PAGE TWO THE YANCEY RECORD ESTABLISHED JULY, 1936 Editor Mrs. C. R. Hamrick Published Every Thursday By YANCEY PUBLISHING CO. A Partnership Entered as second-class matter November 11th, 1936, at the Post Office, *at Burnsville, North Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1879. REFOREST 5 MILLION ACRES, SAYS GRAEBER North Carolina has about 4 million acres of woodland has been poorly cut over and in many cases ■ burned over to* a point where there is now only a sparce stand of growing; trees. There is also another, 11-4 million acres of clear ed land that is idle, with much of it badly eroded. ! R. W. Graeber of State College, who is in charge of Extension Forestry, says that a good portion of this land should be reclaimed through the planting of trees. As matters now stand these lands are returning little if any income. Graeber maintains that a balance should be estab lished between land in cul tivation, land in pasture, and land in growing timber As a general rule, he says that trees should be planted 1 * if * * **♦*♦**+ ******:************ ************** j SEWING MACHINES j j - REPAIRED - ] !

In the Mountains and the upper, Piedmont, where woods are open or poorly stocked be-j cause of grazing, he sug-! gests underplantings o f white pine or Norway spruce. For general planting, l Graeber recommends the spacing of forest trees about 6 by 7 feet. This re-J quires 1,000 trees per acre.' In reclaiming gullies, 5 by 6 feet spacing may be avail able. Farmers desiring infor mation of what tree seed lings available for plan-, ting, what types are best for their farms, and other such information, should .contact the county agent. | F. S. A. Program in Counig The following article lists some points in the far rea ching Farm Security Pro gram in Yancey county and is taken from the supervis ors’ report: Since the inception of the! Farm Security Administra tion, approximately ten years ago, over 450 low-in come farm families have been assisted in Yancey county. Today hundreds ofj families are now well on! their way to better farming! and better living through! sound financial assistance, combined with on-the-farm teaching and guidance in sound farm and home prac tice that enables each fam ily to farm better and tb live at home better. During 'its approximate ten year history in Yancey county the work of the Farm Sec ' urity Administration i s shown from the folio-wing i major practices recom | mended and followed out in the rehabilitation of low ! income farm families. 1. Soil Conservation and. Improvement: All families! have been encouraged to! develop a sound fanning' system that will conserve their land resources and improve the soil, which leads directly to better far -1 ming and better living ' Cover crops are now being used on a larger scale than ever before. Over 90 per I cent of all FSA families are now using legume crops to improve the fertility of the soil in their regular crop rotation. The use of lime and phos phate on pasture and grass land is now a reality, wher eas a few years ago it was | thought to be one of the “impossibilities” in moun tain fanning. Strip crop ping on hillsides today is the life of many farms. 2. Improved Crop Pro duction: Through the use of good or certified seed the yields of several crops have more than doubled. This is especially true with i Irish potatoes. According |to W. J. Fox of the Jacks : Creek section, “We now make approximately 300 bushels of potatoes when a few years ago we were NOTICE OF SALE NORTH CAROLINA YANCEY COUNTY „ , „ Whereas, on April ji, 1930,;.J. jL. Hyatt and wife executed a of trust to John H. Cathey, Tvustee, for Central Bank and Trust Com pany to secui-e certain indebted ness therein named, which instru ment appears of record in Book of Mortgages 19 at page 592, Records ! of Yancey County; And whereas, by an instrument dated January 17, 1936, recorded in Deed Book 84 at page 270, Re cords of Yancey County, the Cen tral Bank and Trust Company through its proper officers and agents duly assigned, for value, the said note and deed of trust to John Bennett; And whereas, the said John H. Cathey is now out of the State of North Carolina, and the under signed has been duly named as substituted trustee in the deed of! trust above referred to by an in strument of writing which ap pears of record in the office of the Register of Deeds for Yancey County; And whereas, default, has been made in the payment of said in debtedness and