W VA, Mountain Climbing Grows Popular In. W. N. C. (From News and Observer) . To promote close relationships with venturesome mountain climb ers and other getting thrills' from hazardous pursuits in the Great Smoky Mountain, - and other na tional parks, Secretary of the. In: terior Harold L. Ickes has ap proved recommendations made by National Park Service Director Arno B. Cammerer. for , their safety. Calling attention to the fact that mountain climbing in the Great Smoky Mountains and other ranges is increasing, Director Cammerer declared that in general it would be inadvisable to impose restric tions as most climbing and other hazardous pursuits are performed outside the range of effective con trol. However, under the plan, superintendents in the mountain ous national parks would maintain closer, relationships with climbers and mountaineering clubs and co operate in making mountain climb ing safe and enjoyable. Persons wishing to engage in climbing or related ' hazardous ven tures will be encouraged to regis ter voluntarily with the park sup erintendent both before and after each venture. To stimulate inter est in registration, an official rec ord of . certificate of accomplish ment would be made available to those giving proof of, their feat, a practice long in effect at Mount Rainier, Wash. Registration would be limited to these questions: name, address, age, experience, equipment and supplies, member ship in mountaineering clubs, plan of route, leaving and returning date and time. : . The park ranger assigned by the superintendent for the purpose would discuss with the would-be climbers' the wisdom of the pro posedclimb. Director Cammerer declared he believed more persons would be dissuaded from under taking ventures for which they are not prepared, through friendly discussion, than would be possible by prohibitory regulations. Anoth er advantage to the climber, it was pointed out, would be the as surance that a rescue party would be sent in the right direction in the event of a mishap. The National Park. Service also will make arrangements whereby climbers and mountaineering clubs may obtain advice from the gang ers on actual conditions, the best routes from various standpoints, possible dangers,, climbing tech niques, and the manner in which prospective climbers must rSbtect themselves while attempting haz ardous ventures. It is emphasized that -this plan of operation is for the purpose of promoting public safety while at the, same time attempting to satis fy the reasonable desires of qua! ified climbers, and to discourage the foolhardy.

What are the requirements to participate in the AAA garden benefits ? : ' A. The garden shall consist of not less than one-tenth of an acre for each person in the family and all should be planted as one unit. However, not more than one acre will be. required for any one fam ily. On this plot, a minimum of 10 different kinds of vegetables must be produced during the year. In addition to the acreage and vegetables produced, the garden must be adequately protected from poultry and livestock. It is rec ommended that three or more kinds of vegetables be grown in each month for at least eight months and that not more than one-fourth of the garden be plant ed to any one vegetable at any one time. ' ; Q., How much skim milk may be substituted for other ingredients in poultry feeds? A. Skim milk, clabber, or but termilk may be substituted for all dried milk products, one-half of the fish meal, and one-half of the meat meal recommended for the poultry ration. When the, sub stitution is made for these amounts, three gallons of the skim milk or other products should be fed per day to each 100 hens. The suc cess of these substitutions will de pend upon the regularity with which the milk is fed. Unless there is an ample supply available at all times no substitutions should be made. i Anglers Lured to W. N. C. By Opening Of Streams Ancrlorc frnm manv nartS of the United States have been attracted to western North Carolina during the past fortnight by the opening of trout streams throughout this section on April 15. Streams which have been stocked with brook and rainbow trout to the number of a million and a half fish per year, are rapidly becoming objectives for anglers from ,many states. The clear, mountain trout streams pro vide an ideal home for brown, rainbow and brook trout and the scenic beauty of this section lends an added attraction for the ang ling visitor. i Orchards Are Robbed By Vegetative Growth Robbers! Thieves! that is what H. R. Uiswonger.-horticulturist of the State college extension serv ice, calls weeds, grass, and other, vegetative growth left iri the orch ard during the summer months. He explains that such plants take from the orchard trees much-need ed moisture. "Now is the time , to begin the conservation of soil moisture by .suppressing all vegetative growth in the orchard," Niswonger said, "especially that part over the root area. It has been estimated, he stat ed, that the loss of Water from bearing trees of an acre of orch ard amounts to 20 barrels daily from June to September. This can be attributed to leaf surface where moisture is lost and to the devel oping fruit, , which, when matured, contains about 85 per cent mois ture. "Cultivating the ground as early as possible and continuing such cultivation until late in the sum mer will aid in the conservation of moisture and make more avail able the nitrogen supply", the hor ticulturist declared. "When' the orchard is located on land sub ject to severe soil erosion, it is advisable to cultivate every other middle and reverse the -practice the next year. "Many orchards are locaicu w.. sites where cultivation can not be practiced. In this case, all weeds and grass growth should be cut ,i j tn mm'iiti over trequentiy anu iai i" - the tree foot ' area. If left to grow and form seeds, these crops rob the fruit trees of moisture and nitrogen." Niswonger also recommended that each tree be fertilized with mineral nitrates about a month after the fruit has set, since next year's crop depends upon the nitrogen and moisture supply.

You use the same plows, har rows, and cultivators You can guess the reason for the difference. Yes, one crop was properly fertilized, the other unfertilized. Your profits come from making the soil produce the maximum of quality crops. You are working for these profits so why not get them? Armour's BIG CROP Fertilizers work for profits. They are made from the highest quality plant food and come to you in concentrated form. You are not paying for any useless bulky filler. We can help you in deciding the analysis which is best suited to your needs. Let's talk it over. Farmers Federation Palmer Street Franklin, N. C. Armour's BIG CROP drills Housecleaning Hints Given By Home Agent Spring housecleaning is a duty facing homemakers at this time of the year, and Miss Current, state, home demonstration agent of the agricultural extension serv ice, has several suggestions to make" the job easier. ,In the first place, she says housecleaning should be organized. Just one room at a time and the job well done is her advice. Then she offers the following hints : Window cleaning may be well done by using paper instead of a cloth. Choose soft paper that does not lint. Various cleaning prepa rations may be used with either paper or cloth. Clear water with a few drops of ammonia, or clear water with about one tablespoon of washing soda dissolved in the pail make efficient ' cleansers. On very cold days the cloth may be moistened with alcohol or good kerosene. Windows should be cleaned when the sun is not shin ing on them directly, as it causes uneven evaporation of the cleanser and gives a streaked surface. For cleaning of varnished or oiled woodwork, the following mix ture is good : One quart of hot water, three tablespoons of boiled linseed oil, and one tablespoon of turpentine. Wash the woodwork with a soft cloth wrung out in this mixture, kept warm by set ting over hot water. Do not heat directly on the stove because the turpentine is inflammable. Polish the woodwork dry with a second Aoih. Discard the mixture as ' it becomes soiled and mix a fresh supply. Give upholstered furniture good sun bath at least twice year. This will prevent moths, especially if the upholstery is kept tree ot dust or frequent brushing. LEGAL ADVERTISING ADMINISTRATOR'S C T. A. NOTICE Having qualified as administrator C. T.
