Fifty-Five Thouoand Acres
Barren Lands Reforested
Fifty-five thdusand acres of bar
ren And idle lands in. eight South
eastern states recently have been
put to work in growing trees under
the federal reforestation program.
This, volume of acreage in tree
plantings, in an area that once was
known as the land of cotton indi
cates that this region is fast be
coming a lively tree growing center.
With an increasing demand for for
est products, the yield from the
trees grown on these 55,000 acre's"
of land in Alabama, Arkansas,
Loyisiana, Mississippi, North Caro
lina, South Carolina, Oklahoma and
Texasj- represents a potential source
of wealth when turned into lumber,
pulpwood or naval stores. In addi
tion to whatever ultimate revenue
this crop" of trees may produce,
they also .have a further definite
value: in protecting soil and water
sheds. The planting of this acreage re
quired approximately 57,000,000
seedlings and about three months
of work on tlgfc part of CCC en
rollees working under the supervis
ion of the U. S. forest service. The
figures represent only the plantings
on national forest lands in the
Southern region of the U. S. forest
service during the planting season
which extended from December,
1936 to March, 1937.
Barren cut-over and abandoned
farm lands acquired by the govern
ment for national forest use consti
tute the chief basis of operations
under this reforestation program,
according, to regional forester Jos
eph C. Kircher, of the U. S. forest
service, Atlanta, Ga. After the ac
quisition of these lands, the first
concern of the forest service was
to restore their productivity and
to get trees growing again as
quickly as possible on the barren
areas. The forest service 'hopes to
continue its reforestation program
until all national forest lands which
are now devoid of desirable tree
growth are , stocked with trees
which will protect the lands from
erosion, protect watersheds, pro
duce timber and other forest pro
ducts. . ; "
Mf. Kircher stated that Louisiana
received the greatest benefit from
the plantings just completed. A
total of 22.200 acres of denuded
lands in that state required the
planting of about 24,000,000 seed
lings. Mississippi's acreage was 18,-
000 which called for the planting of
around 21,000,000 seedlings and
some 12,000 acres in Texas required
over 10,000,000 seedlings for plant
ing. More than 800 acres each were
planted in North Carolina and Ala
bama. Approximately 600 acres
were planted in Arkansas. South
Carolina and Oklahoma had com
paratively small plantings, and a
imited planting for watershed pro
tection was done on national for
est lands in Georgia.
All of the tree planting work was
carried on with CCC enrollees who
had been trained by forest service
officers. In the great -national pro
gram to put idle lands and idle
hands to work, it is estimated that
since the organization of the corps,
the CCC has planted in excess of
a billion trees. Those boys in the
Southern region earned their title
of "tree troopers" during the work
of the past winter. Armed with
planting bars and enthusiasm, they
worked through the cold, rain and
mud of December, January and
February without complaint. They
took the sunshine, or digging the
trucks out of mud as part of the
day's work, and with the precision
of trained soldiers carried through
a job that topped the previous all-
time high mark for planting in the
region. Their total score of 57,000,-
000 trees, spaced for highway plant
ing; would make a row of trees
reaching two and a half times
around the world.
The majority of the trees planted
were longleaf, shortleaf, and slash
pine grown at three federal nurs
eries, the Stuart Nursery in Louis
iana, the Ashe Nursery in . Miss
issippi and Ozark Nursery in Ark
ansas. Tree nursery production is
being geared to meet the demand
of the reforestation program. The
Stuart Nursery alone produced 29,-
000,000 seedlings in 1936. The first
crop of seedlings from the Ashe
Nursery was shipped this season.
This , new nursery has an annual
capacity of 25,000000 seedlings. The
sowing at these three nurseries
this spring called for 16 tons or
32,000 pounds of seed for an esti
mated total of 56,000,000 seedlings.
