Conservation
Farming News
By J. T. McLAURIN

Ashe county farmers will soon
be through with the 1943 harvest,
and since our nation faces a criti-
cal shortage in pulpwood, much
time should be devoted to getting
it out. This will give employment
during the winter months, bring
in extra income on the farm; util-
ize a product which in many cas-
es will soon go to the bad; accel-
crate growth where stands are
too thick; eliminate undesirable
and diseased trees, along with
backing the fight by putting this
much needed product on the mar
ket.
c. H. Shatley is planning on
getting out some logs which he
peeled some time ago, and was
unable at the time to get them
out, due to shortage in farm la
Dor. There are lots of others who
were in the same fix Mr.. Shatley
was, but now can plan on con-
tributing spare time to cutting of
chestnut wood and pulpWood.

Homemade Bombs

How many persons think of home fruit
and vegetable canning as being dangerous?
A timely bulletin by the National Board
of Fire Underwriters on hazards involved
in oven pack methods of preserving fruits
and vegetables has just been issued.
The oven pack method is the most dam
gerous means of preserving because it is
not possible to regulate oven heat so that
conditions do not introduce hazard from
a pressure explosion in jar or can if the
top has been tightly sealed.
In one recent case, a Pennsylvania wo-
man placed nine pint jars of snap beans in
her gas range oven and set the heat regula-
tor at 275 degrees. A short time later a
violent explosion blew the range apart,
broke the gas pipe connection and seriously
sitting in the kitchen.
ut was very evident that the tops had
been tightened," says the bulletin, "and
when this has been done temperature of
275 degrees will produce a steam pressure
of 20 pounds, which is far in excess of the
safe limits of a sealed glass jar, or even a
tin can. Oven regulators are seldom kept
in such condition as to insure their accura-
cy from with 10 to 20 Degrees"
Several precautions were offered to
those who used pressure cookers for home
canning. It is necessary to be sure that the
safety valve operates at a low pressure, and
that the steam pressure gauge reads accur-
ately. The Tugs holding the cover in place
must be in good condition and properly
frightened, and it is Of the greatest impor-
lance to release the steam before loosening
any of the cover Tugs. Never try to i'm
provise pressure cooker.

Pleasanter March 15ths

Most income tax payers have found
that the biggest burden is not in tax paying
but in filing the return. The report has
become so complicated that it is apt to con-
fuse an expert, to say nothing of MIR. Aver
age Citizen. Happily, there is chance
that the form may be simplified
A very good sign is that Chairman
George of the senate finance committee, af-
ter reviewing the treasurys proposed
blank for our final report in March, sent it
back to the treasury with the recommends
ton that it be made more understandable.
There are probably many new income
tax complications in store for us, but it is
encouraging to know that the men in the
drivers seat are beginning to talk about
simplification. If the trend keeps up,
there may be a March Is in the distant flu
ture when we will be able to figure out
what we owe the government by common
arithmetic instead of by pure guessWork.

CUTTING PULPWOOD

future, Chairman Roy H. Grouse,
said.
At the meeting, the committee
members pointed out that there is
much wood in the county that
must go into the war effort, but
said farmers should guard against
stripping their lands of trees that
are not ready to be cut and that
will be of much more value later,
and to practice selective cutting.
A copy of the pledge to cut
pulpwood three extra days this
year is published on the back
page of this paper, today. All
farmers are urged to sign this
and send it in either to the COM
mittee or to The Skyland Post.
