Importance of Fire
Protection Program

Paul H. Gerard, of Franklin,
North Carolina, Supervisor of the
Nantahala National Forest, this
week addressed the National Forest
Supervisors Conference which is in
session here, on the importance of
fire towers in the fire prevention
program of the U. S. Forest Service.
"Fire towers are virtually the eyes
of the Service, and the tower system
on any Forest should be planned for
efficiency in fire control work, -
Supervisor Gerard said. He further
stated that the preservation and
wise use of all resources in the Ma
tional Forests are absolutely de-
pendent on adequate fire prevention.
Without fire prevention, timber
would be destroyed; stream flow
would be diminished by the destruc-
ton of ground cover which protects
valuable watersheds; the produc-
tivity of lands would be lessened by
erosion of soil; fish would be de-
stroyed by lack of waters; and game
animals injured and killed by fires.
United States Forest Service Off
Gals from eleven Southern States
are attending the conference at
Regional headquarters. This confer
ence will continue throughout the
week, and in addition to fire control,
the discussions will cover timber
management, recreation, game man.
agement, and the general admins
tration of the Southern National
Forests.

Burke Woman Is
Murdered, Burned

Morganton, May 30.-Apparently
the victim of a brutal murder, the
body of Mrs Erwin A. Stamey, 20,
was found enveloped in flames in a
burning bed at her home near Drex-
ell about midnight last night after
receiving a head wound that is be-
lieved to have caused her death.
Her skull was severely fractured
by blow from blunt instrument,
and the flames, which were discov-
cred before the bed had been entire
ly destroyed, had badly burned the
lower part of the body, both legs be-
ing practically burned off at the
knees.
A brother-in-law, Conley Stamey,
whose family occupied half of the
house, arrived home to find the
blaze threatening to spread through
out the room in which the dead
woman was alone with her two chill
dren, Betty Jane Stamey, four, and
Royce Erwin Stamey, eight months
old The infant, found lying in the
floor a few feet from the bed, re-
ceived severe burns on the left leg,
but the older child, sleeping in a
crib in the corner of the room, was
uninjured.

WARNS AGAINST PLANT
DISEASES OVER STATE

Weather conditions have favored
heavy outbreaks of plant diseases
this year, according to DR.. R. F.
Poole, plant pathologist at the N. c.
Agricultural Experiment Station.
Apple scab has appeared in many
orchards, he continued, but it can be
controlled with sulphur sprays when
the weather is mild. In hot weather,
spray with Bordeaux mixture.
Bad weather has retarded the de-
velopment of cotton, corn, beans,
melons, and other plants, but they
will have fairly good resistance to
disease if they are not thinned too
soon.
Don't use Bordeaux mixture on
peach trees, DR.. Poole warned. Spray
or dust with sulphur to control
brown rot on peaches, cherries, and
plums. For spraying, use any type of
sulphur that suspendeds we'll in wa
ter
The white, powdery mildew on
Dorothy Perkins roses, beans, ilacs,
squash, pumpkins, clovers, crepe
myrtle, and other plants can be con-
trolled with sulphur spray or dust.
Leaf spot, or blister disease, on
maple and oak has appeared in
parts of the State. Although it mars
the foliage, this disease will not kill
the trees. It can be controlled by
spraying or busting with sulphur.
DR.. Poole also stated that diseased
sweet potato seed will always pro-
duce diseased plants. But healthy
plants can be grown from good seed
planted in soil free from disease.
Don't plant potatoes this year on
land where they were diseased last
year.
And don't transplant young tobac-
CO plants that are afflicted with
blue mold, he cautioned. Wait until
the plants have recovered. Plenty of

FARM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS

Question: How long after shearing
should 1 wait before dipping my
sheep?
Answer: 1t is best to wait until all
cuts made at shearing have healed
before dipping. This usually takes
from ten days to two weeks. One
dipping usually is sufficient, but if
any ticks, lice or mites are present,
a second dipping should be made ten
days later to destroy any parasites
that have Matched since the first
dipping. The treatment should be
given in the morning of a warm,
sunny day so that the flock may dry
thoroughly before night.
Question: Is it too early to turn
my cattle into lespedeza?
Answer: The chief value of lespe-
deza for grazing is that it furnishes
good pasturage during the hot sum-
mer and fall months when other
pasture grasses are dormant. For
this reason the crop should not be
grazed before June l for the Korean
variety or July for the other vari-
cites. The cattle should be taken off
the fields about October l. Where
the Common variety has been seed
ed the animals may be left on the
field until November l as this vari-
ETY. will reseed itself when grazed
down to one inch in height.
Question: Should wet mash be fed
to the poultry flock at this season of
the year?
Answer: Many poultrymen make
a practice of feeding wet mash to
layers as soon as they start break
ing in production in the spring.
Prior to this, however, the flock
should be carefully culled and all
birds removed that have definitely
gone out of production. The mash
should be fed in the early afternoon
and only in such quantity as the
birds will clean up in from Is to 20
minutes. After feeding, the troughs
should be cleaned and allowed to
set in the sun as moulds grow rap
idly in warm weather. The daily
feeding of wet mash should prolong
the period of lay.

Crop and Livestock Damage i'm New
Mexico Town Widespread

Muddy waters, sweeping down
the usually dry Hondo river bed, in
undated this Pecos valley city of APP
proximately $4,000 Saturday night
after the heaviest storm in 33 years.
Water ran from two to five feet
deep through the streets all day,
causing damage estimated at more
than 100000, and cutting off all
highway and rail travel. No deaths
were reported.
The storm, which swept in from
the Gulf of Mexico two days before
that precipitating flash floods in
many parts of the State, took toll
of six dead.
Police ordered people to remain
at home. Those venturing forth nav
igated the streets in hip boots and
boats.
Crop and livestock damage in the
valley was widespread, with the
Hondo spreading over lands on the
south and west and the Pecos, rising
more than an inch an hour, covering
an overwhelming area ten miles
east and west.
An unestimated number of motor
lists and passengers on two buses
from Ell Paso, Tex, were stranded
on ah Ugh point eight miles south of
the city. There was no fear express
ed for their safety.
The flooded area of the city is ap-
proximately four square miles. One
of few places to escape the tapping
waters was the New Mexico Military
institute.

State Joins Plea for
Fair Freight Rates
New Rate Schedule Effective on
June 9Th Will Increase
Freight Rates

The Southern Governors Freight
Rate conference, representing nine
states, protested to the Interstate
Commerce commission last week
against unjust and unreasonable"
railway freight rates.
A petition which had been adopt
ed by nine governors was filed We'd
nesday by Governor Bibb Graves of
Alabama, chairman of the confer
ence. In their petition the governors
argued that existing rates violate
provisions of the interstate COM
merce act because they constitute
unreasonable charges and ian I'M
lawful discrimination against COM
plainants and the public"
The petition named no specific
amount of reduction; but pleaded
for a parity of rates between south
ern and northern territory on manu-
featured and processed articles.
The petition, drafted at recent
conference of the governors, named
as correspondents in the proceeding
119 rail and rail-water carriers.
The petitioning states are Ala
bama, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Kentucky.
Southern cotton mills, represented
in the Associated Southeastern Tex
tile Mills, in another proceeding in
augurated last week, petitioned for
suspension of an order fixing rates
on cotton, wooden and knitting fac
tory products.
Counsel for the organization, in
Guiding 238 members, said the new
rate schedules, effective June 8, will
increase rates from southern terri
tory Is to 20 per cent.
