Chestnut Trees
Killed By Blight
Timber Source
Good for Lumber Purposes
if Not Left Standing
Too Long

Chestnut trees which have been
killed by blight are still good for
lumber if they have not been left
standing too long.
But eventually the trees will de
cay, if left standing, as the organ
isms causing blight will invade the
wood, said DR.. r. F. Poole, plant
pathologist at State College.
The. blight has reached into all
.parts of Western Carolina, yet
many live chestnut trees can be
found. How long they will escape
the disease is an unanswered queS-
ton.
Dr.. Poole expressed hope that
the blight organisms would lose
their virulcncc in time, but admit
ted there are a number Of ObSta-
clcs that make control difficult.
The root systems of dead trees
often live on for years and send
up prolific growths of suckers,
some of which attain a diameter
of six inches. These suckers help
to keep the blight fungus alive.
Chinquapin trees arc mildly Sus-
ccptibIc to chestnut blight and
they, too, help keep the fungus
alive and can spread the infection,
With chinquapins serving as
source Of supply, the fungus may
continue to be plentifuI--So pIrn-
tirul that any attempts at rcTorcs-
tation Of chestnut trees may be
failures.
A number of chestnut trees are
kept growing at the college as
source of seed stock to be used III
reforcstation in the event that the
blight becomes less virulent or
that practical ways Of controlling
the disease arc found.

This spray should be followed

this the calyx spray was advised.
If these sprays arc applied ON

ume of Business at 5
Million Dollars

Sales Of beef cattle and sheep
brought Western North Carolina
farmers an estimated S3,0OO,OOO
cash income last year.
The estimate was made by L; |.
Case. animal huSbandry specialist
Of the State College extension SER
vice.
Last year, Haywood county
farmers sold 5000 mead OF beef
cattle for close to $4,000. THIS
number amounted to 81 per cent
of the cattle population of the
county according to the last fed
cral census.
Working from n similar percent
age for the other Is mountain
counties. and striking an average
figure for the sale price Of an M
dividual animal, he estimated the
beef cattle sales for I'll II noun
tain counties at $2,750,O0O to S.
100000.
To this figure he added the
$3SO.S5O income from sheep m
the same western counties, which
brought the total to more than
S3,OOO,OOO. which Case believes Is
a conservative estimate.
Beef cattle and sheep have been
grazing on Western North Caro-

Q: How can | get rid Of mites
in my chicken house"
A: If the mites are well eStab-
lishcd all perch poles and their
supports should be removed, dried
manure removed, and the inner
walls Of the house swept down.
All litter should be removed from
the nests and floor. The entire
inner part Of the house as well as
the perch poles should then be
sprayed with solution of three
parts of crude petroleum or car
bOlincum to one and Onc-half
parts Of kerosene. 4 mixture of
spent motor oil and Kerosene. al
though effective in the removal
of mites, does not have the last
ing effect of the carbolincum or
crude petroleum.
Q: What is the best spacing for
tobacco plants in the field?
A: A distance of "a inches be-
tween hills with the rows 4 feet
wide has proven most satisfactory
under average conditions. On the
more fertile soils, however, even
closer spacing will prove profit
able. The plants should be cul-
tivated about a week to 10 days
after transplanting with a small
cultivatOr. Following this, the
crop should be cultivated every
week or 10 days up to week be-
fore topping. The soil should be
thoroughly broken and middles
scattered at each cultivation, care
being taken, however, not todis-
turb the root system when siding.

He has now announced himself a Re-

County Commissioner.
Recalling his great hurting feats, one
cannot help but wish him lots of luck

Frank Hawks.

Lieutenant Commander Frank Hawks
was something more than famous flyer.
During recent years especially he had
been promoter of the science and the
business of aviation. No longer ago than
last Saturday he was doing his part to
educate the public to appreciate the prac-
tical value of sir transport. He wanted
his country to lead the world in aero
nautics, and it was his conviction that
popular comprehension was necessary to
progress.
Particularly, he desired people to un-
derstand that the art of flying is not
imperatively dangerous. The speed
records he had set between 1929 and 1885
had involved taking chances which he
did not recommend to others. From
April, 1887, onward he urged the de-
velopment of philosophy of safety for
air travel. He preached caution to pilots
in the interest of confidence among
passengers. All the more pitiful is it,
then, that he should have died from

WOOing Hungary.

