RESETTLEMENT FOREST
PROJECTS TO GUIDE
PRIVATE LAND OWNERS

Raleigh, Oct. 3.-One of the chief
aims of the federal government in de-
veloping forestry projects under the
Resettlement Administration is ia
demonstrate to private land owners
in North Carolina the value of the
farm forest as permanent invest
ment, according to James M. Gray, Of
Raleigh, N. c., Regional Director Of
Resettlement's Land Utilization Di-
vision.
eve expect to be able to make def
mite announcements regarding plans
for forstry projects in North Carolina
within a short time" Gray said, "and
I sincerely hope private land owners
ers in this state will wach closely the
development of these projects.
1.-THE Forest Service of the United
States Department Of Agriculture,
the state forestry Departments and the
forestry divisions Of the state agri-
cultural colleges have made great
strides in emphasizing the value of
farm forestry. The Resettlement Ad-
ministration will carry out all of it's
forestry projects in close cooperation
with these important agencies. Many
of US have had an opportunity to OBJ
serve the work they have done and
the Resettlement projects will be so
located that it will be possible for an
even larger number of private land
owners to watch development of these
projects from the very beginning.

NORTH CAROLINA FIRST

North Carolina continues to rank
first among the states in the con-
sumption of fertilizer, commonly re.
ferred to as guano. The Fertilizer,
commonly referred to as guano. The
Fertilizer Review reports the con-
sumption in North Carolina for 1884
as 876,874 tons. This is three hundred
thousand tons more than was con-
sumed by the second ranking state,
South Carolina. The chief fertilizer
consuming states in addition to North
Carolina are South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, and Virginia, or
six adjoining South Atlantic States.
North Carolina alone consumes
nearly three times as much fertilizer
as all the New England States. She
consumes one-fourth of all fertilizer
used in the entire South. She con-
sumes more than all the six Middle
Atlantic States combined. And
strange as it may seem, she consumes
more fertilizer than all twenty-four
states combined classed as Middle
Western and Western states, from
Kentucky and Ohio to the Pacific
Ocean. =
Without the liberal use Of fertilizer
In North Carolina, crop yields would
be very low. A long period Of exhaus-
tive cropping plus excessive erosion
have reduced native fertility of our
land to the point where it is practically
impossible to secure much Of yield
of any crop without liberal applica-
lions of fertilizer. There is no ques-
ton about whether or. not it is profit
able to use fertilizer. It is not only
profitable. 1t is imperative. It is pos
sible, of course, to follow system of
farming that is not so exhaustive Of
land fertility, and not so conducive to
erosion which has done far more to
destroy our soils than cropping has
done, but our farmers do not prefer
to follow that system.

ITALY BUYS WAR EQUIPMENT
BUT ETHIOPIA is NOT ON LIST

Reports from Washington are that
comparatively minor exports Of fight
ing equipment had been shipped from
the United States to Italy but listed
big shipments of material that goes
into it's making.
Secretary Hull, in whose depart
ment the new munitions control board
functions, made available figures to
show only about $4,000 in arms,
cartridges, airplanes and airplane en-
gines were shipped up to September
% this year, the state secretary re-
ported, of which $3.50, 900 was in air
planes and engines. @
Commerce department foreign trade
figures for August, however, showed
near record shipments of cotton lin
tiers, useful for explosives; scrap iron
and steel; trucks which could carry
troops, and tractors convertible into
tanks. Most of the trucks went direct
to Italian Africa.
Commerce figures for the period
to September % were not available,
but experts estimated a growing
trend of such exports to Italy, and
pointed out that total trade with Italy
has. been increasing in the past few
months.
Hull's figures showed no export of
war materials to Ethiopia, opposing
Italy in the east African controversy.

HERE APRIL Il, II
Cancer and Other Diseases
to Be Discussed at Sec

Cancer and other diseases will
be discussed thoroughly in Washing
ton April II and IL, when surgeons
and hospital officials from the Dis
trict, Maryland, Virginia and West
Virginia convene here for the sectional
meeting of the American College of
Surgeons, it was announced yesterday.
Some Of the country's most out
standing medical authorities will speak
on the nature of cancer and its pre-
vention. A community health meet
ing, free to the public, is scheduled
for the evening of April IL in Con-
stitution Hall, when an opportunity
will be provided citizens to learn much
of value concerning the prevention of
cancer and other dread diseases.
Cancer can be cured provided it is
recognized early and the patient i'm
mediately seeks competent medical
attention, according to DR.. Robert B.
Greenough of Boston. president of the
American Academy of Surgeons, and
noted authority on cancer.
In statement yesterday DR..
Greenough declared that contrary to
common belief cancer is not always
a hopeless disease, and in support of
this assertion, he recalled the an
nouncement made by the College of
Surgeons last october of 24,440 cases
OF cancer cures. some of them five
or more years after treatment. Some
cancer clinics in the country have
reported cures in different types of
cancer, ranging from 10 to 66 per cent.
