for nation-wide observance- of the,
annua} "American Forest Week," iivj
a pvoclumatum announced ivy tliej
United States department of aj.tvv-1

The president set apart the week,:
he said, "for public discussion of
our forests and of what must be
done to safeguard and restore the.ro '
fie emphasized particularly the
need for suppressing the forest fitv
evil, and pointed out the benefits to
. vgricuituregaindustry, comm erc e and
national life that will result from
making the forest lands of the United
States fully productive of continuous
timber crops.
"The rehabilitation of our forests
demands first of all that the forest
fire evil be suppressed,1 the pre.-i- '
dent declared. "Many of the for-;
eslcd states, with the co-operation
of timber!and owners, have undertaken
organized protection against
forest fives; and in recent years, un- \)

their vitality. Fori this bad situa-j '
tion, the blame falls equally on lis!'
all. Public agencies rareiv provide '
adequate protection against fire, the <
tiroocriar.d owner is too often iiiilif- '
fe.eat to h.s property, the forest
worker is too often neglectful of f
the luturc forest, the average citizen J
is too often careless with fire in the
woods. We must ail gain such respect
for the forest that its destruction
through indifference or care-1
lessness shall he unthinkable. '
"ho cannot permanently abuse)
our forests with impunity. The reiij
is the ultimate source of all ot; i
wealth and of life itself. One-fourthi
of our American soil is hest suited |
for forests. Much of this land'is al-l

made idle by destructive logging and j

our forests as conscrvers of soil and
water, and as givers of health and

"We already have made a beginning
in forest renewal; but the task
is stupendous and we should permit

WOOL MARKET BETTER
ACCORDING TO OUTLOOK
I
Raleigh. March 7.?The- woolj
market will he better this springj
than in the past two years is the j
cheering news that comes to flviepj
growers from some of the dealers. i
In a recent letter received at State'
College front G. I'. Williams, former j
sheep extension specialist in thisj
stale. lie says that th outlook
bettor prices t his . i>ring is \ ? ry j
coiVii. Wool fro,n Piedmont Xorlhl
Carolina -h^uld be worth 10 stints
a pound or belter while '.: * mountain
wool will iiko'.y be around :5
?ehis. j
' The host''information that We j
car. jriyp to fanmers about handling I
their \v?m I at sjtc&ring time this u a j
is to keep it free from chaff and dirt
and quit using the small feed bags
tor stuffing it in," says Ravi Hosteller
j in charge of work with sheep at
Statu College. "*t\re have found that
woo) shrinks and dries out badly in
these small bags. In many ease-, it
loses lis natural softness."
Mr. Hosteller states that in a
number of counties, the sheep growers
are pooling their wool with the;
farm demonstration agent who in
turn gets bids from the various buyers.
By selling in large lots at a
central point, better prices are secured,
especially when good care
has been taken in shearing, in keeping
the wool clean and in keeping j
it earefullv after shearim*-.
-O- I
in View of the better outlook for .
prices this spring, it wiii be advis-j
;tlde to handle the v.ooi with extra I
tare this year, states Mr. Hosteller.!
