PAGE FOUR
Around The Mt. Mitchell
Forest Service District
By George Vitas, U. S. Forest Ranger
Forestry Aide John Stanley
.ind Mrs. Stanley spent the
week-end of Washington’s bir
thday with John’s folks at
Cisco, Georgia. John’s dad,
William P. Stanley, who is 83,
is a retired U. S. Forest Ser
vice worker, whose original
home place is at Buladean.
He can remember back when
Roan Mountain had little on it
except virgin spruce and fir
with waist-high grass in the
openings. The Roan was a
mighty wild place then, and in
the evenings the valley folks
could hear the wolves howling
up on the mountain. In subse
quent years the .tall grass was
replaced by the shorter bald
grass, Rhododendron, wild
strawberries and moss now
found on the Roan.
John’s mother recalls that
when General Wilder built his
first hotel on the RoanyC'the
mountain top was so hard to
get to, that the problem of
keeping guests supplied with
fresh milk became very acute.
After pondering over this a
while, General Wilder got an
idea which he thought would
solve this problem. He pro
ceeded to lease cows with
summer milking privileges,
from the valley residents. He
took the cows to the top of the
Roan and cut them loose there
to graze on the grass. For a
few days, all was well, and the
guests were getting fresh
milk. But, as every one who
has been up there knows, ‘ the
weather on the Roan is unpre
dictable and one morning one
of those fog blankets settled
down on the Roan and stayed
there. The result was that the
cows were lose in the fog and
the guests were without milk.
After several more such ex
periences, General Wilder
gave up his “Cow Leasing”
plan and made those tortuous]
periodic trips into the valley {
to haul up his milk. (Maybe

Rupture Shield
EXPERT HERE
E. J. MEINIIARDI, widely known expert of Chicago and
•Michigan will be at the George Vanderbilt Hotel, Asheville,
for 2 days, Thursday and Friday, March 13th and 14th. Office
Hours 11 A. M. to 4 P. M. daily. (25 years successful record
thousands recommend him.)
Scientific research is constantly providing new relief for
taiany afDictions. The Meinhardi Laboratory has now produc
ed the improved Meishardi Rupture Shield. It stops the Rup
ture or Hernia from protruding in 10 days on the average
eUse, regardless of the size or location of the Rupture or Her
nia and no matter how hard you work or strain. It is also
used for many Ruptures which have repeatedly returned after
surgicad operations or injection treatments.
Caution: If neglected, Rupture may cause weakness, ner
vousness, constipation, headache, dizziness 'pain in back or
stomach and dangerous strangulation.
Eve: y mar. in this vicinity having a Rupture is invited to
see this Shield during the above stated office hours. There is
also no charge fore private consultation. If desired, orders
may be placed for immediate or future delivery. This demon
stration is for men only.

after all. They tried it on the
Roan more man GO years ago.)
Ay most any business man
will tell you, it is preTty hard
’ to tell where you stand unless
you make a periodic inventory
of your stocks. The same prin
ciple applies to the nation’s
timber lands. In past years, l
the U. S. Forest Service hasj
conducted periodic national
inventories of the country’s 1
forest resources. Recent stud
ies include: “A National Plan
for American Forestry,” pub
lished in 1933; “Forest Lands
of the United States,” 1941;
and “A Reappraisal of the
Forest Situation,” 1945. Re
cently, Lyle P. Watts, Chief of
the U. S. Forest Service, an
nounced that as eight years
have passed since the last tim
ber inventory, a new review of
the country’s timber resour
ces is being started by the
Service. The Chief Forester
predicts that it will take about
two years to complete the job.
To accomplish this task, the
Forest Service will seek the
advice and assistance of State
and private forestry agencies,
the wood-using industries and
conservation organizations.
The prospects faced by for
esters undertaking this study
are: (1) Future requirements
for wood are very high. (2)
Population is growing fast.
(3) The years since World
War II have seen a great grow
th of wood-using industries,
especially the pulp and paper
industry in the South. (4)
New inroads have been made
in the nation’s timber supplies
, by forest insects and diseases.
(5) Though the nation’s tim
ber growth has been increas
ing, the quality of the trees is
becoming poorer all the time,
i The study will undertake „ to 1
j answer the questions: (A)
] Just where does the country’s
I forest inventory stand today?
(B) What can and should be
done to improve the nation’s
forest situation?
£)u«U Need More Food And
Cover, Sportsman Says
It is possible sos Northern
Bobwhite quail to become ex
tince in Yancey County, ac
cording to John English, game
bird expert of Burnsville, un
less some steps are taken to
aid in the propogation of the
b i rds. _____ ■
There are several causes for
the reduction of quail in this
area, English said. Lack of
sufficient food and cover, over
hunting, and inbreeding over
| a period of years were among
the causes mentioned.
I Hunters themselves are ab
i le, in part, to take care of the
food and cover problem. When
a day’s hunt is begun, hunters
should carry out seed such as
Korean Lespedeza, he said,
and scatter over bare scalds in
quail territory. This would
provide food at that time and,
for years to come, and farm
ers would probably welcome
the service. Farmers and hun
ters may also get Korean Les
pedeza seed, Bicolor lespedeza
plants, and Multaflora rose
plants to be used for game
bird food and cover by writing
to the N/C. Wildlife Commis
sion.
Indescriminate hunt ing,
stray cats and foxes are hard
on quail propogation. Foxes
and cats often destroy young
birds and “break-up” nests be
fore the hatch, but poor spos
tsmen are a greater hazzard
to the quail supply. Some hun
ters, meat hungry or more in
terested in boastifig of the
number they kill than they
u -'- in future seasons, go into
’he field, find small coveys
and bang away until the last
bird is down. This type of hun

That is as important" to the fu

is to any demosticated animal,
he said. Inbreeding year after
year weakens bloodlines in

ease often wipes out a whole
