Bring Your Tools For Work. Nineteen million forest trees have been planted —in North Carolina since the start of the Civilian Conservation Corps, James J. McEntee, corps national director, said this week in commenting on the state’s program. Of the 39 camps now operating in North Carolina, McEntee said, 13 are under direction of the U. S. Forest Service and eight under the National Park Service. He explained that, through the allocation in 1933 and 1934 of $30,000,000 of Emergency Con servation Work funds for the purchase of national forest lands throughout the South and East, North Carolina’s national forests increased from 420,700 acres un der government ownership in 1933, to more than 900,000. There has been an average of about 14 camps on national for est lands, and for several periods, one on State-owned forest land carrying on reforestation. The CCC reforestation program in North Carolina has resulted in speeding production in nurseries to supply the necessary seedlings for the planting program. The State forest tree nursery on the Clayton State Forest in Johnston County Taised its annual produc tion capacity from a half-million seedlings to ten million with the aid of CCC workers. Cities of Sweden are supplying land and loaning money for ma terials to those who wish to build homes. Legal Notice LAND SALE NORTH CAROLINA ALLEGHANY COUNTY IN THE SUPREME COURT BEFORE THE CLERK R.
