify", i ~ rHe "5fa'te"'Forest Service" nut series. at Gcorgtown, Sumter and Camden are getting ready to start shipments of trees when the plant ing season commences December 1, but meanwhile, applications for seedlings aie Icing taken by Assistant State Forester N. D. Can. terbury at Columbia, and by the District Foresters at Aiken, Spar " anburg, Camden, Florence and Walteiboro. Mr. Canterbury said "the price of seedlings remains at $1.50 per thousand 1. o. b. nurser-.. iefTarTd the parcel post or express charges do not exceed 50 cenLs per thousand. Theiefore, a farmer or any pioperty owner can secure his , crees for two dollars per thousand delivered to his mail address or nearest express office. The plowing of tree planting furrows, where needed, and the actual plant ing of the trees generally costs - - fiom two, to three dollars perthdusand. .However, ordinarily this is not a cash outlay for the farmer as he can use a mule and farm help which usually are idle during the winter months. - 'A thousand tiees will plant an acre1 if the spacing is six feet by eight ?- feet anu tr..v? spacing is generally recommended where saw timber' is the desired forest crop, With fuel.~ wood, pulpwood, farm timbers, -poles and piling, as-secondaiy pro. ducts"., Details regarding the A.
