Forest Fire Prevention Important To Conservation My BOY H. BECK Soil Conservation Service Forest Are prevention on the 60,000 a ores of farm woodlands In Haywood County is of great im portance in our conservation pro gram. At a forest fire conference in Raleigh last Wednesday Gov ernor Hodges point'.d out that for est fires cost North Carolina $35. 000.000 last year. Yet fires are only a part of the problem. In our moun tain hardwood farm forests, fire prevention, control of grazing, and proper management would, in a few short years, double farm in come from woodlands. Well over half of the farm wood lands in Haywood County are graz ed by cattle. Cows and sheep browse through the woods, biting off tender hardwood shoots. They seem to prefer small seedlings, thereby preventing oaks, poplars, maples and other valuable species from reproducing by seed. So the farmer winds up with a stand of less valuable sprout trees. B. F Nesbitt of Crablree is mak ing jtffekintiug of multil'lora rose this between his pasture and woodlands. In four or five years these rases will grow into ? live stock tight fence that v. ill keep his cattle out of the wood?. This will be an inexpensive way to fence woodlands. The rose planting stock is furnished to district cooperators Uj .tbe N. C. State Wildlife Com mission. Two other district cooperaiors. T. J. Mauney of West Pigeon, and Jess Price of Panther Creek, got multiflora rose seedlings last week for contour fencing between. Her schejl Rogers of Upper Crabtree installed field drain tile in an open ditch that divided his bottom land into two fields. Several- old log ditches were crossed where a 140 foot lateral was installed into a wet area off to the side of the main ditch. Mr. Rogers, who served three years as chairman of the Board of Soil Supervisors, reports satisfactory drainage by the tile. Sometimes when we find a farm product that grows well, we tend to put all our eggs into one bas ket. This seems to be the case with planted forest trees in Hay wood County. Every one wants white pine because they grow so well. With the ever-present danger of white pine blister rust and oth- ? tr diseases and insects, it would | seem wise to be planting more " than one kind of pine tree. Farmers, cooperating with their ^ Soil Conservation Districts, are making trial plantings of other sl pines to see if their range includes areas of Western North Carolina Farmers in seven counties have . just completed planting one acre ? plots of Red Pine in seven dif ferent counties. Carlyle Davis made p the Haywood planting on his farm t* at Riverside. Another pine we h< know that does well on south p slopes below 3,000 feet elevation p is shortleaf pine. Seedings of short leaf pine can be'purchased from oi the State Forest Service. T A farm is as big as its power to ti ' produce.

(International Radiophoto) 'Farm - City Week' Calls For 'Partners In Progress' Calling attention to the national observance of Farm - City Week. November 16-22. C. B. Ratchford. assistant director of the North Carolina Extension Service, says: "There is a great need for better understanding between farm and city people." The slogan for this second na tional observance is "Farm and City?Partners in Progress." Last year, practically every coun ty in the United States arid many communities in Canada observed this special week which serves to remind people of their dependence on one another. "After all." says Ratchford, "the city dweller de pends upon the farmer for the first necessity of life?food. And the farmer depends upon business and industry for necessary supplies sdeh as fertilizer and for a mar ket for his product." Farm-City Week, 1955. received the prized Distinguished Service Award of the Freedom Foundation, the top award in the field of com munity service offered in. the na tion. Again, as last year, the ob servance is being coordinated by Kiwanis International Ratchford believes that the farm er has many unique problems be cause of his dependence upon na ture and weather. This in turn, he adds, points to a need for better . understanding and communication between the producer on the farm and the consumer in the city. "Farm-City Week can bp a valu able means of bringing about a better understanding and appreci ation of the role of both producer and consumer in our national life." states Ratchford.
