Forest Pro- , ducts Laboratory, every fall from farmers having a small number of logs to cut from their woodlands, wanting to know if the time of the year in which trees are cut makes any difference in the durability of the timber cut from t i these trees. The Laboratory says that many of the theories which have been given regarding the durability of wood place too much importance on the time of cutting. As a matter of fact, the time of cutting has very little efefct upon the durability or other properties if the timber is properly cared ; for after it is cut. The method of handling posts, poles, and logs at different times of the year, however, does influence their durability. Posts, poles, and longs cut [ in late spring and early sum! mer are more likely to be at| tacked by insects and fungi be- i cause the wood is freshly cut and in the most favorable condition for attack at a time when insects and the spores of fungi are most active. Seasoni ing also proceeds more rapidly during the warmer months and may cause excessive checking. If the wood is peeled when cut vffi V 1 A Gooc -PAGES TODAY ~ ?0 VIBER HARVEST MB8HE ?9R|^?jK|8^ Dense Timber Should Be tand of pine (left, above), b: xpected to make good growtl lied because of overcrowding, or pulpwood but now represe Proper Method Of Cutti Id stand of pine (same stand ed for pulpwood, (right, abc ormed, or diseased trees wer Improper Method Of Cut aluable forest (below) has bi ng.

Last week the fire fighting >rces had a busy time suppres- j ng a fire which lay in back of | Ainnabow. Three times after it pparently had been brought un- ' sr control it broke out again. ' Warden Jones calls attention > the burning permit law which . dw is in effect. It is as follows: ! V Section 4311-a of the Consoli- t ited Statutes of North Carolina as amended 1939) provides that: "SECTION 1. It shall be un iwful for any person, firm or jrporation to start or cause to F e started any fire or ignite any laterial, in any qf the areas of 'oodlands under the protection of le State Forest Service or withl five hundred feet of any such rotected area, between the first ay of February and the first f ay of June, inclusive, or be- c veen the first day of October nd the thirteenth day of Nov- a .nber, inclusive, in any year, k ithout first obtaining from the p tate Forester or one of his duly tl uthorized agents a permit to set a ut fire or ignite any material h (Continu ,d on page 4) e: lation On ? rr*e 1 np w 1 imber 1 rees si and piled openly on skids for v seasoning opportunity for de- P cay will be reduced to a minimum, but checking will not tl be retarded. In no case should n the wood be allowed to lie in c direct contact with the ground. J? If checking is an important consideration it can be reduced somewhat by locating the piles n in shaded but dry place. The d bark peels most easily in the A spring. It can be removed at v any other time of the year h but the labor and expense will B probably be greater. ? Timber cut in late fall and winter seasons more slowly J and with less checking than C during the warmer months. C When proper storage or hand- u ling is impracticable, winter ? cutting is best. Fungi and in- ol sects do not attack wood out b of doors in cold weather, and h by the time warm weather ar- o rives the wood is partly sea- h soned and somewhat less sus- fi ceptible to attack. It is for b this reason that winter cutting P is advantageous and not on d account of a small amount of n moisture or sap in the wood tl in winter as the popular belief ^ has it. There is practically no V difference in moisture content F of green wood in winter and tl summer. HE I 1 News paper I uthport, N.

Administration's tenant purchase U irogram, it was explained here oday by W. M. Ginn, County ^SA Supervisor of Wilmington. Tenant purchase loans are nade for 40 years at three per y, :ent interest. Any farm tenant >r farm laborer is eligible to ap)ly. Loans will be approved, to he extent of available funds, to ipplicants who have the char- , icter, ability and experience ieemed necessary for successful arm ownership. Selection is made Ku >y the county tenant purchase iar :ommittee, composed of three jja sublic-spirited farmers who know ;ar 'arm people and farm land. m? Members of this committee are mi V. C. Gore, of Shallotte, A 0>c freston Henry of Winnabo^ and 3ennis R. Hewett of Supply, J. D. Dodson, county agent, is an ix-offico member, and the Farm WJ Security Administration super- T risor serves as executive secreary. Ginn stated that loans would 1 >e made only for the purchase if family type farms, which the ?unty committee approves as iconomically sound units, and P iroductive enough, when proper- " y operated, to provide a living or the applicant and his family. . "Under the tenant purchase " irogram, the farm has a dual ? ob", Ginn stated. "It must pro- ^ luce a living for the family, and inable them to repay the loan. Consequently, the family is called 01 ipon, more than ever, to follow 01 lound, efficient practices." "To help meet this need, we issist each borrower to lay out w lound management plans. Of a lartlcular importance are the teeping of accurate accounts, and he raising of as much as poslible of the family's food and ei eed for the livestock, on the f arm." " It was pointed out by the " lupervisor that the borrower does lot have to take the full 40 years " or repayment He may pay off lis loan in full any time after a he first five years. "The 40 year clause serves sj nainly to keep annual installnents down to a low figure", he ? explained. "Thus, the borrower is n irotected from too great a bur- " leh during the first few years v lefore he has had time to accu- a nulate reserves." ^ In selecting applicants for tl 'arms the county committee gives c' reference to those who own tHeir 01 ools and livestock with which to f( (Continued on page 4) 1 \ PIL munity PUBL1S1 iregg Cherry In Southpc ominent Party Leader W Thursday Evening In Cour R.
