GOVERNMENT \ssociation Says It Will Cooperate 100 Per Cent In Efforts To Market The Crop Most Advantageously MULLINS, May 10. ? The South Carolina Belt Warehouse association, which includes the twrder markets of North Carolina, held a meeting, last week called by the president, W. Wesley Singletary of Lake City, S. C., In Mullins. All but one of the markets in the belt were represented. The warehousemen went on record to co-operate with the government 100 percent in its efforts to market this year's tobacco crop in the most advantageous way under the conditions brought about by the war. The tobacco crop in this belt is the most important money crop for farmers, but all members of the association recognize the fact that most important thing is to win this war and to carry on behind the lines in the best way possible with the shortage of man power.

Several grain farmers were moaning because of the dry spell, and the business of completing setting tobacco plants was at a standstill. Victory gardeners, too, were glad to see the relief from drought. Forest wardens, who have been having a tough time lately keeping fires under control, were given a chance to sit back and catch their breath. Pilot Training For Lt. Brown First Lt. Earl 1.

Brunswick em Road Sold Short Line From Navassa To Southport Sold By E. F. Middleton, Receiver; Conformation Awaited SPECULATION OVER FATE OF RAILROAD There Is Hope That The Road May Be Rehabilitated And Operated By Purchasers, A New York Firm The Wilmington, Brunswick and Southern Railroad, a short line from Navassa to Southport, has been sold by E. F. Middleton, receiver, to a New York firm of Industrial Operators, headed by a Mr. Frcdeberg. The transaction took place several days ago but no announcement has been made, pending an unsuccessful effort to obtain some details of the plans that the company may have. The road was to have been sold at public receivers sale the last of this month, under orders from Judge H. A. Grady, who has repeatedly stated his hope of saving the road in some manner. After notice of the sale had been given two publications the advertisement was cancelled and it was announced that the road had been sold to the New York infawoofa THia q?1a would. natural ly, have the sanction of Judge Grady. No purchase price has been announced. Likewise there has been no public statement of intentions of the new owners. In addition to being general industrial operators, they are credited with operating three other short line railroads and with having needed equipment for the local road.

Rice Gwynn, Longwood Landowner And Merch-> ) ant, Will Follow Latest Principals Of Selective Cutting In Harvesting Timber ABOUT 4,000,000 BOARD FEET CUT Every Tree Will be Man* ; ed, And Pulpwood Men Will Follow Up To , Clear Up Waste Forest Products ; By W. B. K?ZIAH Rice Gwynn, business man and farmer of Longwood, is starting a selective cut project for saw timber and pulpwood that should appeal to farmers and land owners throughout lower North Carolina and upper South Carolina. The tract on which the .< big demonstration is being made ( embraces sixtcen-hundred acres. Men trained in forestry will go through the tract, selecting each tree that is to be cut for saw Um- I ber. These trees will be marked with white paint for identification . by the men with axes and saw. / Timber cruisers have set the amount of saw timber that will be taken out at 4 million board feet, j and there will be about the same amount left for a future cut AU trees that are left growing will be thrifty, fast growing slock tnn. of which another cut of saw logs can be made in ten years from J now. Following the men who cut down and cut out the stock for . the sawmills will be another body J of woodsmen who are expected to 1m get three-thousand cords of pulpwood from the fallen tops and L limbs. Within this they will also i get another two thousand cords of ' the same wood from diseased trees and trees where things are too crowded to make good growth. 1 Not last or least, the slabs from the saw mill will be saved for pulpwood and an estimated three thousand cords will be saved In I this manner. ? All lumber, all pulpwood, will go into the war effort. In a way ? of speaking, the selective cutting of this timber is a national de- ' fcnse project. ,> Another angle to the demonst- * ration is that Mr. Gwynn is plow- j ing fire lines throughout all this and other timber. He will keep ' these fire lines planted in peas, or some other crop that will afford a constant source of food for quail and wild life. H. E. Blanchard, farm forestry agent for Columbus and Brunswick counties, is intensely interested in the project. Selective cutting of timber has been demonstrated many times in both counties. From the standpoint of . both economy and profit, there is no question of the method being ideal for the harvesting of timMf by both large and small land owners. The Gwynn project, ap- t' cording to Mr. Blanchard, is per- , haps the largest individual seieo I J tive cutting undertaking that has III ever been started in North or South Carolina. The land ilea on $ the borders of the two states. ! County Agent J. E. Dodsoh, * who is also converted to the vahia of growing timber as a farm i crop, is also intensely interested in this big project. Within the next few days the county agent and Blanchard are planning to take Garland B. Porter, manage* of the State News Bureau, his cameraman, Ben M. Patrick and the writer for a tour of the Gwynn woods and 'an inspection ( of the project "This selective cutting is the way that timber owners neid to handle their i' woods," said Mr. Blanchard ill a letter to the Southport man.
