SOIL EROSION /.
CAMP ACTIVE
W. R. Hoots, Formerly Of
County, Explains Work
Done by Government

W. K. Hoots, of East Flat Rock,
has recently moved to Forest City,
where he is superintendent of the
soil conservation camp located at
Spindale, opposite the fair grounds
on the highway.
Work is done in radius of %
miles from the camp, covering
Rutherfordton and touching two
other counties, which will enable
the camp to do some work in Polk
county.
For two years Mr.. Hoots was
connected with the forest service
camp as forester in Burke county.
The first work of the soil er9-
sion service included demonstra-
ton area around Greensboro, High
Point, and Wadesboro. Under a
later appropriation for this work
the service has % camps in North
Carolina. This work is federal
project, carried on by the depart
ment of agriculture, in co-opera-
ton with the state extension ser
vice. 1t differs from the soil erp-
sion service activity of the Ten
nessee Valley Authority in that
iva works in the watershed only,
but the aims are practically the
same.
| Mr.. Hoots says that the U. S.
Soil Conservation Service is cav
rying out a complete program for
each farmer who desires to coop
crate in having work done on his
farm. Connected with the camp
is the camp superintendent, a soil
specialist, an agronomy or field
crop specialist, a forester, and a
farm engineer, and trained tech
nician for signing agreements with
the farmers. All of these men arc
especially trained for their par
ticular work.
The techpician goes over with
the farmer on each individual
farm the details, such as the ma.
ture of the particular farm, what
its best production may be. The
farm may have worn out marginal
lands that need to be taken out Of
cultivation and placed in woods,
and in some instances lands may
be suited for pasturage.. In some
cases strip cropping is recommend
ed to prevent soil erosion. This
consists of alternating strips of
grain and grass, or lespedeza, o.
some other cover crop. This pre-
vents washing and at the same
time does not do away with the
, cultivation of the land.
Each farmer is assisted in put
ting on crop rotation program
that will build up and make more
productive the farm. A timber
standing improvement program is
also provided for. This calls for
the removal of diseased or undo
sirable trees while the brush in a
cumberland is mulched and left in
the timber area.
All of these operations are fit
in to fill the needs of each farmer
in a way that will help him build
up his farm and make the better
parts more productive in order to
retire the soils that are washing
away and have become unproft-
able.

SHOP NOW AND MAIL EARLY

To assure the delivery of Christ
mas packages, cards and letters in
time for Christmas, the public
should shop now and mail early.
It is impossible to handle the
great mass of Christmas packages
in a few days, so to avoid dis
appointment caused by. the late
arrival of Christmas packages, the
effort should be made to start
them in time to warrant delivery
in time for Christmas. As the
mailing rush is during the two
weeks before Christmas, the Har-
din post office will remain open
from 8 a. m. until 6 D. m. on the
two Saturdays preceding Christ
mas. Packages received on Christ
mas morning up to and including
those arriving on train No. AZ

Origin and Evolution of Flags.

The hopes and aspirations, the
Joys and SORROWS, the romance and
.chivalry Of the human race are
symbolized in flags. We find their
origin in Divinity itself, when Je-
-hovah, after the Flood, unfurled
in the heavens the first flag-the
multihued banner of the rain
bow-as a signal of danger ~assed,
of safety assured.
Mortal man, since that time has,
in his humble wav used emblems
and banners of various kinds to
express his hopes, his ideals, his
STRUGGLES, his accomplishments.
When man began to emerge
from his state of isolated savagery
and started to live in tribes,
of the first needs he felt was an
emblem or sign which would en-
able him in battle to distinguish
the members of his own tribe
from his enemies. At first this
was accomplished by using clubs
of a certain ~attern or decorating
when shields. CLUMSY as they were,
INSIGNIA was r,aced ~ the shield.
LII IllC COu4oC u G111lC I1lCoS u uOC
devices were supplanted 49, skins
of animals fastened to poles so
that thev could be seen and rec
ognized at a considerable distance.
From these primitive beginnings
may be traced the origi.- and evo-
luton Of the flags of civilized
man.
In the popular mind the flag of
a nation Is associated ~~imarily
with its wars, due no doubt, in a
great measure, to the origin Of
flaes that has inst been evnlained.
However, its war achievements are
onlv a part of what the flag of a
nation represents. It also repre-
sents its peace accomplishments,
which often are greater than those
of war. The ideals and traditions
of a ~"onle, their progress and
achievements in art and science,
commerce and agriculture, are
symbolized by their flag.
Let us not, then, make the mis-
take Of always associating our
flag with war. Let US remember
that it r%enresents also the peace
achievements of the American
neorle. and let us not forget that
peace hath her victories no less
renowned than war"
