Pisgah National Forest Has
Been Established 25 Years
As Protected Game Preserve
Twenty-five years ago saw the first I
official move for establishment of Pls
gah National Forest, which has since
grown Into a material asset to Tran
sylvania and surrounding communities.
The following article was prepared for
publication by Wm. Huber, assistant
ranger, at request of The Times:
THE PI8QAH RANOER DISTRICT
In 1918 the U. S. Forest Service took
the administration of 90,000 acres of
the upper watershed of the French
Broad River and a small portion of the
watershed of Pigeon River In Transyl
vania, Haywood, Buncombe, and Hen
derson counties. This land was ac
quired from George W. Vanderbilt who
had systematically restacked the area
with deer and other wild life.
The Plsgah National Game Preserve
was created by presidential proclama
tion October 17, 1916, following appro
priate action by the Legislature of the
State of North Carolina and by the
Congress of the United States to auth
orize the exercise of this power. Since
1916 the U. S. Forest haa carefully pro
tected the area acquired and continued
the acquisition of land until the pur
chased area now Includes 160.009 acres.
In 1936 the U. S. Forest Service in
cooperation with the N. C. Conserva
tion Commission set aside 30,700 acres
of National Forest land as the Sher
wood Fish and Game Management
Area. His area Is protected by three
state wardens in addition to the regular
Plsgah personnel.
The Plsgah Ranger district, there
fore, Is made up of three separate
areas, a national game preserve now
containing 100,000 acres, a cooperative
state and federal area containing 80,
700 acres, and approximately 20,000
acres of land not included In a game
preserve. Six thousand acres on the
Bent Creek watershed are used by the
Appalachian Experiment station for ex
perimental purposes connected with for
estry.
Hie risgan ruingei uistuv-i 10
a few miles drive of Brevard, Hender
sonville, Rosman, Asheville, Candler,
Canton, and Waynesvllle. The district
In fact Is the hub of a wheel made up
of these towns.
The Plsgah furnishes the towns of
Brevard and Hendersonville with pure
drinking water from their reservoirs on
the forest. Brevard uses the Kings
Mill Creek for their water supply and
Hendersonville the headwaters of Big
Creek. Other towns such as Canton
and Waynesvllle while not having their
reservoirs directly on the forest are ma
terially aided by the flow of pure moun
tain streams that have their head
waters on the Plsgah District Water
shed protection is one of the most Im
portant of the many Forest Service
activities and it is for this reason that
forest flres are so vigorously combat
ted. The water from the Pisgah has
proven of such a pure quality that the
Ecusta Paper Mill has purchased land
adjacent to the district on Davidson
River and will use this water in the
manufacture of cigarette paper. This
plant requires water almost 100 per
cent pure.

elude eight picnic and camping areas
Two of these campgrounds have swim
ming pools and two are modified to;
accommodate trailers. Two hundred and I
forty miles of trails are available for
the use of hikers and nature lovers.
One hundred and twenty miles of trails;
are maintained for the use of horse- j
back riders. These trails lead to scenic
points of Interest such as the famous
Mount Pisgah, elevation 5.749 feet,!
Lookingglass Rock. Devil's Courthouse.
Tennessee Raid, and the Hamilton
Neill Palls.
The natural beauty of the Pisgah
District can easily be enjoyed by tak
ing a tour over one of the twelve roads
maintained by the Forest Service and
connected to State Highways 284, 280
and 191. The views from the Pisgah]
Ledge and the view of the beautiful,
Lookingglass Falls are well worth the|
tour.
During the summer months regulated
fishing is conducted on the streams of
the Pisgah Ranger District. These
are aranged to provide open seasons
on all areas of the district and are]
opened for three day periods so that
the streams will not be over fished.
A 22 day open season was provided,
opening on May 7th on the Sherwood
Game Refuge and closing on August
21st on the Pisgah Game Preserve.
Over a thousand fishermen participat
ed during the 1938 season.
Tn the fall of the year controlled
hunts are provided to reduce over
stocking conditions. In the fall of
1937, ten bear, seven hundred and nine
deer and several hundred grey squir
rels were killed. A further reduction
of the deer herd is necessary and it is
planned to do this by additional hunt
ing in 1938. Other means of further re
ducing the herd are by deer trapping
and fawn rearing. In 1937, two hun
dred and fifty three adult deer were
shipped to other cooperative areas in
phis, Ind. She came to Asheville In
1896 to help regain her Impaired health
and get the benefit of the Asheville
climate. Her health being greatly im
proved, she was elected In 1898 to teach
In the Orange street school in Ashe
ville, where she taught until 1901. She
was married to W. E. Shuford in 1900,
and there was bom to them one son,
who with her husband survive. Mrs,
Shuford was an amiable, Intellectual
and accomplished young woman and
made friends wherever she went.
Ex-goveraor T. J. Jarvis was very
painfully, though It Is thought not
seriously, injured In a run-away acci
dent near Asheville Tuesday night. He
was returning from a Confederate re
union at Swannanoa when his horse
ran away. He was thrown heavily to
the ground, receiving a deep gash over
the right eye.
Providence permitting. Rev. M. A.
West will preach at the Little River
chapel next Sunday.
North Carolina and other states for
stocking purposes. One hundred and
fourteen fawns were also raised at the
Plsgah Fawn Plant and restocked on
other areas In North Carolina. Ten

Is the only known farm of Its kind In
the world. Permission to see the fawns
can be obtained from the Rangel's of
fice at Plsgah Forest, or from the For
est Supervisor's office in Asheville.
The Plsgah district Is one of the five

acres In size. The Ranger districts
are: the Mt. Mitchell, with headquar
ters at Marlon; the French Broad,

New Advertising For
Camel Cigarettes To
Be Carried In Times
"Let up. Light up a Camel!" to off
set the nervous strain caused by the
fast pace of modem living, R. J. Rey
nolds Tobacco Company advises In a
new advertising campaign
The newspaper and magazine copy
contrasts the healthy nerves of a dog
with the often upset nerves of man.
A headline "Don't Let Tension Get
Tour Nerves!” Is followed in the first
of a new series of advertisements by
the illustration of a Collie and accom
panied by the text:
“This Collie doy has a nervous system
that is remarkably similar to yours.
Like yours It Is delicate, complicated.
But here Is where a big difference
comes In: The dog can spring Into
flashing action—and then relax. While
man's nature makes him unkind to his
nerves. All too often, we work too
hard, worry too much, are fatigued or
sleepless from strain. Nerves cry for
rest, but we do not hear. Don’t let
tension "get” your nerves. Give your
nerves a frequent rest—a pleasant
breathing spell—“Let up. Light a
Camel." Camels help you to remem
ber that you need a brief bit of leisure,
for they are mild and mellow, a su
premely enjoyable cigarette, made from
costlier tobaccos. Steady smokers find
that "Let up—Light up a Camel” puts
more Joy Into living, and that Camel's
costlier tobaccos are mild and soothing
to their nerves.”
In addition to the consistent use of
newspaper advertising space and mag
azine advertising both In color and
black and white, the R J. Reynolds
Tobacco Company Is using radio ex
tensively. Benny Goodman, King of
Swing, and his band continue to play
throughout the summer over the coast
to- coast Columbia net-work at 8: SO
(E.8.T.) Tuesday evenings. Eddie Can
