INTERESTING ARTICLE
IS COMPOSED BY
YOUNG BANKS
' Pendleton Banks, the 10-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Banks,
and grandson of Mr. and Mrs. E. R.
Pendleton, has written a timely ar
ticle cn garbage and its disposal, a
copy of which is printed beiow.
Young Pendleton is in the sixth
grade at the Brevard grammar
school, and hows marked ability in
literary and other lines of edu
cation for one so youthful. ,
Following is Pendleton’s article: ;
Garbage
In this article I have tried to
cover plainly the two subjects, j
namely: (1) The removal and (2) i
disp . al of garbage in Brevard.
First Removal
1 have noticed that everywhere in
Brevard people are having to dis-l
figure their backyards with piles of'
garbage because of the backward
ness of Brevard in securing and j
maintaining a garbage removal sys
tem. 1 don’t care to criticize the I
management of Brevard but I do j
think that the garbage could be re-!
moved at least twice a week. I
have ■:cen very striking examples of'
garbage service and 1 wish Brevard
would follow these examples.
Second Disposal
I hate to see beautiful valleys dis-;
figured with ugly garbaige dumps.:
Dump your garbage in such places'
as old wells and deserted gold mines |
(the latter referring to “up Kings
Creek.”) Brevard is supposed to bo
a town of beautiful scenery, but j
it won’t continue to be so very long!
if every valley harbors a garbage'
dump. And when you do dump your
garbage, cover it with leaves or
sawdust.

FARMER NOW HAS j
HIS BEST CHANGE I
FOR RECOGNITION!
The following timely article was
written by an authority at Clemson
college primarily for cotton growers
of Seuth Carolina, but is equally ap
plicable to Transylvania farmers:
Clemson College, March 12—Re
stating a former suggestion that
South Carolina farmers have in the
cotton acreage adjustment campaign
the finest oppotunity they have ever
had to establish themselves in a
well planned (»nd sound system of
farming and farm living, Dr. W. W.
Long, director of the extension ser
vice, urges that farmers enter with
out delay into a program of soil
building and sustenance farming,
along with wise cash crop produc
tion, and thus secure in time a full
measure of well being and security.
Answering first of all the often
asked question of farmers regarding
what can be done with land rented
to the government. Dr. Long quotes
the cotton contract, which provides
the following uses for the land
taken out of cotton production:
"Soil-improving crops; erosiion
preventing crops; food crops for
consumption by the producer on his
farm; feed crops for the production
of livestock or livestock products
for consumption or use by the pro
ducer on his farm; or following; or
such other uses' as may be permit
ted by the secretary or his author
ized agent.’’
Mncc it is clear, men, uiui
farmer cannot grow on the contract
ed acres any crop for sale directly
or indirectly. Dr. Long calls atten
ti< n to the importance of what J.
I’hi! Campbell, of the Replacement
Crops Section, A.A.A., says on thej
first step towards a sounder system'
of farming:
“The first thought of the farmer
who signs a contract should be to!
use as much of the contracted acres
as possible in such manner as will
conserve fertility, and thus enable
him, in the future, to obtain great
er returns from his farm by produc
ing on it the amount of farm giods
which he can sell and use profit
ably. and produce them with the
lowest possible labor and cash out
lay. A profitable farm furnishes its
owner and his family a good living, i
and each year becomes a better and|
better family home. However, much;
of the lands' in cotton have bten fori
a long time getting poorer and poor
er each year as a result of clean
cultivation. The wise farmer, there-J
fere, will see in this plan the op-,
portunity of a lifetime to use a
large portion of his land for soil
improvement crops, erosion-preven
tion crops, and pasture and meadow
crons as a first step in readjusting
his program.”

CATTLE GRAZING
HURTS WOODLANDS
Grazing in woodlands is harmful
;o both the cattle and the timber,
warns R. W. Graeber, extension
forester at N. C. State College.
• In wooded tracts, cattle waste
their energy and reduce their body
weight roving in endless searches for
grass. And at the same time they
prevent young saplings from growing
up to renew the older trees that
either die out or are cut . off for
wood or lumber.
Unrestricted grazing also damages
timber already standing and is bad
on the soil. Timber growth is slow
ed, the quality of the timber lower
ed. Tops die, roots and butts rot,
and much timber that would other
wise be good has to be discarded
when the trees are cut for market.
Cattle relish the foliage of white
ash, sugar maple, yellow popular,
elm, basswood, white oak, red oak,
shell bark hickory, and other of the
more valuable timbers. The result
is that the animals browse off the
saplings before they can grow to
any appreciable size. Other sap
lings that are not eaten are liable
to be trampled down.
Generally, Graeber said, the bet
ter quality woods are preferred by
the cattle, while the poorer woods
are left to grow', thereby lowering
the quality of the timber in the
stand.
Cattle also cut up the leaf litter,
pack the soil, expose the roots, and
start little gullies. The result is
that little rain water is absorbed. It
runs off quickly in rivulets which
start erosion. With less water in the
soil and the fertile elements washed
away timber growth is stunted.
Next to fire, grazing is the most
detrimental agent to woodlands,
flrseber declared.
