A BRITISH OFFICER STOPPED IN
RALEIGH TO SHOOT QUAIL
A few Sundays ago an article con
cerning Raleigh appeared in the
State papers. It was the retelling of
a one-man opinion which pictured
the capital city of North Carolina
long before it had become a real
center of population. That story of
Raleigh was rather critical and seem
ed designed to discourage the "small"
progress experienced in the early
days.
Other travelers recorded various
impressions of North Carolina's cap
ital; but a man-with-a-dog stopped
in Raleigh and was pleased by his
visit. This man. Francis Hall, a Brit
ish officer, visited the United States
soon after the war of 1812; and he
made no mention of the critical ob
servation of other travelers who dis
liked the idea of starting a new town
in a new location, far away from all
water transportation. He was neith
er bitter nor especially sympathetic,
but his comment was, "Raleigh is
the capital of North Carolina, and
seems a clean, little country town."
When Hall visited North Carolina,
the town named for Sir Walter Ral
eigh had been established only a
few years and had no other special
activity lu?promote growth other
than government business. The vis
itor observed one "principal, or ra
ther, only street" which connected
the "Governor's bnckhouse" and the
"senate, or courthouse " At that time
"the total want of limestone, and
scarcity of brick earth," rendered It
"extremely difficult and expensive
to give buildings any degree of sta
bility."
The stage coach's stop-over in Ral
eigh was a half day TTie British of
ficer had with him a prize bird dog.
When the stage coach stopped, his
pointer was the center of attention;
and the owner was immediately a
popular man. One gentleman fell in
love with the bird dog and was an
xious to test the visiting pointer to
see if his work was equal to his beau
ty
Soon after he had alighted at the
tavern, Hall, the man interested in
the hunting ability of his dog, and
another Raleigh citizen went forth
in search of quail. Francis Hall's last
note concerning the young capital of
North Carolina was a comment con
cerning the two friends he had met

Recommendations
Are Changed For
Tobacco Fertilizer
L T. Weeks, extension tobacco
specialist of N. C. State College, calls
attention to a change made in the
tobacco plant bed fertilizer recom
mendations for 1942 Growers are
now advised to use a 6-9-3 mixture,
instead of a 4-8-3 plant bed fertiliz
er which has been withdrawn from
the market.
"The change was made," Weeks
said, "to effect a savings for farm
ers and to produce better results
during the critical plant bed life of
a tobacco plant. Only one pound of
the 6-9-3 fertilizer will be needed
for each square yard of plant bed
space, whereas two pounds of 4-8-3
per square yard are required."
The extension worker said that
fertilizing materials are likely to be
scarce in 1942 and 1943, and the use
of the higher analysis mixture in
smaller quantities will be a step in
the-direction of meeting the emer
gencies of war.
| He said, however, that farmers
who are unable to obtain the 6-9-3
mixture may buy the 4-9-3 fertiliz
er. The 4-9-3 material should be ap
plied at the rate of two pounds per
square yard.
"Growers should be careful not to
use too much of the 6-9-3 fertilizer,"
Weeks warned. "If more than one
pound per square yard is applied
there is a possibility that the ger
mination of the seed will be very
low."
| The recommendations were chang
ed by the Tobacco Workers Confer
ence, comprising agronomists, to
bacco specialists, and research work
ers of the flue-cured tobacco-pro
ducing states. The conference con
tinued its recommendation that to
bacco plant bed fertilizers be free of
and with whom he had hunted, "if
any conclusion can be drawn from
two chance specimen, society at Ral
eigh is by no means in a pitiable con
dition."

Next Winter s Fuel
Wood Should Be
Cut Right \vvay
Transportation is going to be one
of the bottlenecks of the war pro
gram of the United Nations. R. W.
Graeber, extension forester of N. C.
State College, says farmers can help
to solve this problem by cutting their
next winter's fuel wood right now.
"You will be saving wood and
work by cutting your fuel supply
now," Graeber declared. "Tests re
veal that green wood has from 10 to
35 per cent less heating value than
wood cured nine months to a year.
Even wood seasoned under favorable
chlorines. It also urged that one
fourth of the nitrogen be derived
from nitrates, one-fourth from natur
al organics, and one-half from stan
dard inorganics.
conditions for only six months has 1
an advantage over wood freshly I
cut."
The forester said that the tie-up j
of railroads and other forms of trans
portation in hauling war materials
may mean difficulties in obtaining
coal and other types of fuel. There
fore. he said, the local market for
fuel wood should experience a
"boom."
In general, a cord of hickory, oak, I
beech, birch, hard maple, ash, elm.
locust, longleaf pine, or cherry is
equal in heat value to a ton of coal.
Species such as shortleaf pine, west
ern hemlock, red gum. sycamore and
soft maple require about one and a
half cords to equal a ton of coal in
fuel value. Two cords of cedar, pop
lar. cypress, basswood. spruce and
white pine are required to equal a
ton of coal.
Graeber said that farmers can cut
fuel wood by thinning their forests.
He warned against sacrificing po
tential saw timber to meet the rising
demand for stove and furnace wood.
