PULPWOOD SAVES
LIVES TOO!
Although pulpwood mak
es most of the powder now
being used to blast paths
for our fighting forces to:
Berlin and Tokyo,—pulp
wood also performs many
missions of mercy.
Pulpwood can claim par
tial credit for the remark
ably high recovery of our
wounded men. Out of each
100 Gls wounded in this
war, only ,hi ee die. That is
less than orie-third of the
death rate in World War 1
Prompt treatment on the
field or immedia ‘ely. behind
the lines is mainly respon
sible for the savin : of these
precious 97-out of iOO lives.
And this prompt treatment
is made possible by pulp
wood.
Blood plasma, which has
worked miracle- on every
front,.is packaged in paper
made of pulpwood. * Every
fighting man carried a
package of paper protected
sulfa drugs and tablets in
to battle. A newly-develop
ed surgical gauz-, made of
pulpwood, has stopped the
blood flow of man" a GI un
til he could oh c l a doc
tor’s care
All bandages, surgical
dressings, surgical- instru
ments, and first aid dress
ings are delivered to field
stations in perfect condi
tion because of sneeial pa
per packing Exsjj ambu
lances ;\r nan r protected
for overseas -.hipment . It
takes 52 pounds n>“ paper tc
wrap each one.
.So when ypu are trying
to decide whether or not tc
cut pulpwood, remember
some boy’s life may depend
on your decision.
FARM NOTES
Since" the test demon
stration program Is proving
to be a big help in improv
ing our soil and standard
of liriag. several sections
of the county are request
ing its expansion. In 1944
two new areas were added.
They were Possum Trot
area, with 25 area farmers,
and the Upper -Tacks Creek,
with 54 area farmers. Re
cently the county commit
tee selected Pig Pen area
with 46 farmers, as the next
project to be inventoried,
mapped and started on the
area demonstration work
To date, 141 farmers are
cooperating as unit test
farmers and 128 as area
farmers. Since the program
began nine years ago, it
has furnished to farmers of
Yancey county over 100,-
000 worth of fertilizer ma
terials in the form of phos
phates and nitrates. As the
demand of the people in
creases for area demonstra
tions, the county agents’ of-,
fice will work toward their
completion as fast as possi
ble. With limited personnel,
full cooperation by the far
mers will materially speed
un the program.
