purposes, pines have few equals; all being of rapid growth. 
Take some of our barren hills and plant them to pines; 
In a few years what a different appearance the country 
will have. In the past few years millions of these have 
been set out in the Piedmont and Berkeley hills and 
today that section is assuming a different look. What 
effect will these have? They will add much beauty to the 
landscape, attract more rain, and retain the moisture 
in the ground and preserve the rainfall. Write us if
