MANLEY Soil Conservation Service A farmer, especially a small farmer, has - to make erery *acre produce to have a good income. There are thousands of acres of brushland in Warren County that are producing very little. Many farmers in the county neglect their woodland and receive very little Income from them. On the other hand, many farmers in Warren Coun ty farm and manage their wood land as carefully as they do their cropland and receive good profits in return. The conversion of low quality brushland to high quality lob lolly pine is an Important prac tice. This practice Is usually referred to as woodland site preparation. Most of this site preparation follows a definite pattern. First, ^merchantable trees are harvested. Second, the area is disked or a rolling chopper is used. Third, the area may or may not be burned over under the supervision of the N. C. Forpst Service. Fourth, the young trees (usually loblolly pine) are planted. Loblolly pine Is the main tree which Is managed in Warren County. But landowners are always encouraged to manage hardwood stands where con ditions Justify. Whether you have hardwood or pines, there is always a decision which has to be made. You might have a poor stand and need to clear cut and start over. You might need to thin and manage what you have. The best way to get started on your woodland is to plan your work. Assistance in planning what is best for your woodland is available thru your local Warren County Soil Con servation District. Timber has a great future but it must be planned for far in advance. Now, Mr. Farmer, is the time to convert that brush land to growing timber.

As the score would In dicate, defensive efforts domi nated the game. Stoneville's only sustained drive of the first half was ended with Kent Whltmore's interception of a pass at the Norlina 35. The Waves, how ever, also failed in their at tempts to score: Jackie Walker s Injury during a prac tice scrimmage caused him to be hospitalized, and Nor lina s running (tame was seriously handicapped because of this. One drive ended with a fumble on the Stoneville 23. Another Norlina effort began at the Waves' 39 yard line late In the second period. Weldon | Rooker's carry for 18 yards put the ball on the opponent's 40; a personal foul cost the Eagles another 15 yards, and Whitmore ground out another 9 yards to the Stoneville 16. Red dogging efforts forced White to throw on the run, connecting with Gary Egerton at the 4. Unfortunately for the home team, only 1 second remained to be played to the first half, and time expired before the ball could be snapped. The only score In the ball game came early in the fourth quarter. The Eagles began a drive from their 20 and carried to the Norlina 15 before failing to gain a 1st down. The Waves Aim bled on the 25, however, and from here the Eagles' Dar rell Watkins connected with Bruce Ferris at the 9. Ricky Hancock took the !-andoff and plunged in for the tally; the kicking attempt was good for the PAT, and Stoneville held on a 7-0 edge. Norllna's Dennis Norwood returned the klckoff to the 30, and White completed a 30-yard aerial to Brantley at the Eag les' 40.
