Another of the Dukes harnessed the streams from the moui:I tains to move the wheels of the tobacco and cotton factories.

There were 2,585 acres of private lands w burned over inside and ad'acenl to a; I national forests, bringing the grand c* total tc 11.179. From May 1 to May 6 most of the acreage was burned in I the disastrous Pisgah fire that swept j the Boone area. tc Mr. Mattoon said that the cost of si suppression of the fires was $4,000, but that it was hard to estimate the tl d 'niage done since most of/the timber ti burned over was 10-year growth tim- ber and that to estimate its value would be to merely give the cost of protection. The Pisgah fire was vlaced in this manner at a damage of approximately $25,000. NEW SEED LAW WILL PROTECT THE FARMERS The new seed law, which passed the present congress will protect the North Carolina farmer from mis uranaea seeds imported irom loreign countries and unadapted to conditions in this country. The law is. known as the GoodingKetcham bill and became effective on May 25. Its purpose is to prohibit the importation of alfalfa, red clover and other seeds into the United States unless the seeds are colored in such a manner and to such and extent as the secretary of agriculture may prescribe. Prof. Darst, of State College, states that where practical, the color used will indicate the country or region where the seed was grown. i 97 D jerfecf ~V If* ? 3 t J?ii |?;s? ? ' " "j'j. L , 1 .
