N Mecca, California CAROLINA FEATHERS (Continued from page 343) repertoire which, to the author's mind, is so infinitely appealing, so mysteriously ethereal in its quality as the silver tones of this mountain chorister. To sit upon an upthrusting pinnacle of rock in late afternoon, overlooking a tranquil valley, and hear this exquisite benediction to the day floating upward from the balsam slopes, is an experience which enthralls one utterly. It is as if some elfin minstrel far below is whistling a liquid poem through long convolutions of silver pipes; the effect being superbly delicate and thrillingly beautiful, the ultimate in Nature's music. On the higher peaks one comes into the realm of such altitude-loving birds as the red-breasted nuthatch, the golden-crowned kinglet and the winter wren. Amid the balsam forests, so thick at times that the sun rays never touch the ground, these tiny sprites sing their songs and build their homes. Only the soaring eagle and circling falcon above the crags go higher; to know these infinitesimal mountaineers one must go to the peaks of Mitchell, Grandfather and the Black Brothers. And so, from "ocean's wave-beat shore" to the time-scarred summits of the Blue Ridge, Carolina is rich in avian folk. Her present day attractions are no less interesting than her long and honored history in American ornithology, and to those who would explore her beauties and tread her sands and peaks in search of feathered friends, she has ever a ready welcome. HERITAGE OF TREES (Continued from page 327) to the State by the Federal government and is being used for experiments in tree planting and the control of drifting sand. State forest nurseries in both states are now distributing tree seedlings at cost to private landowners for reforestation purposes and are giving them away to schools and other organizations in broad plans of forest education. Yet no adequate plans have been adopted to put back to work the cut-over and devastated lands, of which there are said to be from five to seven million acres in the two Carolinas. South Carolina still has twenty billion board feet of standing timber. North Carolina probably has about the same. The lower parts of these two states form the central part of the North Carolina pine region which is obliged to place this second growth pine lumber in the eastern seaboard markets in close competition with the virgin timber of the Pacific coast. More than fifty per cent of all the lumber cut is second growth pine, chiefly loblolly in the Coastal plain and short-leaf and Virginia pine in the Piedmont. With fire prevention, reforestation and reasonable cutting methods, this region should be able largely to control the eastern markets after the accessible virgin timber of the West has been cut over and sold, and bring back to these beautiful Carolinas a semblance of the thick-growing forest cover of by-gone days. 344 Mention Nature Magazine when answering advertisements
