Franklin McSwain Serving On IISS Northampton Midshipman Franklin McSwain, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. McSwain of Murphy, is currently serving aboard the U9S Northampton, the fleet flagship of Vice Admiral William R. Smedberg in, Commander of the Second Fleet, which is partici pating in fleet exercises off the Eastern seaboard. Northampton, commanded by Captain John M. Lee. USN, left her homeport or Norfolk. Virginia in early June. Northampton was the guest of New York City for a week, participating in the 350th anniver sary of the founding of the Hudson river. Since that time, the ship has been at sea. This cruise is one of three that will equip the Midshipmen, future officers of the U. S. Navy, with the technical knowledge so vital to our country's defense. The Midshipmen will be rotated In the oDerations, gunnery and engineering departments during the cruise. They will also partici pate in shipboard drills and wattch es. be assigned to battle stations and attend classes. As the Navy's only fleet flagship, Northampton is well suited to train ing in command and control func tions at sea. Her extensive radio and radar facilities enable her to be the very nerve center of a large task fleet and ear-marks her as an important segment of the Navy.

Soil Conservation News by John Smith John Wiggins of Raleigh, who Is the Forest Technician for the Soil Conservation Service Is North Car olina. was here for two days this week holding a school on forest management for the Soil Conser vation Service technicians of Clay. Graham, Macon. Swain and Cher okee counties. The farm of Claud Anderson was used as a site for this school. Wiggins, who is ? train ed forester, showed the latest met hods of selecting and marking trees for removal in a thinning opera tion. Practically every loraster has his own metlod which lie uses to determine wnlch trees should be re moved and which should be left for timber production. Generally, the plot wilt have about the same amount of trees left and removed regardless of what method is used for marking. t Anyone who is planning to cut any timber should gel the services of a professional forester before starting a thinning or cutting opera tion. All agricultural agencies have a forresler whose services can be obtained either free or at a very reasonable fee. The cose of marking will be more than returned in an Increase in the price of pulp, or timber sold. Probably more money is lost by the farmers of North Carlina every year by selling a boundary of timber without knowing what it is actually worth. There are very few instances where clear-cutting is the proper thing to j do. but all too many tracts are sold on this basis. Unless the land : is to be put into cultivation or pas ture after the timber is cut, it is necessary that seed trees be left to re-seed the area. If proper seed I trees are not left the area will grow up in cull hard wood which will not be worth much. In addition to the foresters avail able through the agricultural agen cies. several pulp and paper mills have trained foresters who will give farmers good advice on how to cut timber to get the most out of it.

A student from the School of De. sign is working on a project, it collaboration with others, in which plans are being made for the con struclion of a giant glass enclosec shopping center. He told m? me that from 12.000 to 15.000 square feet of planting space would be provided within the structure foi plant materials that might he adap ted to the controlled environment provided. From the space allocation for plants alone, you may be able to Judge the size of the structure. Twelve thousand square feet would be equivalent to a greenhouse 6C feet by 200 feet which is sizable. These soecifications were given: a constant temperature of 72 de prees: a relative humiditv of 4!> per cent: and a dav length of approxi m?telv IS hours. Manv plants would like the temperature: the I humidity Is low. 60 per cent would J be hetter ->nd the dav-len?th of IS hours would pose a problem with some plants. We agreed that replacement ot plants would be necessary at inter | vals to give variety and color and I to replace plants which may be come unhappv. Management of the planting areas would require skill and understanding. The economics of such a project would, of course, be brought into sharp focus. Here is the list of plant materials we prepared, many of which can be used in your home, depending upon available space and growing conditions? hyacinth, tulip, daffodil, crocus, ageratum mexicanum. snai* dragon, celosia, impatiens, petunia hvbrida. African marigold, French marigold, verbena, zinnia elegans, Chinese spotted and variegated evergreens, kangaroo vine, grape ivy. dumb cane (Dieffanbachial, English ivy. watermelon begonia, green peperomia, Philadendron 'cordalum, dubium, blushing, split leaf and tri-leaf >. wandering jew, devil's ivy. shrimp plant, cacti, co leus. gardenia, lantana. caladium, and palms. More next time. Keep poultry records. Blossom-end rot of bell pepper is believed tto be related ta calcium deficiency. The modern supermarket has over 4.000 items from which to choose.
