Assistant State Forester F. H. Clar-

AS result, the supply Of pulp

tinuous supply over the years has

A recent survey on land being

practices. The survey was con-
Quoted by Forester C. C. Smith from

companies and those with whom
hey contract are doing selective, ra-

and are leaving a far larger num-
Der Of mature trees per acre for
re-seeding than they have ever
done before. They are also leaving
more younger trees to mature, SO
that they can go back and cut more
pulpWood every five or ten years
for an indefinite number of years,
SO long as fire is kept out of the
timberlands.
"This survey indicates that the
pulp company officials realize more
clearly that in order to protect their
own investments, they must be as
sured of a continuous supply of
pulpWood", Claridge said.

Potash Shipments
From France Will
Be Continued Here

New York, Dec. l8.-Despite war
in Europe, the American fertilizer
industry will continue to receive
large shipments Of potash from
France at the same pre-War low
prices, according to Jean LeCornec,
former Director General Of the sell
ing organization Of the French Pot
ash Mines, who recently arrived in
New York from Paris by way Of
Lisbon, Portugal, and the Atlantic
Clipper of the Pan American Air
ways.
MIR. LeCornec said: French pot
ash producers are continuing to
furnish potash to the American
market at the same low prices de-
spite greatly increased transpOrta-
ton costs within France, shortage Of
labor due to the war, higher ocean
freight rates and war insurance"
Heavy shipments Of French pot
ash salts have been purchased by
French Potash Company, Inc, 80
Rockefeller Plaza, New York and
will arrive at Atlantic and Gull
ports in the early future for de
livery to American fertilizer manu-
facturers. A number Of cargoes arc
loW enroute.
"Ships, which carry large supplies
Of American agricultural and indus
trial products to France, bring back
cargoes Of French potash, essential
in the manufacture Of fertilizer for
American farmers,' continued Mr.
LeCornec "The French potash de
posts are some Of the richest in
the world, containing enough to
supply the needs Of the world lor
hundreds Of years"
On his visit to New York, Mr.. Le-
Cornec is accompanied by his 10
year-old daughter, Yannick, one OF

Capital Gossip
By HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, Dec. 18.-It probably
would be a surprise to President
Roosevelt and some other liberals,
and even the conservatives don't
think it's true, although they wish
it were.
Ronald Hocutt, highway safety di-
rector, sent out a release the other
day to all newspapers in North
Carolina, among them Kinston
publication.

In a day or so back came the let

something never before attempted in
North Carolina, according to those
who ought to know about such

MECKLENBURG FARM
ACTIVITIES PUSHED

Charlotte, Dec 49, Favorable
weather conditions have set farm &C
tivities in Mecklenburg humming
along at a rate almost comparable
to that of spring, reports Farm Agent
O. H. Phillips.
Not only are growers completing
their small grain seeding and turning
land for 1910 row crops, but they
are running terraces, clearing thick
cts, and putting their farms in Al
condition. Those who were unable
to sow soil-conserving crops earlier
in the season are now completing the
job.
Likewise, an increased interest
in poultry indicates that farm fam
lilies plan to keep and sell more poul-
try and poultry products.

Russia, Britain And France
Sign Strong Military Pact

of the formal signing in Berlin of
the new Italo-German military
alliance which Nazis and Fas-
cists have held up as their an
swer to what they call Britain's
reinforcement policy.
France, which already has a
mutual aid pact with Moscow,
will be a party to the new al
lance and it was indicated that
strategic Turkey will be brought
into it without delay.
Enlistment of Soviet Russia
with 100000 troops and an es-
timated $4,000 warplanes was
hailed by British officials as a
fighting combination sufficient to
restrain the relationships from
any further aggression or at least
crush them if they should en-
bark on any such venture.
At a result of the British gov
ernment's decision today, Russia
probably will be brought into the
peace front in this manner:
1.-Britain, France and Russia
will conclude a three-power al
lance on the basis of complete
reciprocity meaning that if any of
the three powers is attacked the
others will lend immediate aid.
2.-1nstead of assuming the ad-
ditional burden of guarantees to
other states-in addition to the
Anglo-French pledges to Poland,
Rumania and Greece-the three
powers would agree that in event
OF an attack on any other Euro
pean nation which resisted and
called for help the three powers
would promptly lend aid with
all their armed forces.
