Man Visits Tryon to
Help Save $725,000
J. R. Spratt of Asheville, State
Forestry service, was in Polk
County on Tuesday stimulating
interest in the conservation of
North Carolina’s forests and pro
tecting them from fire hazzards.
Gov. J. Melville Broughton has
named this week as “Forest Pro
tection Week.”
Mr. Spratt, who came to Tryon
to confer with Carroll P. Rogers,
member of the State Conservation
and Development Board, stated
that North Carolina is the larg
est lumber producing state in the
South and that approximately two
thirds of the state’s area 18,-
000,000 acres, is in timberland,
and that the pay roll amounts to
millions of dollars yearly. Mr.
Pratt said that Polk County’s tim
ber area was probably more than
two-thirds of the county’s area.
In a letter from Raleigh, Paul
Kelly, assistant state director of
the conservation and development
board, said, “During the current
week we are endavoring to call
the attention of the public through
every practical medium to the
critical situation with regard to
forest fires, which will probably
not be alleviated until long,
drenching rains are had through
out the State.”

forests are now, the Tryon Fire
Department was called out Sat

green honeysuckle vines on the
Oak Hall bank near the Rock
House Art Gallery. The fire was
