Trees For Forest Planting Inactive land could grow timber crop
A county survey found 15 646 acres of waste land suitable for timber and other forest products. The State Forestry Department offers 650 000 nursery trees at cost from 0.5 to 2 cents each, with about 1 000 trees needed per acre and spacing of 6 by 6 feet. Planting turns idle land into a timber crop with low maintenance and early revenue from thinnings.
