Holmes Farmers
Urged To Consider
Tree Planting

This is a good year for Holmes
County farmers to consider
planting trees as a conservation
practice, according to Lynn Jor-
dan, Chairman of the Holmes
Agricultural Sterilization and
Conservation County Committee.
Mr.. Jordan said figures furnish
ed by the State Forester indi-
cate that ample seedlings are
still available for planting this
year. Nationally, the U. S. Forest
Service estimates there will be
between two and two-and-one-
half billion trees available for
planting from State, private and
industrial nurseries.
Approximately 80 per cent of
these seedlings will be produced
in State nurseries, the Forest
Service reports.
Farmers who want cost
sharing assistance in planting
trees as a conservation practice
are urged to make their requests
as soon as possible. The ASC
county office is accepting appli-
cation for cost-shares now, Mr..
Jordan said. He pointed out that
unde- the Agricultural Conser-
walton Program (ACP) the Fed
eral Government shares the costs
Of tree planting for conservation.
Costs are shared between farm
r and the government on land
preparation, cost of planting
stock. and the actual planting
costs.
Last year. Holmes County
farmers planted 1900 acres of
trees with coSt-share assistance
under the conservation reserve
this year, MIR. Jordan said.
He emphasized also the inn
portance of small woodland
holdings as the major part of
our forest resource. Fiftv-five
Der cent of all commercial forest
land is in the hands of small
woodland owners.
