Estimate Great Damage By Fire National Forest Lands, only ten of these counties at present, including Onslow,-are cooper ating with the State in Forest fire protection. The forested area of these 10 counties, again exclusive of Federal lands (which are given protection directly by the Fed eral Government) is about 2, 564,404 acres. Annual reports by the State Forest Service indicate that in those 10 proteced counties there occurred in 1935 a total of 400 forest fires which were extinguished and reported by State Forest Wardens. These fires burned 15,266 acres of land and caused an estimated damage of $19,042, represent ing $1.25 damage for every acre of land burned. This is, of lack of s&ong, dry wind. An other fire may practically de stroy all young timber and ev en mature, marketable trees if conditions of drought, wind and steep slope are hazardous at the time. Furthermore, the dam age done by a forest fire can not be entirely appraised jndt after the burn, as can be don$ with the destruction of a build ing or a stock of merchandise. A forest fire nearly alwajre) causes indirect losses due to erosion, to destruction of wild life or its food, to insect dam age orlater windwall damage to standing timber, to curtailed recreational value and to other such processes. These loss# ■■■PH These' loss# often exceed the actual direct and immediately visible dam age to the land and timber: Hence the belief of the Forest Of the 13 eastern counties constituting District Four of the State Forest Service, hav ing a total forest area of about 3,462,031 acres, exclusive of . Ashas been stated previous-1 ly, Wallace, the world's largest: strawberry market, has its *t tractions, but never more than the present have so many peo-( pie beep.' interested., Some are OQnpemed with an .attempt to( satisfy their curiosity, othert, J as State Employment Service oflAcials, wanting to get a first hand view of local work. Noticeable, however, is the influx of panhandlers. j Several cat games have been stationed here since immedi aitely prior to the first sale of. berries. A merry-go-round and ferrie wheel, an annual affair looked forward to by scores of people, followed, and now that the market is in full swing, streets, street corners, and ev-| ery door is filled by someone selling dog-collars, pencils, ra zor-sharpeners, and whathave you. Perhaps we can’t truthfully state that all are panhandlers, but their individual intentions are disseminated to mean the garnering of an easy, if not truthful, livelihood. We haven’t made any check on the true ills or afflictions of some of our vi sitors and we can’t accuse them of taking advantage of veraci ty. All, thus far, seem to bej giving patrons their money’s worth, whether it’s in hitting | the milk bottles or. buying pen cils. Several, however, don’t seem to be making any attempt to give you anything for money except P9ssibly a few tears af ter you get into the privacy of] your room. Ah, but our more, unfortunate brothers do incite j such P^y! May the Lord helpj us. ■ We-'d really like to know just til rough what medium these money-grabbing visitors learn Of places where money flour ishes, eveA though momentari ly? During the fall you c«n find- them at- every football game, sometimes the same ones year after year, and then you always have to notice them on busy corners in larger cities. How do the/ know, and how do they get around, and where do they stay? From all we hear there is a local shortage of rooms for even probable cash customers, much less for those with no visible means of a reg ular Income. Exciting some curiosity is the velocipede, maybe that’s what it can be called, used by a one-legged panhandler. He doesn’t seem to be selling any thing; he just sits in front of the Bank-and talks. His tricy cle is a rather ingenious affair. We’ve seen him scooting along several highways recently, pushing and pulling at a hand lebar that enables direction as well aB motion. Just around the same corner is another one legged beggar, but he does sell pencils. One fellow the other night was working a pretty shrewd game; betting that you could n’t pick out the red card out of three cards laid on a board, but the cops got him. He’d bet even on the first card and if you missed he gave you two to one on the second try. ’Tis said that he was cleaned last straw berry season when one of the local boys stuck a piece of chewing gum on the red. Part of Duplin Featured In Topography Discussion Suggests Farmers Curtail Corn Acreage and Increase Soil Improvement Crops Guy A. Cardwell, A. C. L. Railroad Co. Agriealtaral. A Industrial Agt, Continuing the .dissemination of information contained in Ex tension Circular No- 208, North Carolina State College of Agri culture, started last week, I am showing below the description given therein of farm condi tions in Area Two, with recom mendations for improvement. Area Two "Area 2 includes Carteret, Onslow, Pender, New Hanover, Brunswick, Columbus, and parts of Craven, Jones, Duplin, Sampson and Bladen counties. This is the flat coastal reg ion, but without large inland bodies of water such as are found in Area 1, and therefore with fewer swamp areas. There is, however, a high percentage! of silt loams and sandy loams which, owing to the level topo graphy, or to the fact that they are underlaid with hard-pan, are rather difficult to drain. Such soils, when underlaid byj a sandy clay subsoil without a| hard-pan, are very productive after proper drainage has been, established. There are also sections in this area known as sandhills or pine barrens, where the soils are almost pure' sand, and are of no great pre-' sent agricultural value for. growing crops. All lands that ara unfit for cultivation as well as the cut-over lands not need ed at present, should be devel oped as pastures or reforested ■- . " 1 this week in discussing the strawberry situation. These are fungus diseases, leaf spots and leaf scorch respectively. In ad vanced stages they greatly af fect the yield, size and quality of the fruit by tending to burn or dry up the berries and kil ling the calyx. In the most se vere cases they sometimes kill the entire plant. There is no non-poisonious spray or dust known that will effectively control these dis eases, therefore plants cannot be sprayed during the picking season.. When they appear at this time of the year, there is practically nothing to be done but endure them, it was said.
