In the Sir Waiter Hotel.

Raleigh, March 12.-More thar g.
$4,000 forest seedlings, most of
them pines, have already been ship
ped from the two State Forest nun
series for retOreStatiOn of farm land
and other tracts, it was announced
TODAY by State Forester J. S. Holmes
Of the Department Of Conservation
and Development. A majority of
these seedlings We're grown in the
nursery in Johnston county, near
Clayton, although several hundred
thousand white pines. locusts and
pOplarS were grown in the mountain
nursery in Henderson county.
The forest tree planting season
has just about closed and we would
have disposed Of this years crop of
that shipments were delayed by the
ground being frozen so hard that the
seedlings could not be lifted from
the beds" Mr.. Holmes said. I'VE
have an order for 100000 long leaf
pines to be shipped within the next
few days and there may be some
small orders still to 60 out. But
most of the crop has already been
dug and deliVered.'
The production Of trees from the
two nurseries was about 900 900
more this year than last gear and
slightly exceeded the estimate of the
forestry division, Mr.. Holmes point
ed out. OF the 100000 seedlings
that have already been shipped, 1888
900 were used on reforestation pro
jects in the Bladen Lakes land-tlse
area, now being maintained as a
gene sanctuary and recreational
area by the Department Of Conser-
walton and Development.
The increased interest in forest
planting by individuals in the state
is shown by the fact that this year
orders for trees were received from
$50 persons, While last year orders
were received from $50 individuals.
Thus there was an increase OF al
most so per cent in individual orders
tbs year, Mr.. Holmes pointed out.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

A picture Of a overlooking in.
sect was drawn on a letter from Mrs.
G. Schranz, who writes:
1--WE live out in the country, and
sometimes see an insect that looks
like stick or twig off a tree or
bush. 1t has legs on each side and
real long pincers in front. Can you
tell me what kind of insect this is,
and whether it is dangerous?"
The description points to the So
called walking stick" and the
drawing on the letter makes that
doubly clear.
Walking sticks are insects with
long, narrow bodies. Those found
In the United States and in some
southern parts of Canada usually
have a length of from two to six
inches.
Like other insects, they have
six legs, three pairs on each side
OF the body. The "pincers" men,
toned in the letter really are a
pair OF feelers which extend from
the head. Walking sticks do not
bite or pinch or string people. The.
