Gray, of Ra leigh, N. C, Regional Director of Resettlement's Land Utilization Division. ; ...... : "We expect to be able to make definite announcements regarding plans for forestry projects in North Carolina within a short time," Gray said, "and J sincerely hope that private land owners . In this state will watch closely the development of these' projects. "The Forest Service of the Unlt-ed-States Department of Agricul ture, the - state forestry ; depart ments and the forestry divisions of the state agricultural colleges have made great strides in emphasizing the value of farm forestry. The Re settlment Administration will car ry out all of Its forestry projects in close cooperation with these im portant agencies. Many of us have had an opportunity to observe the work they have done and the Re settlement projects will be located that it will be possible fox an even larger number of ' private land owners to watch development , of these projects from the very be ginning. ' "By following the forestry me thods mapped out by government experts, private land owners will be able to develop their own lands a long similar lines, properly handl ed, small forest tracts will make any farm more prosperous and will enhance its value as an invest ment." ' ' iv.'r'-'' . .ir' r In the development of its fores try projects,. Gray said, the Re- settiment Administration .will util ize land whlc'i is callisfird as un- suited for agricultural' purposes. The land o be devoteu io forestry is only a portion of thtt acreage of farm land which the government plans to acquire and put into user for which it is better adapted. In addition to forestry, other projects for which this land will be utilized are recreational areas, grazing lands' and wild life sanctuaries. - -' Land will be selected for pur chase' either because it is needed for some public purpose, such as recreation or wild life protection, or because the - continuance 'of (some Ill-adapted usage tends 1 to produce serious social and econom ic problems that can best be solv ed by publld acqualtion and con trol. Because of tte necessity for blocking out solid, areas that can be ' administered - efficiently, it is not- possible to consider in most cases the purchase ' of separate tracts of land not located within a project , .. . When the 'approximate location of a proposed project has been decided upon, land owners within the project area will be notified 6f the possibility' of selling their land to' the government, Grey ex plained.. The price- paid for' land will depend upon the expert ap praisal of , each separate tract Land owners will be able to deal directly -with the representatives of the Land Utilization Division, and need not employ no inter mediaries or agents. The Division will also render some necessary' assistance to f am- ; Hies who, after selling their pres ent farms to the government in ' connection with this program, ask for further' help in finding satis factory homes elsewhere.

Kept Out of Wheat , The Hessian fly, which costs A merican farmers millions of dollars every year, can usually be kept out of wheat by sowing the seed during the fly-free! period. Since there is no remedy, once the fly has gotten In a field, said C.'H. Brannon, extension entomo logist at State College, the only way to control it is to keep It out of the wheat The fly-free periods vary in dif ferent parts of North Carolina. In the western part of the State it is from September 15 to October 5; In the Piedmont from October 1 to 15; and in the coastal plain area from October 15 to November 1. Every method of keeping the fly out of wheat should be followed, Brannon stated. Plow under all in fested .stubble soon after harvest. Destroy. all volunteer wheat and plow the wheat land as early and deeply as possible. Prepare a pul verized compact seed bed, use good seed, fertilize well, and secure the cooperation of your neighbors, Brannon urged. Hessian fly damage is caused by the maggots which feed on the plants between the leaf sheaths and the stems, Sometimes they kill the plants outright. Frequent ly the damage is so serious that the yield la greatly reduced. The resting stage, or pupae, of the Hessian fly seen on wheat Is often called "flaxseed." The adult fly,, very small and resembling a mosquito, comes from this flax seed," Brannon pointed out. Especial efforts to wipe out the fly should be made on farms where this "flaxseed" has been noticed on the wheat, he added. '.Three pure bred Guernsey bulls were purchased' last week by Ro wan farmers from Quail Roost Farm in Durham County. A marked increase in the pro duction of horses and mules on the farms of McDowell : County has been noted by the farm agent. A number of farmers are keeping one or two brood mares from which colts are being raised. ...... O ii i. L SMITH; HIGHWAY U ;, 24 HOUR SERVICE OAS; OIL AND DRINKS j . REST, CHEW AND SMOKE ' - STOP.
