Tree Orders Being Urged Farmen that plan to plant tree* should place their orders for seedlings within the next few days. Though most seedlings will not be planted until next spring, the supply is limited and those who desire plants should get application blanks filled oat and mailed soon. There will not be any free seedlings for farmers this year. During past years TV A has furnished seedlings without charge, but this organisation is now turning these seedlings over to the N. C. Dept. of Conservstion and Development for distribution. The cost of seedlings will be $6.75 'per thousand. At the recommended spacing of 8 by 6 feet, a thousand seedlings wUl plant about 1.4 acres. When spot planting is done a greater area can be covered with the same number of plants. Supervisors of the Watauga Soil Conservation District feel that tree planting is one of the most valuable practices that can be applied on many farms. Growing timber is one of the best ways of checking erosion. A person can expect a return of from 6 to 10 percent annually for land, time and money spent in planting and managing growing timber. There are several thousand acres thst need to be reforested in the county. Much of this land is now in pasture—so steep that it is almost impossible to apply necessary lime and fertilizer for good grazing. Some of this land is now growing up in briars and brush. After pines are well established worthless types of vegetation become less of a problem Application blanks for ordering seedlings are available through the office of Soil Conservation Service, County Agent, and the County Forester. Saturday Blaze Razes Sawmill A sawmill operated by Ralph Hodges on the old county home property was completely destroyed by fire Saturday afternoon. The Boone volunteer fire department answered • call between 5 and 5:30 p. m., and arrived in time to save a portion of the lumber. However, a sizable quantity of lumber and slabs was destroyed in addition to the mill. The origin of the fire is not known. Jurors Drawn For Ellis Trial NEWLAND, July 15 — Twelve jurors snd sn alternate were selected from s special venire. of 100 McDowell County citizens today for the second trial of J.

Program Old Ways Popular Our 1097 Summer Programs of "the old music" and "old mountain ways" have been well-attended. Next Saturday will see the fourth such gathering at the festival platform East of Boone and overlooking the Blue Ridge. We all have a good time singing the old songs, playing folk games, and hearing "Jack Tales." We meet each Saturday, through August 31, from S to S p.m. We would welcome more and more people from Boone, and from the surrounding country, who can play the fiddle or banjo. We need especially singers who know the old sacred songs, and we would be particularly blessed if a group can come to sing for us out of the Christian Harmony. Old tiiMfrtfH art brought to these gatherings. Cm you brim quilts or hooked rags mad* oa the ancient patterns? Who call bring a broad-axe? Who can bring other old tooU—loke a fro we. and •bow us how shako or board* are rived? Who can come and help with a "House Raising"? Far, the lop of an historical log house are piled up near the platform waiting for experts to help raise them into place. Last summer old miiTdU-loadlng hog-rifles were brought and fired off. We would like very much to see this again! These folk programs are held to help the new generation, and our summer visitors, become better acquainted with the ways and traditions of our . part of the nation. And, as many of our older citlsens have often said, "The old music will never die out if folks only get a chance to hear it." We hope that you can come next Saturday, July 20th, and take the afternoon with us. Bring your fiddle, your banjo, your dulCimore. Bring your copy of the Christian Harmony. Bring an old frowe and mallet, or a broad-axe. Bring that beautiful old quilt Come any time from 2 o'clock on. The festival platform is Just East of the outdoor theatre ("The Horn"). Yours in s firm faith that the fine traditions of our mountain people will always live if we can, here at Boone, offer opportunities for these traditions to become known to others. RICHARD CHASE, Director of the Dsniel Boone Folk Arts Festivals Valle Crucis | Wins 11 To 7 Valla Cruel* travelled to B1 lag Rock on Wednesday and won a ball game 11 to 7.

Flies Cut Milk Flow Cow* constantly bothered by die* and other Insects (imply will not produce a* well a* those that do not have to apend most of their time fighting these pests, states Marvin Senger, dairy specialist for the N. C. Agricultural Extension Service. Senger declares that every effort should be made to keep flies off the cows. Controlling flies is one of the most important factors necessary to keep up the summer milk flow, he emphasized. Producers will need to rely on pyrethrum products for the control of biting flies on their animals giving milk. The use of malathion and diazinon in baits and in residual sprays for the control of house flies in dairies is expected to receive considerable attention this'year, according to Senger. He auggeat* that for more detailed information on how to control flies around the dairy barn contact your local county farm agent.
