Leaf-Burning *Burns Up’ Writer; Why Waste What Nature Makes? By Helen K. Butler One of the great tragedies of Au tumn arrives on the heels of the first frost. And then we thoughtless hu man beings perpetrate against Nature such a travesty as to make her ridic ulous. We open a season of ten thous and smokes, plus ten thousand. All over our state, we have sent rakes into action and then applied matches to piles of leaves, yea! tons of leaves, md into that man-made smoke, we de.stroy in a few minutes in wan ton waste, what wise old Nature has accomplished in months of consistent work. The falling autumn leaf tells a mighty interesting story. The growth of the leaf from the small brown scales of the tight bud of winter to the mature mass of expanded cells that separates from the branch of the tree after frost isn’t a common- nlace event, at all. Leaves don’t tum ble down by pure accident. The en tire scheme is a prearranged affair. Ml summer long the leaf has been busy swallowing up carbonic acid from the air. Then its business with the influence of sunlight was to di- ”;e8t and convert it into starches and other living material which in turn will be drawn into the tree and ator- •'d there in layers of bark for fu- *urc use. The release of the leaves was pre pared for by the tree In the arrange- ■nent of empty cells where the leak- ’talk join* the stem or branch and. when frosts arrive, the separation takes place that sends the brown car pet showering down over lawns. This is a decided annoyance to manv p-ar- deners. So leaves are Immediately swept up and destroyed, and all there is left is a handful of ashe resting on our pitiful sterile land. All over our villages, where yards join the .street, smoldering fires or remnants of char red leaves tell the tale. Leaves Have Great Value Some farmers estimate a ton of rot ter leaves have about the same value as a ton of manure. In our illogical I way, we bum one and buy the other. I We seem happier paving out money I for artificial fertilizers. Stable ma- I nure becomes increasingly hard to get, and in some places is an unob- itainable luxury, but that needn't 'worry the gardener who salvages the luxury that f:iiis free at his feet. With 'little effort or cost, he can turn into a few furrows or a compost pit, a 1 fertilizer that will show a renin ce ment of fertility, the most important factor of all. We learn about that mysterious thing called protonlasm. TTie gifted tree manufactures the stuff, and the man destroys it. Humus, the or"anie material the leaves gives us every fall, is the answer to the worn o’lt garden of sand clay soil, as it is the only agency that restores to the soil the thing we have robbed it o^ and prodtices the loam we in this section are so needful of. Our Sandhills ■would be le«<i «>^<»ri’e less porous, rould better withstand our summer drou^hN If w" wore ' little slower in applying the match to our underestimated leaves RFl'OllT OF CONDITION OF The Citizens Bank & Trust Company of Southern Pines of SOl'THKRN FINES IN THE ST.\TE OF N.
