Yarbrough and W. R. Barbour, of Atlanta, Ga., were in Macon county last week in terviewing farm woodland own- ' ers as to an estimate of the chestnut extract wood produc tion in Macon county. Farm woodland owners in this county are being urged by the Government to increase produc tion of chestnut extract wood ! in an effort to meet the mount ing demand for tannin to proc ess leather for military uses. Tannin has been placed on the critical materials list of the Army and Navy Munitions Board, as its use is absolutely necessary in production of leather for shoes, gun scab bards, harness and many other military items. Extract companies point out that imports of tanning mate rials ceased near the beginning Of the war and that blight Killed chestnut trees are now the most Important raw mate rial for tannin. Further, no practical substitute for vege table tannin has been develop ed for tanning leather for shoe soles, and the demand for this use in war is stupendous. Most of the nation's chest nut wood is centered in the Southern Appalachians. During the continued winter rains many large timber operations in remote mountain areas have been forced to shut down. Un able to transport timber from these operations, extract plants are appealing to farmers to get out all the extract wood they can produce to help meet the war supply emergency. Cutting and hauling wood during the weeks before spring plowing gives the farmers the opportunity to earn extra cash through his own labor, use of his team, truck or tractor, and the sale of dead chestnut trees that in time would become too rotten for marketing. General specifications for marketing extract wood call for sticks to be cut to 60-inch lengths and measured in 160 cubic foot units. Sticks between 4 and 6 Inches diameter at the small end should not be split; from 6 to 10 inches they should be Jialved, and above that di ameter they should be quarter ed or split to comparable sl2e. The wood must not be rotten. Full information on market ing extract wood can be ob tained by fanners and other woods workers through forestry representatives of the U. S Forest Service, the State Divi sion of Forestry, Extension For esters and County Agents. Farmers are advised to be as sured of a buyer before har vesting any forest products for the market and to obtain spe cifications from the purchaser. Mrs. Edgar Krug has return ed from a four weeks' visit in Osprey, Fla., where she was the guest of her sister, Mrs. Har old Childs. Mr. and Mrs. John C. Blan chard, who spent the winter at their cottage in Pomona, Fla.. are expected to return this week to "Snug Harbor", their home in Blanchard Court. First Lieutenant James N. Penland writes his wife, Mrs. Mozelle Penland, that he is re cuperating in a French hospital from slight wounds received in action in Germany on March 8. Mr. Alec Edwards has return ed to his home In Horse Cove after spending several months as a patient in the Angel hos pital In Franklin. PRESS ADS PAY Apply Needed Lime Bui Not Too Much "Get all the lime you need, but need all you use," is a slogan adopted for North Car olina farmers by the agronomy specialists of the Extension Service at State College. In the "Agronomy Sugges tions for February" there are three drawings which show wry lime is applied to acid soils, how the proper amount of lime benefits the plant, and how too much lime may cause crop losses. Where lime is not applied on acid soils, iron and aluminum go into solution and they keep the plant from getting suffi cient phosphate, the agrono mists explain. Where the proper amount of lime is added to a soil, soil acids are neutralized, and cal cium and magnesium are sup plied the plant. Also, phssphaie applied in fertiliberg can be fully used by the plant. Where too much lime is add ed, diseases may become worse and some plants may die. Also, such plant foods as manganese, boron, and iron cannot be used by the plant. "Unless you have had a soil test made, do not apply more than one ton of lime per acre," say the agronomists. Free soils tests may be ob tained and growers can get help from the county agents and vocational agricultural teachers in taking soil samples and preparing them for ship ment. Lime requirements for the various crops differ and, therefore, the grower should consider the rotation he Is fol lowing In determining just how much lime to apply to a par ticular field. In the "good old days" they watered the milk; today they water the cow at an automatic drinking fountain. JOIN Bryant Mutual Burial Association ? Oldest ?nd Strongest in tH?

They are the most concentrated form of energy bearing foods, and Indispensible raw materials for many wartime processes. After cooking fat has no further food use. government asks housewives to salvage every drop so that industry will have adeq?">e fats and oils from which to make medicine, muni tions, soaps, paints, varnishes, synthetic rubber, and hundreds of other wartime necessities, r Good Care Of Bees Will Triple Honey Get ready for the transfer of bees from old fashioned box and log gums to modern hives <tl the beginning of the first important early spring honey flow, says Prof. O. Stevens of the Zoology Department at State College. He explains that one good colony is worth more than a hall dozen mediocre colonies. One may get a start in bees either by buying complete col onies pr by obtaining bees and placing them in modern hives. Swarms may be obtained in one of three ways, according to Stevens. Packages of bees may be gought from reliable bee raisers. Second, swarms may be obtained during the swarming season from olhei nearby beekeepers. Third, bees may be transferred from old fashioned gums to modern hives. Steverig Cite* several advan tages of the modern hive: with removable frames, it is possible to make sure that enough hon ey is left for the bees; tct lind old queens and replace them with vigorous queens; to regu late the brood chamber so as to produce more worker bees and fewer drones; to control swarming more effectively; and to take off surplus honey with out the messy job of cutting it out. With better management of bees, North Carolina should easily produce three times as much honey as at present, ac cording to Stevens. Practical suggestions on improved bee keeping may be found in Ex tension Circular No. 274. A free copy of this publication may be obtained at the office oi the county agent or by writing the Agricultural Editor, State Col lege, Raleigh^ Smoky Mountain District Hold Court of Honor One of the largest Boy Scout meetings held in Franklin re cently was that of the Smoky Mountain District Court of Honor held in the basement of the Franklin Methodist church, With John F.
