  • THE-AMERICAN-TREE-ASSOCIATION Charles Lathrop Pack President Arthur Newton Pack Secretary PERCIVAL S. RlDSDALE Treasurer CAROLINAS SHOWING WAY IN PLANTING Forestry's message is being heard in every county in the Carolinas. Through the distribution by the American Tree Association of the Forestry Primer, a groundwork has been laid as to the importance of putting idle land to work growing trees. Through J. S. Holmes, the state forester in North Carolina, and H. A. Smith, the state forester in South Carolina, the reforestation idea has been put before thousands of young Americans. This was followed by the George Washington bicentennial tree-planting program. The call to plant trees to mark the bicentennial, in 1932, of the birth of the first president is meeting with a remarkable response, not only in the Carolinas, but in every state in the country. "North Carolina is taking a big part in this program," says R. W. Graeber, extension forester, who adds that "the 4-H Club boys and girls are making preparation for planting. More than 700 boys and girls who attended the short course at State College gave their pledge to Gov. O. Max Gardner to plant a tree during the next planting season. Many of these are preparing to plant 25 or more black walnut trees, others will plant pines or black locusts as regular forest plantings, while many will plant shade trees around their homes or along the highway. The County Farm and Home Agents are being enlisted in this campaign. The American Tree Association has sent to all these agents booklets and other printed matter." On the shores of Lake Johnson, Raleigh's water supply, the Boy Scouts have begun a Washington memorial planting with 1,400 trees under the direction of F. H. Claridge, forester. In South Carolina, M. J. Smith, county home demonstration agent, reports that the 4-H Girls' Clubs are getting on the national honor roll of the American Tree Association. One of the first reports is that of the club at the West Springs High School at Union. A Washington knoll has been started near the school, with 150 trees. Women's Clubs and the Masonic fraternity have joined the campaign, too. At Greenville, S. C, nearly 20,000 trees are reported by C. W. Perry who is gathering the registrations for the national honor roll in that county. The agricultural class of the Welcome High School started off the program with 2,000 trees on Washington's Birthday. The Boy Scouts handled the crowd, so great was the interest in the program. J. T. Rogers of the agricultural class helped arrange the program along with W. B. Jones, the superintendent, and Miss Claudia Phelps of the Federation of Women's Clubs. In other states, plans are going forward for planting in the Fall and for community dedication exercises in 1932 and every year thereafter. The tree planting is to be continued, too, in thousands of places. North Dakota, for example, has mapped a five-year program through the state department of education.
