FORESTRY REPORT OF H. K. SANDERS Report Proves That County Agent Has Been Very Busy Along Many Lines- FARM FOREST MANAGEMENT Demonstration: Thinning Short leaf pine timber (second growth). County: Person. Cooperation: H. K. Sanders, County Agent. Owner of timber: S. J. Dickens, Roxboro, Route 3. Character of site: Medium sandy loam. Purpose of demonstration: To show increased growth as a result of thinning, and encouroge a more complete utilization of the full crop Area in demonstration plot: 3-4 of an acre. Data on demonstration: (on a pe~ acre basis) Age of timber, years, 1928—38-49 1935—45-47. Volume of fuelwood cut, cords. 1928—6.67, 1935—8.70. Number of trees after thinning. 1928—401, 1935—313. Average D. B. H. of trees left inches, 1928—8.9, 1935—10.1. Average height of trees left, feet 1928—48.4, 1935—56.2. Volume of trees left, cords, 1928 51.15, 1935—57.86. Total growth-seed to present, 1923 —67.82, 1935—73.23. Average annual growth, seed to present, 1928—1.48, 1935—1.59. Analysis of Data: In 1928 a harvest of 6.67 cords of fuelwood was taken from a stag nant stand of pines, leaving a capi tal stock of 401 trees—22,7B6 board feet or 4.603 cubic feet—sl.ls cords plus 6.67 cords thinned, or a total of 57.82 cords, an average growth of 1.52 cords per acre per year. In 1935, 7 years later, this grow ing stock, 51.15 cords, had increased to 66.56 cords. This gain of 15.41 cords gives 2.20 cords per acre as an average annual growth for the seven year period. A harvest of 8.7 cords was taken, leaving 57.86 cords standing tp the acre. In taking the second harvest, this farmer’s one acre savings bank de clared a dividend of 8.70 cords and added a surplus of 6.71 cords to the previous capital. Computing this on a basis, the wood used at the farm (after de ducting cost of labor and hauling) was valued at $2.10 per cord, or $4.62 per acre per year from 1928 “ thru 1935. Deducting taxes (land valuation of $28.00 per acre and tax rate (1934) of $1.05 per hundred) of 29c, the farmer realized a net in " come of $4.33 per acre or simple in terest of 15.5 per cent on $28.00 land.

AUTO MAKERS MAY REPEAT 1935 PLAN Debut of Models in Fall Instead of Winter Proves Boost All Around Detroit, Dec. 30—Some time with in the next eight* or 10 weeks the motorcar industry’s chieftains will be called upon to decide definitely whether to repeat the fall introduc tion of new models. On the basis of current reaction to the November presentation of new types, a decision at this time would be emphatically in favor of the plan. Indications are that retail distribution during January and February probably will be the de ciding factor. To date the plan can be called an unnualified sucess, having stim ulated an unprecedented retail de mand a*i a time that normally is extremely lean, having provided a hieh level of employment when it was most needed and in assuring competing companies that their re tail outlets would be adequately stocked when the second wave of buying interest rolls in around March 1. One of the negative developments of the fall introduction policy, of course, has been the unusually heavy winter accumulation of used cars, estimated by Automobile Industries trade publication, to have reached 446.000 units on December 1. The highest level of old car inventories in the industry’s history was thn 600,000 unit accumulation in 1929. There is under way, however, a concentrated effort throughout: the industry to stimulate the sale of traded - in-vehicles. The turn-over eenerally is reported to be increas ing. The piling up of used cars in heavy volume appears, however, to be a condition related to new model presentation rather than to fall, winter or spring introduction. In April, for example, the used car inventory went up above 400,000 following a January introduction of new cars. • Thus it is probable the used car situation in itself will have little bearing on the decision as to the date for switching to wqrk on 1937 types. Proponents of the fall auto mobile show plan are emphasizing the fact it permits a full stocking of all retail outlets by the time the normal seasonal bugle of buying begins. o P. A.

