Many Trees to Be Planted Labor Day in Missouri
Missouri land owners will plant over 5.5 million trees this Labor Day season as the Conservation Commission distributes stock through county agents. State Forester George White notes the 1949 program doubles last year, with 2.5 million Multiflora Rose shrubs and Shortleaf pine among species. Since 1939, about 14.46 million seedlings have been given to 9,367 farmers, aided by the U.S. Forestry Service since 1947.

Missouri Traffic Deaths Drop in January
Missouri State Highway Patrol records show 44 traffic deaths in January 1949, down 31 percent from January 1948. Rural and small-city areas fell from 48 to 33 deaths, urban areas over 10,000 from 16 to 11, with nine pedestrians killed statewide. Weather and hazardous roads reduced speeds, officials say. Colonel David E. Harrison notes similar accident counts but less severe crashes due to slower speeds and harsher conditions.
