Local Postmaster
Makes Plea
For Early Hailing
"Eariy mailing of all Christmas
carda and gifts is the biggest tingle
factor in getting all mail deliver
ed before Christmas", Murphy
postmaster Joe Ray stated
Post Office facilities have been
expanded, extra help will he avail
' able, and everything is geared up
1 to handle a record Christmas mail
in Murphy this year, he added.
Ray urged postal patrons to
take special care in preparing gift)
packages for the mails, and to
I make sure all addresses are ligible
and complete
"If you have any articles of un
usual size or bulk, better check
with the Post Office before at
tempting to mail them", the post
master cautioned- "The limits on
size and weight of packages vary,
depending on where you mail your
package"
Ray also offered this advice for
Christmas mailing:
"When wrapping gifts for
mailing, it is always better to use
corrugated cartons, especially
where there are a number of var
ious sized objects in the shipment.
Use plenty of wadded tissue or
newspaper for extra p: otection a
gainst shock, and securely wrap
each package or carton in heavy
paper, and then tie it with strong
cord. Be sure to include an extra
label with your return address and
the recipients address inside the
carton or package before it is
wrapped.
"Another good idea is to plice
a piece of transparent cellophane
tape over the address portion cf
the label on your package to pre
vent defacing in transit, and al
ways make sure to include ths re
cipient's full name, Ureot address,
city, zone and state.
"The Post Office will supply
Pamphlet No. 2, telling you ah
about packaging and wrapping
parcels for mailing, and Pam
phlet No. 3, giving full details on
domestic postage rates and fees
"When mailing your Christmas
cards, use the free labels to*
the Post Office, reading "All For
Local Delivery" and "All For Out
Of Town Delivery". By sorting
your Christmas cards and tying
them in two separate bundles, with
the addresses all facing one way.
you're sure to speed their arrival.

Soil Conservation
NEWS
By
JOHN
SMITH
Last week after the heavy rains,
I was struck by the fact that somo
creeks In Cherokee County run
muddy, while others run clear even
after heavy rains. Bald Creek,
Davis Creek, and many others get
in flood but the water is clear
Brasstown and Little Brasstown
creeks and many others ruu red
with mud after any rain and never
run clear even in long dry spells
The difference is. of course, the
ground cover on the watersheds of
these creeks- Bald Creek and Davis
Creek run through watersheds
which have almost 100% forest
cover. Brasstown and Little Brass
town Creeks run through water
sheds which have a large percent
age of clear land- The amount of
cultivated land has the largest ef
fect on the muddiness of the water,
with the amount of pasture runn
ing a close second
It is possible to have large a
mounts of cleared land and still
have clear streams, but a good
program of soil and water conser
vation is necessary if this is to be
done. If all the pasture in this
county was good, improved pas
ture, and all the cultivated land
was contoured and strip-cropped,
with good winter cover planted af
ter row crops, there would be
much less farm land ending up in
Cherokee Lake ar Hiwassee Lake.
Much of the land which is culti
vated in Cherokee County should
be planted to improved pasture.
Much of the pasture should either
be improved or re-planted to pine
trees. Many of the so-called pas
tures offer little grazing and prac
tically no ground cover for soil
sent by first class mail, and be
sure to put your return address on
your Christmas card envelopes.
This is not only socially correct,
but will enable both you and your
friends to keep your mailing lists
up-to-date
"Christmas cards and packages
for out-of-town destinations should
be mailed well before December
1U, and your Christmas mail for
local delivery should be sent at
least a week before Christmas".
all sections of the coenty have
learned through experience ? that
one acre ot improved pasture
property maintained, la worth ten
acres of wild un-lm proved pasture.
Cultivated fields can be run in
row crops far years if properly
contoured and if green manure or
cover crops are planted and turned
Into the soil after each row crop.
The practice of running the same
field in row crops year after year
Is not highly recommended, but
sometimes, due to lack a i cultiva
table land, this may become neces
sary on some farms- Claude Pat
terson of Bearpaw says, "I planted
corn in one field for twenty three
years and improved the land each
year by turning under green ma
nure and the litter from my chick
m tmuM." Wayne Abaraathy and
many other farmer* have had
similar experience*
The important thing ia the organ
ic matter turned beck into the toil
Organic matter protects the land
{rem washing, and greatly increas
es the Water-holding capacity at
the soil. A soil high in organic mat
ter catches rain water as it falls
and gives it time to soak into the
ground instead of running off over
the top of the ground carrying the
top soil with it- This water then
becomes available for plants to use
later. A soil without organic matter
allows the rein fall to run oft over
the top of the ground, ending up in
the streams and producing flood
When the crops or grass need it in
a dry period, the rain water is not
aiailible
Your age
is ri?ht!
Every age Is the BIGHT age
to start saving. System
atic thrift makes the difference
between wishing and having
for all people of all
tges. Your time to start Is . . . NOW!
