Soil- BaSk Giving Tree Waiiliiig'
Greatest Impetus Since CCC
Tree planting under the Soil
Bank conservation reserve pro
gram is getting its biggest impe
tus since the days of the Civilian
Conservation Corps, the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture says.
With states expanding Jheir
tree nurseries and arranging with
privately-owned nurseries to in*
crease output, nursery seedling
production for the Soil Bank pro
giam will total 5 billion. This is
more than double the 235,000,000
trees planted by the Cvnlian Con
servation Corps between 1933 and
1942.
To date, some 38 state forestry
agencies have signed agreements
with the USDA’s Forest Service
whereby they will receive finan
cial aid to provide either nursery
stock, technical forestry assist
ance, or both, for farmers plant
ing trees on conservation reserve
lands. These states plan nursery
sowing in 1957 for a future‘Soil
Bank production of about 700
rfullion trees. Approximately 400
million of these trees will be
available for planting next fall
and the spring of 1958.
While nursery production for
.the Soil Bank is getting started
many nurseries will give priority
on their regular stock to farmers
applying for Soil Bank trees.
Forest industry nurseries also are
making trees available to farm
ers participating in the program.
It is expected that 250 million
trees Will have, been made avail

J. Mowery Frey
To Receive
Breeder Award
BRATTLEBORO, Vt J._
Mowery Frey, Lancaster, has
qualified for the Progressive
Breeders’ Award the highest
recognition attainable by a breed
er of registered Holstein cattle.
The Holstein-Friesian Assn of
America has accorded this honor
to only 327 Holstein breeding es
tablishments in the entire nation.
This is the second time that Frey,
one of 36 Pennsylvania recipients,
has been so recognized.
To quahfy for the Progressive
Breeders’ Award, a Holstein
breeder must meet strict-require
ments in all phases of dairy cat
tlet, breeding and management,
including production, type im
provement, herd health and the
development of home-bred ani
mals.
The last production test of the
Frey herd m the Herd Improve
ment-Registry program was com
pleted Nov. 30, 1956, with the 38-
cow herd averaging 13,020 lbs.
of milk and 516 lbs. of butterfat
on two milkings daily.
The herd has also been offi
cially classified for type with an
average score of 82.2.
The current award is based on
a herd of 64 animals of which 43
have freshened. Thirty-six of
these' were born and developed
on the Frey farm.
A certificate of this award has
been sent to Frey by the Holstein-
Fnesian Assn of America, na
tional organization of the Hol
stein breed 'representing nearly
47,000 members.
A bronze year plate will be
presented to him a meeting
of Holstein breeders from his
area to be added to the bronze
plaque awarded when this herd
first achieved the honor
Tests Show Third
of Flocks in NPIP
Are Cross-Mated
Cross mating of chicken flocks
amounted to about one-third of
the flocks under the supervision
of the National Poultry Improve
ment Plan in 1956
Of the flocks that were pure
mated, White Rocks made up 25
per cent, White Leghoi ns 18 9 per
cent, New Hampshircs 6 7 per
cent, Rhode Island Reds, 2 4 per
cent and Barred Rocks, 8 6 per
cent
Four years ago the New Hamp
slures predominated among the
pure flocks, but now the White
Rocks are well out in ficnt.
able for Boil Bank planting by
June 30, 1957.
Within three or four years
nurseries will be producing 1
billion trees per year for the Soil
Bank’program. This is in addition
'to trees produced for programs
established prior to the Soil Bank.
This later production for the year
ending June 30, 1956 was 886
million trees. Nursery production
for Soil Bank will be correlated
with, the rate farmers sign tree
planting contracts with their
county Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation Committees.
To help with Soil Bank tree
planting, 35 states have agreed to
furnish technical forestry assist
ance to farmers. Their personnel
will provide about 1,000 man
months on such work this year.
