FLAX GROWING HERE
DISCUSSED BY NEW
PLANTJTECHNICIAN
Ecusta Corporation Official
Says Experiments Will
Be Carried Out
Possibilities of growing flax In Tran
sylvania county for use In the manu
facture of fine cigarette paper was
discussed by 1* F. Dixon at the meet
ing of Brevard Klwanls club last
Thursday.
Mr. Dixon, who spent nearly twenty
years In the flax work as technician
for Uggett A Myers Tobacco company,
and the past three and one-half years
with Harry H. Straus, president of
the Ecusta Paper corporation, said
that principal cash value of flax grown
In America Is the seed, and that the
straw Is a by-product
Sections of tho far west are now
growing flax on a commercial scale,
but he said that the growers there had
vast areas suitable to the growth of
the product and he was not seemingly
enthused over prospects of growing It
here at a profit due to several circum
stances.
In the opinion of Mr. Dixon, who Is
regarded as an authority of the first
order on growing and processing of
flax fibre, the crop here would not
produce any more, or possibly as much
as corn as a cash crop.
Tho Ecusta official said that experi
ments would be tried here, and that
he was convinced the soil type was
conducive to the growth of good flax,
but small areas, and the high rainfall
here would be factors to be considered.
Mr. Dixon expreesed himself as being
highly pleased with Brevard and the
surrounding community, and said that
he had wished to locate here ever since
he was a member of the Weaver Col
lege faculty for two years.
The speaker said he was satisfied
that people here would be pleased with
the type cltlrenshlp the Ecusta Paper
Corporation was bringing In at this
time, and will bring later on as In
structors and executives, and that his
dealings with President Harry Straus
during the past three and one half
years had proven conclusively that the
chief executive of the new concern
was a gentleman of the first order,
and that other members of the com
pany would be of high calibre.

Beware Of Dangers
On Friday, the 13th
All subscribers of The Times
are warned against looking In
tbe end of a loaded gun barrel,
walking across tbe square blind
folded, and calling otber men's
wives over tbe telephone Fri
day of this week.
It's the thirteenth, and there
are plenty of people who will
tell anyone, anywhere, that Fri
day, the ISth la a bad luck day.
It will be a disappointing day
for any person to try to collect
a bill in The Times office on
that date, try to sell the office
any oil stock or get the "old
man" to sign a petition for a Hk
ker store election.
Wise course to pursue on Fri
day, the 13th, Is to go about
business as usual.

6IVE A DIMS
WEAR A BUTTON
One ordinarily thinks of the Presi
dent’s Ball as a social affair honoring
the president In the past years and
in the beginning that was Its purpose.
The funds received from these baHs
were given to the Warm Springs Foun
dation for the treatment for infantile
paralysis victims; but that was secon
dary.
Dr. Arthur Carpenter who Is acting
as regional director aiding In the drive
for funds to work with Infantile para
lysis sufferers declared in Asheville
last Monday that within a few years In
all probability the campaign would be
connected In no way with a social cele
bration of the president's birthday. He
told how out of the Birthday Ball Idea
came the awareness of a great public
Interest In the cure and care of such
sufferers. This public Interest Is to
find Its outlet in a campaign each year
for funds.
Already the conception of the use
of such funds Is expanding. Whereas
funds at first were used entirely at
Warm Springs, the program has broad
ened. Fifty per cent of the funds real
ized will be retained in the local com
| munlty for the relief of convalescing
sufferers, clinics or other local uses.
Of the fifty per cent that goes to the
National Foundation a part of It will
be used for research. Very little Is
known about the disease at present
Out of grants made from this fund the
best medical talent in the country can
be put to work seeking the cause and
cure of the disease. In addition to this
research, a considerable amount of the
money sent to the national foundation
will be devoted to education of the
public In safeguards that may be taken
to prevent catching the disease. Then
too. the National Foundation Is to have
organized an emergency mobile unit
of doctors and nurses ready to move
Into any area of the United States that
might find Itself suddenly stricken with
an epidemic. These doctors and nurses
would offer their services to augment
the services of the local doctors and
nurses. Just as the Red Cross sends
emergency workers Into stricken areas
In time of storm and disaster; so this
mobile unit would move Into action in
time of an Infantile epidemic.
A committee headed by Harold Kil
patrick will soon begin work on plans
for the campaign in Transylvania
county.' It Is hoped that this worthy
cause will have the support of every
citizen of the country.—(Contributed).

UMBER PROTECTION
STRESSED_BY AGENT
Cash Crop May Ba Realized
From Forest If Fires
Are Kept Out
A. Ota—nor, County Atm%t)
Dm oM adage, “A dollar eaved la a
dollar made," can certainly be applied
to our woodland*. Aa a good farmer
you are lntereatad In aavlng a little
money for a rainy day and at tbe same
time lntereatad In Inoreaalng your cash
Income. Quite a number of oar farm
an have been increasing their Income
through the proper management of
their woodlands. However, we feel
that a great deal of money which
should be coming In to Transylvania
County farmers has been going up in
smoke. By this we mean that If woods
fires were stopped In this county that
we would greatly increase the Income
from our woodlands.
Woodlands of this county are not
fully stocked due to the woods fires
which have been occurring each year.
I feel sure that If you will walk through
some of the woodlands In this county
you will see that more trees could
easily be grown. The more trees there
are. up to a limit determined by the
fertility of the soil and the size and
spacing, the more timber Is produced.
A stand of 100 crop trees on an acre
will yield considerably more than a
crop of 100 trees. With woods fires
kept to a minimum of 'our county we
feel that we would secure well stocked
stands of young timber which would
Increase t,he ultimate yield per acre con
siderably. Where fires have been kept
down you will notice well stocked
stands of timber.
When an acre of cotton or corn Is
destroyed before you harvest It, you
Immediately figure the loss to you In
terms of dollars and cents, as the loss
would be estimated by the expected
yield. The same is true of your wood
lands, every time fires go over your
woodlands you lose money. Woods
fires destroy young trees, Injure mer
chantable timber, rob the soil of humus
and destroy food of birds and other
wild life. Prevent woods fires, Increase
your Income, and "Save that Dollar”
through Increasing the growth of your
timber. Growing timber Is a bank ac
count which can be added to each
year with but very little outlay by the
owner.
"Fire-breaks" cutting the farm woods
Into smaller blocks afford a good, prac
tical means of protean# the woods
on an Individual farm. A “fire-break”
can serve a dual purpose—fire pro
tection—and when raked—give leaf lit
ter for farm use. We would like to
help you start such a protection sys
tem on your farm.

Electric Chair Doomed
The electric chair bid* fair to come
back Into use as the death-dealer for
North Carolina, according to consensu*
of opinion expressed among legislators
who have been contacted during the
first week of the 1989 session. How
ever, a general poll has not been made,
and the question will remain In doubt
until It ha* passed both houses.
Probability of the absentee voters
law being completely abolished Is only
a glimmer at present. A large school
of representatives have openly ex
pressed their opinion that the law
should be re-written, and safeguards
thrown up around Its operation to pre

of the opinion that the law will remain
on the books In some form after the
1989 session has ended.
Kimeev Named
Representative Pat Klmzey of Tran

committees, namely—finance. Judiciary
No. 2, elections and election laws, banks

General opinion here Is to the ef

the lawmakers feel that a good start