demand for fore closure has been made upon the substituted trustee: Now, therefore, I shall offer for sale at public outdry at the court house door in Burnsville, N. G., to the highest bidder for cash, at 10:00 o’clock A. M., or. the 9th day of November, 1946, the fol lowing described lots of land lo cated in the Town of Burnsville and more particularly described as follows: Being Lots 2 and 3 in Block E of the S. M. Bennett Addition to the Town of Burnsville as shown by recorded plat in office of Re gister of Deeds for Yancey Coun ty at Burnsville, N. C., to which plat reference is made for more complete description. This the 2nd day of Oct. 1040. J. Frank Huskihs, Substituted Trustee. Oct. 10, 17, 24, 81 Nov. 7 THE YANCEY RECORD lucky to make a hundred.” i Witn the proper use of : spiays and dusting, proper! fertilization and cultural practices, increased yields are evident throughout the! county- Corn yields have over; doubled on many FSA 1 farms in the county. Roy Mathas of the Cane River section reports that he is now getting around 100 bushels of corn per acre when in 1940 his average I yield was 30 bushels per acre. He attributes this to the use of lime and phos phate on grass, a good three year crop rotation with legume crops being used. 3. Improved Livestock Production: Through the purchasing o f purebred sires the quality of live stock has been greatly im proved. Emphasis has been placed on keeping beef breeding separate from dairy-type breeding, since a cross tends to weaken either breed. Two registered Jacks and 1 one Purebred Percheron Stallion have aided in the promotion of better colts in the county. During the past six years over five hund red colts have been raised !in the county. Over fifty Purebred bulls have been ; financed individually, and also on a cooperative com imunity basis, which helped in improving both beef tvpe cattle and the fast developing dairy industry in the county. Better feeding practices j with the use of wmter pas ture has helped livestock production- Over 100 im proved poultry houses have helped in increasing the winter supply "of eggs. Over a five-year period over 10,000 purebred baby chicks were added in the county annually. Many hom e flocks I are now composed of one j good breed, whereas i n years past a mixed flock was kept, with a low record jof production and output, i Approximately 200 sheep 'have been added to flocks 'already owned or to new growers. Several families are now profitably keeping sheep as well as other liye stock. 4. Better Balanced Farm Program: Many families participating in the FSA program now have a well balanced farm program. Very few are following the old practice of “putting all their eggs in one basket.’ Through FSA assistant and guidance a complete reorganization has result ed in a new way of life. Many families are now re spectful citizens and taking an active part in commun ity activities when only a few years ago they were “heavy in debt, down and out”—this being no fault of their own. Farm Loans One of the main object ives of FSA loans is farm ownership, but in lending money to families that are not eligible for credit from regular sources, the agency reasons that credit alone will not make these fami lies successful. It has been proven in Yancey county that assistance in reorgani zation and planning is nec essary in order to coordi nate land, labor and credit into a successful farm bus iness. Over 90 percent of all families participating i n the FSA program are using a diversified farming sys- Extermmate Rats It doesn’t do too much good to kill rats on yourj own farm- It’s community; action that counts.

To supplement income from Burley tobac-, Ico the dairy industry is fast developing into a big county industry. Truck far-| i miner and beef cattle pro-| duction follow. Many farm-' ; ers today have annual in-, come from four or five sources, when only a few i years ago tobacco was the main cash crop. < Continued next week i | Your Clothes Are | I Too Valuable for Chances! $ £ ' - \ • s When you buy new clothes you choose them carefully J (-arcl-. expect them to be good-looking and long-wearing. % % Choising your cleaner with the same care pays dividends %. % DonKfake chances with your clothes —send them to % QtiaHtyXleaners. i ■ £ - |jjjj \ We are now in operation- New Equipment; New Build- \ \ ing; Experienced Cleaners. % \ % West Main Street—Next Door to Super Market J QUALITY DRY CLEANERS $ % /V BURNSVILLE, N.
