TREE LAND PAYS GOOD
INTEREST, SAYS
- ROBERfT PRESNELL
Presnell has just cut a tract of
timber which was 45 yeass t old.
This land has averaged paying
$13.50 an acre per yard for the ■
past 45 years.
Presnell also had this to say, the
land before volunteering in white
pines had been strip mined ami
was unsuited for pasture. One
thing more, if the land had grown
up with scrub oaks / and rhoden
dron as much of land was in
Yaniey County' the land would
have still been worthless.
Presnell advice is,, work the
worthless woodland we now. have
tc get desirable trees growing. By
this, he means, to poison undesirable
and set out white pines or
fence the more suitable sites to
allow yellow po'plar to grow.
The Yancey County Soil Con
servation -District, has a tree in

irable trees. i -

5. Water storage for any purpose,
ipcluding fish or wildlife habitat.
6. .Wildlife food plots or habitat
when plantings are for wildlife
food plots, or establishment o.f
wildlife habitat.
7. Volunteer cover including any
natural growth, provided any pre
scribed weed or erosion control
measures are carried out.
8. Protected summer fallow,
| provided prescribed protective
i measures are carried out.
NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK
Under proclamation of Governor
Terry Sanford, North Carolina is
joining in the annual observance
of Library Week. The following
by the North Carolina Committee’
for observance of the week is
timely:
READING *
Not everyone can be President;
not everyone can read as rapidly
as our President, but give'n enough
incentive and access to enough
books everyone can read. By
spending as much as 15 minutes
, each day, the average reader can
read 21 books a year. This can
mean 21 new ideas or more, new
friends and more information to
live by. It was James Russell
Lowell who so aptly described
reading as “The key which admits
us to the whole world of thought
ami fancy, and imagination, to the
company of ..saint and sage, of
the wisest arid the wittiest at
their wisest moment.” *
Studies show that about 90% of 1
what we learn comes through •
reading. Thus reading is as ne- j
cessary to learning as eating is to
life. ■■ |
What joy must be lacking for
the individual ‘ who “lias never I
experienced the discovery of a
new idea found in the printed
page, or shared the thoughts of
great men recorded for all genera
tions in the printed record, or the
sheer ecstacy known in the listen
ing to or the reading of beautiful
poetry. What a priceless heritage
I parents can give their children by
leading them into the wonderful
i world of books. Even a fretting
baby will respond to the sound Qf
rhythm of a familiar read
ing. Lasting images are made by
the father and the mother;- who
read. Evenings when family
members read aloud together
become cherished memories and
inspiration for life time reading
habits. FOR A RICHER, FULLER
LIFE READ. • -

KEEPING UP ON FARMING
WITH UNCLE WALT
I learned somethin last week I
sure was surprised at, and from
what I gather it’s been a goin’ on
for about five years now. The
funny part about it is I still
wouldn’t know about it, I don’t
guess, if it hadn’t been 'for old
Nancy, our brood sow. Bless her
heart, site's brought 'us 43 pigs in
the four litters she’s farrowed
since we’ve had her, but blame her
time, she still gits out of the
pasture ever once in awhile.
I’d jest come in the house after
runnin her for about 30 minutes
before gittin her back in the pen
ajftl fixin the fence. 1 w r as so
near give out that I set down to
sort of catch my breath. Fannie
had the radio on a 1> stenin while
she was doin some patchin, so
| While I was blpwin, I turned one
I of my earj, to what was bein said
over the radio. It weren’t but a
minute though before I had both
ears tuned in.
Yessir, wh: n I heard this feller
Tower a sayin that people weren’t.
earifa as many eggs as they used
to, I thought either he’s a lyin or'
he don’t know what he’s a talkin
about, one or the other. By the
time he got done talkin though,
he had pretty well made up my
mind that what he was sayin was
the truth. He let go with a whole
string of figures about how many
eggs is bein laid m the state each
year now and how many are
bein eat, but I can’t remember
none of 'em. One of 'em that did
stick with me though was the one
he used in tellin about the differ
ence in the number of eggs we’re
eatin now against what we were
eatin 5 years ago.. He kept talkin
about some kind of pe r-percapitol,
per captain or somethin like that.
Fannie said he was a sayin per
capita, which she says is one
person, but I don’t know whether
she knows any more about it than
I do.
Anyhow, if that’s what it
means, • then each per capita is
eatin three dozen kss eggs than
he was a eatin five years ago.
That’s what surprised me so. Why,
I bet I’m eatin three dozen more
than I was five years ago and
Fannie, why she eats that many
ever month i« egg-nog alone.
It’s funny how people’s " habits
change. Accordin to Mr. Tower,
and he ought to know what he’s
a talkin about he’s one of them
marketin fellers with the Agri
culture Department, over at Rale
igh, a lot of people ain’t eatin no
breakfast a tall now. Them’s
bound to be people who .work in a
office or who don’t work, one or
the other. By Ned, if they spent
most of their days a doin what I
do, I promise you they’d start the
day off with a good breakfast in
their stomachs.
Why, I don’t even go out to
feed my stock of a mornin until
I’ve had at least one egg to eat.
These people who can drink a cup
of coffee, eat a piece of toasted
light-bread and call that breakfast
ought to come stick their legs
under mine and Fannie’s table
one mornin. Ever once in awhile
we’ll have some oatmeal or mush,
and maybe on a Sunday mornin
we’ll have some pancakes, but re
gardless of what else we have

there’s always Some eggs on tha
table. They may be boiled one
mornin, scrambled.Wthe next * and
frieo whole the next, but they're
fried whole the next, but they're
always ate. ‘
Just as Mr. Tower finished talk
ing and they told us what ther
weather was goin to do for the
rest of the day, I turned off the
radio. Fannie asked me what I
did that for arid I told her I
wanted to talk to her while I was
restin. So, I asked her what she
thought about people a cuttin
down on their egg eatin. Fannie’s
a right outspoken sort of person
and she upped and ■ said, “Well,
everybody’s got a right to their
own opinion but save my life I
can’t understand why people who
can have a good breakfast of eggs
ever mornin don’t eat ’em.” *
