Planting Trees
A half million forest tree seed
lings were distributed today to
more than 390 farmers and other
landowners in the fifteen Tenn
essee Valley counties of Western
North Carolina. State District
Forester A. D. Williams, vyho is
in charge of the distribution,
stated that "the trees were pro
duced by the Tennessee Valley
Authority. Under a cooperative
agreement, the North Carolina
Division of Forestry and Park*
is distributing them through the
agricultural extension service,
free of charge, to farmers for
erosion control and reforestation
purposes. Some of the trees are
being distributed to lumber com
panies and municipalities for
forest planting and watershed
protection."
The first truck load of seed
lings arrived at the State Fores
try warehouse this morning
from TVA's forest nursery at
Clinton, Tennessee. Within two
hours, the 160,000 white pine,
48,000 shortleaf pine, 28,000 yel
low poplar, and 6,000 black
locust seedlings had been trans
ferred to other trucks, and were
on their way to the landowners
in Haywood, Buncombe, Hender
son, Madison, Mitchell, Yancey,
Avery and Watauga counties.
About 30,000 of the trees will be
planted in Watauga county.
A second truck load of trees
was being delivered at Sylva,
from where distribution will be
made to landowners in Transyl
vania, Jackson, Macon, Graham,
Swain, Clay and Cherokee coun
ties.
Farm Management Supervisor
W. B. Collins, who was also on
hand to help with the tree distri
bution, stated that "there are
about 25,000 acres of idle and
eroded land on farms in western
North Carolina that should be
planted to trees, and I don't
doubt that there's three time that
much cutover woodland area that
needs to be under-planted in
order to make it produce what U
should produce. We've got a big
job ahead of us. We're making a
small start now, but next year
we hope we can get 2 million
trees for the farmers to plant."

Aid Is Offered To
Growers of Dahlias
The gardener who chooses a
suitable variety of dahlias and
gives them a little extra care
during the growing season can
have success with them in any
part of the state, says Robert
Schmidt, associate professor of
Horticulture at State College.
Mr. Schmidt is author of the
bulletin, "Dahlias for the Gar
den," which has recently been
revised and is now ready for dis
tribution by the State College
extension service.
* A moderately cool season
with sufficient rainfall is most
desirable for dahlia culture, the
bulletin states. The mountain
section of North Carolina is well
syited for the purpose, but dahlia
growing in the piedmont and
coastal sections is more difficult
because these areas often have
hot, dry summers.
Answers to (many questions of
the dahlia fancier may be found
in the new 12-page publication,
which may be obtained free by
addressing a request for circular
No. 230, "Dahlias for the Gar
den," to Agricultural Editor;
State College Station, Raleigh.
