Plans for a formal dedication of the Taber Memorial Forest in Wayne County unfold as the project by Juvenile Grange members across the country reaches its 1F month mark.

More than 100 contributions totaling 4173 have funded the effort, with one penny planting one tree and 54 trees per acre. Planting began with 19 000 one year and shortleaf pine and pitch pine seeds in spring 1841, continued with 1250 additional pitch pine seeds last fall, and the project aims to yield a revenue-producing forest through paper pulp thinning in time.
