for csttls, uy( Fred B. Whilfi. .-Id.
extension forestry specialist at
Stat* College
He says that Charlie Ledford ot
the OtU community in Macon
County la Just one ot many West
era North Carolina farmers who
have learned this track fart.
la a recent conversation with
Whitfield. Ledlord pointed to his
deep woods and said: "You could
put rows late this woodland coys
?ad forget them." Explaining
quickly that to turn cattle into
such woods would likely brine a
quick death from poisonous plants,
he added facetiously, "When they
are dead you can forget them."
Whitfield points out that many
Western North Carolina fanners
have learned too that cattle seek
out plants that grow in the richer
soils first and leave the dry ridges
until there Is nothing left in the
coves to eat. They eat the more
valuable trees such as yellow pop
lar, white oak. and white pipe,
leaving trees like black gum and
hickory to fill the spaces.
Cattle pack the soil, depriving
treea of needed moisture. This
packing causes water to run over
the top of the ground, taking soil
with it, and exposing fine feeder
roots to the sun and wind.
In addition, when cattle roam
through trees which are too large
to be eaten, the trees invsriably
have a great amount of "butt rot."
This ruins the first log of the
tree which should be the best un
der normal conditions.

Uranium Hunters Form
Two-State fbrganization
Eltzabethton, Tenn, Oct. I ? A
group of uranium hunter*, and
businessmen today organiied the
Appalachian Uranium Aaan., with
members from Tenneaaee and
North Carolina, B
Floyd Hayea of Elk Park, N. C,
who waa elected president, aaid
the, purpoae of the organization la
to get the federal government in
terested in the uranium and other
ore potentials in the Tennessee
North Carolina Blue Ridge and
Great Smoky Mountains area.
Hayes aaid another meeting of
the group will be called shortly,
at which officers hope to have
members of the congressional del
egations from both states, includ
ing the U. S. senators, present.
Ivan Hodge of Eliza bethon was
named vice preaident for Tennes
see. Mrs. Lelia Millard of Vilas.
N. C? was named vice president
for North Carolina. Other officers:
J. T. Leath of Elixabethton, secre
tary; and Jack Bretler, Mountain
City, Tenn., and Paul Shackley,
West Jefferson, N. C., assistant
secretaries. Steve Lacy of Johnson
City, a miner and businessman,
was named counselor for the
group.
Lacey said the group feels it is
being slighted in the matter of
government help to prospect the
Appalachian area because of the
Western states' mining block in
Waahington.
"We know there ia uranium of
commercial quality and quantitiea
in the Tenneaaee-North Carolina
mountains," Lacy said. "Yet we
have to wait as much as a year to
get test returns on ore samples
sent to Washington."
He added that prospector send
ing ore samples to Waahington
gets no answer to his request for
a teat unleaa he designates the lo
cation of the ore site, then If it
comes from ? Appalachian It ia
Ignored.
Other prospectors at the meet
ing said they believed the ore
testa are being held up "to allow
the Western mining interests to
mm in." ,>? ! '?i ,
At least 21 prospecto rs at the
meeting said they bad uranium of
commercial 'value on their claims
located In both atatea
One. fee. Hillard. reported ibe
had bad a sample tested from one
of ber claims by a big Western
mining and production outfit. The'
mining company reported Mrs.
Hillard's sample showed greater
quality and quantity than some of
tha best claims presently being
worked by the eompeay.
"The whole problem," Laccy
said, "so far as the government is
concerned, is polities. The West
ern mining interests and Wining
states have been able to place key
men in the government in Wash
ington, who know mining and are
able to protect their interesta. The
Appalachian area has no such lob
by Mock."
