Scholarships awarded to Arts 7 WINSTON-SALEM - North Carolina residents currently enrolled in grades 7 through 12 are eligible to enter the fifth annual Sanford Scholar ships competition, to be held January 26 at the North Carolina School of the Arts. Winners receive full scholarships, ap plicable to 1979-80 tuition and fees at NCSA. Four scholarships, one each in dance, design and production or visual arts, drama, and music, will be awarded. Except for the drama scholarship, which Reseeding is necessary Perquimans County Forest Ranger, John Hur dle, advises people owning cut-over woodland that they are missing a good op portunity. According to Hurdle, cut-over woodland that is left to reseed back to pine trees by itself seldom does so, leaving the owner with a piece of land growing nothing but briars and low quality hardwood trees when it is capable of growing a valuable crop of pine trees. "Trees should be con sidered as much a crop as corn or soybeans and the woodland should be con sidered an important part of the farm," reports Hur dle. As a result of today's high prices being paid for trees by timber buyers, it is essential that all woodland contain a well stocked stand of desirable trees. When the trees are harvested from an area it should be reseeded as soon as possible. Speedy reforestation of cut-over woodland usually reduces the costs of getting the areas prepared and ready to be planted with pine seedlings. The cost of preparing woodland for ihe planting of pine trees varies from $8 to $100 per acre according to Ranger Hurdle. These costs depend on how long the area has been logged, the number and size of the trees left standing, the type of soil present, and the size of the area. Mr. Hurdle advises that the North Carolina Forest Ser vice personnel will be glad to examine your woodland free of charge and give in formation as to the method of reforestation needed as well as the approximate costs involved. The Agricultural Stabilization and Conser vation Services as well as the State of North Carolina both have cost share pro grams through which landowners can get reim bursed up to 60 percent of their site preparation and tree planting cost. Lan downers must sign up at the ASCS office or the County Forest Ranger Of fice before starting the work in order to qualify for cost-share funds. Contact Ranger Hur dle for more information at 426-5551 during office hours and nights at 264-3035. * * ?
