Graeber, urges farmers to make wise use of their wood lands. For instance, he said, fuel wood on the farm, if used in place of other fuels, would re lease ships and railroad cars now needed to haul these other fuels for transporting military sup plies and necessary war materials. However, fuel wood should come from cull trees,- tops of trees cut for sawlogs, and dead, seriously injured or suppressed and unthrifty trees not suitable for ve,neer logs, box bolts, and other special products. Not only cat wood be used on the farm to replace oil and coal, but wood could replace me tal posts in fence-building, thus saving the metal for other pur- pases more necessary in the prosecution of the war. Graeber said the1 farmer cannot be sure of a demand for all the fuel wood he aani cut. There fore, he should plan his cut so that he himself can use wood in the place of other fuels and sup ply those to whom he knows he can .sell wood. Present indi cations, however, are that in creased amounts of fuel wood will be needed this year and in 1943. The State College forester said fuel wood can best be harvest ed during slack periods on the farm. Fuel wood yields more heat when it has had si -months or more in which to air dry. In piling wood for air-drying, it should be stacked, not heap ed, an high ground, preferably in an open yard to get the matt air circulation.

Only Take Advantage Of City Garage APRIL FREE OFFER Herbs Make Comeback As War Cuts Supplies A revival of Herb growing in. North Carolina is foreseen by L. G. McLean, associate horticul turist of N. C. State College, be cause the war has shut off nor mal supplies of these culinary and medicinal plants. Early settlers in the country brought with them a wide variety of herbs from Europe and used the plar.its extensively in the flavoring and for medicinal pur poses. However, herb gardens gradually became fewer as Ame ricans depended increasingly on foreign markets for their sup ply. McLean believes herbs -to have potential importance in North Carolina as money crops, be cause the State affords likely growing conditions. Through the years, a stuady demand has grown for certain herbs and the market could accommodate that amount. The impact of war on the herb market is seen in the nrice naid for sage. Before the war. sane could be purchased ordinarily for five cents, a pound. Now, the price ranges from 65 cents to $2 a pound, depending on the qua lity. Such plants as coriander, fen nel, caraway, sage, anise, sun flower, mustard, angelica, dill, and pyrethum cajn be grown success fully by farm people of North Carolina.
