Over 5000 Bushels Are Purchased The sale of loblolly pine cones has brought added In come to farmers of Warren County and ad joining counties, L. C. Cooper, Agricultural Extension Agent, said yester day. Cooper quoted Amos L. Capps as saying that he has ? purchased over 5,000 bushels loblolly pine cones at $2.25 per bushel. Capps, chairman of the Warren County Board of Com missioners, is a pulpwood and timber dealer, representing Continental Can Company, Inc., of Hopewell, Va., and the Union Bag Camp Paper Com pany of Franklin, Va., re ceivers of the pine cones. Capps said farmers from Edgecombe, Nash, Johnston, Wake, Franklin, Granville, Halifax and Northampton Counties brought cones by the pickup truck loads to the Ar eola Station. The market for pine cones opened Sept. 20 and closed Oct. 25. Farmers averaged harvesting two bushels per tree, Cooper said. Capps said the pine cones are stripped of their seeds and the seeds are sown in the state nursery and the com pany's private nursery. Last year the companies returned to this area over 100,000 loblolly pine seed lings. The seedings are dis tributed to 4-H'ers and FFA projects. However, most of the trees are given to tree farm ers, some free and others on a matching basis. The seed lings are used in reforesta tion plantings, soil and water conservation projects which adds commercial and educa tional values to the farm and other participants, Cooper said. Capps asks that interested tree producers contact his office on how seedlings may be obtained.
