Pine Seeding
Orders Call For
Two Million
Murl Keiser At IS
Displays Typical
Landowner Interest
BY BEN BOWERS

Orders received to date by the
Farmville district office of the
Division Of Forestry call for more
than two million pine seedlings
for planting this year.
Herald area farmers account
for almost half of the 2,242 300
loblolly and white pine seedlings
ordered in the ten-comty district.
The Division of Forestry, in or
der to encourage reforeStatiOn,
grows and sells forest tree seed
lingS. The trees are priced at the
approximate cost of production
and are available for forest plant
ing only. Delivery of the seed
hngS has begun in this area, with
about a half million already
placed in the hands of farmers.
Interest Climbs
Interest in tree planting by the
small farmer has taken on very
rapidly in the past few years and
is expected to expand even fuI.th-
err in areas where forestry clubs,
such as the new one in Prince
Edward, are being organized.
Typical of the people who are
showing a renewed interest in
pine planting is Murl Keiser of
Abilene. Keiser, a retired agent of
the Virginia Railroad. plans to
plant 5000 seedlings this season.
His enthusiasm for the pine
planting business parellels his
fondness for raising a vegetable
garden. In fact, after 40 years at
the Abilene station, getting the
trees planted by himself and rails
ing another garden are his two
major work projects for the year,
he says.
Keiser, whose farm is located
in the Buffalo creek watershed,
is a member Of the countv's new
forestry club At age So, he does
MT expect to see the present
planting mature completely, but
he has reasons for wanting more
trees.
Money In Pines
Born in West Virginia, he said,
Il have always been interested in
forests. My father liked the
woods, and before / went to work
with the railroad, / did little
saWmill work He added that he
knows there is money in pine. too,
for the major part of business at
his station the past few years was
pulpwood
Owning a 130-acre farm which
he hasn't farmed since 1910 and
having four children and some
grandchildren to reap the benefits
are two real good reasons for
planting more trees, Keiser add
ed.
keiser. who was the first to re-
ceive one of the tree planting bars
purchased by the Prince Edward
supervisors, also knows that it
doesn't take forever for tiny pines
to grow to be big ones. He has
well grown pine stand planted
just eight years ago.
Two thousand of the 5000 seed
ling order Kelser placed have
been delivered. He said, Il plan
to start planting just as soon as
the weather opens up
Two hundred and forty seven
landowners in the ten-county dis
trict placed orders. Seventy one
farmers have already been serv-
iced.
The orders for loblolly seedlings
by county for the Herald area
are: Amelia. 81 900; Buckingham,
348 900: Charlotte, SAG, 700; Cum
berland, $500; and Prince Ed
ward. 5000.
