WARNS RAVAGES OF CHEST- | blight keep up; - Washington, Feb. 24. ? The chest nut blight is continuing its rapid spread in the southern Hates, tho | United States department of agri c vulture warns, advising owners of ehffetnnt timber to consider careful Mr salvage operations, particu in regard: to 'the smaller trees jle for pol?| and for mantffae . _ ff tannic v "r- Jf-? ? The bufcau of plant industry and' its cooperating reporters made obser-j rations. in 1927 to determine the; extension of the blight, and found no reason to anticipate any abatement* of the spread and increase of tnisj fungous pest. It is expected that with j in the next ten years the blight will i kill most of the chestnut timber in the southern Appalachian region. All of the important chestnut pro-j ducing eounties of* Virginia except' fourteen in the southwest corner of; the state have 80 percent or^more of j the chestnut trees infected or killed by the blight. Twenty one counties of West Vir-( ginia, seven of North Carolina, two of South Carolina, and two of Geor-i <jia are in the same condition. Of the remaining counties with cxtcn-i sive chestnut growth in the aboye states and in Tcnnesseo and Kentuc ky, sixty nine have from 30 to 79 percent of the chestnut trees infect ed; sixty two have 10 to 29 perceut infected; and twonty three have less than 10 percent. _ J As the rate of killing varies in dif ferent parts of the samq region, the department advises all owners to as-' certain the present condition of their chestnut especially if it is suitable for poles. Some large pole buying com panics discriminate against poles cut from badly blighted trees, and most of them will not. accept those cut from trees killed by the blight. Conse fluently many owners who have failed ; to cut before the blight has seriously attacked or killed their trees arc suf-| fcring considerable losses. At the, present time many stands suitable ^ for poles sliould be cut promptly to prevent loss, while Others can be leit for several ? years without danger. Stands of chestnut suitable for: lumber need not be marketed so; quickly, because killing does not dc- j crease the value of these trees so | rapidly as it does trees suitable for( poles. The blight fungus, itself, does not decrease the strength of wood, but decay-producing fungi, which enter the wood immediately ( after the death of the tree, docay the bark and the sapwood in a few years. Checks, which begin shortly after the bark galls, deepen, and cause considerable loss in sawed products. Chestnut trees can be used for tannic, acid extract wood for twenty years or more after death. However, their volume is reduced, within a few years after death, by. the deeag of the bark and no* of j PLAN TO UTILIZE SUB PLUS FOREST PRODUCTS Washington, F^b. 24. ? As another step in the elimination of waste in industry, a survey of non-utilized wood available as raw material for by products industries will be under taken in North Carolina by the Na tional Committee on Wood Utilization of the Department of Commerce, it was announced today. This State survey, the second in a program of national scope will be made in co operation with Major Wade H. Phil lips, Director of the North Carolina Department of Conservation and De velopment and J. 8. Holmes, State Forester, according to Axel H. Ox holm, Committee director. Governor McLean, of North Caro lina is honorary chairman of the sub committee under which the survey will be made. Reuben B. Robertsono prsident of the Champion Fibre Co. Canton N. C is chairman. Comment ing upon this move Governor Mc Lean said: "I heartily endorse the efforts of the National Committee to jbring about the closest possible utilization of our timber rescources. This urvey ought to give information as to how we can. best use by-products and waste wood to advantage. This work should stimulate the location of aux iliary wood using industries." A similar survey Virginia is now nearly completed. This scries of State surveys, planned to eventu ally cover the entire country, is part of the Committee's program of closer use of wood to enable profitable commercial reforestation. It is hoped that by gathering and publishing in formation as to the quantity of such wood waste available for by indus-i tries to enconragc the establishment of such plants at strategic' points and thus ut'lize a greater proportion of the felled tree. POULTRY ASSOCIATION ELECTS OFFICERS At a recent meeting of 1 lie Jack son. County Poultry Attoeifttion, ol ' fi wi i. -mi --l_ .il I. ~ 1 ?*?

The following com mittees were named and are to meet with the officers at an early date: Marketing committee, Show commit tee and Membership committee. The Marketing committee will have for its work this year, the market ing of poultry in carlot sales, the grading and marketing of eggs to be shipjieid to Philadelphia, Washing ton, or Atlanta markets, and the par chasing of supplies necessary in main taining poultry on the farm. The Show Committee will have charge of plans for the Show this fall, and they will prepare the cat alog and premium list and start the advertising in the next few weeks in order to make this year's show the biggest and best ever held. The membership committee will solicit every pnrebrcjd poultry owner in the county to line up as a mem ber of his or her county organization for the interest and promotion of poultry for profit in the county. Poultry giowers in Jackson county realize that the growing of poultry for profit demands the cooperation of the growers through their organ ization. There are several advantages for each grower in working through this organization and before the year, is over any purebred flock owner will realize that lie or she will be at a material loss if not lined up in cooperation with the other growers. A chicken supper and interesting program will be the feature of the March meeting. Ten different farmers of Pitt County are feeding hogs according to the Shay method and it is esti mated that about eight cars of well fed hogs will be shipped from he county this spring. Farmers of Ashe County have shipped their firat care of seed Irish potatoes to growers of the early crop in eastern Carolina. the sapwood. The los3 is especially heavy in chestnut of small size.
