Cherokee County
Folks Buy Bonds
The people of Cherokee county-
invested $419,318.75 in U. S. Sav-
ings Bonds during 1949, according
to the annual sales report receiv-
ed by C. D. Acker, county Savings
Bonds chairman, from Nathan Ad-
ams of Dallas, state chairman.
This compares with sales of $481,-
534.00 for 1948.
Of the 1949 total, Series E, the
Bo-called "people's bond" account-
ed for $285,006.25, as compared
with $357,325.00 E bond sales in
1948. Series F and G sales were
$134,312.50 as compared with
$124,209.00 in 1948.
Total sales for the entire state
were $191,499,089, as compared
with $196,448,280 in 1948, Mr. Ad-
ams' report said. This is a declinc

of 2.5 per cent. However, Mr. Ad-
ams declared that sales last year
were highly satisfactory in view
of economic trends and because of
a 3.9 per cent increase in the sale
of E bonds, from $139,591,216 in
1948 to $145,114,738 in 1949. Ser-
ies F and G bonds accounted for
$46,384,351 of the state's sales to-
tal last year.
Mr. Adams said that the people
of Texas today hold more than
$1.5 billion in Savings Bonds, a
substantial share of which are
owned by citizens of this county.
These savings, he added, give the
community, as well as the individ-
ual owners, a high degree of fi-
nancial stability.
Texas Takes Tenth
In Trees Planted
Texas ranked tenth among all
states in the nation in the area
planted to trees during the 1949
planting season. Texans planted
16,223 acres for the period extend-
ing from July 1948 through June
1949. Florida led all states with
37,048 acres planted in the same
period.
The total area planted in Texas
in previous years amounted to
79,471 acres. Almost 96,000 acres
had been reforested in Texas by
June 1949. Ninety-four per cent
of the total area planted in the
1949 planting season was on pri-
vately owned Texas land. Only 1,-
032 acres were planted on public
lands owned by State and Federal
agencies.
Don Young, Head of the Texas
Forest Service Management De-
partment, estimates that approxi-
mately 800,000 acres of idle East
Texas land is in need of planting.
Approximately 17 million tree
seedlings were grown by the Tex-
Mound Nursery this year.
