SCS Activities F. O. Clark, Dittrlct Contarvationist Perhaps list week's article iroused your interest in establishing new wood crops. That's the theme of our article this week. To establish new wood crops, plant seedlings in open fields or interplant them in wooded areas after determing that the soil is suitable for growing the kind of wood crops you want. You can get instructions for tree planting from your soil conservation district; from county, State, or Federal forestry and soil conservation agencies; or from forest industries. Plant the kind of trees that arc adapted to the soil and climate of your community. Conifers will often grow in soils that are suitable for hardwoods; for example, where the soil has less moisture than that required by hardwoods. Use tree-planting machines where possible, especially in fairly large areas. Interplant desirable species in wooded areas not fully stocked, or on land occupied by poor species, if natural reproduction is too slow in getting .started, or if seed trees of good species are scarce. Plant in open spaces in the woods where light reaches the ground. In areas where you cannot use tree planters, use any handtools, such as grub hoe. mattock, tile spade, shovel, or specially College News Dale Jones was installed as a member of the Gamma Psi Chapter of Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity at Mercer University Southern School of Pharmacy in Atlanta.

Field windbreaks control soil blowing and protect crops from blowdown. firing by hot winds, loss of soil moisture, and damage from frost and sleet. They serve as snow fences in wintei and help build a soil moisture reserve by holding snow on fields. Plant windbreaks around farmsteads to protect the buildings, garden, and livestock from winds. Farmstead windbreaks reduce home heating costs and livestock feed bills. They increase the quality and quantity of garden crops. Animals protected by windbreaks gain more weight than unprotected animals. Some farmers and ranchers prefer windbreaks lo enclosed livestock shelters. "Critical areas" include gullies, sand dunes, stream banks, and other raw areas. Planting in such areas often includes special site preparation, mechanical structures, and maintenance. In gullies, plant trees to control erosion, stabilize soil, and provide dcsilting areas or basins. In sand dunes, plant trees to prevent shifting and blowing. Along streambanks, plant trees to prevent bank undercutting, control streamflow, and reduce the sediment load. In other silt-source areas, plant trees to control erosion, protect adjacent areas, and reduce reservoir siltation. For watershed protection, plant trees to provide cover for soil protection, improve the absorption rate and the water-holding capacity of the soil, and improve the quality of watersheds, and to contribute to flood prevention.

S. Young & Phil Ricks County Agricultural Agents Five points made by Duane Acher, vice-chancellor of the institute for agriculture and natural resources at the University of Nebraska are worthy of some thought. (1. Exports are extremely important to agriculture. Foreign buyers of soybeans and corn today may be purchasers of red meat tomorrow. (2. Agriculture is the savior of the U.S. dollar and will continue to be. It's the only thing we have a comparative advantage in. (.V Food is an important force in world diplomacy, and the US. has a higher proportion of the world's exportable food than the Arab countries have of oil. (4. The livestock business is an increasingly important segment of agriculture, simply because we are all increasing the quality of our life. (5. To maintain the productive capacity of agriculture will require a continued flow of technology and well trained young people.

Smith Claims Drug Use Influenced Him In Trial A decorated combat veteran who was a defendant in a civil suit heard in Superior Court last week said he was under the influence of a drug when he threatened the plaintiff s attorney during the trial. Arol H. Smith Sr., a retired sergeant living near Rockfish, said that Raeford attorney Philip Diehl was aware that he was taking medication and took advantage of that circumstance. Smith was being cross-examined by Diehl in an action brought by David Propst, seeking damages for an assault said to have been committed by Smith last June 25. Smith said Friday that Diehl's questions were improper and involved other members of his family not named in the suit. When Diehl next asked what Smith had previously been tried and convicted for. Smith said he "was fixing to be convicted of taking you apart." Superior Court Judge Hamilton Hobgood quickly excused the jurors and warned Smith against any further threats. The jury awarded $1,000 damages to Propst. "1 had just taken a pill, a drug I have to take when 1 get under pressure," Smith said. "I do things when I take that pill that I wouldn't do otherwise. "Mr. Diehl knew I had just taken that pill. I told him. 1 got permission to go get a drink of water and take my medication. Mr. Diehl knew better than to do what he was doing," Smith said.
