COMPLETE PROGRAM
OF TREE-PLANTlNG
Largest Annual Task of Kind In His
tory of South Finished by
Forest Service

Atlanta, July 25-The largest an
nual tree-planting program ever un-
dertaken in the South has been COM
pleted by the United States Forest
Service, according to Joseph G. Kir-
cher of Atlanta, Georgia, southern re-
gional forester for the United States.
Mr.. Kircher said that his organi-
cation had used 48,000,O0O seedlings,
most of them longleaf pine and slash
pine, for reforestation from Deem
Der 1, 1885, to May 1, 1886. The ma
jority of these young trees were
grown in the Stuart Nursery on the
Kisatchie National Forest near Alex
andria, Louisiana, from cones gath
cred by CCC boys throughout the
south and shipped to the nursery for
the extraction and planting of the
seed. There was a bumper crop of
pine cones last year, and the Forest
Service took full advantage of it.
Six or seven years may elapse before
Nature again provides such a boun-
tiful supply of ceed. Approximately
15,000,000 gallons of water are used
annually to irritate the seed beds
at the Stuart Nursery, one of the
largest tree nurseries in the world.

College Station, Raleigh, July ga
concerted nationwide effort to aid
beef cattle producers on 100000 Anne
rican farms in moving the abundant
supply Of good quality beef. into chan
nels of consumption will be pushed
during August.
Known as National Beef Month";
all retail meet outlets in the United
States, including chain stores and in
dependent dealers. will join during
August in reducing the supply of
beef
Livestock associations, marketing
agencies, and the packing industry
are giving their full support to the
movement, said E. H. Hostetler, pro-
fessOr of animal husbandry at State
College. Proof of the magnitude of
the beef supplies which have been
coming to market are statistics for
the month of June which indicates
that the tonnage of beef produced
during the month was the largest for
any June in history
Housewives are being advised that
not only is there an abundance of
good quality beef available, but also
coed beef is being sold at bargain
prices, said Hostetler. Reports from
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
show that beef is being retailed at
prices from to 80 percent below
those which prevail at this same time
in 1885.
Beef has always been in high favor
with the consuming public, Hostetler
pointed out. Since 1900 the people of
the United States have eaten an aver
age of 139 pounds of meat per per-
son annually. OF this amount, ap-
proximatoly half was beef, including
veal.
In recent years, the use of beef
has been on the increase. In 1884.
said Hostetler, the estimated per cap
tia consumption of this meat was
627 pounds, which was the largest
