?Continual (rum Page Our GRAZING URGED IN GAME AREA ON NANTAHALA stale .associate biologist and > supervisor of Western North Carolina refuges. At tlie conclusion of the dis- i cus&ion, Mr. He m>i law explained \ tliat the decision on the issue would have to be made joint ly by the U. S. regional for ester and the state authorities, since the refuge is operated jointly,. He recalled that the refuge was established 10 years ago on petition jf people ol Macon and Clay counties, and explained that, with a view to final elim ination of gracing on the area, a policy was adopted permitting ihose who had grazed one year to graze fis many tup to 10 hehdi, but 110 more, animals the ioiluwing year, with the proviso that when a ranger reduced the number ne reduced his quota, and that when he did not usi tne range one year, he list his privilege to graze thereafter, ueiung back to normal, follow ing the war, the custom of tag ging slock was resumed this spring, he added. Called to the front by Mr. Waldruop, Perry Anderson, 01 Clay county,- said he belieyed the area, it open to grazing Would carry 2,500 head of ma ture stock, wnich would bring in a revenue of $15,000 to $20, 000 per year. He said that Ciaj county larmers, with the Cha tojgee lake covering the heari ,ot the county, ana the Fires Creek and Standing Indian ref uges, were badly "nemmed in", adding' that "we are in as bad shape as Daniel in the lion's den". Mr. Anderson questioned if there is as much small garni in the area as there was 10 years ago. " ? **???? Alex Moore, lormer unu-un County sheriii, next was asked to state his views. Mr. Moore told of his experiences, 25 years ago, grazing hogs, and fattening them on chestnut mast, anu emphasized that when grazing was plentiful, he had bought sheep, raised in this country, "oy uie carload Emphasizing that the issue has two sides, however, Mr. Moore declared that there "has never been a greater government project than the Potest Service', and ex plained that the Forest Service ??takes land not worth the taxes and makes it worth while by growing timber for the fu ture". Grover Rogers, who lives on the head of Tallulah river, in Clay County, said he had talked to many persons in the area, and that they badly need the range. He said they would co operate by helping to prevent i and control forest fires. L. B (Uncle Bedei Norton, of the Betty's Creek community, said he had lived at the south ern end of the refuge all his life, and that the area would be worth more to the people of the two counties lor grazing than as a game refuge. Jake Waldroop, of Cartooge chaye, said he was thoroughly familiar with the area, and that there was far more game 10 years ago than today, explain ing that previously the farm ers had killed off the wildcats, which he said eat the small game. Terming the refuge a "failure", he said in another 10 years "you can't hear a jaybird holler if it goes on like it is to day". Ed Battle, of Upper Cartoo gechaye, said he always had ranged his stock, but was un able to get a permit this year, because he had failed to range for the past several years. He said he had 50 head of stock penned up, and that his neigh bors were similarly situated. As suring the Forest Service of the farmers' cooperation, he urged that they be given relief as to grazing. Lake V. Shope, register of deeds, pointing out that he was reared In the Nantahalas. ex pressed doubt that the Forest Service is carrying out its pur pose of "the greatest good for the greatest number" by operat ing the area as a refuge, adding that he caught more fish there before than since the refuge was established. J. C. Brookshire. clerk of su perior court, said the Cartooge chaye farmers are hemmed in by refuges on both sides; that prior to the establishment of the refuge they had a good in come from ranged stock; and that small game was disappear ing because the wildcats and Mr*.

Continued hunt I'agi OJe | BOARD TO SEE AH SCHOOLS division street connecting with the highway. Mr. Houk s plans call for a one-Story, four-classroom struc ture, witn two toilets. It is to be built of hollow cinderblock, a new material that he said has been on the markfet only six weeks, with an outside brick lacing. The loundation walls are to be 16 inches, and the superstructure walls 12? eight inches of cindorblock, and tour of brick. Cinderblacks, Mr. Houk iOld the board, are not porous, and carry underwriters' approv al. They sell lor the same price as cement blocks. Hollow tile, he explained, is not obtainable in . line 1 to get the strucure built ior the opening of school next tall. The partition walls are to oe six inches, of cinderblock, upon 12-jnch foundation.1 The floor will be of wood. Mr. Houk also recommended .hat, when the new structure is put up, it and the building to A'hich it is to be connected all oe roofed with tne same mate rial, 210-pound asphalt sningles. Alter several questions by Mr. oloan, the board, in a series oi motions, approved Mr. Houk's several proposals relating to tins construction.

