Club will
have their first trail ride Sat
urday, April 24, beginning at
8:00 a.m. Anyone inters ited
and would like to have further
information should call 877
3916 after 6:00 pm. This is a
new club, and they are very
interested in securing new
members.
Rumors stating that the Flor
ida corn crop is experiencing
an epidemic of Southern Corn
Leaf Blight on T & N Cyto
plasm is totally false. Few
plantings of field corn exists in
South Florida. Most of the corn
plantings is sweet corn, and is
sprayed with fungicides. Those
fields of corn which were plant
ed for the most part were
planted with Normal Cyto
plasm. Those who cannot meet
enough normal corn will grpw
other scrops such as soybeans
and jtorghum.
^»At the present time the
Southern Corn Leaf Blight is of
no consequence to corn pro
duction in Florida.

Dear Sir:
This letter is intended to draw the at
tention of every Transylvanian to the un
fortunate destruction of Cathey’s Creek.
This area has become subjected to intense
logging operations which have stripped the
land and water pf its beauty. Cathey’s Creek
has become pitifully clouded with an over
abundance of mud and algae from its head
waters near Gloucester Gap down to the
mouth at the French Broad River. Logging
reads have replaced some of the county’s
most scenic trails that wind up to and near
Cedar Rock. The red, barren lands are also
quite visible to anyone traveling the Art
Loeb Trail.
If you, the people of Transylvania Coun
ty, have any desire to save Cathey’s Creek,
action must not be delayed. If you care,
please write to the proper authorities and
show your concern. Voice your opinion.
I can’t tell you what it means to a 17
year old boy to see parts of his country de
stroyed. I’m doing everything I can to pre
vent this from continuing; but, my power is
very limited. Won’t you please HELP?

Wildlife areas: Every farm in
the county should have a wild
life area established on it. Most
farms have at least one area
along the edge of the woods
that because of the shade,
erosion or rough rocky places,
will not grow crops or pasture.
These areas can be planted to
serecia lespedeza and one of the
shrub lespedesas. Also, other
annual plantings can be made
to furnish food.
.•'lshponds: It is believed
that about half of the farms in
the county could have fish
ponds constructed on them.
This would not only add to the
attractiveness of the farm and
furnish water for livestock and
possibly for irrigation but will
also furnish a valuable supple
ment to the food supply.
Multiflora Rose: The Multi
flora Rose has a berry that
hangs on the bush most of the
winter which is good bird food.
Also, the plant makes an ideal
cover for quail, pheasants and
song birds and gives them badly
needed cover in nesting sea
sons. This plant could he set
along the aide of an old fence
that is good for only a few more
yearn to replace the present
fence or set on the contour to
help prevent washing and to
servp as a passageway for wild
life between two wildlife habi
tats.
Observe game laws: It Is the
duty of every citizen in the
county to observe all the game
lawa at all times, because these
laws are designed, not to pre
vent hunting and fishings but to
promote more game so that
more hunting and fishing can
be done. Abo, it b everyone’s
duty to help prevent '*|m
which are one of wildfte’s
worst enemies.
