STREET Ray Grocery & Feed Co. GLENN RAY, Mgr. Franklin, N. C Firewood Is Needed For Winter of '41-'42 ilndicatians point to hiiher coal prices for the winter of 1941-42; K. W. Graeber, extension forester of N. C. State college, suggests to farmers that they prepare now for extensive ; fuelwood cuttings this, winter. Even if labor is available to mine sufficient quantities of coal for domestic purpose it is questionable whether transportation facilities will be available, this situation ' is bound to create a greater demand for wood as fuel. The forester pointed out that the expanded fuelwood market should enable many farmers to dis pose of low-grade hardwood trees not suited for lumber or other commercial purposes. The earlier the start is made in Cutting, the more nearly the wood will oe seasoned when the demand be comes active. Despite the advantages of in creased demand for wood, the ex tension specialist offered a note of warning. "The slogan should be 'Don't Strip the Land,' "he said. "A good . scutting plan would be : Cut the poorer species, such as scarlet oak, blackjack oak, sour wood, black gum, hornbeam, etc. Cut crippled, crowded, or diseased trees of any species. Make use of tree tops left from recent saw mill operations." Baptist Church Year To Begin Sunday ' Rev. C. F.

Value Of Peaches Stressed In Campaign Tasty appetizing peaches so good to eat and so good for you, will be the central attraction on most tables during the period of July 24 through July 30.

Department of Agriculture in a public-spirited campaign to increase consumption of .fresh peaches by everyone. ; S. W. Mendenhall, farm agent of Macon County, pointed out that while food is rationed in war-torn Europe, "we in America are faced with a different but serious prob lem, : "We are not eating enough of the ' basic health-protecting foods of which there is an abundance in this country," he said. "More than 40 per cent of our people are actually suffering from' mal nutrition in this land of plenty. And today, more' than ever before, America needs strong, red-blooded man, women and children. "We have always relished peaches and this delicious fruit now takes a new rank as a healthful food. "Recent vitamin research has re veaiea mat peacnes are ncn in Vitamins A, B, C and (b2) nec essary for good health. In urging all homemakers to eat more peaches at this time, G. L. Bateman, area supervisor of the surplus marketing administration, pointed out that the National De fense Conservation and Nutrition program calls for more home can ning and preserving. Home-canned peaches provide a splendid supply of basic health-protecting foods, and a very thrifty home food supply, too.
