i ,CWJSSS,AI?, The Mountaineer's "TZT" 'There's Gold In Those Woodlands' "There's gold in those woodlots," says Jim Anderson. Extension I or estfy specialist at North Carolina ?tatc College. But Andersen point* out that it's not lying loose, it's in the form of opportunity. The thoughtful wood grower can ex change that opportunity for cash if he will, says Andersen The sources of increased income potential lie in the solution of throe forestry problems, states An dersen Although these problem* are nationwide deficiencies, Ander sen believes thiil North Carolina farmers could obtain more income from the -olution of these three forestry plagues than can bo ex pected from efforts in any other field of agriculture. First of II ? problems is the low level of management on farm wood lot- Andersen says "low" is often a high estimate, for In fact no management at all Is more com mon. But he points out that often all that must be invested to earn increased return from woodlots is ihought The utilization of more home grown products is a second way in which farmers can increase their real Income Andersen says cutting and treating fence posts, for ex ample, wilt keep dollars in the pockets ot the woodlot owner. By using his own timber, savings of from 30 to 40 rents per post can be realized A No, custom sawing is Incoming more common, and U is an increasing]) more attractive proposition for woodland owners. Depending on th.- condition of the timber stand and the wood products desired, saving- of $f> to $30 per thousand board feet of lumber can be made. Andersen state- that more effec tive u-e of off-season farm labor can also yield tremendous divi dends. iuibor alone, with no mech anized equipment, can more than [ double the return front a straight stumpage sale Pulpwood on the stump might bring $4 per cord, but dealers have paid $0 for the same products cut and -tackoil in the woods reports Andersejk . I'?r Mountaineer Want Ads. EXCELLENT LAND USE and good land treat ment, according to Knv Iteek, M>il conservationist for Haywood County, are shown here in the pan oramic view of the M. H. Kogers farm in I'ppcr . Crabtree community. "The farm Is a true water shed," Mr. Beck commented. (SCS Photo by T. W. Bridges). Many Haywood Count) hurley j tobacco producers have again found that hurley cut and stuck out in the field can !>;? sevcrly damaged by the weather, especially ratn. Several growers who were harv esting tobacco late took a chance, in the hope of speeding up curing, j and left the tobacco in the field af ter it w as cut Several days of I rain followed and much of this tp-j bacco was severely damaged. The ? opinion of most farmers is that the b'st method is to c ut the tobac co wilt, and place in the curing barn. The 4-H Club boy- and girls in Haywood Counts wo arc growing baby beef calves fur ltlhJ .are ex tremely Interested m the selection of outstanding animals. When they start their leveling program, they are looking forward to show dates in the county, district, and Eastern National livestock shows. For some time countv leaders and htuinessnu n have been inter ested in taking a group of finished steers to the Eastern National Livestock Show in Baltimore, Maryland. They figure that our participation in this show would | stimulate Interest in the livestock of this area. In addition to fur nishing some valuable advertising for the beef cattle in this area. Hilly V, Carver of Beaverdam is a man that, knows you can't tell a book by its coyer. He recently b<nrght' a piece' rtf latiri that has been idle for many years. The land did not look very pretty, as the creek had worn a winding path through the bottomland and was cutting away the bank at each turn. The pastures had grown up in lo cust. thorns, and scrub pine, and the hills were scarred by scalds. Mr. Carver knew how to handle this; he called on the farm agent and the Soil Conservation Service agent, and formulated a plan to heal the scalds and drain the wet spots, build gra^.s waterways, and stralgten the creek, Mr, Carver says "The land's there?it just has to be handled right." Last week Haywood County's white pine population went up 70. 000. If the farmers who received these trees take care in setting them out and fence out the live stock, 80 per cent of these trees should live. In 24 years these trees will have a value of $61.600 00 to the farmers of the county. The annual district Fat Stock Show and Sale was held Novem ber 13 and 14 at the Enka Horse & Hound.PaviUatt in Buncombe Coun ty. Four-H Club boys and girls from Haywood County exhibited and sold 14 outstanding animals. The grand champion steer was ex hibited by a Haywood County boy i i Floyd Rogers of Clyde). The animals averaged $33 per hundred weight, which indicated the interesUano support the local businessmen gave the 4-H Club members from Haywood County. A fat steer project involves a lot of work and excellent training for boys and girls. Although the pro ject is not economical, it teaches those who are participating a sense of value. Wishes Come True for N. Carolina 4-H'ers The perennial wish of North Carolina 4-H Club members?state honors and a trip to the National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago? came true thia year for three teen-agers whose 1958 records of per formance were superior In the 4-H Food Preparation, Dress Revue, and Home Improvement programs.

