Maryland Examines Forest Work For Unemployed
A Maryland survey on profitable forestry work under the national reforestation program was nearly finished by state forestry officials. K E Pfeiffer said the study will be presented at a conference of state foresters in Washington called by the Secretary of Agriculture to plan using unemployed men in forests. Maryland has about 50 000 acres of state forest land, half in Western Maryland. A 1000 acre tract in Patapsco state forest is now used for an unemployment relief project. Hundreds have applied at the army recruiting station and the veterans division to enroll for the work, though officials had not received enrollment instructions. In northern Ohio, about 10 percent of the peach buds survived the February zero wave.
