Mitchell Leads In Volume Of Timber Sales For Past Year Continuing' leadership among six districts, the Mt, Mitchell Ranger District with headquarters at Mari on, N. C., accounted for well over one-third of the volume of timber sold and cut from the Pisgah-Croa tan National Forest during 1948, according to statistics compiled at the office of Forest Supervisor Carl G. Krueger in Asheville. Of the 22,897,000 board feet of •timber cut from the forest last year, 7,975,000 board feet were cut from the Mt. Mitchell district, lying in McDowell, Yancey, and Mitchell counties. A continuing high pro duction is indicated this year since 1948 sales showed 10,761,000 board feet on this district out of a total forest sale of 24,957,000. The value of timber cut from the Pisgah-Croatan last year was $180, 852.00 for an average of $7.90 per thousand board feet. The Mt. Mit chell district average was $8.73, ranking third behind the Uwhai'rie district average of $18.69 and the Grandfather district's $13.41 aver age. Of the 25 million feet sold on the forest during 1948, chestnut still retains the lead in volume on three mountain districts, with yellow pop lar, white pine, and northern red oak the best prices. On the Uwhar rie district of the Piedmont and the Croatan district of the Atlantic sea board, southern yellow pines are the important tree crop, both in volume and value. The relative importance of chest nut in timber production is 'decreas ing rapidly, however. Foresters and pulpwood buyers predict that sound chestnut wood will be exceedingly scarce in two or three more years. By that time, thinnings in young hardwood stands are expected to produce more pulpwood for the mills and continuing employment for local people. All receipts from National Forest timber sales together with other forest receipts go into the Federal treasury. However, 25 per cent of that total is returned annually to the counties in which such forests are located, and an additional 10 per cent is returned to the forests for use on roads and trails. North Carolina's flue-cured to bacco acreage quota in 1948 was 27.52 per cent less than in 1947; but the total crop produced last year was 746,300.000 pounds—only 17.8 per cent below the 1947 record.

HAIRR Roy Burgin of Crooked Creek is setting his new apple orchard on the contour. Each row runs into the farm road that is located at the side of the orchard, Mr. Burgin states. He says he has found it to be easier to take the sprayer and other equip ment around through the orchard where the rows are on the contour. Then, too, the soil washing is check ed and more water soaks into the ground, he remarked recently. "In the final analysis," Mr. Burgin said, "the soil fertility increases and the apple crops grow larger each year." "I harvested 10 tons of hay from my five acres of meadow last fall," says J. S. Setzer of Marion Rt. 3. Mr. Setzer states that the meadow pays off better in hay than anything else he has ever had it planted to. The five acres of orchard grass and Ladino clovej that Mr." Setzer sowed last fall is looking fine. He plans to use this for hay. Many of McDowell's farmers, co operating with the Catawba Soil Conservation District, have taken advantage of the P. M. A. pasture building1 program. They are using: lime and phosphate also seeding, new and old pastures. Dr. Paul McBee and Tom Hardy of Crooked Creek recently began preparing the seedbed for new pas ture. . Tom has spread lime and fer tilizer and then disc the land for seeding of pasture- in March. JOBLESS BENEFITS Claims for unemployment com pensation have been increasing steadily every week since October, according to the Bureau of Employ ment Security, which reports that, although this means the number of jobless is increasing, the situation is far from alarming. They point out that the total number of unemploy ed is only 2,000,000 and there are nearly 60,000,000 civilians gainful ly employed. About 33,000,000 of these are eligible to'receive unem ployment checks if they are laid off. SHE HEARD A preacher was visiting one of his poor parishoners, an old woman, af fected with deafness, who expressed her great regret at not being able to hear his sermons. Anxious to be sympathetic, he said, with self-depreciation: ''You don't miss much." "So they tell me," was the unex pected reply. Westmoreland- Hat&Kjnj Funeral Service ^/Imbtitance Phone 2 76 220 S.