The tourist, would provide a market for the meat, he added. Mr. Ruff told the group that the Forest Service has avaUety ol responsibilities, and that tne problem is to fit the uses and conflicts that arise into a pat tern that will benefit the Sre^' est number in the long run. He said the Standing Indian area is potentially the finest deei range in this region, and sau he believed there are enough deer there for a hunt. He call ed attention to the money speni in building the wardens sta tion and in stocking the area ! and invited those present to see what cattle had done to a for i est area at the Coweeta experi mental forest. Small game, hi Isaid, has been disappearing ai. over the southeast, and the rea son has not been discovered. Mr. Albert, representing Reg ional Forester J. Herbert Stone pointed out that, of 425,000 acres in forest, limited grazing ^ permitted Qn all but 91000 acres? in the refuges. He cited the industrial value of consis tent streamflow, made possible bv regulated forests; said there is a conflict between grazing and the growing of young tim ber- and remarked that it i your forest, as .evidenced by the fact that you get 25 per cent of the forest's receipts' .

Study labels of such articles carefully for iron ing instructions. Some knit gar ments may be pulled out of shape by ironing. Don't iron ! washable pile fabrics such as 1 chenliles or corduroys because Ironing will mat the pile. Brush up the pile when thoroughly dry.

BY IMPROVING PASTURE, FARM INCOME RAISED By increasing his pasture pro duction, Early Smith, Alleghany county farmer, has rai^eu ii? farm income considerably, re ports T. K, Jones, farm man agement analyst at State col lege. Mr. Jones believes many other North Carolina farmers coulc obtain a greater return on their land by giving more attention to pastures and increasing their cattle and other livestock. Since Mr. Smith was selected as a demonstration farmer in 1940, many changes have been made on his place. Gullies have been healed; briers and broom sedge have been replaced with a luxuriant growth of bluegrass and white clover. Crop yields have been doubled by heavy ap plications of TVA~ phosphate, lime, commercial fertilizer, ana manure. Last year Mr. Smith produced approximately 100 bushels of corn per acre on land which formerly averaged 40 bushels., As production of feed and pastures has increased, the 12 cow dairy herd has grown into a 32-cow herd of good grades and purebreds. A purebred bull has been purchased, and Mr. Smith is raising his own re placements and continuing to enlarge' his herd. Increased income from milk sales has enabled Mr. Smith to make many improvements in farm and hor^e living. A new Grade "A" dairy barn was add ?d last year and a silo and spring house were built in 1943. Modern dairy equipment has been added, and a jeep -purchas ed last year provides a cheap source of farm power. A water system and bathroom lave been installed in the home, and other improvements in home living are nlannpd. La -a year Mrs. Smith filled approxi mately 400 jars with frtnu, veg etables, and meats. No food is purchased which can be produc ed at' home. Pisgah Forest deer hunts spend an average in Brevard of $3C to $50 each. In closing the meeting, Mr Waldroop said he believed much good might come from the dis cussion, and emphasized the thought that "a dollar from the sale of livestock 1 ? w just as much as a dollar fron a hunter". He urged mat tnt area be closed to grazing alto gether, or made availaole ioi all. s f DEXTER WASHERS Twin Tub FARMERS FLULRAIION Macon Dry Cleaners Prompt Efficient Work FOR PICK UP SERV1C1 Phone 270 ?-CmUbmI from N|* Om STUDENTS HOME FOR VACATIONS year in the l#w whool of '.he L'nivertlty Of Njiui Carolina, pImiu lo work In tha law uiftce wf har father, J.

Swine Disease Cuts Poultry Fieed Cost By One-Fourth Farmers who buy feeder pigs from unknown sources take a chance on getting animals which are not only inferior but also diseased, according to Dr. C. D. Urinnells, prolessor of veterinary science at State col lege. "Swine disease is on the in crease. Promiscuous buying ol feeder pigs from unknown scources has been a large fac tor in scattering disease," pr. Grinnells said. "A good hog man does not have time to roajn the country marketing feeder pigs. He practices swine sanitation. Buy your pigs from him, even though you will have to look him up." The farmer who buys pigs from an unknown source is likely to get an inferior product to begin with, he explained. In many cases the seller has not practiced good swine sanitation. By experience he has found that with his equipment and methods he can realize a great er return by selling small pigs. Often the animals carry para sites, and have low-grade in- ! fections and low resistance to disease. These conditions, Dr. Grin nells continued, are Aggravated by feed changes, lack of water, long hauls, and* unsanitary con ditions. The pigs are yarded, transported, fed, watered, and often sold with pigs from a number of other sources. The opportunities to spread and to take in infectious materials are numerous. Conditions for the spread of disease are good. The U. S. navy reports that 183 marines were killed and 616 wounded on Eniwetok during the war. C ATHLETES FOOT G?kM KILL IT* FOR 35c.
