Trees To Be Planted

II was learned here last night that
the Pocahontas Coal and Coke Com
pany has purchased tract of ., 600
acres in Mcdowell county for the
purpose of reforestation. This land
will he planted with trees OF various
kinds and the result watched with
interest, a. on this experiment de-
pends In large measure any future
work along this line. The scarcity
of mine timbers is beginning 10 be
noticed in this section and large
timber companies are constantly cut
ting off trees none OF which are re-
placed. The action of the Pocahontas
Coal and Coke company is one
which cannot be too highly com
mended, as it may mean that this
section will in the years to come
again be visited by the axes Of the
woodsman and will not have to de-
pend altogether in the future on
other parts of the country for its
/ timber.
1t is expected That the next con-
gress will take some action with re-
gard to the preservation of the Ap-
paIacbian timber belt; in fact, the
president lis very much interested
in this work, as it is one of his con-
servation policies. If the government
takes the work up the local compa.
ny should be able to secure valuable
assistance from the government ex.
periments along the same lines. -
