Foreman calls attention of farmers to the North Carolina brush burning permit law This law is a part of the N. C. General Statutes and is in force Ir^m the first day of October "to The "first day of June inclusive. The burning permit law states that it shall be unlawful for any one to start fires in woods, or within five hundred feet of woods during the hours starting at mid night and ending at 4 p.m., with out first obtaining a permit. This is the third year that the law has allowed individuals to burn between the hours of 4 p.m. and midnight without first obtain ing a permit. It was found during the last two years that most peo ple were able to get their neces sary burning done during these hours. Fires started after 4 p.m. are much easier to keep confined to the desired area than were the fires which started in the morning or middle of the day. County Ranger Foreman asks for each person's fullest coopera tion in complying with this Law and in all phases of protecting the woodlands of the county. Permits can be obtained from all employees of the Division of Forestry and from local permit issuing agents.
