Soil Conservation Service "The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctu ary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious." Isaiah 60:13. Many other passages from the Bible could be quoted that tell how our forests serve us and how we should protect them. Today, more than ever before, civiliza tion is calling on our forests to provide the raw materials for countless products needed in every-day living. Soil and water conservation are linked to the forest in unmistakable terms. This year, farmers, school chil dren, 4-H club and F. F. A. mem bers will plant approximately 200,000 pine seedlings in Cleve land County. The Cleveland Coun ty Agricultural Workers Council has several thousand seedlings which will be given free to the farmer, or others wishing to do reforestation. Beautify your san ctuary by planting an acre, to trees. The ugly erosion scars on Mother Earth's face in Cleveland County could certainly use' more than 200,000 pine seedlings in its badly neglected and long overdue face lifting. Prizes totaling $60,00 will be pffered to White high school stu dents of Cleveland County, grades 9 through 12, by F. S. Dedmon, in a speaking contest on "Green Pas tures, Their Use and Manage ment." The North Carolina Bank ers Association Is sponsoring the contest on a state-wide basis. The North Carolina Bankers Associa tion and business men like Mr. Dedmon are extending to. the high school students an Invitation to assist In attaining a wide spread knowledge of proper man ament of pastures. They recog nize that management and use of pasture land are essential to abundant and economic produc tion of livestock in North Caro lina and Cleveland County. R. L. Whitesides of New House com munity, is carrying on a refore station program on his farm. Last year, Mr. Whitesides plant ed 10,000 pine seedlings and is planting another 10,000 pines this year and prior to these two years, he had planted several thousand seedlings. He has cooperated with the Broad River Soil Conserva tion District since 1934. W. E. Clary and Shafter Put nam of the Mount Sinai communi ty are also planting several acres to trees. Mr. Putnam is planting 1,500 black locusts for future fence posts on his farm. It looks as if a guess of 7,000 cords would not be' bad for the number of cords of pulpwood shipped from Cleveland County last year. Yes sir, it looks as if theie might be a little money "in them thar woods." For two straight years, reserve feed stocks in the United States have gone down while livestock numbers have increased.

Clark Os borne of. State College says the following mixture can be used for control of lice on cows from which no milk is being used for human consumption: 5 per cent DDT powder prepared by mixing one tea -cup of 50 per cent wet ta ble powder with 10 tea-cups of flower of sulfur. Apply dust around head and neck, along back, and between legs. Repeat In two weeks." Cows producing milk to r human use should NOT be treated with DDT. A 1 1-2 per cent strength of Rotenone may be applied as a dust to milking cows to control lice. The dust treat ments are recommended for win ter use. Buildings or sheds that are in fested with lice, say6 Dr. Osborne! may be treated by spraying DDT mixture upon all areas which are suspected of being infected. In warm weather a 2 1-2 per cent DDT spray Is recommended for the control of lice. QUESTION: What is the poul try outlook for 1952? ANSWER: Higher production costs and slightly lower prices ap^ pear to be in store for the poul try industry during the coming year. For this reason, say State College specialists, it will be more Auto Dealers Employ 750,000 ?WASHINGTON. D. C., ?Strik ing new evidence that it takes more people ? about 40,000 new car dealers and their 725,000 em ployees to Keep new oars (low ing to the American family than it takes to manufacture them was revealed today in a study made public bv the National Automo bile Dealers Association. The study throws new light '>ti | the role of about 10.000 franchis ee new, car dealers ; .jaged in what the survey shows to be "big business", meeting a national pay roll of 2** billion dollars every year. The dealers' employees, nearly three quarters oi a million of them, are needed for the vital work pf distributing, maintaining and servicing the new cars after the manufacture's work is done, the survey shows, emphasizing the position of the new car dea'er as a vital link in the national cconomy. ... A report based on the study conducted by the NADA's Public Relations Committee under Chair man J. Eustace Wolfinjjton, of Philadelphia, also brought to light for the first time other outstand ing facts about the nation's new car dealers: The average new car and truck dealer has been in business more than 20yenrs. New car dealers contribute more than i7 million dollars a year to religious, ed'^ational and charitable organizations in their communities -a sum larger than most important philanthropic foundations can spend. They are lending 12 million dol lars worth of cars annually to high school driver training pro grams. Eight out of ten new car deal ers are active members of civic clubs, more than half of them served as officers. Nine out of ten belong to conv m u n 1 1 y service organizations (Community Chest boards, Red Cross committees. Boy Scout councils, etc.) half holding office. Showing unusual interest in community affair*, 34% of the nation's new car dealers hold or I have held public office In their communities, counties or states.

