Cunningham & Company "THE SHOP OF QUALITY" Thousands of acres of cut-over timber land in the Nantahala Na tional Forest have been treated, since the organization of the CCC Camps, to improve the quality of timber on this land. Logging, as it has been practiced in the past, has brought about a great change in the forests. The natural forest was made up of many tree species, both good and bad. The lumberman cut out most of the good trees arid left those which had no market value. Fire frequently followed the logging so that most of the few remaining good trees of small size were either killed or damaged. Since most of the good trees of seed bearing size had been cut and all of the large trees without market value had been left, the result was the land seeded in young trees of inferior species which had no mar ket value. The percentage of in ferior species in the young forest was therefore much greater than it had been in the original stand. Chances for the development of the relatively few small desirable trees were further lessened by the increased crown spread of the large undesirables which had been suddenly released through logging. Like Neglected Garden The situation in the cut-over hardwood forests is very similar to a neglected garden. Unless the vegetable plants are kept free of weeds, they will be either choked out or the yield will be exceeding ly small- There is, however, one decided difference between garden ing and timber stand improvement; in a garden all weeds are removed from time to time while in the forest, weeds in their proper place are desirable. A tally made of all timber stand improvement work in the Nanta hala National Forest shows that from three to five hundred trees are released to grow in an acre. This requires the cutting of from twenty to forty of the so called weed trees and vine. The improvement crews inten tionally leave many trees of poor form or condition where they are the principal source of game food or shelter. Along stream banks, no trees are cut, regardless of their undesirability from a timber stand point, because of their higher val ue in stream protection. No attempt is made radically to change the natural conditions of the forest, the objective of this improvement work being to ameli crate the poor condition of the man-changed forests and restore them to their original productive state.

Mrs. Wiley Post, wife of the late world girdling flyer who crashed to his death with Will Rogers in Alaska, is expected to receive the $25,000 which Con gress voted should be paid for the plane ' ' Winnie Mae ' ' for the Smith sonian Institute. Also she will have a $250 per month annuity. j "Look West", says H. H. -4 GRAY VETERANS TO MEET SEPT. 6 Remnant of Confederate Army To Hold Reunion At Amarillo, Tex. AMARJ'LLO, TEXAS, Aug. 28. When the United Confederate Vet erans meet in Amarillo, Texas, September 3 to 6, for their 45th annual reunion, it may mark the closing of this once mighty organ ization composed of those warriors who followed the Stars and Bars in the War between the States. Recent years have taken a heavy toll of the once grey lines that followed Lee and Jackson of the Confederacy. Only a trace of those grey waves of Southern men re-, main. Many, of course, are too feeble to attend a reunion of their comrades. However, in spite of the great inroads which death is making in its ranks, General Harry Rene Lee, Nashville, Tenn., commanding the veterans, expects at least 1,000 members to meet in Amarillo, about 300 more than assembled at Chattanooga last year. , Amarillo came forward with an invitation only when it was evident the Confederate veterans would not have a place in which to hold their reunion this year. Other cities, having invited them, later failed to raise a sufficient sum to stage WASHINGTON . . ! "Look to the West for a Republican presidential candidate in 1936," Was the in formal suggestion made by former President Hoover to party leaders while on his trip East, it became known here this week. the affair. While entertaining the Confeder ate veterans will be a new exper ience for Amarillo, those attending are assured of every consideration and a full program of entertain ment. The United States Marine Band is being sent here for the four days. Many state delega tions are bringing official state and college bands. An old-fashioned western rodeo, featuring cowboys from Texas ranches, will be among the high lights of side attractions. All veterans and their attendants will be guests of the host city. Free meals and lodging are being made available in barracks, made possible with equipment borrowed from the United States Army, and in Amarillo homes. All railroads in the South and East have given special reduced rates for veterans and others at tending the reunion. Funeral Held for Mrs. Ervin Grant, 57 Funeral services for Mrs. Ervin Grant, 57, of Nantahala, were held last week at her home, the Rev. Bud Lee officiating. Mrs. Grant died Tuesday afternoon immediate ly following a heart attack. She is survived by her husband and nine children, Lester, of Need moore, Mrs. Ollie Wilson, Rich mond, and Clyde, all of High Point, Mrs. Edna Whitaker, of Salisbury, Mrs. Ella MacMahan, Thelma, and Howard, of Nantahala, and Mrs. May Williams, of High Rock.
