Percent Of Timber In
South Is Destroyed s "
Destructive mortality accounts fo
1!{ percent of the drain .on llvln(
timber in .the beuth, says R. V\
, _ Grabber. KxlOUsloii ti>iester of N. <
Stale College. Tl\e destructive fort
' ?>s are chieily lire, uiaecis, ui&ea.s
and wind.
"Timber farming is a grr,.it b
dustry in the Southern states,
Crabber said, 'but it can be a grea
er and .higher iucoriie-vruducirig
dustry if care is taken to contru
. destructive forces.
Keceuf data compiled by the L
H. Forest Service and other ageti
clrs allows that 40 percent d 'h
timber used in the South is mad
into lumber. Another tsh i*-icon
goes for fuel^ wood, t . percent fo

"We ,iii North t'aiollira ran u?

Other points in progressive tim

Have you made an" efTort to sto]
fires from reaching your land fron

Have you had your land posted a

t Better
Farm Buildings
Needed In This State
The changing agriculture of North
Carolina has brought into sharp
relief the need for better farm build
lugs, says JO. S. Weaver, head of the
State College Department of Agricultural
Engineering. He referred
especially to the expansion of llve?
stock production, and the need fc??
H animal shelters, feed and cattle
barns, and other such equipment.
Two other types of buildings
which are in increasing demand.
Prof. Weaver said, are grain storages
nnd sweet potato curing houses.
>Each of these buildings requires
careful consideration In properly In
eating it and in its design and con
strttction.
To assist farmers with the constructing
of gruin storages add
sweet potato curing houses. fb?i
State College Department of AgciI
cultural Engineering maintains a
? free blueprint service which in
eludes plans for these and many
other types of structures.
Prof. Weaver suggested that farm
people get in touch with their couti
ty agents of the State College Extension
^Service. Agents have complete
lists of all plans available at
State College, and most of the plans
are illustrated. All'orders for blueprints
should be placed through
county agents. They are free.
The agricultural engineer thinks
that the time will shortly come
when farm buildings can be erected
or repaired advantageonsly with
respect to cost of materials and labor.
"It la true , that building materials
are higher than usual now,
he stated, 'and labor is also affected
by defenee pnognanAs including
the establishment of Army camps
and the like. However, as soon as
thteise pubWc works are completed
both materials and labor should be
more reasonable."

Lovestock Prices
Reported Higher
Kaleigh. April 21.?North Carotin
farmers received substantially
greater prices for the livestock pro
ducts last month compared with the
same period in 1940 ''as a result of
iMcre'ased purchasing power, partially
attributed to ap expansion of
national defeuse program," T. L.
Stuart, junior statistician of the
State Department of Agriculture, re
V ported today.
i
Quoting the U. S. agricultural
Marketing Service report.for Mardb
15, comparing prices with the same
date last yean Stuart said that hogs
brought $6.SO. up $1.60 per 100 lbs;
beef cattle $6.10 per 100 pounds, upi
30'cents; veal calves, $8.50 per 100
pounds, up 60 cents; sheep, $4.90
per 100 pounds, up 20 cents.
Chickens were selling for an average
of 15 cents a pound March
! 15. or 1.3 cents above the same date
| last year; butter averaged producI
ers 24 cents a pouud, or two cents
above the-same period a year ago.
The price report for March 15
compared with the same- period in
1940, follows *
Wheat |1 per bushel, down nine
cents; corn, 7<T cents a bushel, up
five cents; oats, 55 cents a bushel,
down one cent; barley, 79 cents a
bushel, same as last year; rye, "97
cents a bushel, down one cegt;
Irish potatoes, 75 cents a bushel,
up 15 cents.
Lespedeza Crop No. 2
In Nation
Raleigh, April 21.?North Caroil
a ranks second in the Nation in
the production ofclean lespedeza
seed, W. T. Wesson, junior statu
tlcian of the State Department o't
Agriculture, reported yesterday.
Production of clean lespedeza
seed last year totaled 19,152,000 lbs
22 percent under the previous year.
Federal-State Crop Reporting Set
vice summaries indicate that grow
ers last, year sold 34 per cent of
their lespedeza seed to dealers, 10
percent to other farmers and held
13 per cent for future sales.
"North Carolina farmers held 43
per cent of their clean lespedeza
seed In 1940 for planting this year,
with 38 per cent tor Spring planting
and give percent for later seed
' ing, . Wesson ura.
"While North Carolina is an important
lespedeza seed producing
state, the crop is still relatively new
to our farmers,'.' he added. "JLiespedeza
was plaanted lu Union county
in 1915 as a soil-improving crop.
Three years later, a few farmers
began cutting the crop for hay. And
*ln 1923 it was reported that growers
were saving seed for their own
use and selling surplus seed.
'In 1928, leaped era acreage fo?
seed covered 4,000 acres; whereas
In 1938, a total of 145,000 acres were
harvested for seed. Increased use
of combines have brought growers
greater savings of seed."
Wesson explained that " the
drought in the southern piedmont
counties last season cut the yield
of lespedesa considerably, with
additional losses being incurred be
cause plants were too short for hat
vesting with combines."

\ Drunken Drivei
Tragic Deaths (
Drunken drivers are oil the rampage
in Xoyth Carolina and constitute
one off the factor# contributing
to the current serious increase in
traffic deaths on the streets and
highways of this stare, the High- j
way Safety. (Division reported . this
week. Basis
for this report was a <-ecJrd
number of revocations for drunken
Iriving and a considerable Increase
-111 traffic deaths caused by drui 1 -n
drivers.
It' .ocarjoils for Janiyary, Febrtfary
and March lotuled 1,809, the
liglicst three-months olnl on rec>rd.
Since enforcement of the law
elating to drunken driving is more
>r less constnnt. an increase in re- i
'ocotioiiH points to an tilcrea\> in
'he prevalence of drunken driving
officials said. i
Drunken drivers killed 120 per
on* In North Carolina last " year.
traffic deaths in the state in February
of this year and 10 of tre 70
.'citUed March fatalities to date
were caused by drinking drivers, ac
cording to records of the safety division.
'Thus; 27 out of the 157 fatalities
for the two-months period,
or 17 per cent of the total, resulted
from drinking and driving. This
was five percent above the 1940
average. "
TWenty seven people were killed
In this state in February and March
by drivers who were foolish enougli
to thifTk that th?v mniii
drive safely after taking a few
drinks, declared Ronald Hocutt, dl
lector of the Highway Safety Dt
vision. Of all types of traffic accidents,
1 know of none for -which
there Is as little justification or ex
cuse- as those involving drinking
driver^.
"To the end that accidents ot
this type may be eliminated as a
factor in our accident problem, 1
appeal to all North Carolina driv-t
ers to refrain from mixing their
drinking and driving, and I urge all
enforcement officers fn the state
to be unrelenting and extremely
vigilant in apprehending and bring
ing to justice this ruthless killer-^
the drunken driver."
