There is no class of farmers who
are more dependent upon their for-
esto or woodlots for their well be
ing than the tobacco farmer and,
yet, in the past irreparable injury
has been done by the careless
burning off of their tobacco beds in
the Springs. This is not true of the
majority of tobqcco farmers, who as
a .rule, are very intelligent and have
already iome to the conclusion
that if they intend to continue to
raise tobacco they mnsf also* take
care of their timbered land and
protect them from Are. It is pretty
bale to say that the succesilal to
bacco farmer ia not the one who al
lows his woodlands 4o bum.
The proper preparation of a to
bacco bed calls for a lot of bard
work, as it Is ^Uerally moved .from
year to yea^ to overcomie the me
nace of disease among the young
plants, and beds made in new land
have been fonnd the most satlsta^
tory. first, the timber and brush
muM be remove from the bed
proper and the ground cleared for
a, considerable area beyond the ac
tual limits of the beds This Is an
added protection agatnst Injarlonfl
insects, which mii*t And homes in
the leaves Ind shrubbery until they
were ready to do their work of dj-
stroction.' All the brash which ^^s
been cleared hp around the bed is
then piled upon it and burned to
Merilize the soil against the ger
mination of weed seeds and othdr
Injnrlous matter. The flames from
the burning of this litter oftentimes
leap as far as twenty or thirty feet
In her atr .and if a strong wind is
blowing inay be carried that far iu
a horizontal direction. The sparks
of course travel even greater dis
tances and cause many bad forest
flres thru the Rprlng season. These
Ares hit the trees at thn" tinie ' of
lowest resistance and results in the
killing of nearly all of the young
growth and even of mature trees.
The farmer cannot cure his to
bacco without the use of large
quantltie's of wood and it is to his
decided advantage to see that they
are not Injured or entirely destroy
ed by fires, which after all do no
good and are entirely preventable.
If a few precautions are taken
in the burning of the tobacco bed,
and a little care exercised In pick
ing the proper time or burning it
will result in the saving of hun
dreds of acres of valuable wood
lands from being burned over.

Suggestion Offered
Speaker of House
By CARL GOEniCH,
Alter reading in the .papers about
some of the bills that have been in
troduced lately In the legislature,
1 believe I’ll sit down and write a
letter to Willis Smith, Speaker ot
the House, and a mighty fine fel
low.
Hon. Willis Smith,
Raleigh, ^North Carolina,
My dear Willis;
I’ve been following proceedings
of fcbe legislature with a whole lot
of interest and I’ve been watching
some of the bills that have been
introduced.
There was a bill presented a few
days ago by Representative John
son, of Halifax, to amend the law
on .the squirrel and raccoon sea
son. There was another bill, intro
duced by Senator Lawrence, of
Hertford, to make blue and white
the regular and standard colors of
State automobile license tags, Rep
resentative McDevltt, of Madison,
presented a bill to require at least
ten verlbes'^ from the Bible to be
read at th cpenlng each morning of
from the bed. It should be piled up! schools And Senator Mc-

The Legion went on record w
favoring the payment by the Fed

There will be d m«etilng of
farmers at the DuhdairSeh School

at 2 o’clock. The purpose will be
to 'consider the possible acreage
of tomatoes to be produced In

Seaboard Airline Railway will be
present to take charge of the

whereby Mr. Tucker of, Ocalla,

when she fell- on the floor of th©

for burning. Then, an area should
be burned off Surrounding the bed
to a depth of forty or fifty feet
This should preferably be done, at
night, 'when there is little or no
wind stirring arid when the danger
\ from flying sparks is negligible. The
tobacco bed itself containing the
piled brush should then be burned.
If these simple precautions are fol
lowed and a competent watchman
is kept on the job one of the very
serious cau^s of string forest fires
will be eliminated.
If the forest wardens of a com
munity ican be of any help and their
services are wanted, the general
public will find them ready at all
times to help In preventing the
spread of fires from any source
whatsoever. It is hoped that thei
farmers ■will look up the warden
in their particular section and se-
core his hdlp and berrice In burn
ing their beds.

Fayetle^e " hospital Wednesday
, evening Hen daughter, Mrs. ,Q C.
Taylor, of Kinston, came home Thia
Swain, of Cleveland, came forward
with a bill to change the date of
the primary from the first Satur
day in June to the first Monday in
June.
Now Willis; I’m not saying a
word of criticism against any of
those bills. So far as I’m concern
ed, all of them may be splendid
measures and they may react to the
advantage of our people whole.
I’m not claiming that sqifl^els and
raccoons don’t deserve special con
sideration, and as for the Bible, it’s
the greatest of all books. Neither
have I any objection ’to _a perma
nent blue-and-white color scheme
for license tags, and it they want
to hav& the primary on Wednesday,
Thursday or Friday, It’s O. K. with
me.
But Willis; we olkfe back home
are interested In something else be
sides those bills. The thing that is
uppermost In the minds of most of
us, is this husinebs of reducing the
tax on real estate pTOi>erty. And
that brings me up to the sugges
tion that I had in mind.
; When Mr. JohneoUi of Halifax,
comes up with a'hill to give con-
ifideration to squlrrejs and raccoons
I 'want, you to give him polite and
courteoua attention. And I want you
to ask him, a few quebtions.
“Mr. Johnson,” you might say,' -'l-
think this hill of yours is a mighty
fine thing. But will it help to cut
down the taX on real . estate in
North Carolina?”
"Why, of course not,” Mr. John
son. we’ll table this bill until later
on during the session.”
When Senator Lawrence appears
before you with his license-tag col
or-scheme bill, you might (juiz him
along the same lines.
‘‘Will It help cut down taxes?”
, "Of course not.” . .
