telling how to grow early plants.
In addition to information on
temperature-controlling devices
and cultural practice, DR.. Luther

entomologiSt, have contributed
sections on disease an insect con-

preparation, seeding and fertili-
cation of frames and hotbeds. He
also takes up transplanting and
frame management.
RoWell tells how to control the
seven most common insects which
attack early vegetable plants
namely: Cutworms, flea beetles,
aphids, Cor plant lice), red spid-
crS, cabbage maggots, mole
crickets, and stubs.

Save The Woods
From Fire Loss
(By c. ]. Rich, County AGENT

Wy ~" 81 ASASAS SOuAky I6OhSI
The old adage, "A dollar saved
is dollar made, can certainly
be applied to our woodlands. AS
a good farmer you are interested
in saving little money for a
rainy day and at the same time
interested in increasing your
cash income. Quite a number Of
our farmers have been increas-
ing their income through the
proper management of their
woodlands. However, we feel
that a great deal of money which
should be coming in to Ashe
County farmers has been going
up in smoke. By this we mean
that if woods fires were stopped
in Ashe County that we would
greatly increase the income from
our woodlands.
Woodlands Of this county are
not fully stocked due to the
woods fires which have been oc-
curing each year l feel sure that
if you will walk through some Of
the woodlands in this county you
will see that more trees could
easily be grown. The more trees
there are, up to a limit deter
mined by the fertility of the soil
and the size and spacing, the
more timber is produced. A stand
of 200 crop trees on acre will
yield considerably more than a
crop of 100 trees. With woods
fires kept to a minimum in Ashe
County we would secure we'll
stocked stands of young timber
which would increase the ulti-
mate yield per acre considerably.
Where fires have been kept down
you will notice we'll stocked
stands of timber.
When an acre of corn or small
grain is destroyed before you
harvest it, you Immediately figure
the loss to you in terms of dol
lars and cents, as the loss would
be estimated by the expected
yield. The same is true of your
woodlands, every time fires go
over your woodlands you lose
money. Woods fires destroy
young trees, injure merchantable
timber, rob the soil of humus
and destroy food of birds and
other wild life. Prevent woods
fires, increase your income, and
"Save that Dollar" through in
creasing the growth of your tim
Der. Growing timber is bank
account which can be added to
each year with but very little
outlay by the owner.
"Fire-breaks" cut the farm
woods into smaller blocks afford
a good, practical means of pro-
tecting the woods on an individ-
ual farm A 'fire-break" can serve
a dual purpose-fire protection
and when raked-give leaf litter
for farm use. If interested in
a protection system or your
woodland we shall be glad to dis
cuSS the matter,

It's Danger Ahead if functional
kidney disorders cause getting up

Spark within us, person may later
repudiate his own wise choices, as
did Solomon.
Only yesterday I listened to the
pessimistic words Of a psychiatrist
who declared that, as they reach old
age, many men cast off the inhibi-
lions which have governed their
early life. He declared that old men
are not usually so steadfast and
noble as young men. They lose their
finer ideals and their spiritual grace.

do not want to believe that. Yet
it was true of Solomon, the wise.
He married many wives and took
over their heather religions so that
the land was filled with idols. The
great king was an early advocate OF
the modern cult of syncretism He
believed in merging of religions.
In his later years he would have
served as an eloquent member of the
group of highbrows who go up and
down the land proclaiming that all
religions are good, and that toler-
ance is the supreme virtue. This
mood is cutting into the very vitals
Of the Christian religion, dethron-
ing Christ, disregarding the cross,
and, by implication, casting out the
Bible.
Is there not something of cause
and effect in the fact that Solomon,
when he discarded his single loyalty
to Jehovah, became an oppressor of
his own people, money greedy i'm
perialist. self-centered exhibition

with God without showing the
effect of this disloyalty in social
