Systematic Firewood Harvest
Will Improve Your Forest

Farmers can defy the old adage,
"You can't eat your cake and keep
il too" No, sir, that does not apply
to the farm timber crop when we use
common sense in cutting the annual
supply of firewood. Every good farm
or is interested in keeping every acre
of his land at work producing on in
come and at the same time supplying
the needs of the farm. Quite a few
farmers are finding it good business
to help their woodland grow a better
and bigger crop of commercial timber
by practicing timber stand improve
ment through systematic thinning
OF their timber.
Using this method the farmer can
make his firewCod cutting serve as a
"two-edgcd sword" He gets his need
ed fuel to heat the home, cook the
meals, cure tobacco and at the same
lime improve the growing condition
for his timber crop by taking out the
crowded, crippled, diseased. or other
wise defective trees. He thus reduces
competition for both roots and crown
Of the choicer trees, giving each tree
an opportunity to develop smooth,
enough to pay good profit for use of
the land. It's just a common sense"
way Of doing the job-just thinning
and wedding your corn or chopping
your cotton.
The firewood needs on the farms
of Vance County can be taken from
our farm woodlands through these
Trimmings and the cutting of other
wise worthless trees without the ne
cessity of clearing more land to be-
come idle and non-productive.
If you will walk through your wood
land you will see acre after acre
where trees are too thick for growth.
BY cutting out the crowded, diseased,
and crippled trees these areas will
yield S to 10 and even as much as

E. Y. Floyd AAA executive officer

tobacco marketing quotas did not af-

payment on the normal production of
his acreage allotment by plantine
within the allotment, unless he also
grows cotton and knowingly over
plants his cotton allotment" Floyd

The TripleA official also said it
was important for tobacco growers to
remember that if they overplant their
tobacco acreage aMotments under the
conservation program they run the
risk of losing all of their conserve

crops.
eff a tobacco grower overplants," he
said, deductions will be made from
his tobacco payment. The deduction
will be made not only from the pay

also from the conservation payment
that otherwise might be due ON cot

HOme-Mixed Grass Seed
Recommended
Never buy mixture of grass seed
without knowing the contents, says
John H. Harris, landscape specialist
of the State College Extension Service.
Select the mixture for your local con-
ditions and buy the seed separate,
mixing them yourself he advises.
If the seed bed is poor and espe-

crop of peas or beans should be

the fertility and texture of the soil.
Unless the soil is very fertile, one
Or two-inch layer of well-rotted a.
nure should be worked into the soil.
To stimulate quick growth some COM
mercial fertilizer such as 6-8-6
can be added. The soil should be all
lowed to settle and only the top Layer
pulverized for sowing the seed.
Harris recommends that the seed be-
sown at the rate of three to five
pounds per 1000 square feet, or about
100 pounds per acre. Half of the seed
should be sown in one direction and
half in the other to assure a uniform
distribution
The quickest and most economical
way to start Bermuda (wire grass is
by its roots. Scatter these roots over
the lawn and cover them with soil.
It is advisable ito sow Ialian rye grass
with the Bermuda roots to provide a
