Among Friends Of The Soil BY FRANK GLOVER (Editor's note: This is No. 14 ,in a scries. Your local Soil Con servation Service technician is out witn Farmer G to help him decide field-by-field and acre-by acre the best safe use for aach and to plan the needed treatment for soil and moisture' conserva tion!) ( Farmer G. "I guess that takes care of this r.eid. suppose we cross this stretch of woods here and save a little walking to the next field." Technician. "Fine?but wait a minute. Here's a strip of land ? along the edge next to the woods ! that is practically bare and I'm sure it cost you twice as much | money to farm it as you get out of the crop. Then, there is a little slope here and it's beginning to, wash a gully down the edge." | Farmer G. "That is just one of those things I hate to see, but if I back out away from the trees, others would come'up and in a few years I would have to movei again. My neighbors would make; all kinds of fun of me if I were to start backing away from the edge of the woods." Technician. "That is very true. However, if you planted a thick growth along the edge that wouldn't hurt your crop but would shade the ground and pre vent the woods edge from mov ing. Wouldn't that take care of it? It would stop the washing where water runs out the ends of the rows. As I once heard a farmer put it, "it would be be chickin' the ends of the rows." Farmer G. "It looks like the' cost of planting something every year would be a lot more than what I lose by failing to grow a worthwhile crop. Then it would seem to me this edge would al-; most always have to be broken separately from the field because1 the season of planting would noti be apt to fit with the planting of the other part of the field." Technician. "It would not re quire planting but once. If it . did have to be planted every year j it would, as you say, cost too much and probably do more harm | while freshly broken than it' would do good." I Farmer G. "What would you plant, then ?" j Technician, pacing the distance from the edge of the trees out to where the field crop begins to ' get normal in size. "You have a ; strip here about 30 feet wide that j ! you farm at a loss. I would sug- j j gest putting half of it next to i the woods in bicqjor lespedeza I which makes a sort of bush. The j j outside half would go into sericea, lespedeza. Both would be more or less permanent. The sericea is killed by frost down to the ground, but the roots live on. j The roots of the bicolor also live over the winter and In addition, the heavier parts of the plant; stalks. So the bushes of the bi-| color get a little larger every year but never make trees. There are several advantages, too, besides, "Chinkin' the row ends and sav ing money where your ordinary crops can only be grown at a loss. Farmer G. "I think you have mentioned enough advantages al ready, but what others would there be?" Technician. "In case a fire got started in the woods here and the wind were blowing from this direction, the sericea, closest to the ground, then the bush les pedeza and then trees, all this gradual rise would tend to raise the wind from the ground. The full force might skip the ground fire entirely and make putting the blaze out much easier. It would burn slower and travel slower. "Another advantage is that birds and small game animals can find cover in such a border. Both the sericea and bicolor make seed that birds will eat. Bicolor seed are especially liked by quail, and many of them stick on fairly late in the winter. In case of a snow they would be up high enough not to be covered." Farmer G. "That sort of bor der is just what I need here. Mark that down on your map." (Editor's note: In No. 15 we will look in on Farmer H. and the technician as they talk about woodland management.) AMERICANS BURN ONE BILLION FAGS ON EVERY DAY OF YEAR American smokers are now consuming nearly a billion cig arettes a day. The wartime business boom gave a terrific boost to cigarette smoking, especially among teen agers and women with good pay ing jobs. Sales of factory-made cigarettes jumped from 172,00<f. 000,000 In 1939 to 352,000.000,000 more than doubled in 1946. Thirty-five years ago the re spectable cigar-smoking business man regarded the smoker of a factory-made cigarette as a sort ; of social outcast. Back in the spitoon area many members of Congress were tobac co chewers and proud of it. Typi [cal newspaper advertisement of the period pictured Speaker Joseph Cannon of Illinois with caption: "The Thinking Men of America?Twist." Today the factory-made cigar ette not only has wide social ac ceptance but it is a sizeable item in the national economy.

