Chestnut Seedlings Distributed by Tygart Valley District
The Tygart's Valley Soil Conservation District received 2500 blight resistant chestnut seedlings for distribution to cooperating farmers. Plant them thirty feet apart and fence from livestock. If bought from a nursery, they would cost about one dollar per foot, so the district will place them with suitable farms that can provide proper care. Chestnuts, once vital to Virginians and game, may be replaced by these blight resistant trees as a soil and water conservation measure.
