Grazing Woodlands Can Harm Timber & Cattle I Cattle *od timber don't always mix, especially in the moun tains white limn are trying to produce bath on the same land. In mountain hardwood forests, grazing seriously damages trees of all ages, says Leonard Hamp ton forest management special-1 ist for the N. C. Agricultural Ex tension Service. Damage to roots and trampling' of the boil slow the growth of Umber la time, older trees are weakened and frequently die "In addition to daman to older tree*." Hampton added, "the young hardwoods, pine seedlings and saplings that represent a fu ture crop are destroyed " Woodland grazing can also low er the quality of timber. Hamp ton continued, because grazing can cause an increase in decay of the butt log The specialist points to another harmful effect of woodland gra* iag ? Mil damage. Cult trampling of livestock com pacts the mil and destroy* the normal loose condition he ex plained The compact soil allows greater runoff of rainfall, parti cularly in the Piedmont and mountain counties 1 Experiments conducted by the B.

SMITH The Department of the Interior Fish Hatchery at Cohutta, Geor gia has notified me that bass fingerlings for several Cherokee County ponds will be delivered next Tuesday at ten o'clock at the Post Office. Ponds to be stocked with bass include two on the Whit mire fram at Brass town. One at the Carl Sudderth Farm at Peach tree and one on the Cecil Burgess Farm at Marble. Bream were put in these same ponds last fall. The bream have not spawn ed and the little bream will fur nish a plentiful supply of food for the bass. By fall, the bass should have grown to a length of eight to ten inches. Bruce Mills, on Hanging Dog has recently complained the in stallation of fourteen hundred and fifty feet of tile drainage on the farm operated by his father and himself. The ditches were dug by a local contractor with a trac tor mounted ditcher. This ma chine saved Bruce many a shovel full of dirt. Several farmers have inquired as to the possibility of getting financial assistance from the ASC on tile ditching. At the present time no further approvals can be given for assistance, but there is a good possibility that ap provals can be given later on for further ditching. Three farmers who were given seed for experimental plaintings of grass this spring have reported that the grasses are coming up to a good stand. Wilbur McCombs planted an acre of King Ranch Bluestem on his farm. Mount Allen planted an acre of Harding grass, and Willard Taylor planted an acre of Bahia Grass on his place. All of these grasses are natives of places a long way from Cherokee County. One grass is a native of Texas, another of the West, and the third of Argentina. It is hoped that some or all of them will prove to be good forage grasses for this part of toe Country Ed Graves said last week that he had gotten corn planted in the field where he recently installed three hundred and seventy five feet of drain tile. He was not able to plant the field in 1959 because it was too wet. The field was planted in 1968 but did not make much corn because of the excess water. He should have no further trouble with water since the tile has been installed. The application for the Little Brastown Creek Wateshed has been sent to Raleigh for review by the Watershed Panning Party. When the application is returned, it will be signed by the Board of Supervisors of the Cherokee Coun ty Soil Conservation District and forwarded to the State Soil Con servation Committee (or approval. There is a good possibility of the establishment of a watershed Monty Honored By Red China TOKYO - Field Marshal Viscoont Montgomery on bit visit to Had China wag honored Tues day night at ? banquet given by foreign Minister Chen Yi in Pel ping. the Peiping radio said. in the Peachtree Creek and Slow Creek watersheds. These two! creeks, which join into one a couple of miles north of High way 64, drain a total of more than twelve thousand acres of land. Along the two creeks there is some of the finest agricultural land to be found in this part of the country. Some of this land is flooded badly once or oftener every spring and sometimes again in the fall. The establishment of a watershed would greatly re duce the danger and severity of the flooding. SOME GOOD EATING FISH "Long Tom" Lonning and his running mate, Ven dall Thomas, both of Murphy, cashed in on a golden opportunity last Sunday when they went fishing with Lee Thomas, Vendall's father. Shown above are the re sults of an afternoon's work or I should say play. This string includes two bass, the largest weighing a little over two pounds, and 14 pike. Mr. Thomas took the boys to his favorite fishing waters off point No. 8 at Hiwassee Lake Lizards were used as bait. __ AMONG THE SICK Patients admitted to Provi dence Hospital; Mrs. Ruth Duck worth.
