PAGE SIX THE FHANKUN PRES! -Mn THE HIGHLANDS MACONl^ THURSDAY Public Hunt Announced For Pisgali Game Refuge ASHEVILLE, Oct. 14.—The third public deer hunt on the Pisgah national game preserve has been announced by H. E. Ochsner, sup ervisor of the Pisgah national for est, to be held in November and December. The hunt, which will be confined to bucks, will be conducted over the entire 85,000 acres of the j)reserve, and 1,700 s])ortsmen, chos en by lot, will be invited to take part in the removal of surplus deer stock from this area, much of which has .never been previously o])ened to hunting. The announced hunt is the out come of painstaking research which revealed that the preserve is heavily overstocked and that the welfare of the herd demands reduc tion to prevent disease and starva tion. A distinct “deer line” is in evidence, and severe losses are an- lici])ated next winter .unless the herd is reduced. The general public is therefore to be given an oppor tunity to harvest the surplus crop. The Pisgah national game pre serve has been under the adminis tration of the U. S. forest service for the past 22 years. The magni- ficient deer herd which now ex ists on the area is the result of faithful protection and careful man agement in accordance with the established policy of the forest service to manage the national for est, not only to produce timber and protect watersheds, but for other benefits to the public, such as himting, fishing, and recreation which are developed under multiple use plans. The forest service anticipates that applications for hunting privileges will be far in excess of the 1,700 hunters who will be allowed. All applications will therefore be turn ed over to the Asheville chamber of commerce for a, public drawing of the hunters. Applications must be made in writing to the Forest Supervisor, U. S. Forest Service, Arcade Build ing, Asheville, N. C., on or before October 24, 1936. A person may apply either for the privilege of hunting three days on a regular accessible area, or five days on the wilderness, area, but the forest service can not guar antee that selected hunters will be allowed on areas for which they have indicated a preference. Each applicant must agree to de posit five dollars in a cooperative fund which shall be used for the development and research work connected with managing the wild life on the Pisgah forest. North Carolina Leads In Vegetable Growing North Carolina leads all other states in the value of garden veg etables grown for home use. That is the conclusion reached by M. E. Gardner, extension horti culturist at State college, after studying figures recently released by the bureau of the census, U, S. department of agrioul-ture. The figures did not cover Irish and sweet potatoes, but they in cluded the other principal vege tables grown in American gardens. Mississippi stood next to North Carolina, and Tennessee ranked third. The value of North Carolina’s crop of vegetabl'CS grown for home use was placed at $9,631,000. Th® Mississippi and Tennessee valua tions were between eight and nine million dollars. In 1935, North Carolina farmers also raised 95,684 acres of garden vegetables for sale, not counting Irish and sweet potatoes, Gardner o.bserved. This acreage was divided thus; Beans, 22,009 acres; caibbage., 8,518 acres; sweet corn, 9,619 acres; to matoes, 5,420 .acres; watermelons, 20,240 acres, and other vegetables e.xcept potatoes 29,878 acres. Gardner pointed out that the in creased production and consumption of garden vegetables over the na tion indicates a change in the diet ary habits of the American people. The greater consumption of gard en vegetables is not only conductive to better health, he added, but if is also providing many families with another welcome source of cash income.

This is because many people neglect proper bathing and are exposed to radical changes of temperature on the surface of the body. To rush out into the cool air while perspir ing even the least bit will aggra vate skin troubles or bring them on. To working men in shops or the indiscreet in farm houS'CS this article will be timely. Eczema is by far the most com mon skin disease. It may develop on anv part of the human being whether protected by clothing or not. It is not contagious—and may become a chronic disease if neg lected. Its chief symptom is itching or burning. Excessive “scratching which seems imperative may arouse moisture, even bleeding. Rarely does eczema scale or peel off. Yo.u should consult your physician if you get a persistent skin trouble that you don’t understand. My advice must be general though correct. Remove every source of irritation if you have eczema. You will not recover with the best medicines if you do not.

Watson, 'Extension horticul turist at State college. They are sensitive to cold .and will be damaged by frosty weather, he stated. Cold-damaged potatoes will not keep as well as those which are protected. ilf an. unexpected frost should kill the vines, he added, cut them off and dig the potatoes at once. Watson also urged growers to be careful not to bruise or cut the potatoes in digging, hauling, or storing. Blemishes decrease their market value and increase their susceptibility to disease. ALL GLASS BUILDING NEW YORK.—An all-glass office building, five stories tall, is to be . erected on Fifth avenue. Walled in behind glass tiles, through which ■ no one can see, occupants will re ceive 78 per cent of the outdoor light but will be unable to see out doors. Air-conditioning will replace ordinary means of ventilatio,n and the building will have no windows. The frame work is to be of steel, with corners and top of Indiana limestone.
