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.

The Kittyhawk, Captain John ( Swrann, was tied up at the gov- I ernment dock at 8 o'clock and [i number of local citizens called during the evening to pay Ihelr respects to the senator. This Is a trip combining busi- I ness and pleasure, he says, and he had hoped to get In some Fishing while here.

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.
