S. HOLMT2S State Forester. The Essay "All life is dependent of food, ?? all food comes originally from tn green o'.ant. Plants and ^imals re quire food for warmth, growt? and Movement; and therefore, they are connected directly or lnd*^.tly ' sifpplyini? one another with thu energy. The forest is the shelter and home of nature, and depends some what on its guest for dispersion of seeds, and the ridding it of , ra^ct pests. The bird is one of man a most helpful friends. It is also the f^esto most helpful friend, as it aids in both operations mentioned above i-arg damages are bestowed uponthetr^ annually, by insect pests. If it were not for our bird life, the forests would gradually decrease. The forest re turns its gratitude to these helpful friends, by furnishing a home and food for them. "The game fish of our state is one of its most treasured prizes Large rainbow and speckled trout take to the shaded area of deep pools. There thev swim about lazily, feeding on in sects and other natural foods that the forest furnishes for them. wh?n the real sportsman comes for fly nan Wgt it requires skill to yank these duties to the landing net. North "Carolina should be proud of its fine fisheries and the ftsh it produces. | i "But then this beautiful life is (ended by the coming of nature s most terrible enemy, the forest fire. It has probably been set by a careless cam ner or a tourist, or perhaps a tire Tiend is at large. At once the whole forest becomes a tumult of screaming animals and screeching birds. Some ot these animals and birds prove i?al heroes and try in a desperate manlier to flee, taking with them their babies. Some succeed but most of them die in the vain attempt. Bird nests arc burn ed, the eggs are baked that would later have become beneficial friends CO mankind. Animals and birds are surrounded by the fire that is quick. > forming their death cell. Torture and pain ? no human being knows bow the?e poor creatures suffer. Woodcock, and quail in a faithful attempt to protect their young and eggs are burned in the nest they have lived for and loved. If some people knew how heroic and faithful these friends ot man were to their families' arid loved ones, perhaps, they would have pity and try to protect these noble crea tures from such inhuman havoc. "Then after the fire has died down, one sees the pitiful effect it has caus ed. Dead deer and other forest life are found strewn about on the ground intermingled with broken branches of fallen trees. The sight is unutterably horrible, the picture ghastly. Many of the scenes are revolting; none ol them pleasant. In the fire-poisoned streams can be seen the fish that orice . basked in the green girdled pools, floating lifeless about among the burned" trees and trash. The Scene is pitiful to look upon. I "The starter of this series of mur- 1 Hers is probably unaware of the suf ferings he has caused. He is probably a booster of wild life and enjoys the fine arts of hunting and fishing; but has carelessly tossed a burning match or cigarette away to do more harm than he could have done in a lifetime of the real sportsman's hunting and fishing. , ' "Nature's home has been destroyed and ruined. Dam"'res have been in flicted to its hous ?.?''old. The forest no longer smells of the refreshing odor man, Mrs. E. H. Jones, Vice Chair man, Mrs. T. G. Miller, Secretary Treasurer. Chaplain ? Rev.

Name of the Executive Committee "Sisters of the Skillett." CITIZENS OF TRANSYLVANIA i COUNTY ? I am in position to do machine work, acetylene weld ing or most anything that the public demands at the Carr Lumber Company machine shop at Pisgah Forest where I have complete equipment for such needs that may be required. All work that you have will be looked after personally. W. A. LYDAY it oiice poured out for -mankind- to ! .rear he, but of a ghastly smell of burning wood and meat The sight of this ruiri should disgust anyone with cafelcssness. Nature is not only han dicapped by fire, but also by man. Sonie fiends hunt and fish out of season thus causing birth to be les . soned among the wild life in breeding j soasion,. ! "Natidnal and state forest reserves are protected by devoted TJtstipers. Firo lookouts are established, and game preservntoriea are tended' to. They 3ee to it that no trespassing is done in their areas. They fully pro tect the fish and game from intruders. The necessary work of restocking the fields ,and streams wif.b game is! also done by the rangers, X&ws have been f "nacle and enforced protecting wild ; life. -No hunting at night or from I airplanes and power boats is allowed. I Give the wild life a decent chance and j. watch its progress. \ "Animals and birds are partly de pended upon for the disyjersion of seed by the trees. To bo carried by animals, the adaptions may be of two kinds. Either they must have hor.ks to catch on, th,ey must be edible. The burdocjt arid.Jtteggar's tiik represent tfie firs? kind of adaption1 and the fleshy kind of wild fruits the second. In some cases only the fruit is eaten, and the seeds dropped; .and in other oases the se^ds and all are eaten, but is not acted tipon by the digestive tract and so are dropped far from the . spot where they grew, '"Most of our game birds are help ful, either to the forest or to the farmer. The damages they do are outrated by the good. They destroy harmful insects and bugs, thus aiding the farnior with his crop. "The game fish depend entirely on the food secured from the overhang ing vines, mosses, flying insects, and particles of plants, and worms at the bottom of the pool. They in turn rid the forest of insects that come near the water. After fish have been des troyed by a forest fire, it takes years to get it back to its former condition, days 9 re requited to clean it out and. restock. It will never be as beautiful as it was. So you see the damages a forest firs inflicts. "The forest serves as a shelter for wild life. It helps ward off the wind and rain. Deep in a thick forest, the animals and birds are just as com fortable as we in our, homes. So let everyone cooperate for their sake and prevent it from burning down. En courage the love of nature for it is a most precious thing. "The most effective moans to re plenish our woodlands and fields with fur-bearers, fish, and birds is to set aside areas where no hunting and fishing is allowed and where the natural enemies of fish and game are controlled. Here the fish and game live undisturbed, and rear their young' ;n peace, to replenish the surround-! ing region. The founding of these! refuges not only increase the fish and pame within the protected area, but! it spreads to the surrounding terri tory, thus improving hunting and fishing. The county game warden cares for and protects the refuges that are not large enough to be pri vately operated. "Forn^rly, man hunted only l'or food and clothing, but the pleasure and the recreational value of it draws him for the sport only. The forest gives man his home and furn ishings. Since the days of the cave men, it has afforded him food and shelter. So one sees that man has depended- upon nature to provide for him: then let every person cooperate in letting it provide for our wild life. May everyone contribute a part to the installation and founding of fish hatcheries and game refuges, and ob serve and lire up to the laws of nature, to bring it back to its natural self.

