Radio Notes
CAME THE DAWN

Like the literary industry which it resembles, the motion picture has developed vocabulary of cliches which come in handy to a director who wants faithful tool to ease his work. Fay Barnett, who recently directed Walter Wanger's Stand h." while admitting that he origin ated' the Game the Dawn" cliche in silent films, would like to forget this early enthusiasm. He says of cliches, nevertheless: q don't know how many feet of film have been saved by this ingenious device. The technique of modern picture making has managed to articulate cliches in terms of action, quick cuts and sometimes whole scenes-so that they establish immediate impress sions and help a director put his ideas over with consummate suc- cess"

VOICE PERSONALITY

If ten world-famous figures had chosen motion pictures instead of other careers, they would have at- tained screen prominence-even stardom-according to 8 "voice per- sonality" vote cast by three film notables. Ballots were filed by Car ole Lombard and Fredric March, CO., stars in Selznick's color comedy, Nothing Sacred" and by William Wellman, director of the piece. Unanimous choice of all three for number 1 place was Franklin D. Roosevelt. Next in line were the Duke of Windsor, Aimee McPherson, Ted Husing, Dorothy Thompson, Richard Halliburton, Sir Anthony ! Eden, Hiram Johnson, Arthur Van- denburg and Al Smith. Without voice personality" it was agreed, no one could hope to crash the talkies.
 The daily electric current cost for producing the night battle scenes for Samuel Goldwyn's The Adven- lures of Marco Polo," starring Gary Cooper, approximate $69 an hour or at the rate of five cents per kilo- watt hour. Sixty-f1ve electricians, working 65 incandescent and 183 arc lamps, handled peak loads of 12,o0O amperes-enough electricity to bathe 800 homes in the most brilliant H. lumination. The PAS lamps used on location illuminated recreation of the walls and an enclosure of the City of Pekin, magic capital of Ca- thay during the reign of Kublai | Khan.

Both of these are recognized stand
ard methods, but the question is:
Which is the better practice for the
Vance County farmer from the stand
point of sound farm economy? How
are you taking your timber harvest?
Seed-Tree Cutting Method.
The seed-tree method usually calls
for the cutting of all merchantable
timber except a specified number of
seed trees per acre and then wait I'M
til nature has grown another crop,
thus starting again with bare land.
There are many reasons why this me-
thod Of cutting timber is unecono-
n1ical for farmers. Most Of the objec-
tions viii be obvious to the layman
as we'll as the farmer. Among them
are:
/, The long wait between timber
crops and periods of money income
If Vance County pines are cut for
pulpwood by the seedtree method, the
farmer will have to wait 20 to 80 years
for the next crop, depending upon the
species of pine, quality of land, and
the protection fro mfire
2. The uncertainty of natural reseed-
AA16 III IA1C AAC<AI Vi w. 1CCSCCdHl2 us
ually requires from to 10 years at
best, often longer Heavy cutting of
pines opens the way for the rapid
incoming of oaks, gums, myrtle, or
other hardwood trees or shrubs, which
retard or prevent pine reproduction.
8. Good seed trees are often not
available. Clear cutting for pulpwood
is often done before the timber
reaches a seed bearing age, thus no
choice seed trees are available
4. The rate of growth for future
crops is greatly reduced. The amount
of growing stock, or capital in the
Woods Bank, is SO reduced as to make
fair growth impossible. Therefore,
the annual supply of plant food and
moisture is lost.
There are cases, however under GER
tain conditions of forest type and of
ground cover where it may be de-
sirahle to cut clean nd'splant the land
Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1938-04-23

The heavy demand for pine pulp
wood in the South has served 20 focus
attention on the best method of cut
ting timber on farm woodlands. Vast
quantities of pulpwood have been and
are being cut from farmer-owned tim
berlands without any definite plan for
future growth or later crops.
How a Vance County farmer cuts
his timber may be a personal ques-
ton, yet it is Of vital Importance to-
the county as whole. Vance County
has 7085O acres of farm woodland.
This is 50 per cent of her entire farm
acreage. The economical future of
both her agricultural and her indus
trial development is dependent to a
large degree upon the size and quality
of the timber harvest from these for
est acres. From such a viewpoint,
how Vance county farmer cuts his
timber crop becomes a vital public
question. Success in timber farming
depends mainly upon two factors:
1. How the owner protects his for
est from fire, and
2. How he uses the axe and saw, or
allows them to be used, in his tim
Der. A slight error in judgement here
often means no profit and much dam
age to the timber and the productive
capacity of the land.
How Are You Taking Your Timber
Harvest?
There are two methods of harvest
ing the timber crop to perpetuate the
forest stand by natural means and
provide for continuous or future
crops:
1. Seed-tree Cutting, or cutting out
all merchantable trees except a few
for seed trees, and
2. Selective Tree Cutting, or har-
vesting a timber crop by selecting the
trees individually.

Cut Timber Wisely.
While many acres of Vance county
farm woods are not now producing
tree growth at full capacity due to
forest fires and prom;scuous cutting,
these woodlands offer one of the coun-
tvs greatest assets. BY adopting wise
and systematic cutting practices and
full proection from fires, the Vance
county farmers can expect stump
age of income of from $4,000 to
$4,000 annually, plus a labor income
from the harvesting and marketing
of the timber products of from $213-
900 to 1920, 900. If local wood-using in
dustries work these products into the
finished articles such 4 timber mar
vest makes possible Industrial pay
rolls, increased business, and n stab

ment, management, and use of the
farm woodlands is a community pro-
blem and a community asset.
