A.A.A. 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

"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.

trustees, Dr. U. G. Teele, chair,
man and with the cooperation of
the Deacons and the various auxiliaries
of the church a united effort
was made to cancel this inlebtedness.
Walking as one man
the congi egation not only kept up
its current bills and paid other out

the last mortgage held against the
church. While members of all the
churches in the community fejoiced
with them when the mortgage

Morris College will need for equipmcnts,

get in both drives. It will take
eternal vigilance on the part of

to meet-4he financial needs of Mor

I think, all things considered,
the school is doing fine. All con
