Less Than Half Of Lumber For N. C. Furniture Industry Comes From This State htm than one- half the source of lumbar for the furniture Industry of North Carolina is derived from the forests of this state. Tills disturbing figure was recent ly discovered in the results of a survey conducted by the Furniture, Plywood, and Veneer Council of the Nerth Carolina Forestry Associa tion in cooperation with the South ern Furniture Manufacturers Asso ciation and the Southeastern Forest Experiment Station of the United States Forest Service. According to a booklet summariz] ing this survey ,the furniture plants | of North Carolina use approxi mately 350 million board feet of do mestic lumber each year. Some 44 percent of this lumber comes from North Carolina, another 21 percent from the adjoining states of South Carolina and Tennessee, and 10 percent from Gerogia. The other fourth comes from the deep South and the central states, with only very small amounts coming from other parts of the country. Yellow-poplar exceeds all other species, making up SS percent of the domestic lumber used. The gums account for 20 percent, the oaks 11 percent, yellow pine 6 per cent, with no other species ac counting for more than 3 percent of the volume. Surprisingly .only 13 million feet or S.S percent of mil lumber uaed Is of foreign origin. Imported lumber is approximately 98 percent Hon duras mahogany. The North Carolina furniture in ?dustry is dependent on North Caro lina hardwoods if high freight rates are to be avoided. The forest land owner in North Carolina Is depen dent on the furniture industry for his major market for hardwood forest products. The sawmills and concentration yards of North Car olina are dependent on the land owner to supply the timber, and the furniture industry to purchase the lumber. The economic importance of the hardwood timber resource to the state is easily recognized when a value Is applied to the lumber used. , Estimates indicate that over 42 mil lion dollars were paid out for lum-| ber alone, not considering wages paid in processing lumber into fur niture and various other sources of revenue resulting. This amounts to approximately J10.50 per capita in the state. Little thought has been given to the importance of hardwoods to North Carolina's economy in the past.

The aweet potato, being a tropical plant, will continue to grow until froat kills the vtnea. However, they may be dug aa aoon aa the roots have reached a desirable size. It is safer to dig them before frost because If the stems are ex posed they may be damaged by the cold and the roots will not keep well in storage. Sweet potatoes should be dug carefully so as not to bruise or cut them unnecessarily. A bad bruise will cause a hard spot when the potato is cured or may allow dis ease to enter the root. It is best to grade in the field, carefully pack ing the marketable or useable po tatoes in bushel tub baskets or slot I' ted crates in which they will be stored. The culls should be used at once or disposed of. It is not advis able to store the culls with the I*"" | For the gardener who grows only a few for his own use, a warm basement or vacant room may provide suitable storage. For the first 10 to 15 days a curing tem perature of about 85 degrees should be maintained. After that a temperature of 55 to <0 degrees Is best. For the gardener who also wishes to sell a few bushels of po tatoes, we recommend that he build a small storage house such as one designed by the depart ments of horticulture and agricul tural engineering, which will hold 64 bushel baskets of potatoes. It is heated by electricity and con trolled by a thermostat so that there is little attention needed in its operation. Plans may be ob tained from the Agricultural Ex tension Service, N. C. State Col lege, Raleigh, N. C. Once the potatoes are placed in storage they should not be hand led or disturbed until ready to re move them for use or for market. Any handling of the potatoes in storage will often cause many of hem to rot. If stored in baskets or :rates any desired number of bask its may be removed at any time without disturbing the others. It vill be necessary to regrade all >otatoes taken from the storage lor market.

Forest Service, Indus- 1 Mai and federal foresters are working together on a program of hardwood research and demonstra tion designed to point the way to successful forest management of hardwoods in the Piedmont of North Carolina.