Some people? name expressed i;h? . opinion [ that we did rot have a strawberry climate yet Mr. Henderson and sc-M doea not fee' that way about it.

They have receatfy -bailt e we!i con structed, good aisedsfiak 'pond and ' have it stocked with Brook Trout. CRAVEN FARMERS ON PAY AS YOU GO BASIS Craven County farmers have start-! ed a pay-as-you-go system of fanning, this season in which they wedeavor te , pay cash for cl! farm operations and, have enough between season crvpa and i livestock or poultry to keep the farsni on a cash basis. The plan calls for strict economy and wise planning but; Craven farm ers have had expeijerae in economy , since the epidemic of bank failures! and other reverses have thrown them, largely on their own resources. The record of the Craven County Farm-, er's Mutual Exchange has already i been of inspiration to other groups of j landowners in North Carolina and the I formation of the new saving and loan \ association is another movement which is attracting attention. Checks for $89,128 have been re ceived by farmers of Pitt County from the government- seed loan fund. FARM QUESTIONS AND QUICK ANSWER Q. Is there any type or variety gf j tobacco that i3 immtine to blue mold? A. Wei. The disease was first dis- 1 covered in Australia end exhaustive i studieo .have been made for control but no Species has been reported that ' is immune or even resistant. The only ! remedy or control known to scientists 1 is spraying with- Bordeaux Mixture and this is recommended for all beds . showrfcg infection. Q. Can dahlias be grown success fully in all sections of North Caro lina? A. Yes ? but the climate of the mcuntascs and upper piedmoofc is more favorable. The disadvantage in; climate, however, can be largely off set by proper culture and mulching*, careful watering, and the selection ol varieties that are just easily burned by the hot sun or troablaa with leaf hop pers. Q. The milk from ay cow is ropy after it souk. Can you tell me the trouble and give me & remedy? A. A slimy or' ropy condition in milk is brought about by tho sfrowtti of bacteria and usually does not ap pear until 12 to 24 hours after ths milk is drawn. The bacteria may coma from the water ir. which the utensils were rinsed, from dtist in the barn at milking time, or occasionally from ati infected udder, it can be eliminated by the practice of good sanitary mess- j ures Which consist-, of milking. in a piece comparatively free from dust, cleaning the cow's rear flanks and udder with a damp cloth, and hand- j ling the milk in vesssels that have been thoroughly washed and steriliz-i ed. Lincoln County farmers are mixing their fertilizers at home .from mater ials purchased for ea3h. Good results were secured from this practice last season, they 3ay. Catawba County poultrymen report a profit from early broilers this sea son with the price ranging from 20 to 25 cents a pound. About 3,000 broHers will be sold this Week. To tobacco crop of Columbus coun ty will not exceed 56 per cent of the 1931 acreage as a result cf disease and insect attacks in the plant bed. The Bordeaux riixture seems to con trol the blue mold disease but stunts the plants, says Columbus farmers. FARMERS OF LIITII I RIVER MAKES FLAMS FOR SEASONS WORK (Continued, from, page we) movcoent. J, M. Goanell read a clever, witty reading entitled "Down on the Farm" which won a loud applause. Prof. J. JL Glaiener, chairman of Trfinsyivania county Farm movement, who organized the. Little ttmr asso ciation, delivered a short inspiring address in which, he stressed this theme" Do all that you are supposed to do and then same." Lewis P. Hamlin, speaker of the evening declared that, he thought tit tle River to be the best community in the Unitad States. Mr. Hamlin paid tribute to the work of Prof. Glas <ener who has worked so diligently in (he county to organise the 5-10 farm movement. He said that according to United States business statistics, Western North Carolina was the only section in the union to show an improvement of good business during the month of April. Following the address by Mr, Ham lin, the president of the organization called for reports from the chairmen of the working committees. Mr. Mc Call of the Welfare committee report ed that he had given out a large num ber of seeds to needy farms although the need was greater than the supsiy Mr. Martin Shipmar announced that the lime house at Penrose was complete and well stocked with lime and he urged all the farmers to get thefr needs in the nsar future." A meeting of the Public grounds committee was scheduled for Thurs day afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. A meet ing of the woman* farm, auxiliary will be held at the Little River Cljurch Friday afternoon May 20 and at the same time a meeting will be held at the school house for the men. The next mass meeting will be. held the first Friday in June when it is expected that Bruce Webb director of Promotion of Asheville will address the group. SEE "COOL KNIGHTS" May 19 and 20. .
