Address CitizehQ Can Give Great Aid In Decreasing Forest Fires prevent- According to County Forest War den Bryjon, of Maeon county, dur ing the first' six months of 1938, the state forest service reported 455 forest fires in Western North Carolina. Of these 455 fires, three were caused by lightning. In other words, 453 of the fires were man-caused and thereby able. These 4.53 man-caused fires cost the state and counties of Western North Carolina thousands of dollars in damage to timber and wild life to say nothing of the effect that fires . have on soil erosion, and the aesthetic value of our woodland. During the summer months in Western North Carolina, ou forest floor is covered with a carpet of green vegetation. ,The trees are covered with green foliage. Con sequently, the forest is rendered fairly safe insofar as forest fires are concerned. Already with the first signs of Fall and Winter, the grasses in the forests are dying and the foliage is losing its glassy green color and beginning to fall. Therefore, the floor of the forest will soon be covered with a layer of dead and highly inflammable material subject again to the risk of more man-caused forest fires. It is encouraging, however, to know that the number of the man oaused fires in Western North Carolina for the past several years have been steadily decreasing. Citi zens of Macon county, can render valuable assistance to the county, state and forest warden . organiza tion in bringing about a still fur ther decrease in our losses irom forest fires. Here are a few of the ways: 1. Don't toss a lighted cigarette or match out of your. car. T o do so. your cigarette or match may land in inflammable material caus ing a disastrous fire. 2. While hunting, be sure that your match and-cigarette are fully extinguished before y0u throw them away. , Also be sure that, when yc-Ut. Pipe 3 emptiecUjhe contents are completely extinguisnea 3. In building warming and camp ing fires, -'be sure that you have complied with the ' state laws. To build such a fire, the state law re quires that you clear away all in flammable and combustible material for a space of 10 feet surrounding the place where such fire is kindl ed and that the fire be fully ex tinguished before ' leaving. 4. Before burning debris oi any kind, secure from your county for est warden, or one of his authoriz ed representatives, a . burning per mit. The state law on this is as follows: ; Section 1. That it shall be unlaw ful for any person, firm or "corpora tion to start or cause to be started any fire or ignite any material in any of the areas of woodlands under the protection of the state forest service or within 500 feet of any such protected, area, between the first day of ApriJ and the 15th day of ' June, inclusive, or 'between the 15th day of October and the 1st day of December, inclusive, in any year, without first obtaining from the state forester or one of his 'duly authorized agents a per mit to set out tire or ignite any material in, such above mentioned protected areas.; that nd charge shall be made for the granting of said permits. , - Section 2. That this Act shall not apply to any fires started or caus ed to be started within 500 feet of a' dwelling house. Section 3. That any person, firm or corporation violating this Act shall be Ruilty of a misdemeanor and shall be fined or imprisoned in the discretion of the court. Section 4. That all laws and clauses of laws in conflict with the provisions of this Act are hereby repealed. Section 5, That this Act shall be in full force and effect from and after its ratification. (Chapter 207, Public Laws of N. C 1937). Burning permits can be secured from County Forest Warden Bry son in .'Franklin and the following district wardens : Robt. Ramsey, Tellico; J. D. Burnette, Scaly; U. S. Forest Rangers and Assistant Rangers; all Project Superinten dents of CCC camps. 5. After securing your burning permit, notify your adjoining land owner that you intend to do such burning. 6; Mairitairi c&'riful land .compe tent watch over your fire" and never leave your "fire until . it is completely out. 7. Never burn near the woods .or where fire can reach the woods when conditions are . dangerously dry. The state forest service laws are going to be enforced. Those, failing to comply with these laws are , go ing1 fa be prosecuted. It is hoped that through your cooperation this will not be necessary. ' , , State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. What spacing is necessary in setting out young fruit trees?. A. Apple and pear trees should be set at least 35 feet apart and the peach, plum, and cherry trees as much as, 25 feet apart. All fruit and nut trees, except strawberry plants, should be planted from one to two inches deeper than they stood in the nursery row with the hole wide enough to receive the roots without bending. If the roots are extremely' long, they can be trimmed to around eight inches from the stem. Where grapes are "planted, the rows should be 10 feet ,iapart with bunch grapes 10 feet apart in the row and Musca dines 20 feet, apart, '"V . . Q. .How can I prevent colds in my poultry- flock ? . , ; A. As practically all colds in poultry are started by drafts and dampness "it might be well , to check the house and see that the birds are protected at all times. Poor ventilation, overcrowding, par asitic infestations, and poor feed ing are contributing factors and these should also, be ; carefully checked to prevent weakening the birds. However, . after all preven tive measures are taken the birds often contract colds and directions for control are, given in Extension Circular No. .154, copies of which may be had -free" upon application to the agricultural editor at State college. Q. How can I estimate the amount of 'silage I .should put up for my dairy herd? A. The quantity of silage needed will be determined by the number of cows to be fed and the size of the animals. The average size. Jer sey and Guernsey cow will . con sume from 30 to 35 pounds of silage daily, while the Ayrshire or Hol stein breeds will take from 40 to 50 pounds. For a feeding period of six months, it will take from three to four and one-half tons for each mature cow in the herd., If a longer feeding period is planned, additional feed must .be added to the stored silage. ;'' ' , ,. ,"''.'
