EMöfts Several thing· were point«« out on the forestry tour that was attended by 40 Columbut County farmers where thej can increase their farm inoorm through their woodland. Or the tour, five stops were made; lour of those, five stops wen: designed to show farmers something that tney might d« on their farm that would help increase their farm income at a minimum of expense. Tin· five stops included: natural resccding, site preparation, hand planting and harvesting along with a stop on fire con trol. Many Columbus County far mers have some trees that are mature and ready for harvest ing. These trees will not «et any better if they are allowed to stay for five, ten or even 20 years longer. Other farmers have wood land that needs thinning and will be able to reap some of the benefits now and leave their woodland in lietter con nition than it was before it was thinned. There is a market here in Columbus County for almost ;«ny type of forestry products that the farmer has. There are Γι number of trained profess ion.·! foresters who, upon pro per contact, will mark and cut timber according to the best known forestry practices of today. On the other hand, if the farmer will let them or it they feel that the farmer is interested in getting the most money today that Ik* can pos sibly get and not looking to ward the future, they, along with others, v/il! have the same tendency to clear cut, which at times is a very bad practicc. liiere are several pulpwood companies that are interested in buying pulpwood daily. If the farmer will permit them, they will do a good job of cut ting. but if they are pushed the least bit, they are not be yond clear cutting. Timber companies are the same way. Look out for vour timber fond because the average farm ei in Columbus County has more timber land than he has cropland. We wore shown last week on our lorestry lour tour where land silcli as the Green Swamp could bring in (i to 8 per cent return on their investment. If these larger companies can take land like the Green Swamp and other Columbus County swamps and make them pay ο If for them, why can't the (armer make his I woodland pay off? "Sail Samples" Some of the best informa tion and better crops in 1963 can come from your soil sam ples». Recently we had a report lroin some 50 soil samples that had gone in, und 45 of the 50 reeded various amounts of lime to produce the proper crops. Your soil sample returns will al^o give you a good guide toward fertilising your < rops. However, you as a far mer know your land better than any one else and will bo able to read the information that you get from the soil test ing division and put it into practice on your farm with the fertilizer and lime you need. If your land needs lime, fer tilizer is not ,*?<>ing to do too much good. On the other hand, i«· you have too much lime, fertilizer is not going to per form as it should Perhaps this is one reason that many Co lumbus County farmers have ι been able to get by with put ■ ting so much fertilizer under ; tobacco; because when the ! liine content is not right, then ι it will lock up much of the fertilizer materials that are | Int out. The Soil Testing Division is ' not rushed at lliis season of j the year. So. sot your soil ι samples and send them in and use them as a guide for better crops in 1963. You can secure containers, j information sheets and mailing boxes for your soil samples from the County Extension of fice. "Tarn It. I><m't Burn It" Your crop residue will do you more good if you turn it than it wil lif you burn it. Corn stalks, cotton stalks, grass, weeds and other crop residue if disc and mixed with just a little dirt at this season ot the year will rot and add humus to your land, which is badly needed to help hold moisture during next sum mer. If you bun it to get it out of the way, what little fer tilizer material you get out of the ashes wil Ibe very very negligible. Υοιι stand a chance j of setting the woods on fire i around the field, and seldom has a woods rire been profi , table to any farmer. They j usually are more destructive j than beneficial. So, with a disc lo tear it up i some and mix ί little dirt with it. the freezes and thaws In tin next few months will pat youi land in good shape lor next sprint's planting. "Stop CoekiMChK" Roaches have a way of mak ing themselves at home even in the cleanest homes. They destroy food, damage fabrics and spread disease. Usually they an· found in the kitchen and bathrooms, or brown banded roaches may be found any where in the bouse. Of ten times these roaches find their way into your kitchen in the grocery hag. To control roaches, use in secticides containing l>iuzi nun. Spray tue baseboards sinks, behind stoves and re frigerators and any other place that roaches seem to hide. Re move all of your dishes and spray cupboards. You can re place the dishes after the spray is dry. It is best to use the chemical again in two weeks and then again two weeks lat cr. These repented treatments will kill roachc3 that have hatched after the first spray. Another insecticide that will de a μι κ «Ι job is Chlordane. "Sei I'rcan Trees" You can have a money tree in your yard as well as a shade tree, provided you use pecans. A few pecan trees properly ι handled can just about pay I your taxes each year. Once in a while you will have a pe can failure, but often times you will have enough pecans ι Ιοί family use and some to sell. Now is the time to yet your order in for whatever number of pecan trees that you wish to set during January or Feb ruary. 1[ you arc setting them ι foi shade as well as nuts, you ■ will want to .pace them a ' round the homestead; or it ' may be that you will want to j set a small grove of pecans. I They should be set about 40 I to 50 feet apart. One mistake that most peo i pie make with pecans is not j digging a hole big enough for ' the tree. You will need a hole j approximately 24 inches wide and 36 inches deep to take care of a peca ntree. If around j the house, make plans to keep j them watered during the fir>t year. For both beauty and I nuts, consider some pecans. j "Drive and Walk Safely" ■ Particularly il u ring the ι Christmas holidays, it is ur ! uent that all drivers be careful j and drive as sar'ely as possi ble; ami if you ;jre walking along the highway, be sure I that you walk safely. Too many people today are being killol by automobiles and un- I necessary accidents. Usually during holidays the toll goes, up. and the predictions arc that in North Carolina during the Christmas holidays, over IUO people will be killed. Be c&rcful so that you will not be one of that neniber. "It's Garden Time" Tin? average Columbus Coun ty farmer can make up the loss »if his 5 |H'r cent reduc tion in his tobacco with a good garden. To the average fami ly. a good properly handle·! garden is worth or equal to one-half acre "f tobacco. So, the loss of 5 P"r cent of your tobacco allotment in IUK3 may be gained easily with a g«>od family garden. If you are in terested in a real family gar den this year, now is the lime to start that Karden. Fol* the latest information on gardening, stop or write for the Garden Manual. Ex tension Circular No. 122. This can be secured from your County Extension office eith er by stopping by, calling or writing. Dear Santa · . .
