Tarking ton Store, Pleasant Grove; Harry Barnes Store, Cherry; Wiley Rat cliff Store, Wenona; Cedric Dav enport Store, Mackeys Road; and Jackson Store, Long Ridge Road. Any person who buys feed or fertilizer, regardless of age, is eligible to vote.

Funds al ready collected have been used to start 38 projects. The program was first voted on in 1951 when farmers overwhel mingly voted the program in for a three-year period. During that time about $140,000 a year has been raised and has enabled the extension program to be greatly strengthened and the people made more conscious of the program.

Attention Called ] ToNewBrushLaw < By County Ranger J Permit Must Be Secured To Legally Start Brush Fires Between Hours of 12 P.M. And 4 P.M. -» — County Ranger S. F. Darden of the North Carolina Division of Forestry stated today that all per- £ sons who plan to bum their ditch banks, hedgerows or fields should remember that a major change has been made in the State Brush Burning Law. This brush burning law became effective October 1 last year and will remain in ef fect until June 1. The law which d was rewritten by the 1953 State d General Assembly makes it un- c lawful for any persons, firm or y corporation to start or cause to b be started any fire or ignite any E material in any of the woodlands under protection of the State For- s esf Service or within 500 feet of c any such protected areas during ( thie hours starting at mid-night j and ending at 4 p. m., without c first securing a permit. j. In other words, as the law now reads, a person can burn between 4 p. m. and midnight without ob- j taining a brush burning permit. , Permits are issued without any i charge and may be easily obtain- j ed, Ranger Darden pointed out. ^ No permits are necessary for C brush and diebris burning if such } burning is done within 100 feet r of an occupied dwelling house. \ During periods of hazardous for- 1 est fire conditions the State For- J ester is authorized under the new J brush burning law to cancel all I permits and prohibit the starting I of any fires in any of the wood- 1 lands under the protection of the State Department of Conserva- j •ion and Development, Forestry ( D:vision.
