SCD District Farmers Want 192,
j
Dfiflion Trees In North Carolina;
Farmers cooperating with
North Carolina’s 43 soil conserva- j
tion districts and others receiv
ing assistance from U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture’s Soil Con
servation Service have planted
192,284 acres, or about 192 mil
lion forest trees, SCS Conserva-;
tionist Richard M. Daily says.
These trees, if properly spaced,
would completely cover Durham
County or be enough to plant 10
rows encircling the earth at the
Equator.
In addition to tree planting,
North Carolina farmers and oth
ers receiving assistance from Soil
Conservation Service, have plant
ed 132 miles of field windbreaks
and 836,885 rods of hedgerow
plantings of trees and shrubs for
wildlife cover and living fence. I
They have carried out woodland
improvement and site treatment
on 776,847 acres and woodland
protection on 962.107 acres. ■
Woodland improvement and site j
treatment practices include thin-'
ning, proper harvest cutting, na-
tural reseeding, pruning and
woodland weeding ,or elimination
of cull trees. Woodland protec
tion includes fencing to exclude
livestock grazing control and
firebreak construction.
Landowners are showing an
increasing awareness of the eco
nomic benefits to be realized
from woodland conservation. Dur
ing 1960, alone, farm woodland
owners receiving assistance irom
the Soil Conservation Serv'ce
through the soil conservation dis- 1
tricts planted 24,670 acres, or
about 25 million trees; 17 miles,
of field windbreaks and 114,605!
rods of hedgerows. They estab
lished 242,071 acres of woodland
improvement practices. 2,969
acres of site preparation and
placed 27,789 acres of woodland
under protection.
SENATOR

« SAYS *
Washington The guidelines
of America’s foreign policy a e
beginning to form under the di
rection of the Kennedy Admini
stration. I thought the Fie i
dent’s Inaugural Address con
tained much wisdom and was
an exceedingly forthright .state
ment of American aims and ob
jectives in the cold war. The
President in effect told the Sov
iet leaders that the United
States will not tolerate any in
terference in the affairs of the
Western Hemisphere. The im
plementation of this policy in
the days ahead poses serious
problems which I shall not now
discuss. I will say that I am
reminded of what Rudyard Kip
. ling, the great English poet,
once said. He said that the road
to sesurity and survival requires
that a nation keep its strength
and be prepared for whatever'
comes to pass.

The North Carolina Division
of Forestry and the North Caro
i lina Extension Service cooperated
with soil conservation districts
in providing services to farm
woodland owners. Most of the
trees for planting came from
i state nurseries. The state also
| provided specialized forestry as
sistance in fire prevention, dis
[ 'ease and insect control, market
j ing and management through the
State Division of Forestry and
[the Extension Service.
I Soil conservation district co
operators received other assist
'ance in woodland improvement
} practices and reforestation from
forest products industries oper
ating in the state. Tree seed
lings, marking services and
| woodland management advice
have been furnished free to farm
woodland owners by pulp and
paper, lumber and veneer and
, furniture companies.
I “Such local, state, federal and
I industrial cooperation, through
the years, has resulted in great
1 advances in woodland conserva
tion on privately owned lands,”
Dailey said.
Nationally, farmers and ranch
ers cooperating with 2,863 soil
| conservation districts and others
■ receiving assistance from Soil
I Conservation Servise have plant
ed 7,750,000 acres of trees, 38,-
940 miles of field windbreaks
and 8,276,000 rods of hedgerow
plantings. They have establish
ed 17,446,000 acres of woodland
I improvement and 60.350,000 acres
of woodland protection.
[ The Southeastern States —Ala-
ibama, Arkansas. Florida, Louisi
-1 ana, Georgie, Mississippi, North
I Carolina, South Carolina and
Tennessee —led all regions in tree
planting with 785,764 acres in
1960 and a cumulative total of
| 5,503,000 acres.
Carolina has a long heritage of
being dependent on its farm
lands. This dates back to co
lonial days and continues to
place us at the top of the farm
states. Tar Heel farmers should
welcome the news and benefit
