THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1939 the Franklin press and the highlands maconian PAGE FIVE Burning Woodlands No Aid In Controlling Farm Insects Juliet's Tomb Is Shrine for Romantic Lovers ! It would appear that North Caro lina farmers who for years have been burning their woods and fields in the behalf that this, burn ing helps to destroy harmful in sects, such as ticks and boll weevils, and otherwise helps their land, are all wrong, according to Assistant State Forester W. C. McCormick i in charge of forest fire conrtol in the department of conservation and development. The U. S. department of Agriculture in Washington, through its bureau of entomology and plaut quarantine, has recently informed F. A. Silcox, chief of the U. S. forest service, that it does not recommend the burning of woodlands as a means of controlling plant pests and insects, Mr. Mc Cormick said. In a letter written to Chief Sil cox of the U. S. forest .service toy Lee A. Strong, chief of the bureau of entomology and plant quarantine of the U. S. department of agri culture, Mr. Strong says: "In of ficial statements issued by the bu reau there are no general recom mendations for burning as an aid in controlling plant pests. In a few instances, such measures have, been outlined, but such recommen dations are always accompanied by precautionary statements." Thei letter contains comments from various divisions within the bureau, among which are the fol lowing : . ' Division of forest insect investi gation: "This division does not recommend the use of broadcast burning of forest areas, or other woodlands for the control of for est insects. . . . The present ten dency is to develop new methods of controlling or preventing bark beetle outbreaks without the ,us.e of fire." Division of insects affecting, men and animals: "This division does not recommend the use of fire in Bryant Furniture Co. EVERYTHING FOR THE HOME AT REASONABLE PRICES Phone 106 Franklin. N. C.

There are many stockmen and others who firmly believe and advocate the burning of pastures, which may in volve wooded areas, for the control of various, species of ticks and chiggers. Some evidence is at hand that such burning accomplishes the destruction of large numbers of these pests, though careful ex periments to determine the effec tiveness of fire on these insects' have not been conducted. . . . We have never suggested the use of fire in connection with the control of fire ants and it is our opinion that it has no place in combating those pests. Until the use of fire in the control of ticks, chiggers, and other insects ... has been es tablished, we shall not recommend the use of this medium' Division of cereal and forage in sect investigation: '"jEhe burning of woodllands is no longe r recommend tA hw ne. . far - the control of the chincli bug or any otheJC insect with which! this division is owcernea.

"Thn above statements fromifed- eral e: inert s on the subject of the use of fire by farmers should con vince North Carolina farmers that the burnine of their fields and woods lis of no value in controlling insect nests, and that such twac- tices should be discontinued," Mc Cormick said "The farmer who uses fire to destroy insects loses? far more casbi values through dam aged tree growth and soil fer tility than he gains by the destruc tion off a few insects." -1 -i. ; gM win Although 600 years have passed since they died together, the legend of Romeo and Juliet, immortalized by Shakespeare, still attracts more than 100,000 visitors yearly to picturesque Verone, on the banks of the Po river In northern Italy.
