Taken In Camp
During the first week of September
there was a camp held at Greystone
near High Point, for the purooe of
pr.Miiotinsr the idea of Wild Life and
Soil Conservation.
In this camp we learned that there i
aie many things that are frien.ij to'
man. S.me that I did not know ve:e
friends to man.
The first of these friend we may
consider are the birds. They are a
hep to the farmer . in many way; ;
They eat many insects during the
ear. n it were not for the birds the
fanner's crops would bo completely
destroyed. Many hawks have to suf
fer for what the others do. There ie
only one specie of hawks which is
harmful to the farmer. This specie
is the Darter. There are two of
these Darters, the Sharp Shank and
Cooper hawks. They do almost as
much good as they do harm. Other
hawks pick up rat and mice whkh
are very destructive to the farmer.
The second helpers are the snakes.
There are more snakes that are help
ful to the farmer than are harmful.
The snakes catch insects, frogs, and
rats. A person can easily recognize
the poisonous snakes by the round
pupa in his eye. A non poisonous
snake should never be killed.
There are some useful insects such
as the honey bee. There are insects
which feed upon insects which do
harm to the farmer's crops. All in-
COMMITTEE SAYS N. C. SUPREME
COURT IS OVERWORKED
A committee of eight members re
ported last week that work of the
five members of the North Carolina
Supreme Court has increased 100 per
cent since and that each mem
ber now writes an average of 100
opinions a year, which according to
the report, more than should be
expected of rive men. The commit
tee favors the proposed amendment
to the constitution to add two new
members to the ourt.
sects are classed into two groups.
thAse that suck for food, and those
that secure food by chewing.
We rind that another very important
friend of man is the tree. It gives us
shelter, food, paper, and clothing. If
it were not fcir the trees we. could
not live.
If all of these things that I have
just mentioned are so much help to
man we must care and protect them.
The best ways that I learned at camp
to care and protect our farmers are
as follows: First, terracing, by means
of terracing you can bold the water
and keep it from washing the soil
away. Second, strip cropping, this is
planting different crops in one field,
some close growing crops. Third, by
rotation of crops. Another way we
can hold our land is by means of re
foresting. We can keep young tim
ber growing in place of the old; this
helps to hold the water back. I found
out at camp by protecting our lands
and forests we also protect our wild
life.
