SOIL COOPERATORS
STUDY WOODLOT
Observe Progress Made
On Chris Boerger Farm

Fourteen cooperatorS of the
Union Soil Conservation District
visited the Chris Boerger woods
Tuesday afternoon to observe
methods of establishing and har-
vesting a good farm woodlot.
"As we have not pastured this
woods for several years." Mr.
Boerger stated, I'VE have a fine
stand of young trees coming on.
We are harvesting some of the
poorer species which are taking
up valuable space or shading out
some better trees, such as ash
and red oak We have also plant
ed a few tulip poplars, white
pine, and Norway spruce in this
open area covered with sod
where natural reseeding might
be a slow process"
E. V. Jotter, soil conservation
forester, discussed with the far
merS and the local Soil ConSer-
walton Service personnel c. c.,
Phillips and Ross S, Dodd, addi-
tional ways of making woods
increase the farm income. Mr..
Jotter stated, "A woods in this
county could easily produce $50
$50 board feet per acre per year.
In fact, Boerger's woods is al
ready doing that we'll"
Borings were made to deter
mine rates of growth of various
species. The forester explained
that rates of growth were deter
mined by the management prac-
tices followed. A woodlot needs
good management just as the
cropland must be properly
managed in order to obtain high
yields.
The group determined the val
ue of the increase in growth rate
and found that Boerger's woods
was increasing at the rate of
would be equal to the interest
$3.50 per acre per year. This
drawn on a S250.00 investment
annually figuring percent in
tereSt rate.
Mr.. Phillips, of the U. S. Soil
Conservation Service summarized
the meeting by making recon-
mendations to the group as to
steps which they could take in
establishing their own woodland
areas by:
First-R e move all livestock
from woodland area.
Second-Destroy the sod in
open areas by blowing or disking,
Third-R e plant open areas
where suitable seed trees are not
available to reSeed themselves.
Fourth-Use evergreen border
paintings of pine and spruce.
Fifth-Remove weeds such as
ironwood and grapevines.
Sixth-Harvest less desirable
species to give better species a
chance to grow.
Seventh-HarveSt all mature
and dead trees except den" trees.

H. and Sarah (Kempton) Penhor-
wook, who, at that time, were
newcomers in this community
having recently moved here from
Knox county.
Being one of the elder children
in family of nine, Evie early
learned to carry responsibility
and assist about the many tasks
which such a household always
provides. Thus, while yet in her
youth she acquired habits OF
usefulness and efficiency in SER
vice that fitted her for her long
and helpful life
For some considerable time
during her young womanhood
she was employed at the Union
County Home, as assistant to the
matron-who was her aunt Lib
Southland.

She was a m e m b er of the
Bethel church having transferred
her membership here from Nc
Kendree where she had been con-
Verted in her youth during an old
fashioned Methodist revival The
genuineneSs of her Christian ex-
perience has been proven by six
ty years of faithful, loyal service
to Christ and the church.
AS long as her health permitted
she was active in the w. S. c. S.,
the Sunday School, prayer and
worship services and sacrificed
freely to support every worthy
interest of Christ's Kingdom.
During her last illness she fire.
quently spoke of her faith in her
Lord, and of her desire to go and
be at rest in the Fathers House.
She is survived by two daugh-
ters-MrS. c. E. (Wilm0 Bargdill,

tory because his cause was Just;
because he was threatened with
political destruction for no other
crime than that he dared to up
hold that part of the constitution
that guaranteed civil rights for
Negroes.
The press of the country for
the most part was against him;
the commentators Of radio fame
were against him; the polls
were against him; the might OF
the financial OverlOrds of the
nation were against him. The
people were for him, and he
won one Of the most signal NOR

Since the pollsterS and press

one, and that is, in the world and
in this country there is a growing
conviction that right is the only
might; hence a return to civic and
social righteousness is the only
hope of saving this world from
destruction.
All over this country, south
as well as north, there is a
growing conviction that holding
the Negro down is a too costly
undertaking.
The utter failure OF the Dixie
crat movement is proof positive
that the erStwhile solid south
solid against the Negro-is under
going a tremendous change. When
the state rights" appeal failed to
stampede the south into the folds
of Dixiecracy, we have what is in
all probability the beginning Of
the end of political Negro batting.
The south is fast finding other
ways to prove its greatness than
by trying to defeat Negroes in
their lawful aspirations to full
Pledged citizenship.
When Georgia fails to follow
Thurmond, something must be
terribly wrong with Thurmond in
his attempts to put over his state
rights program which is no more
than a keep the Negro down
movement. Hail Harry Truman,
President of the United States
and fearless champion of civil
rights for Negroes also. The NOR
