Extension Service Says Fireproof Southern Pines This winter is a good time i "fireproof" your southern me stands by having them irefully prescribed burned, he primary benefit of pre :ribed fire is that it can :duce wildfires by controll ig the build-up of hazardous lels. Prescribed fire can Iso prepare sites for re urestation, improve wildlife labitat, control understory lardwood. and improve ap learance and access for lunting and harvesting. The use of prescribed fire n the woods is not a new loncept. Early settlers learn ed from Ihe native Indians (hat fires could control hard wood brush, vines and needle accumulation in pine stands, allowing better iccess for hunting. However, early fires were rarely con trolled. Having seen many millions of acres devastated by uncontrolled fires, forest managers in the early 1900s fought back with campaigns to exclude fire from the woods. An example is the very effective and continuing campaign of Smokey the Bear. Today's foresters are no less concerned with wildfire. But, they now know that proper use of controlled fire is one key to creating and maintaining health southern pine forests, and protecting those forests from catastro phic losses. Prescribed burning is now established as an effective tool in forest resource management. In addition to being useful, prescribed fire is one of the least expensive management options. Prescribed fire is a com plex tool though, requiring proper planning and careful execution by trained, experi enced personnel. Factors to be considered, in addition to season of the year, include the area to be burned, boun dries, weather conditions, slope and type of sail, amount and moisture content of fuel, and whether to ignite by hand, tractor or even helicopter. Improperly con ducted burns are a liability hazard in addition to their negative impact on air, water and woil quality, aesthetics and wildlife. Remember, before you burn, you should obtain a free burning permit from the Forest Service.

County-Wide Tobacco Farmers Meeting In Kenansville A countywide tobacco in formation meeting, spon sored by the Tobacco Grow ers Association of North Carolina, Inc., will be held Thursday. Jan. 26 at 7 p.m. in the old Kenansville Ele mentary School auditorium in Kenansville. The TGA has played a key role in bringing about changes in the tobacco pro gram that many feel were necessary for the survival of the program, according to Dr. T. Carlton Blalock, the 1 Association's executive vice ' president. "Our members feel we had to take action that will eventually enable us to grow I more tobacco instead of con-" tinuing to face cuts in the quota almost every year. Since 1975, our basic quota has been cut 46 percent. No one benefits from this kind of trend. Not the active growers and certainly not the allot ment holder." The Associa (ion was among (he first to request a freeze in price supports in 1982. I "We surveyed our members and over 6,000 responded," said Dr. Bla lock. "They told us that they'd rather lower price supports if that's what it took to stop the cuts in quota." Through the efforts of the Association, the recently passed Tobacco Bill directs the Secretary of Agriculture to complete a study by December 31. 1985, on the impact of the proposed elt mination of lease and trans fer after 1986 and report his findings to the House and Senate Agriculture Commit tees. "If that study con cludes that eliminating lease and transfer is not in the best interest of the program, we have time to go back to Congress and change the law before the current authori zation expires," said Bla lock. Paul Phillips, chairman of the county membership committee, urges everyone who has an interest in tobacco to attend. "This will give us an op portunity to become better informed on the problems fob our tobacco program has Phil faced in the past and the 0 opportunity to join the only coui total tobacco organization tee that, with a united effort, can Stet eliminate those problems in Ray the future. We must work Sloa together to maintain a sound Rou acco program," said Hips. ifher members of the nty membership commit are: William G. Sullivan, /e Grady, Terry Whaley, mond Brown, Warren in, William Costin and i se lvey.