Frantic efforts to stem Hungarys drift
toward the Rome-Berlin axis are evident
from the broad offer of settlement which
the Little Entente made yesterday to
Hungary, whose regent and chief gov
ernment officials are now subjecting
themselves to the Establishments Of Nau
diplomacy.
-Four specific points of agreement were
involved: The abrogation of the military
restrictions of the Trianon peace treaty
and grant of full military equality to
Hungary; non-aggression pacts between
Hungary and the three nations of the
Entente-Rumania, Czechoslovakia and
Yugoslavia settlement OF minorities
questions between Hungary and the En-
tente members; and negotiations on
Danubian navigation, tentatively set for
the fall.
Despite the sweeping nature OF the
projected accord it is notable that there
was not specific agreement on any but
the release of Hungary from armament
restrictions and this loses its significance
except for ethical purposes when it is
recalled that Hungary already has far
surpassed treaty limitations in rearming,
taking large quantities of military equip
ment from Germany in payment for
purchases of foodstuffs. In agreeing to
sweep away the treaty of Trianon the
Little Entente statesmen have done little
more than accept fait accompli. But
even so their action was creditable In
that it recognized reality.
The matter of non-aggression pacts
was settled only in principle, however,
and actual details remain to be worked
out, as also in the cases of the minor
ltles and the Danubian navigation. The
lncompletion of these, then, leaves the
door wide open for Germany to bid just
little higher to Admiral Nicholas
Horthy. Premier Bella 1mredy and For
eign Minister Koloman Won Kanya.
Hungary will be unable, in her own
interest, to enter non-aggression pact
with Czechoslovakia until the fate of
the Hungarian minorities is decided, and
Czechoslovakia is prevented from under
taking any commitments in this respect
until the main minority question of the
Sudeten Germans is resolved. And in
that settlement Germany is having q
loud voice.
1t is not likely that Hungary would
Jump the gun on Germany in the oues-
ton of minorities when by waiting for
Germany to take the lead she may benefit
from whatever concessions the Reich
forces from the Praha government. For
the minorities question in Czechoslovakia
Is unitary problem. Whatever adjust
ment is granted the Sudetens will have
to be extended as matter of course to
the Poles, the Hungarians and the
Ruthenians.
1t appears a trihe like the Entente
takes too much for granted if it assumes
that 1t now has Hungary tied up and
safely out of Hitler's reach. Horthy and
his retinue are still in Germany and will
be until Sunday. That gives Hitler plenty
OF time to counter the Entente's offer.
1t looks profitable for Hungary to have
rival neighbors bidding for favor, but she
can be sure that payment will be ex-
tracted later for whatever consideration
she receives in the present.

These stand them in good stead, when
they are transferred later to the aqua

Many Of the small fishes which bring
good prices all fall and winter are bred
in the outdoors. either hereabouts during
the time specified, or in Florida pools
the year around.
There is no possible way to cover a
pool and at the same time give sunlight
access to it except to use some sort of
wire netting.
Pools must have sunshine. for water

one or two lilies?
That is why pools seldom do we'll in

the pools are filled with leaves all the
time, and the other debris from trees
Persons who establish small ponds in
their gardens soon realize how many
strands, pods. seeds, wings, blossoms,

A wire netting would prevent some Of
this matter from reaching the water.
All such forms of plant life make an
acid reaction in the water, and too much
acidity Is not desirable.
Screens for such use should not be Of
iron. which Is harmful to fish life,
rusted or unrusted. but preferably should
be of some coated metal From personal
experience, we believe that there is no
harmful effect to goldfshes from gal
vanized metal.
We kept three gold6shes Tin the sum-
mer of 1882 in wash tub sunk in the
yard. This was one of the ordinary
galvanized affairs to be found in any
department store.
The metal did not hurt the fishes in
any way. In fact they doubled in length
and must have quadrupled in weight by
September, when they were taken in
doors.
The water lily did not do so we'll. bear
ing out the contention OF experts that
neither the ordinary day blooming pond
lilies nor the night bloomers will do well
in such a pool.
But whether this poor growth is due
to the effect OF metal, or simply to lack
of fertility, Is the question. Lilies of all
Arls are gross feeders, and it is prob
ably impossible to get enough fertility
in such a small container. In large
pools, the cypress boxes which hold the
lily roots have almost as much cubic
content as the entire small tub pool.
Chicken wire used over pools could be
of the largest mesh.
The important thing would be wheth-
er 1t were pegged down strongly enough.
1t would be easy for very small pools,
not so easy over larger ones. Such ma
terial can be purchased in long strips
and these could be bound together with
wire at the meeting edges, else they
would prove useless.
Such a mesh covering, if put over
properly, would keep dogs out. These
big fellows sometimes like to play and
splash in pools, and when they do SO
they roll the waters beyond repair

Such mesh. many will feel. would
