Our observations lead ns to believe that the woodland is the most abused portion of the average farm in this State. In these days of fast diminishing timber j supply, proper care and management of ! the woodlands, mean much, not only to the farmer himself, but to the country at large. We feel, therefore, that your interests, as well as ours, will be ma terially benefitted by observing, as far as practical, the following suggestions which have been outlined with the object of bringing about a better utilization of the wood and timber resources of this state. One of the surest and easiest wavs of j improving the quality of the woodland, ami at the same time increasing the amount of the annual growth, is to use care when cutting a few cords to pse or sell, or when taking out posts or lpmber for improvements on the farm buildings. While the amount of fuel cut yearly on the farm is small, averaging between ten and fifteen standard cords for home con sumption (the standard card is -Ix-ixN. and contains cubic feet ), this amount is taken out year after year, and may amount to a considerable part of the an nual growth of the woodland. Fifteen cords of wood is equivalent to the en tire annual growth of from In to (><> acres of woodland, depending on the, soil and the .species of trees. Cord wood is a relatively cheap and abundant forest product. while fence posts, railroad tics, telegraph poles and lumber are examples of more valuable products.' The more lumber and other high priced products that can be grown on the farm woodland, the greater the cash returns. AIL fuel wood should be . selected in such away that the area cut over is left in better condition to pro duce more of these higher grade prod ucts. How can this be accomplished? Observation of the following simple rules will go far towards increasing the cash returns from the woodlands. 1. Secure fuel wood, as far as possible, only from spwies which are not good timber producers, and trees which arc 1 diseased, or dying. 2. Obtain the necessary fuel wood ' through thinning operations instead of cutting clean a small area. Several kinds of thinnings will prove use/ul. Sometimes the thinning should remove hardwood trees which are overtopping a more valuable species, such as pine. 1 Some times in a dense.-regular growth of hardwood or pine, the thinning takes the > smaller and medium sized trees and . leaves'the bigger trees to grow without • crowding. H. An area should be cut clear for fuel wood only where the forest is com posed entirely of trees like myrtle, al der. sweet bay and sumac, which do not . grow tu timber size, or else is on such • poor soil that trees of timber size can , nth be produced. Even where a species | inferior for timber is abundant, there are likely to be in mixture some promis ing trees of better species. Such trees 1 should-be reserved to grow into timber. . 4. Cut fuel food, not where easiest • to get. but where such cutting will ef j feet the greatest improvement in the wobdland. 1 f>. In most cases, pasturing mater ially dantages the woodlands, especially hardwoods, through destruction of the young trees which should be permitted to grow, to take the place of those 111a ' turing. The amount of pasturage af forded by good woodbind is small, aTnd the damage done t/> the young growth by browsing cattle is great. (Just notice - the difference in pastured ami uupas ■ tured woodland in your neighborhood.) <5. Protect your woodland from fire. Every time a fire runs through wood laud. damage is not only done to the larg er tress, but a great number of young trees are killed. AY here, for any reason woodland is subject to a fire risk great r or than the average, the loanable value of the lot is very much reduced. Strict , observance of the state fire laws will ma terially lessen your fire risk. Growing a good crop of timber re quires knowledge and skill just as does the production of a good farm crop. You cannot produce the latter without care and effort. It is equally absurd to ex pect that woodlands can be maintained in excellent condition - without careful attention to details. The Forestry Department of the Ex tension Service of the State College and Department of Agriculture is prepared to give additional information by corre spondence and demonstrations arranged for by county agents. This will be without cost. In cases where it is di 1 - sired and considered advisably arrange ments can be made for personal visits to the farm and show by actual instruc tions the most satisfactory and approv ed methods of managing and developing a piece of timber land. The cost of this jiersonal visit will be borne by the own er himself. It is small, however, involv ing only his expense of travel and sub sistence. as the State pays his salary. XVe would again emphasize that we believe the wood and timber resources on the average farm are not fully realized, and are, in only a very few cases, de veloped in a systematic* way. If you plan to borrow money from the Federal Land Bank, or other banks, for a long period of years we believe that iii many instances the growing wood and timber, if properly handled, will, over this per iod of years,, prove not only a great help in meeting the regular installments, but in time may so develop as to pay off s'our loan in full.

I { THE CONCORD TIMES FRUIT GROWING IN NORTH CAROLINA Interesting Report of the Weather Bu reau of the Department of Agricul ture. ' Raleigh. N. (.’., May 20.—The ther mal belts of Western North Carolina and* their relation to fruit growing is the central theme of a new 100 page report by the Weather Bureau of the! United States Department of Agricul ture. a copy of which has just been j received by Director B. W. Kilgore of the North Carolina Experiment Sta tion. The authors of this publication are "Henry J. Cox, Meteorologist of the Bureau, and Prof. A. B. Hutt. for years in charge of the horticultural work of the North Carolina Experi ment Station and Department of Ag riculture. The report has a number of photo graphs showing orchard, seventh in Western North Carolina, many draw ings showing the location of observa tion points and field stations, tables giving the different temperatures of that section, topographic maps, and other items of importance to persons interested in fruit growing in Western North Carolina. The bulletin discusses the fruit growing area in which there is little dew and little frost or freezing on the eastern mountain slopes of Western North Carolina. Itjdiows how differ ent contours, table lands, valley floors or knobs affect the nocturnal breezes which keep the air from becoming still and the drainage which protects the fruit on cold nights, preventing the buds from freezing or lieing nipped by frost. The publication embraces years of study ‘of this phenomena and, ac cording to I)r. Kilgore, is one of the most interesting scientific publications recently issued relating to the future of future of fruit growing in that sec tion. After discussing the phenomena of :he thermal belts, one of tlit* authors, Mr. (’ox, says: "An ideal slope for fruit growing is' one of moderate elevation above sea level, the basic altitude varying of course in different portions of the country, fairly steep and culminating in a knob with no surrounding moun tains. or if any, tit least situated so far distant as to have no effect upon the temperature conditions of the slopes involved, such as Tryon, which warm because of the absence of oppos i ' i DO YOU KNOW How to Bank ARE you familiar with the services which the various departments of a bank can render j you—and do you know how to use them to the best advantage ?

Paris. May 24.—Premier Poincare and his colleagues in the cabinet today Aihmitted their resignations to Presi dent Millerand, but the president de clined to accept them. The action of (ho ministers was the, outcome of the refusal of the Senate to proceed with the trial of Marcel Cachin and other communists charged with illegal acts against the French republic. M. Poincare informed the correspondents that he interpreted the vote in the Senate as proof of want of confidence in the cabinet, which made it impossible fpr the ministry to act against communist plonts.