Clyde “Jack” Oakley will fight Friday night LOUIS REVIVES BOXING New York. Dec. 30—Boxing this ’•ear was marked by the sensational performances of Joe Louis, Detroit’s several new world champions and dusky destroyer, the installation o' Ihe first million dollar pate since the do v s of Tunnev and Dempsev. Needless to say. it was Joe Louis who was the cause of the million dollar attraction, promoted by Mike Jacobs for the Twentieth Century Club, who moved to the top rating as a fisrht promoter. Louis’ string of fast knockouts put new life in the boxing game He proved again that the ring fans will always turn out to see the lad with a wallop and Joe has the wal lop. He disposed of Primo Carnero in short order and made a chopping block of Max Baer before dumping him in the resin. Second only to Louis was the work of .Tames J. Braddock who came back off the bread lines to lift the heavyweight title from Max Baer. This feat was all the more remarkable in view of the fact that Jim was considered all sashed up as a light - heavyweight several years ago. Nothing was expected of Camera, but Baer was expected to put up a decent battle in defense of his crown. He was hopeless againsi Braddock and he was pitiful against Louis. Several new heavyweights came into prominence and this crop is counted on to produce some real contenders for titular honors next year. Bob Olin made a game fight in losing John Henry Lewis and Babe Risko, a greatly improved fighter, had little trouble in lifting the American middleweight title from Ted Yarosz. Borney Ross of Chicago recaptur ed the welterweight title from Jim my McLarnin in a close battle and then both went into semi-retire ment. Tony Canzoneri successively de j fended his lightweight title and as usual never hesitated to meet any body or everybody—a real fighting champion. The featherweight ti*)e is in dis pute but there is no doubt in the minds of boxing fans that Freddy Miller is the best man of his weight in the world. He did most, of his camnaiffriing in Europe this year. Sixto Escobar, rrreat little Porto Rican, dropped his bantamweight title to Lou Salica on a disputed decision and then regained it, in a fight that left no room for doubfl as to which is the better man. There was no interest and even less activity among tihe flyweights. CANVAS HELPS TO PROTECT SEED BED To Keep Beetles Out the Seed Bed Must Be Tight. A good grade of canvas having 26 strands to the inch used on tobacco seed beds will help protect the young plants from flea beetles and cold weather. To keep the beetles out however, the seed bed must be made tight, said C. H. Brannon, extension en tomologist at State College. He suggested that six-inch boards, stood on their sides, be placed around their bases. The canvas is stretched over the boards. As an additional protection, he said, a strip of ground about two feet wide encircling the bed may be planted to tobacco. If the tobac co in the strip is kept poisoned reg ularly, it will serve as a trap for the beetles. Poles may be placed around the margin of the trap. Since flea beetles often wreck se rious damage to tobacco beds, Bran non is urging the growers to take every precaution possible. He also pointed out that naptha- 1 lene flakes have been found good in the control of small wbrms in the tobacco beds. Tight beds, he added, will hold the gas much longer than a loosely constructed bed, and in thorn a more effective worm con trol is possible. Even if a grower does not plan to seed his tobacco bed for a few weeks yet, Brannon said, he should star*: preparing the beds right away so as to have them in good condi tion at seeding time. Detailed instructions for control ing weeds and insects in tobacco plant beds may be obtained free by growers upon application to the ag ricultural editor at State College, Raleigh. RED SQUILL IS BEST RAT POISON ’ . - • I Best Time to Put it Out is in Winter Time. Red Squill is rough on rats. Bub it does not kill domestic animals or poultry. George B. Lay, rodent control leaden* of the U. S. biological sur vey with headquarters at State College, said Red Squill is the most nearly fool-proof rat poison known to man. It usually drives the rodents un derground to die. thereby prevent ing unpleasant odors. It acts slowly. Lay added, and does not scare off late coming rats with 'he bodies of dead or dying rats near the bait. The best time to put out Red Sauill bait., Lay said, is during the wintpr when rats and mice leave the fields and gather in houses, out ■, v * * A NEW HORIZON WITH NEW BEAUTY BLACK storm.

He recommended that the poison be mixed with three dif ferent ingredients to provide a va riety of bait. A pound of poison to 15 pounds of hamburger meat makes a good bait, he said. Or a pound of the powder may be mixed with 15 pounds of chap canned salmon or mackeral and a pound of oat meal. Or mix the poison with 16 pounds of corn meal and enough water to make it crumbly. Usually, he said, it helps to put out some non-poisoned bait for a few days to get the rodents used to eating it. Then when the poison ed bait is distributed, they will eat); it liberally. Place the bait where other ani mals cannot get at it, and where the rats or mice likely to run. Although Red S4uill will not kill other animals, it may cause them to vomit, Lay stated, and then there is no need to waste the bait by al lowing the other animals to eat it. o Advertise in the Person County, Times.