A Club member for eight years, Vivian rooked and served 2.286 meals and 8,802 dishes, and pre ??????? ' ? . i i mm pared 1,900 packages for the freezer.

Her mother, Mrs. Vivian Tucker, is her Club leader. j Florence Favne. 18. of Lexing ton is designer, seamstress, and model all rolled into one Judged on three main points ? herself, her outfit, and its construction, she won top state honors over all other 4-H participants in the li?3t> Dress Hevue.

Florence won honors In cloth ing contests for six years. Mrs. T. 8. Payne, her mother and leader, feels that she and Flor ence owe much to 4-H for the modeling experience and poise gained through the dress revue project. For the 10th year. Sim plicity Pattern Co., provides the trip award. Shirley Scott, id, 01 crown Summit, state winner in the 4-H Home improvement program will share in the 10th anniversary of the awards donor ? the Sears Roebuck Foundation. During her six years in 4-H work she has been encouraged in her project by her leader-mother, Mrs. Walker Scott. in her home the unfinished attic was divided into a hall aud two bedrooms under Shirley's guidance. She helped in the plans for enlarging their home as well as in selecting the furnishings and accessories. She also gained skill in re-upholstering, combin ing colors and making draperies. All these programs are con ducted under the direction of (he Cooperative Extension Service. mmmmnmmnmu Vivian Tucker Florence Payne Shirley Scott Food For Winter Fills Freezer Of N. C. Farmer The deep freeze of Old Man Win ter is well on its way, but it doesn't have to cut off your supply of fresh garden vegetables if you have done as the A. H. Chestons of Trenton. Route 2. have done. Jones County Agent Fletcher I ? ?. I Barber says the Chestons are one of the many families in Jones J County who can say that their gar-1 den has really been profitable this year. Like most of the families in the county, he says, the Chestons ! entered in the "Raise a Square Meal Around Home" contest this j past spring. Barber says that at the present time, the Cheston food freezer is 1 filled with many different garden vegetables no longer in seasonal . supply. In addition, they have ap proximately 300 quarts of canned fruits and vegetables, he adds. | The Chestons feel that their acre and a half garden netted them more this year than any other acre and a half on the farm, according to Barber. Want ads bring quick results Triple Production ? Brings Big Bonus J To Dairy Farmer "Jane," a 10-year old Holstein cow owned by A. M. Foltz of Wins ton-Salem, Route 4. believes in do ing things in a big way. According to Davidson Assistant County Farm Agent W. W. Johnson, "Jane" be came mother to triplet calves on October 27 of this yvar. Thus, with in a space of 15 months. "Jane" has given birth to five calves, and all lived and did well. Johnson says this is not entirely new for "Jane" since she had previ ously given birth to another set of twins In a ten-year period with the Foltz dairy herd, this Holstein animal has given birth to 11 calves. "Jane" has had two sets of twins and one set of triplets. In addition to being a prolific mother, "Jane" is one of the top producing cows in the Foltz dairy herd, says Johnson. And because of the multiple births in "Jane's" family, Foltz has only kept one heifer. She too is quite a prolific cow, adds Johnson, as she had twins this fall at her first lacta tion. According to marketing special ists in the U. S. Department of Agriculture, poultry and egg sup plies will set new production rec ords. Egg supplies will be two per cent or more above the 1955 high.
