Macon Makes Record
In Fire Prevention
By J. FRED BRYSON
County Warden
The people of Macon, county
have, scored again. It is among
the. foremost in the state in fire
prevention, -
The extreme dry fall passed
with but 11 state fires in the
lounty, with 71 acres burned. .
The U. S. forest service report
ed a total of five fires on govern
ment land, with a total of 36J4
acres burned.
That record could only have been
made by the cooperation of the
citizens of M aeon county and the
state ana u. S. lorest service.
The last legislature added Feb
ruary and March to the months
that a burning permit is. required
to burn any brush, sedge of other
material.
We want to keep this record by
securing a burning permit and do
ing our burning earlier this year.
.while the woods are not so dry
and dangerous.
I - . 1 . v
uc sure you can nanaie your
lire, and after you think the dang
er is over check it again and be
Mire that all' fire is out.
We are looking forward to more
iurists this coming summer than
ever before. They admire our for
ests when they are green and not
fire-scarred. Let's make it so at
tractive that they will stay here
longer than before. Let's stop, for
est fires.
Burning permits may be secured

NATION HARD HIT
BY BLIZZARD
Zero and sub-zero temperatures
have caused acute suffering
throughout the country during the
past week. Many fatalities are re
ported, and heavy losses to crops,
i he cold was more acute in the
South, a large part of which was
covered with deep snows. Record
low temperatures were registered
in miany sections.
Cold Weather Causes
Birds Much Suffering
The suffering of game and song
birds is one of the bad effects of
this severe weather and snow.
"Those vvho travel the highways
see the birds in great numbers
seeking food where the snow has
been removed," isays John Wasi
lik, Jr., forest ranger of the Wayah
district of the Nantahala national
forest.
''The birds are bound to suffer
when-their food supply is covered
with snow, and many of them will
leave for friendlier climes unless
they are fed," Mr. Wasilik says.
: The forest' authorities suggest
that all householders scatter grain,
meal, grits, bread and meat scraps
around the farms and homes, as
the1 forest birds are foraging for
food in the open spaces and
wherever the snow has 'been clear
ed away. Grain strewn on the
highway by motorists is also sug
gested. Bird life is not only one of the
great attractions of this section,
but of primary importance to farms
and forests in the killing of de
structive insects.

New Circular Tells
How To Raise Hogs
The ABC's of swine production
A-dvantages, R-reeding, and C-are
of hogis are told in a new cir
cular prepared by the State col
lege extension service. The publi
cation was written by H. W. Tay
lor, extension swine specialist, and
Dr. John E. Foster, associate pro
fessor' of aniniaJKusbandry at the
college. '
A copy of the booklet will be
sent free to interested citizens of
North Carolina upon request to
the Agricultural Editor, State Col
lege, Raleigh, for Extension Cir
cular No. 238, "Raising Hogs in
North Carolina."
Under advantages, the circular
points out that North Carolina is
blessed with a comparatively mild
winter climate, which permits
grazing of swine during most of
the year, and reduces cost of
housing. Cooperative markets oper
ated under the supervision of
county farm agents are another of
the advantages listed.
As to breeding, the animal hus
bandmen devote four of the 25
pages in the publication telling of
the value of pure-bred boars.
There is no economy more false
than the purchasing of an infer
ior boar merely because he is a
few dollars cheaper than a good
one," they say. "Type is very, im
portant in the selection of brood
sows, whether they be grade or
purebred animals." . 1
The proper care of the swine
herd is discussed under several
headings, including feeding, sani
tation, housing, and disease con
trol.
North Carolina already ranks
second in the South Atlantic states
in bo.th hog population and money
value ot the farm enterprise, and
13ih in the nation in money value
and l.ith in hog population.

Plants Get Hungry,
Just Like Humans
II f. your scrubs, flower plants or
trees look sickly, it is highly prob
able that they are hungry, says
John H. Harris, extension. land
scape specialist of State college..
Plants eat much as humans, but
instead of meats and vegetables,
they feast largely on nitrogen,
phosphorous, and potash, he ex
plained. Harris recommends . that either
complete commercial fertilizers or
manure be applied to plants and
trees in the early spring,, hist be
fore growth starts. For non-flowering
shrubs, a fertilizer analyzing
10 per cent nitrogen, 6 per cent
phosphorous, and 4 per cent potr
ash is considered best. But nitro
gen produces an abundance of
foilage and not : much bloom, so
flowering plants should have a
4-12-4 fertilizer; in other words,
reduce the nitrogen, which pro
motes growth, and increase the
phosphorous, which promotes the.
bloom.
The usual . method of applying
fertilizer to shrubs and flower
plants is to broadcast it oyer the
ground and work lightly into the
soil.
For trees, the extension special
ist advises a slightly different pro
cedure. In the first place, some of
the symptoms of an undernourish- "
ed tree are thin foliage, small yel
lowish leaves, lack of growth,
dead branches, branches dying
back at the tips, and undersize
buds.
If manure is used, it may be ap
plied at any time of the year. If
commercial fertilizer is used, it
should be applied from February
15 to July 15 to do the most
good. A good fertilizer such as
6-8-6, 5-10-5, or 4-8-4 may be ap
plied at the rate of one-half to
one pound of fertilizer to each
one inch diameter of the tree.
A-good -way to apply this is to
punch holes with a crowbar to a
depth of 12 to 15 inches around
the tree, applying the proportion
ate amount in each hole. The holes
should start near the base of the
tree and extend well past the
spread of the branches.
INSURANCE
One out of every four farmers
who insured their 1939 wheat pro
duction under the federal "all-risk"
insurance program has received- an 1
indemnity to make up for unavoid
able crop loss.
WATER
A demonstration on simple home
water systems given by H. M.
Ellis, of State college, before a
Wilson county home demonstration
group is expected to result in the
installation of severaf systems.
From his one-acre tobacco pro
ject, Claude Bass of the Kenly
4-H Club in Johnston county, har
vested 1,794 pounds of tobacco,
which netted him $290.81 after ex
penses of $51.51 were deducted.
