n. c, ! nr. ivaca n, iri I 1 : Damage estimated ftt Wtfill was caused by 472 fires fcn&t swept oyer 89,068 acres of forest and .open land in Norh Carolina last month, State Forester Fred H. Claridge reports as he again stresses the danger of forest Bras at this season of the year. The danger of , forest fires will not lessen to any appreciable extent unless neople take all known precau tions to prevenf them, Claridge said, adding: ' "The quicker all of va rea- : llze this plain fact the better off the State will be as a whole because we must not forget that our forests are ; '.among our most valuable assets." '; The number of forest fires in Feb ruary exceeded those of January by 99 and caused almost triple the dam age resulting in January when 373 fires swept over 20,674 acres of for est and open land, causing estimated losses of $56,992, , Carelessness on the part of brash burners was blamed for 227 of last month's 472 fires. Smokers were charged with starting 95. incendiar- lats were accused of starting 74, campers and hunters reportedly start ed 17, and the remainder were charg ed to miscellaneous causes. -. How To Prevent Them Safe rules to prevent forest fires, Claridge pointed out, are: hold your match till it's cold then pinch it to make sure it's out; crush out all your smokers, and where there is an ash tray, use it; dorwn your campfire and warming fire then stir and drown; again; and if you must use fire to clear old fields or fence rows, to burn brush, ferns or trash, get a permit if required. 'Follow safe reules, burn on calm days only, have help and tools on Aand from start to finish; and tail very spark before you leave the burn ed area, WINFALL NEWS Hiss Edna Fadio and !Al Pierce -of Philadelphia were week-end guests of Mr. and Mrs, Charles Fadio, lit.

P. Moore, director of the Crop Improvement As sociation at State College. , Drought in other southern states, particularly Georgia and South Caro lina, is producing a drain on North Carolina's supply. Soch popular hy brids as Dixie 18 and N. C. 87 are moving south in large quantities. The supply of Dixie 18. which Is adapted to the Southeastern part of the State is already extremely short. The supply of N. C, 27 is dwindling rapidly. Dixie 17, which is adaptable to the Piedmont, Is practically sold out at some sources. . ' Dixie 82, one of the moot promis ing new hybrids which is adapted to eago. Both graded the sample yel the same area as N. C. 27, is still adequate. To eombat any rumors that Dixie' 82 will not grade yellow because of its red tinge, Moore sent samples to the State Department of Agriculture and corn buyers .in CS.1- low" without question. ... U.
