the application of a tree wound
dressing compound. These frost
cracks usually occur on the
southwestern side of a tree where
the change of temperature is
greater.
At this time Of the year it is
also wise to inspect the older,
ornamental trees on your home
grounds for signs of winter in
juries. Trees which have lost
many limbs as result of severe
storms will need to be carefully
trained 10 develop new crowns.
Injured trees may require care =
full and thorough feeding with
slowly available fertilizers to
help them regain health and
beauty.
If you have had deep SHOWS for
sustained periods in your area,
check young fruit trees for evi-
dence of girdling by rabbits, as
illustrated. Such injury is often
found just above the. winters
snow line, where the rabbits have
reached up to chew off the tender
bark of young trees. If the trunk
of the girdled tree has not beer
compltely encircled, paint the
exposed portion carefully with
tree wound compound. If the CIR
ding has completely encircled the
trunk, better plant a new tree.

say that Mr.. Ensign apparently
came to Wilmington for, his blast
at me on Friday, June II, with
out due authority from his SUI
periors in Washington. Perhaps he
wanted to come to Wilmington
anyhow and spend the week at ouc
beaches fishing. 1t is my under
standing that he has one of those
converted army barracks at Kure
Or Wilmington Beach which he
recently converted into a cottage.
Then, too, he had the misfortune
last summer of some culprit steal
ing his fishing tackle from his
car while parked in front of the
Cape Fear hotel. In telling me
this story several times with
language not fit for a gentlemen
to print, he inferred that we
didn't have nice people in the
Wilmington area.
''Another mis-statement made by
Mr.. Ensign was to the effect that
l told him that Wilmington was
getting a large number of new
industrial plants such as a sugar
refinery, a box shook plant and
a plastic eye glass frame fac
tory. 1t is true that we - in
negotiation with a number of in
dustrial prospects who have ex-
pressed a definite interest in the
Wilmington area for branch plants,
but I did not specifically mentioned
what is proposed to be manu-
featured. Perhaps, Mr. Ensign is
mixed up with some other area.
Most of the applications ap-
proved by Mr.. Ensign's office for
new buildings, industrial, COM
mercial or for repairs to old build
ings originated from other local
sources than from the office of the
Industrial Agent. The Industrial
Agent did follow up very definitely
with a number of cases where
denials yer issued from Mr..
Ensign's office in Greensboro.
These cases Wer taken up by the
industrial agent through the proper
appeals with the Washington, D.
c. office of Civilian Production
agency, and were approved. Such
cases involved the Queen City
Coach company's application, for
a bus terminal at Carolina Beach.
The A. & P. store repair job on
Market street, and the Ocean Mo-
tors building on Second street, and
others. Such construction ap-
prevails gave men work, and will
create new permanent jobs in the