Egg prices are expected to be slightly to moderately lower dur ing the first half of the year, but equal to or above those of 1951 during the last half. Broiler prices will average slightly to moderately lower for the first part of the year and perhaps the same as in 1951 for the last half of 1952. Turkey prices will aver age slightly lower. Poultry feeds probably will cost 10 to 15 per cent more this year, and labor costs will be higher. Thirty Orange County farmers who grew the Arlington oat variety last season averaged 68 bushels per acre. The average oat yield for the- entire county was only 32 bushels per acre. Because of its rich content of sugar and protein, dairy waste may be a serious source of stream pollution. . Sheep Investments Prove Profitable If managed properly, a good flock of sheep is one of the most profitable livestock enterprises a North Carolina farmer . could have. This is the opinion of J- S. Bu chanan. livestock, specialist for the State College Extension Service, who has Jnst concluded an analysis of farm flock records kept in 1951 by 47 sheep produce rs in 11 counties. The records show,_says Bu chanan, that the average net income per breeding ewe was $29.68. The flocks included the reports varied in size from six to 85 ewes, with an average of 22 per flock. The 1,026 ewes raised 1,066 iambs for a 103.8 per cent lamb crop. The ewer, averaged 8.6 pounds of wool per head, and the Wool sold for an average of $8.49 per ewe. The gross income per lamb was $28.89 per head. The total gross income per ewe was $37.41 for lambs and wool. The average cost of keep ing a ewe for the year was $7.13 per head, leaving a net income of $29.68 per ewe. Buchanon says the records show that where grade or scrub rams were used, the income per ewe was $9.39 less than in flocks where purebred, registered rams were used. In flocks where the buck lambs were not castrated, the income per ewe was $4 per head less than in flocks where this practice was followed/Creep .feeding, lambs was worth $2.69 more income per ewe. The importance of minor min erals in crop production is lie coming more apparent as more is learned about them.

Our garden soils and how we treat them will determine to a large extent ho%v successful .our gardening operations will be. Garden soils should be well drained. They should have good underdraihage as w . as sur face drainage. Deep tillage may help in that respect. Where there is a choice, sandy loam soils should be selected for early spring crops. Sandy soils do not hold mo h>t u re as well as heav ier soils and therefore warm up earlier in spring. This makes them more desirable . for early crops. The heavier soils retain moisture better and are there fore jti ore desirable for late sum mer crops. . Most of our garden soils do not contain enough organic mat ter. Organic matter helps to make tight soils more porous and loose, makes sandy soils more re tehtive of moisture, and adds a considerable amount of fertility when it is broken down by soil bacteria; Organic matter may be sup plied in several ways- - by app lication of stable manure if a vailable by turning under green cover crops, toy turning ' under straw, leaves, garbage, or old sawdust and applying compos ted materials to the soil. How ever, it must be kept in mind that in the rotting of these ma terials in the soil the bacteria will Use up largo amounts of nitrogen from the soil and may cause a nitrogen deficiency for the crop to be planted with dis astrous results. " U this happens, as indicated by yellowing pf the leaves and poor growth, quickly available nitrogen must be added in suf; ficient q'uaoity to correct the de. ficiency. The nitrogen used by the bacteria in rotting the organ ic materials will eventually be returned to the soil for use by the crops. The more time allowed for the rotting of organic ma terials before a ?crop Is planted, the better. EYES EXAMINED GLASSES FITTED DR. D. M.

" Out of thin air comes the in Buick history lo, we didn't have to build a ncvy engine. We took Buiek's valve-in-head Fireball Kngine -which tnakes the most of high com pression. We drew on 12* patient years of Buick carhuretion research. And we came up with marc might, more miles, from gas? right out of thin air, in more ways than one. When you talk about "miles per gallon" you think of fuel, because that's what you buy. But air's free? and for every gallon of gaso line, a busy engine can gulp more than 8,000 gallons of air. The problem is to deliver air in the right proportions, throughout the Juki range of speeds at which you drive. A carburetor? big enough to supply the air needed at full throttle? can he wasteful in stop-and-go driving. A carburetor sized for thrift in city traffic literally smothers your engine when you really give it the gun. So Buick engineers developed the Afrpower carburetor ? a four-barrel automatic ? nod here's how it works. Loafing along, two barrels are working, two stay closed. And you get a low-speed thrift and smoothness that's out of this world. As you pick up speed, the "stand-bys" come into play? feeding not just more gas, hut more a?r too? so you keep getting maxi mum power from each drop of fuel. Vhi have ! 70 effortless horsepower when you need it? a tremendous reserve ready to go into instant action at the nudgeof your toe. You have the satisfaction of knowing that you get this power with a frugal use of gas. At 40 you use less gas than you formerly used at 30. : # * , & # That's the story of Airp'ower carhuretion in facts and figures straight from the factory. But statistics can't tell you the breath-taking joy of heading for new horizons in a great powered new Ro A DM ASTER. When can you do that? Better come in soon.
