Thinning out an overcrowded
stand of pine trees will pay big
dividends in the long run.
Removing the dead, crippled,
and overcrowded trees leaves the
potential timber to develop prop
erly In the shortest possible
time.
Rufus H. Page, Jr., assistant
extension forester at State Col
lege, has pointed out a stand of
pine on the farm of K. C. Wood
ard in Johnston county as a good
example of what thinning will do
for a timber tract.
The trees in Woodard’s stand
are of approximately the same
age. Five years ago he thinned
one-third of his stand. Two years
ago he thinned another third,
leaving the remaining third un
touched. In the area first thin
ned are many trees 10 inches in
diameter at breast height. In the
second area are only a few trees
which will measure that size.
In the untouched part of the
timber stand, none of the trees
have attained a diameter of 10
ifiches at breast height, and many
of them are less than half the
average diameter of the trees in
the fwo stands which have boon
thinned.
The inferior trees removed
from the stand in the thinning
process were cut into cordwood
which was worth far more than
the cost of the work. Page said.
And the better trees were left
to grow into valuable timber
which will bring Woodard a good
profit in a few years.
“If you don’t think that thin
ning pays,” Page remarked, "just
ask any of the Johnston county
farmers "who have seen Wood
ard’s pines,”
Here is a recent picture of Joe
Louis, negro heavyweight who is
apperently headed for the box
ing championship. He defeated
Paulino Uzcudun, -Spaniard, in
four rounds Friday night.

Washington, tiec. 15.—-On the
eve of the assembling of the Re
publican national committee to
arrange the time and plac© for
holding their national conven
tion, a number of the party lead
ers, after sleeping cn the propo
sition a couple of nights, found
themsclv'es able to view the
Townsend old age pension move
ment with a greater degree of
composure. Some of them say it
the pension planners make a real
third party movement of it, as
Dr. Townsend now promises, it
will probably prove less of a me
nace to the established party or
ganization, since it is the history
of such party movements that
they soon run their course. The
fear remains, however, that they
will throw their support to the
regular Democratic or Republi
can nominees where they hold
the balance of power, or get a
commitment of support, and thus
add materially to their support
in the house and senate.
J It still looks like Cleveland as
*the place for holding the next
Republican convention. The Ohio
Republicans are ringing the
changes on the point that the
convention should be held in
neutral territory, which argu
ment, if successful, would take
the convention from Chicago of
Colonel Knox, and from Kansas
City, In the heart of the section
where Landon sentiment abounds.

Pelham, N. H., Dec. 15.—Two
men crossing White pond on the
ice fell through and drowned late
today. A third man, going to
their rescue, also perished, while
a fourth narrowly escaped.
The dead:
Jack Asmey, 26, Lawrence,
Mass.
Benjamin Skushevich. 20, also
of I.awrence.
Alex Gardner, 65, Pelham Cen
ter, N. H.
The two Lawrence men had
come to the small pond to fish
through the Ice, and as dusk was
falling set out to cross on the
ice to visit a friend, Robert Kas-
quel, also of Lawrence, who had
a hut on the opposite shore.
As they crashed through the
ice and called for help, Gardner,
going by on the shore, went to
their rescue. He, too, broke
through.
Edward Ducharme, also of
Lawrence, saw the plight and
rushed to the scene. He narrowly
escaped a similar fate while at
tempting a rescue.
Farmers who do not keep rec
ords are unable to tell just where
they stand.
They may think they are mak
ing a profit when, actually, they
are losing money, says R. E. L.
Greene, assistant in farm man
agement research for the North
Carolina agricultural experiment
station.
Running a business without
records, it has been said, is like
running a clock without hands.
In either case, the thing is run
ning—but where and how?
Farm records, Greene pointed
out, are a basis for an intelli
gent study of the business, they
give the Initormatlon necessary
to make an accurate credit
statement, they show the results
of the yearlfi work, they indi
cate weak spots which need im
provement.
Although records may he start
ed at any time, It is usually more
convenient to stgit them early In
January. At ’^this time feed 'and
crop supplies ai’fi low and it is
easy to take liiventory. Also,
most farmers are not as busy at
this time as they are later on.
Grwne suggests that growers
who are-not already keeping rec
ords shouUi . plau now to - start
them the first of the year. N. C.
State College- has deafened-• i‘ec-j
ord book especiully fer the.,^’orth j
Carolina farmer, and it will he’
an aid tip 'keepi;;j the proper
kind of records, he added,
Coeisn^of the book may be se-
cur^ frern the department of
agricultural ecoaemles at State
College, by those persons keeping'
records -M “a. demdnstmtion with '
that department.
County agents or hlg^ school
agricultutraT teachers w’ni -be- glad
to assist farmers get "their rec
ords starts."
QUESTION AND ANSWER'
Question; How can I increase
egg production in my poultry
flock?
Answer: ilan:^ pdultrymen are
getting higher,,-, prijduction by
feeding only a small-.arnount of ^
grain in the morning and the re-!
malnder at night. The morning
grain is fed in a clean litter
from four to.six Inches deep and
consists of about one pound of
grain for each 100 hens. The
afternoon feeding is put in
troughs. The practice of feeding
grain at different jinlervals ,of
the day, especially during the
winter months, increases the ac
tivity of the birds, overcomes
idleness, and Indirectly increas
es feed consumption. The combi
nation of these tends to give an
increase in egg production.

Kellogg Flays F. R.’s
Request For New Law
Washington, Dec. 13.—Frank
B. Kellogg, former Secretary of
State, co-author of the Kellogg-
Briand pact, and winner of the
Nobel peace prize, today slashed
at proposals to broaden the
Amercan neutrality policy to in
clude embargoes on war mater
ials, such as oil. Iron, and steel.
Speaking a short time after
President Roosevelt had said new
neutrality legislation would be
sought in the approaching Con
gress, Kellogg said:
‘T don’t see any necessity wr
any further legislation on the
neutrality question at all.
