Darlington Entries Jump To Eleven Darlington, S. C., July 18— With six weeks remaining before entry deadline for the sixth an nual Southern 500 mile stock car classic at Darlington, S. C., four new entries released this week -have upped the field to eleven of an estimated 60 car starting field. Those entering include Monroe, N. C.’s Speedy Thompson with a ’55 Oldsmobile, Judge Rider, Dah lonega, Georgia, a ’55 Chevrolet, Gwen Staley, N. Wilkesboro, N. C. another ’55 Chevrolet and Don Thomas, Sanford, N. C- a ’54 Hud son Hornet. Thomas, brother of the two time winner Herb Thomas will drive the same car that won last year. The famous Herb, former NASCAR stock car chamniop and only driver with a chance of re tiring the huge Southern 500 tro phy with three victories, is a •waiting p hysical tests before he can enter this year’s big event. Thomas was injured lat May in a racing accident at Charlotte, N. C. Of the eleven entries, to date, five are new Chevrolets. Others incli/de a Chrysler 300, Dodge, Buick, Oldsmobile and Hudson. Qualifying procedure for the big race took an overhaul from NASCAR officials this week. With a record entry list looming offi cials have ruled that only the five fastest cars qualifying each day wil lhave preferential starting po sitions. This rule is applied to the first three days of qualifying, Au gus t31, September 1, and 2. On the final day all non-qualified cars will compete for starting positoins in accordance with their qualify ing time. The ruling was made to elimi nate the possibility of slower cars having a front starting position and possibly causing a pileup at the start of the race. Officials al so feel this will result in fater qualifying time and a definate threat to Buck Baker’s track re cord of 108 mph.

Now Nears Million Acres In Tree Farms Raleigh (Special)—North Caro-1 lina had just added 35,529 more ' acres to the American Tree Farm ! System of sound forest manage- 1 ment, bringing the state's total to 960,837 acres. The North Carolina Tree Farm Committee, in session at Raleigh, approved 18 new Tree Farms, making a total of 123 private woodland owners of the state now affiliated with the program. Woodlots ranging in size from 20 to 18,000 acres were considered by the Tree Farm committee, whose findings are based on act ual inspections by technical for A supplemental report added 1 23,144 acres to the International Paper Co. Tree Farm. That did not, however, change the state’s total acreage since the land had previously been, certified under another ownership.

To qualify as a tree farmer, an owner must demonstrate abil ity and willingness to manage his woodland under good forestry practice for continuous produc “As shown at the meeting,” said J. B. Lattay of Bolton, chair man of the committee, “the pro gram of forest management on private lands is steadily moving forward in North Carolina. “Kvery year more and more small landowners are recognizing the value of growing trees for commercial purposes. These people rae benefitting themselves as well as the wood-using industries which depend upon outside sources for their raw materials.” Be Proud But Cautious, Expert Advises Farmers It’s fine to be proud of your poultry flock and buildings, but let caution guide you in showing \ them off, advises R. S- Dearstyne, professor of poultry science at State College. Dearstyne believes that disease prevention is the best method of disease control. In view of this, he strongly urges poultrymen not to allow visitors in his poultry houses or on the chicken range. Most chickens have some disease producing germs in their digestive tracts or in their respiratory sys tems. It is also probable that all nocks have some intestinal para sites among their members. These germs lodge in the litter, on equipment and on range. Visitors who come to your farm perhaps have walked through their own poultry houses or someone elses. It is possible that they carry i disease organisms on their shoe,s . and there’s a good chance your flock will become infected. * 1 To survive in today’s competi tive market, the producer must eliminate all factors he can that increase production costs. Disease outbreaks often determine wheth er or not a poultryman makes a profit or suffers a loss, Dearstyne North Carolina Shown In Pictures North Carolina is pictured from mountains to coast in a ntw pho tographic exhibit, prepared by the State News Bureau of the Depart ment of Conservation and Devel opment, which began its first pub lic showing ’on August 6 at the Pack Memorial Library in Ashe The exhibit consists of 64 prints, some of them 11 x 14 and some 16 x 20, and a half a dozen 30 x 40 murals.
