State Quota Is 3900 In Forest Work
Washington April 15 Plans for hiring 3500 men West Virginia's quota for the reforestation army were discussed by Francis Turner acting state relief chief with national reforestation officials. All recruited in the state will be put to work on projects there. National forests in West Virginia alone could provide work for 4000 men for six months. The administration policy gives the men recruited preference in state work. Turner and Mrs Lauret te de Muir received instructions on selecting applicants in line with the policy. The policy favors single men 18 to 25 who forward their cash allowance to dependents. The number on relief rolls in West Virginia is large, with enough to fill the state's quota. Turner sought to alter the quota allocation to proportion to relief lists rather than population but abandoned those plans. Enrollment for the conservation corps nationally reached 18,608 with 25,000 limit for first enlistment. Officials say some trees deemed weeds will be cut and replaced by commercially valuable species. Little replanting is planned in the Gearse Washington National Forest near Luray Virginia where the first camp starts Monday.
