NATION Is HERE To
AID REPRESENTATION
Expert From Federal Depart
ment Will Show Pictures of
Work Being Done Here

w. r. Mattoon, an expert from
the federal forestry department. is
spending today, tomorrow and Sas-
urday in Sumter county in the ir-
terest of REPRESENTATION projects.
Today he will visit number of
farmers in company with George
%. Marshall, county agent, and FRI
day morning he will conduct dem
instration at the Third District Az
ricultural and Mechanical college.
This demonstration will be followed
by showing of moving pictures IN
the Aggie auditorium at Z O'Clock,
Friday night, these pictures illus
trating in graphic manner of re-
forestration as we'll as the need for
this important work beginning with
out delay. One hundred and fifty
young "slash pine" trees will be
planted Friday morning by Mr..
Nation on waste lands belonging
to the college, and he desires as
many as possible to attend this dem
onstration. In addition to the
showing at the Aggie college, these
pictures will be shown at Americas
High school at o'clock Friday
morning, and Saturday afternoon
they will be shown in the Rylander
Theater in connection with the reg
ular afternoon program: This
program begins at l o'clock, and
the forestry pictures will be shown
at approximately 2 o'clock.
"Re-forestration is a work that
is beginning to attract much atten-
tion," said NATION this morning,
"because of its possibilities in re-
claiming and making profitable
lands that at present are consider
ed wholly waste, and for the furth-
er reason that under proper condi-
tions these lands can be made to
provide an adequate reserve sup
ply OF timber Tor future building
purposes. The "slash pine now
being planted in this section for re-
forestration provides a profitable
crop within twelve to fifteen years,
and will easily pay as high as $4.e0
to $500 an acre, considering the
revenue from both turpentine and
timber. The turpentine crop taken
from these trees usually is worth
twice as much as the timber itself,
and in planting forests on waste
lands, it is well to remember that
young trees can be raised to pro-
duce good quantity of turpentine
and this can be cropped over con-
siderable number of years, where
the product is handled properly and
the precautions taken not to waste
the forests"
