COLLEGE STATION. June 24
—Newton county, for the fourth
successive year, has exceeded all
other Texas counties in reforesta-
{ turn, according to the annual sum-
maty of tree planting activities
re'eoed by Don Young, head.
Management Department, of the
Texas Forest Service.
A record production of more
than 20,500,000 seedlings were
planted by Texas farmers, ranch-
ers and forest industries in the
; 1953-54 season, extending from
December, 1953, through March.
1954. This represents approxi-
i mately 100 per cent increase over
the previous year. The distribu-
tion of tree seedlings for the 1952-
i 53 planting season was approxi-
! mately 10,385,000.
Newt o n County landowners
j planted 2,041,300 seedlings this
I season. Ranked below Newton,
other leading counties in the total
I number of trees planted were Jas-
per, Cass, Hardin, l’olk, Orange,
Rusk, Nacogdoches, Tyler, Marion
and Cherokee. Each of the 11 cou-
ties planted more than one-half
million' seedlings.'
Cass County farmers headed the
t list of farm plantings, wit.h 2,053,-
j 050, seedlings. In the order named,
Jasper, Rusk, Marion, Nacog-
doches, Cherokee, Upshur, Panola,
i Snath and Walker Counties fol-
i lowed Cass in the number of tree
'seedlings planted by farmers. More
1 than half of the total 20'J million
.seedlings were planted by 29111
farmers and ranchers. This is be-
lieved tn be a record number of
I’, xa; tree planters.
In some cases, farmers quali-
fied for A SC pnvments for plant-
ing seedlings
As a result of an extensive tree
planting campaign in the Cass and I
M.iriqt) Sail fii'i erv at loti District,
Ca-s County, with 304 tree plant-
ers, far exceeded all other Tex.c [
counties insofar as the number of i
tre c'pluntcrs in concerned. Marion
Ciiirnty, with 'mV tree planters,
was also a leading county. In the
order named, Rusk, Smith, Cher-
okee, Nueogdocht*, Harrison, Up-
shur, Marion, Wood and Ander-
son Counties followed Cass in the
number of formers and ranchers
planting seedlings. The 47 Randall
County ranchers and farmers
topped the list of West Texas and
Panhandle windbreak tree plant-
ers.
] Most of the tree seedlings were
i grown in Cherokee County at the
| 73-acre Indian Mound Nursery,
operated by the Texas Forest Ser-
vice, a part of the Texas A & M
College System. The windbreak
seedlings were obtained from Ok-
lahoma. Sixteen different species
were planted in Texas, predomin-
ately southern yellow pines. A
production of more than 18 million
tree seedlings is anticipated for
the coming planting season.

Game Harvest
Preliminaries
Are Underway
AUSTIN, June 33.—The execu-
tive secretary of the Game and
Fish Commission said staff em-
ployes in various parts of the state
are making studies preliminary to
setting maior game harvest spa-
sons.
The 'Commission will meet in
Austin in July to make its recom-
mendations on waterfowl, white-
wing dove and mourning dove
regulations to the United States
Fish and Wildlife Service which
sets the seasons.
At the same time, the Commis-
sion will determine harvest spec-
ifications for areas where it has >
regulatory powers, including the j
major /ones West of the Pecos
and in the Panhandle and in
smaller regions at scattered points
in the state.
The seasons on big game and
quail for the state at large are set
by law.
Nbw, Commission staffers are
surveying the antelope herds,
checking potential whitewing
flights in Mexico and inventorying
mourning doves.
Meanwhile, meetings between
i sportsmen and Commission repre-
sentatives are going ahead in the
Panhandle, West of the Pecos and
in smaller areas over which the
| Commission has regulatory auth-
ority to determine harvest dimen-
j sions on the basis of current do-
i velopmonts.
Data likewise is being accum-
ulated, according to the executive
! secretary, to background t h e
I state’s recommendations to Fed-
eral authorities on the duck and
goose seasons.
The director of wildlife restora-
tion, W. C. Glazener, reported that
the first completed census—that
on antelope in the Big Bend area—
indicates possibility of too few
mature bucks to warrant an open
season there this fall. The area
has been scourged by drouth.
The aerial survey in the Pan-
handle, which last year had its |
tirst antelope . hunt in modern I
times, after successful restocking
is just getting underway.
Whitewing dove studies”lit il'e •
Pio Grande Valley and in the area ;
southward in Mexico where the !
fleet birds sometlint's concentrate, ;
have been lather pessimistic to !
date, according to Glazener. The
whitcwing population, harassed by
habitat shrinkage, reached an all-
11tile low last fall and the annual
harvest was disappointing.
