It will be well worth the time, ac cording to L. W. Anderson, County Agent, for owners of timber lands to attend this meeting, for information will be gained which may be highly profitable to them. The farmers in this part of the state, say those who have studied the situation, have an opportunity in marketing forestry products that they have possibly never had before. The location of pulp mills in eastern North Carolina and in territory ac cessible to Eastern North Carolina can prove of tremendous value to this whole area or may be of only tem porary value, depending upon the methods followed in cutting aria growing trees. Mr. Anderson, in discussing the situation here this week, referred to the fact that timber grows pretty fast in this section and that there is a good market for both pulp wood and also for timber. The only prob lem, he stated, is the proper manage ment. There are trees which are fit for nothing but pulp wood or fire wood. Such trees never will become timber trees. The timber trees grow ing near will have a better chance of development if the pulp wood and fire wood is cut out. On the other hand, no potential timber tree should be cut for pulp wood. The average man, wiuiouc some assistance, is unable to properly cull the pulp wood from the timber trees, which is the problem. Experts along this line will dis cuss the problem and other matters in connection therewith at the meet ing on Tuesday, and in addition to addresses on the subject there will be a free-for-all discussion of ques tions from the floor.

Purpose Enable Youth To Better Select Best Fitted Vocation COST ONLY $5 Winfall Boy Made Big Hit at Last Year's Session When the first Older Youth Con ference was held at State College last summer, there was present one young man from Perquimans, Winton Layden, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Layden, who live on their farm near Winfall. This year when the con ference convenes on June 7, Winton expects to be there and this time he is carrying alonp a car-load of boys and girls from this county. As a matter of fact, Winton made something of a hit at the confer ence last year and Perquimans folks who listened in at the broadcast on which he took part felt pride in the representative of the county. County Agent L. W. Anderson is very anxious that more of the youth of Perquimans take advantage of this opportunity of wholesome entertain ment, recreation and development, and urges all who can to attend. The conference lasts from June 7 to the 11. The purpose of the Older Youth Conference, as outlined in the bulle tin sent out from State College, is "to give information, training and in spiration which will enable young men and young women to select more intelligently the vocation in which they are best fitted to serve, thereby enabling them to render greater com munity service. The courses offered have been planned to fit the needs of the average young man and young woman living on the farm. They have been organized around practical lines and practical ideas, and repre sent those things which young people can actually do for themselves. In addition to the faculty and staff of State College, outside lecturers of national note have been added to the faculty in order to present the va rious vocations and professions." There will be a flat fee of $5.00 for the cost of the Institute. This will cover the cost of board, room, janitor service and other incidentals. Delegates to the convention should bring bed linen, blankets, towels, and other necessary toilet articles. Registrations will begin at 2 p. m. on June 7 at the State College Y. M. C. A.

In the Older Youth Conference is included a large group of young men and women who have finished high school but who are not attending college, and to whom the Conference can be very helpful. Those expecting to attend should notify L. W. Anderson, County Agent, at Hertford.
