Forestry i I am handing you copy of a let ter trom Dr. R. W. Graeber, Ex tension Forester, State College Station, Raleigh, North Carolina, which contains important informa tion as to the planting of trees by farmers, and credits allowed by the Agricultural Adjustment pro gram on that account. It seems to me that this is a very unusual opportunity for the farmers and many of them are not taking advantage of it. I suggest that they take the matter up with Dr. Graeber with a view to taking advantage of the unusual proposi tion. We can cultivate forests Just as we can cultivate cotton and to bacco, and cultivated forests are much better than wild forests. A prudent man might lay off a suf ficient number of acres to be plan ted in certain trees with assurance that in due time the tree crop frould provide abundantly for the education of his children. The letter is as follows: "May 22nd, 1939 Hon. Josiah W Bailey, United States Senate, ^Washington, D. C. Dear Senator Bailey: I am sending you information in regard to the provisions made for furnishing trees to landowners in North Carolina. The North Carolina Department of Conservation and Development i in cooperation with the Federal Government is operating two for est tree nurseries for the purpose of growing tree seedlings to be j distributed to farmers and other j landowners throughout :te State ' for reforestation, the reclaiming of eroding land, and establishing windbreaks. (No trees gTOwn in j these nurseries can be sold for or- j namental purposes.) The usual price of these seedlings is $2.00 per thousand at the nursery, or $2.25 per thousand delivered by parcel post or express. Certain species of trees such as white pine, red and Norway spruce, etc.. which require two or more years in the nursery, are a little higher, j usually around $3 00 per thous and, at the nursery, or $3.25 de- ' livered. lr* The Forestry Extension Office j at State College cooperates with the State Division of Forestry in the distribution of these tree seed lings, taking applications from farmers through our County Agents, and then giving demon strations in the planting of these trees. The planting season begins Novmber 15 and runs through March 15 in most parts of this State, and up to April 1 in die mountain section. Usually 1,000 trees are planted per acre, this requiring a spacing ?f 6 x 7 feet. If you are interested in the planting of forest trees in the State of North Carolina, we wilj. be glad to cooperate with you and we will send- you a price list and other information in regard to making application for trees early this fall. The State of Virginia is doing the same thing in regard to the growing of trees and distributing them to the people of that State. In each case it is through and with the cooperation of the Federal Government. You also asked me to write you In regard to the coopreationof the Federal Government in regard to the AAA Soil Conservation Pro gram. In this connection I will say that both North Carolina and Vir ginia, which are included in the East Central Region of the appli cation of the agricultural adjust ment program, give farmers credit ' on what is known as their soil building goal for the following forestry practices: 1. For planting forest trees on crop land, they are allowed 5 credits per acre 2. For making timber stand improvement cuttings in now ex isting woodland, 2 credits per acre 1? allowed. In the administration of the ag ricultural adjustment program, certain payments are set up to be earned by the farmer who'cooper ates in this program. However, before he can secure these pay ments, it is necessary for him to carry out a certain number of units of soil building practices.