GLADYS' CAFE & DRIVE-IN U. S. No. 17 ? At GRISSETTOWN estimated that the cigarette tax Increases the U. S. Labor De partment's consumer price index j by nearly one per cent, i In 1946 American consumers: ! paid a total of ?3,400,000,000 for J tobacco products and smoking supplies. The 1929 expenditure for tobacco products was $1,700,-: j 000,000. I Treasury tax experts, who re-| cently made a stydy qf tobacco use, report that cigarettes in 1946 accounted for 77 per cent of j the total tobacco used in pro- j duction. Back in 1915 cigarettes accounted for only 10 per cent. The use of cigars and pipe to bacco has had a big drop in the last 30 years. Cigar smoking in this country reached a peak of 8 100,000,000 cigars in 1920, the silk shift year. It dropped to 4.592,000,000 in depression 1933, picked up some in the years im mediately before and during the war. K Government research experts say there has been "a slgnificent decline" In cigar consumption since February, 1947. They ex plain that recent increases in, the cost of living may have af fected the demahd for cigars. Consumers recently were pay ing six cents apiece for cigars which before the war sold at two for five cents, an increase of 140 per cent. Changes in smokers' income or in the price of cigarettes seem to have had only moderate ef fect on the demand. Between 1929 and 1943, a period which in-! eluded many depression years,' average changes in volume of! cigarettes consumed were less age changes in income levels. Other government surveys have indicated that in hard times many people cut clothing and even food purchases before reducing their customary purchases ,of cigarettes and gasoline. MOVES TO NEW HOME Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Elliott of Rocky Mount have moved to Southport into the Barnett home which they recently purchased. Mr. Elliott has spent many years in the office of the Atlantic Coast Line at Rocky Mount and is now retiring. RETURN FROM VISIT Mrs. Arthur Cromer and Mrs. Jimmie Woltz have returned to their homes at Long Beach after a week's visit with friends in Spartanburg, S. C. MOVE HERE Chief Warrant- Officer Harry E. Johnson, in charge of the Oak Island Coast Guard Station for the past year, has moved his family to Southport from Nor folk. He has secured the Bob Roberts home next door to the E. H. Arrington residence. , Extension Service Gives Aid To Farmers In Protecting Woodland ? t Assistance Rendered In De veloping Systematic Pro gram Of Farm Manage ment, Harvesting, Mar keting Of Timber Crops (From The N. C. State Extension Service Annual Report, "Changing Times") Extension has always recogniz ed the value of f&rm timber; and, there/ore, has given valuable as sistance to farmers In protecting their forests and managing them through systematic harvest. Continued assistance was given farmers during the year in de veloping a systematic program of forest management, protection and harvest of timber crops and In the marketing of forest pro ducts with the long-time goal of making the farm woods a perm anent producing part of a balanc ed economic farming enterprise. With the great demand for lumber to be used in buildings, a tremendous amount of farm tim ber had to be harvested. To in sure meeting present and future timber needs, Extension aided in a program to cut farm timber carefully. Extension foresters and county farm foresters gave assistance to 471 farmers in selecting, marking and caling or otherwise estimat ing 59,705,000 board feet of saw timber, 5,172,000 board feet of veneer logs, 9 328 cords of pulp wood and 1,320 cords of fuel wood. During the year, sales of marked and estimated timber re ported by 337 farmers amounted to $883,165 and covered the fol lowing timber volumes: sawtim ber, 51,305,000 board feet; veneer timber, C 286 board feet; piling, 1100 pieces; pulpwood, 12,555 j cords; fuel wood, 1,306 cords, and I other minor products. In addition, 'county agents in 60 counties gave assistance to 1,319 farmers in the sale or purchase of forest pro ducts amounting to $1,617,331. To carry this assistance to the farmers, the Extension forester? traveled 32,141 miles, held 180 meetings which were attended by more than 8,000 farmers, and distributed more than 254,000 bulletins, leaflets, posters and folders through the mail and at meetings and demonstrations. As a result of Extension's ef forts in forest fire prevention, 68 county agents report 44,025 farm ers who followed preventative measures. Special attention was also given to these farmers in protecting forests against dis ease and insects. Controlling erosion through; tree planting proved to be very popular to many farmers in the piedmont and mountain counties. Extension assisted 29 ffimrers in Cabarrus County with * planting 84,000 trees, 7 farmers in Ran dolph County with planting 57, 500 trees and 41 farmer* in the TV A counties with planting H6, 000 trees. These are just f few of the counties where ffwmers turned to these recommended practices. 1 SALE OF LAMP FOR TAXES City of Soutbport, N, C, Notice is hereby given that I Jiaye ihls day levied on the following de scribed real estate situated within the corporate? limits 61 the City 61 ooum* port, N.
