Forestry Facilities Still Available To Georgia Farmers
Georgia gains continued use of Soil Bank forestry facilities without cost after President Kennedy signed an act on June 25. The Georgia Forestry Commission received 1 260 863 dollars in Soil Bank funds to build nurseries, a seed laboratory, and expansions at the Herty Nursery in Albany, with local and state partners contributing to land purchase and development. The act ensures ongoing support for forestry programs, with Georgia receiving the largest federal assistance of any state for forest tree supply. Senators Russell and Talmadge backed the measure along with a slate of congressmen and one congresswoman.
