Fire Is Greatest
Enemy of Forests
In North Carolina

College Station, Raleigh, May 18-
Fire is the greatest enemy of North
Carolina forests, according to DR.. ].
V. Hofmann, director of the State
College school of forestry.
Consequently, fire protection is the
most important phase of the forestry
program now being carried forward
in this State, he said.
There is no purpose in planting
trees and improving forest stands if
fire is going to burn over the area a
little later, DR.. Holman pointed out.
Neither is there much encourage
ment for the individual landowner in
trying to protect his woodlands from
fire unless his neighbors are doing
the same thing.
Fire protection calls for complete
and whole-hearted cooperation not
only in the suppression but also in
the prevention of fires. In this re-
gion, nearly all forest fires are start
ed by careless people, Dr. Hoffman
continued
Forest fires are more serious than
most peaple realize, he stated. Many
things that if the trees are not killed,
the fire has done no damage.
Fire Injuries trees, he went on, Oft
en- checking their growth for several
years. Large trees may be SO badly
SCARED that heart rot develops and
disease sets in.

Sweet Potatoes
Should Be Set In
Uninfested Soils

College Station, Raleigh, May 18-
when possible, sweet potato plants
should be set in fields where the soil
is free from wilt, stem rot, black rot,
root knot and scurf.
1t this is not possible, said DR..
Luther Shaw, extension plant path
ologist at State College, there are
certain control measures that will
check these diseases.
1t the plants are to be placed in
land known to harbor wilt or stem
rot fungi, the root ends of the slips
should be immersed in a Bordeaux
mixture containing one pound of cop
per sulphate (blue stone) and one
pound of lime to IL gallons of wa
ter. The solution should be prepared
IN wooden tub or stone crock.
After the roots have been ip1mers-
ed, drain the excess chemical from
the plants and set them out before the
chemical dries on the roots. If the
soil is dry, water the plants.
For land known to harbor scurf
fungi, place a handful of sulphur in
2O-pound paper bag. Take 25 to so
slips from the plant bed and place
THEM IN the bag with the root ends
down, then shake we'll until roots and
steps are we'll coated with sulphur.
Transplant the plants at once.
When both wilt and scurf are in the
soil, the plants should be treated with
Semesan Bel instead of sulphur and
Bordeaux mixture. Dip the roots in
to a solution of ore part of Semesan
Bel to 100 parts. of water, then trans
plant Immediately.
The only means of controlling black
rot and root knot on susceptible va
rieties is to plant the slips in disease
free fields. When necessary to grow
them ON infected land, use only Jer-
sey or Porto Rico varieties, which are
resistant to these diseases, DR.. Shaw
stated.

The Daily Alaska empire., 1936-02-15

Commenting on the contention that elimination of the center jump speeds up the game, Allen said he was afraid there would be too much speed. both for the players and for the spectators. He said the plan would mean faster play at the ex pense of skill in ball handling.
 Spectators, he said. wish for a few lulls in the game. Continuous excitement is too much for those with weak hearts. A surprise play cleverly and cunningly executed without doubt provides the high light of many games. Those patrons who attend games on account of the superior skill and teamwork of their favorites will come again while those going merely for the rapid-fire, shuttle, slam-bang type of game will soon become satiated.'
 Allen also deplored the rating of a basketball game by the size of the score, pointing out that baseball fans exclaim at the skill of the players in To game.
 Effect on Players
 As to the effect of the absence of the center jump on the players, Allen said:
 Formerly a time-out was two minutes long. Then someone dis covered that the heart resumes near normal pulsation within 45 to 60 seconds after violent exertion. Now the time-out period has been cut to a minute. Opponents of the jump ball have had it abolished after successful free throws, giving the ball immediately to the team scored upon. This speeds the game without particular harm to the player, since he has had 10 to 25 seconds relaxation during the free throw.
 Putting the ball in play immedi- ately after a field goal would con- tinue the strenuous exertion by which the goal is attained, and give the players no chance for needed rest.
 T see no need of abolishing the center jump unless all jumps are abolished and some other equitable way found for putting the ball into play"

 The 1925 games were featured by a thrilling demonstration on the part of the huge crowd assembled, At 42, George Goulding, the daddy of all heel-and-toe performers, had trained and conditioned himself for nine months in hopes of matching strides with Willie Plant, Americas premier walker Of that day, and { Ugo Frigerio, of Italy, in the 5,O00- meter walk Goulding's physici1 . refused to permit him to enter the race. The crowd remained silent for moment when the announce ment was made, and then, as Goulding walked out Of the infield, they stood up and cheered the vet eran to an echo.
 Hoff Provides Thrills
 Then there was the remarkable exhibition of skill, stamina and willingness on the part of Charlie Hoff, of Norway He scared to a new world record of 13 feet, inch in the pole vault, finished a third in the "Millrose 600," and then topped off his evenings work by outfooting Tommy Campbell, or Yale, all the way on the first leg of the international relay.
 Roy Conger's triumph over Paavo Nurmi in the Wanamaker mile of 1929, the first defeat suffered by the great Finn indoors, set off an- other remarkable crowd demonstra- tion. The band struck up The Stars and Stripes Forever" men and women stamped and cheered
 No witness will ever forget Loren Murchison's sporting gesture in 1926. Running the first leg Of the international relay against Houben, of Germany, Murchison waited for the latter when he stumbled and gave him the rail, to boot It was necessarily an instinctive act and stamped the great sprinter as real sportsman.

 And what a raft of memories the Millrose games stir up
 Away back in 1915 there was the much heralded match sprint race between Howard Drew, the first Of the line of great Negro sprinters, and Jo Loomis, blend bean-pole from Chicago. Drew won the race by inches in world record time but Loomis did not know the result of the close race until long after the announcement was made.

 Jump Rotation
 "If opponents of the center jump think the present rule puts too much premium on tall centers, why not adopt a rule of rotation, such as is used in baseball? Let the two centers jump the first time; then the visiting left forward and his guard, and so on. Such a plan might bring together players of un- equal height. but that is exactly what happens now on held balls. Moreover, there will always be a premium on tall players to recover the ball on it's rebound from the blackboard"
