Ci HINTS TO Farm Folks For a fireplace fire that gives cheer and comfort in winter and also burns wood most efficiently, foresters of the U. S. Department of Agriculture offer some sugges tionj. It is a mistake, they say, for the excessively neat house' wife to keep all ashes cleaned from the fireplace. The ashes should be kept level with the andirons to provide a bed for glowing charcoal which will yield steady heat and help ignite new logs as they are added. Before laying the fire, put one log on the floor of the hearth against the back wall and behind the andirons. This4 backlog keeps the draft from drawing the fire directly into the masonry and wasting heat. Split wood kindles more easily than whole round logs. Softwoods from cone-bearing trees make a quicker and hotter fire but also a shorter-lastipg fire than hardwoods. The lighter hardwoods make a hotter and shorter-lasing fire than the heav ier hardwoods. Woods that give the most heat for their weight are: oak, hickory, sweet birch, hard maple, rock elm, locust and longleaf pine. A combination of hard and soft wood, such as oak and pine together, makes a successful fire. Woods that throw off sparks are chestnut, butternut, tamarack and spruce. These should burn only behind a screen. Green wood is poor in heat value because of the ville, entered as a medical pa tient on Monday. A. O Simmons, of Ash, en tered on Monday as a medical patient. moisture it contains. Anywhere from 25 to more than 50 percent of the weight of green, wood is water, depending on the variety. The heat required to drive off this moisture is lost as far as warming the room is concerned. Dry seasoned wood kindles more quickly and is easier to tend anil regulate than wet or green wood. Drying wood for n short time is better than not drying it at all. To hasten dry ing. split the green logs into small sticks. Another disadvant age of green wood is that it leaves more creosote, soot and other deposits in the chimney than dry wood. Foresters say that if green wood must be used, it should be put on a hot fire. Want To Grow Fishing Worms RALEIGH.? Would you like tfl grow some fishing worms? Without cracking a smile, the Museum division of the State De partment of Agriculture has re leased detailed information on how to grow earthworms ? fish ing worms to you. Frank Meacham, Zoologist and author of the treatise, declared that "in this, day of home or farm fish ponds, the lowly earth worm, or fishing worm, is rapid ly gaining in importance." "And, too, when one fishing party reports that $18 was spent for worms alone, it indicates somewhat the pecuniary value at tached to them," added Meach am. ( According to him, caution must be exercised in feeding worms 6o as to avoid over-feeding and having the unused feed souring the soil, causing damage to its inhabitants.

Farmer Makes Profit In Dairy An example of what a farm er, operating on a small scale, can do with a few dairy cows, is demonstrated by Guy Anderson of Brasstown, Cherokee County. Since August 1, Anderson's milk checks from these four dairy cows have totaled $329.78, after his haul bill was deducted. In addition to the milk sold off his farm, two and a half gallons per day were used for home con sumption. | From August 1 to December 31, Anderson spent ....68.75 for feed and the rest was grown on the farm. Part of this feed went to his dry cattle and calves, ex plains assistant farm agent, Lemuel Goode of the State Col lege Extension Service, so the cows producing milk didn't use this entire amount of feed. Anderson was one of the first farmers in the county to seed ladino clover on his farm. At the present time, he has seeded 21 acres of pasture and meadow to this clover. Results have been so good that Anderson plans to in clude it in all of his pasture mixtures. | Business Loans For Servicemen Business loan provisions of the i Servicemen's Readjustment Act J of 1944 have been broadened to permit any normal business enter j prise to be financed initially, Rob jert S.
