SMITH A supply of application blanks for forest tree seedlings has just been received from the office of the State Forester, Fred Claridge. Any farmer or land owner who is interested in setting out some trees this fall or winter should order his trees in the near fu ture to assure deliverly at the time he wants them. If he will come by the Soil Conservation Service office in the Courthouse, 1 we will be glad to assist you in filling out the order blanks. Mr. Claridge states that Red Cedar seedlings will not be avail able from the N. C. Depart ment of Conservation and De velopment in 1960 due to failure of the seed to germinate. How ever, Red Cedar will be available from a private tree farm lo cated at Tifton, Ga. The cedar can be ordered direct from this farm. Bill Davis, the Work Unit Con servationist at Bryson City, says that it is his opinion that the lack oi bass in farm ponds of this section is due to the fact that the water does not get warm enough for the bass to spawn. This is one of the most logical sounding reasons 1 have heard to explain the lack of bass. It is passible to make a simple and I very inexpensive device which I will cause the water temperature i to rise in the pond. Only the water near the surface of a pond moves or circulates in a pond with the conventional type of overflow pipe. The water under the surface circulates very little and as a result it is not warmed by the sun. Diving into the deep end of a pond is all it takes to prove that the water is colder deeper in the pond. This simple addition to the ordinary type over flow pipe will cause the water deep in the pond to flow out rather than the surface water. A circulation is set up in the pond and all of the water will becomes nearer to the same tem perature. Any farm pond owner who is willing to test this type over flow pipe can get plans for build ing it from the Soil Conservation Service office. It consists merely of an additional length of pipe which opens under the surface of the water. It would be interest ing to see if such a device is all that is necessary to assure good bass fishing in a farm pond. Gasoline Tax Refund Date For Farm Users Set September 30 is an important date ti most Cherokee County farmers. Hiat's the deadline to file for the federal gasoline tax refund which is available on. gas aline used on the farm between July 1, 1959, and June 30, 1960. Paul L. Nave, Cherokee County Agricultural Agent, reports thai the refund has been estimated at about $52 for the average eligible North Carolina farmer. "I am convinced," Nave added, "that there are many farmers in the county who neglect to claim this money to which they are entitled." Nave says gasoline used on a farm is subject to either a three or four-cent per gallon refund, depending on the date purchased. In order to file for a refund, you must own. be a tenant on, or operate a farm. If someone else uses their equipment, on your farm, you as owner, tenant or operator are considered the ultimate purchaser and eligible for the refund. Persons who file a claim must have records to support their claim upon request from the District Director o( Internal Revenue. Care must be taken not to in clude gasoline used on highways for personal or non-farming pur poses: or for processing, canning, packaging or freezing operations. The law provides penalties for those who file false or excess claims. Cherokee County farmers should send their claims to the District Director of Internal Revenue, Greensboro, N.C. Form 2240 is to be used in claiming thj refund. Farmeri who filed last year will receivc forms automatically. Other farm en may obtain forms with addi tional information from theb county agricultural agent or bj writing the District Director o! Internal Revenue. PUBLIC RECORDS W L. Clonts, to Tom and Has?
