Soil Conservation O Farm woodland owners can turn ice-damaged trees into cash and reduce or prevent spread of dis- j ease and insects if they salvage the broken pine and hardwood trees during the next few weeks, said L- B. Hairr of the Soil Con- . servation Service. “From reportsan d what I have seen, farm woodlands were ex tensively damaged by the ice storm,” Mr. Hairr said. “But there is a wonderful market for sawlogs, pulpwood, and fuelwood now, and profitable use can be made of farm labor in removing these damaged trees.” “If fallen trees and trees with brok netops are not removed as soon as possible they are likely to be badyl damaged by rot, and the loss of that timber may be complete. Some insect infesta tion also is possible if the trees are not removed.” Mr. Hairr, who is assigned to help farmers in the Catawba Soil Conservation District to develop and establish complete farm con servation plans including a wood land management program, also said there would be danger of the spread of rot and insects from unc cut broken trees to timber not hurt by the ice storm. The conservationist reported that many farm woodlands in the soil conservation district needed a thinning to improve the stand and to increase the yield. “While the farm woods are be ing worked to save the damaged trees, it would be a good time to mark and cut at the same time, other trees which should be re moved to improve the stand,” he explained- Davis —Crisp O Miss Sybil Davis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G.

When 65 o Buncombe County workers who have reached age 65 and have not yet filed claim for benefits under the Social Security Act should write or call at the Social Securi ty Board field office in Asheville, regardless of whether they con tinue ot work.
