f ME mUKLM PftlSd m f ME HIGHLANDS MAC0N1AN THURSDAY NOVEMBER U3 Forest Official Praises Public For Fire Record Macon Boy In Golden Chain 1ACETW0 r,- Supervisor Charles Mclichar, of the Nantahala national forest, with headquarters at Franklin, handed John Public a ntce bouquet today when he attributed the low number of forest fires during the nine months of the calendar year to the "special cooperation of the public in general toward safeguarding the forest against fires." Despite the drought of the last several months, the total number of fires in the forest, for the first three quarters of 1938 was only 16, which is the identical number of fires had last year for the corre sponding period. And last year was outstanding for having very few fires. So .another fire record is . in sight for the people on the Nanta hala if they continue their care with fire. This fall fire season has had three small fires, one caused by hunters smoking out game in Ma con county and two in Graham county caused by a logging railroad and by a smoker. Mr. Melichar paid special tribute to farmers living in side the forest boundaries, who, he said, have voluntarily given their services in reporting fires discover ed in the vicinities of thcr homes. Also they have been good about complying with the state laws that require a man to get a permit -before burning off new ground and sending up a ,smoke that will cause the lookouts to report a fire and dispatch ia crew to a false alarm. The small number of fires caused by brush burners who failed to make their fire safe indicates that most farmers know how to control fire and want to abide by the law. . Fire Prevention Study. Completed This month marks, the completion of the Nanbahala's fire prevention study, Air. Melichar pointed out. The Chief in Washington has asked each of the 150 National forests to make a complete fire plan study and this prevention phase is the first step. It includes a study of the best location for the 50 new fire poster sign boards now erected along the roads in accordance with this -plan .-Also it. insures- ha t-eaclv of the 158 schools within the forest will be visited by our moving pic ture outfits sometime during the year, if funds ' permit.

When this large number is compared to the five-year average of 36 fires per year, it indicates splendid record for the Nantahala people and the tourists in their care with fire. . The records show that last year our forces, worked with the state men in suppressing 26 fires which threatened government land. This working together of state and fed eral men in suppressing ires has been the result of a sound policy of cooperation. An equally coopera tive spirit has, been found with the local justice of peace courts, where the state laws regarding brush burning permits and fire in the woods have been upheld, due to well informed magistrates who are convinced that scorched and killed trees benefit no one and actually injure a community from a tourist and timber viewpoint, i Oxford Orphanage Asks Thanksgiving Offering The proud boast of the Masons in North Carolina is the fact that for 65 years they have answered the cry of needy children and main tained the Oxford Orphanage as a home for the care and training of these children. Nearly six thousand North Carolina boys and girls have received this service. It is the old est Orphanage in North Carolina and represents today a large invest ment in buildings, grounds, equip ment, and endowment. The Grand Lodge of North Carolixia makes an annual appropriation for the sup port of these children and in ad dition the subordinate lodges sup port the, Orphanage through the concerts of the singing class and by special gifts at the Thanksgiv ing season. Fifty per cent of the children in the Oxford Orphanage are not of Masonic parentage. The state of North Carolina also makes an annual appropriation to assist in th'e support ' of the" Oxford Orphan age. North Carolina is justly proud of the Oxford Orphanage. It repre sents an investment in the needy youth of our own state and pays dividends in character, healthy bodies, trained minds and hands, in that continuing number of young men and women who annually take their places in the rank and file of the citizenship, of the Old North State. The time and money invest ed is a saving as no one can tell what would become of these chil dren without the Oxford Orphan age. An appeal is. made to the general public at each Thanksgiving, season to assist in this task of reclaiming the childiren of North Garolina. State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. How long must a hog be kept from feed before killing? . A. Do not give the animals any feed at all for 24 hours before killing, but they should have plenty ot water at all times. It is easier to get a good bleed when the system is not gorged with food and the meat always cures better when the small blood vessels are free from food particles and blood. The animals should not be excited or over-heated before killing as, this produces a feverish condition and causes the meat to sour while in cure. Q. Is it too late to cut lespedeza for seed? A.. No. The Common, Tennessee 7, and Kobe varieties mav be cut just after the first bard frost, but the Korean variety should be cut as soon after October 1 as possible. Atter cutting, the Korean is left in is KsLJ RALEIGH, Nov. 2. Highest tanking honorary sochty at State college is Golden Chain, which limits its membership each year to 12 outstanding seniors.

Seed from all other varieties are harvested with a seed pan attached to the mowing machine. While lespedeza straw is very valuable as a rough age, it should be left on the land for soil improvement where pos sible. Q. What is the best substitute for green feed for the poultry flock where grazing is not available ? A. Alfalfa hay, lespedeza, and clover hay make good greens, for winter use provided they are so cured as to retain their green color. Alfalfa leaf meal, if a bright green color, makes a satisfactory green feed, but should not consti tute more , than 10 per cent-of the mash. Where the hays are used, they should be fed in racks as the birds will eat only the leaves, and the stems can then be thrown in the litter. Of the feed men tioned, green alfalfa hay is the most satisfactory.
