PACE EIGHT THfi FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACONIAN THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1939 CITIZENS VISIT COWEEMCAMP Inspect Work Being Done In Experimental Forest Approximately 30 citizens from Franklin visited the Coweeta Ex perimental forest on Wednesday afternoon to view the work being done by the CCC boys from Otto Camp F-23. The Coweeta Experimental forest, 15 miles .south of Franklin, is one of the two such forests in the en tire country where water influence studies are being carried on. This area was selected because of the heavy rainfall, ranging from 70 to 100 indies per year, and because of the ideal condition of the streams. Dams have been constructed by the CCC boys and roads have also been built Valuable data will be obtained from this area for the de termination of flood conditions .and the effect on streams caused by the removal of timber, cultivation and fires. While this trip was made primar ily to view the work of the CCC boys have been doing, this month is also the sixth anniversary since the inception of the CCC.
