Pine Trees Planted By
CCC Camp Paying Off
Holmes Farmers Find
1t Pays To PIont
Worn Out Lunds

During the period 1935-1940 the
'CCC camp located on the north
edge of Lexington planted sew
eral hundred thousand pine trees
on then worn out lands in the
county.
c. w. Comfort, with the U. S.
Forest service on flood control
work in Holmes county, has been
making study of these paintings
and finds that the loblolly pines
planted six feet apart twelve years
ago now average five inches in
diameter and thirty feet in
height and contain a volume of
about eighteen cords of wood per
acre.
Mr.. Comfort pointed out that as
pulpwood the pine trees on each
acre are worth about fifty four
dollars. Pine trees of this size
are ideal for treatment with pre-
sentative for use as fence posts
and have much higher value as
posts than as pulp wood.
Corroll Trims Acre
A. p. Carroll, local farmer and
conservationist, thinned an acre
of his planted pines and harvested
1900 fence posts leaving stand
of $40 trees having volume of
sixteen cords of wood. Mr.. Car
roll plans on thinning out his
woods at intervals of five years
until he has a stand of about 14O
trees to the acre which he will
leave to grow into high quality
saw logs.
Brunch Harvests Posts
r. M. Branch of Goodman had
eighty acres set in pine trees by
the CCC camp in 1886. Last year
Mr.. Branch thinned out 5000 pine
posts from these planted pines and
had them creosoted at nearby,
plant. Mr.. Branch was so pleas
ed with these posts and the looks
of his thinned woods that he har-
vested another 5000 posts this
year.
Other farmers planning on thin
ming their pines this fall are John
kimbrough of Lexington, c. L.
Downer of Acona, and J. E. CHS
holm of near Richland. Mr.. CHS
holm states that his pine thicket
makes an excellent outdoor barn
'or his sixty head of cattle in the
winter time.
c. w. Comfort and Frank Hag-
gerty, foresters working in Holm
IS county, are assisting these
farmers in marking and market
ng their trees.

averaged about 20 days per acct

Medical care costs, as reported,
averaged $43 per accident, and
about a fourth of such costs we're
covered by insurance.
Falls were reported as the leading
type of accident to farm people in
all regions. They accounted for a
fourth of all accidents. Accidents
involving machines and those in
volving animals were next, each &C
counting for about an eighth of all
accidents to farm people.
Fifty-four percent of the injuries
reported were sustained while the
victim was engaged in farm work.
Farm accidents reached a peak in
September, when both farm work
accidents and recreational accidents
were sharply up. Six percent of all

Among farm work accidents, the
accident rate for falls exceeded those

One of Every Six
Hurt in 1913
BY CATHERINE SEMI

Bureau of Agricultural Economies
During 1948, at least one resident
out of every six farms was the vic
tim of an accident involving one
day or more lost from regular activi-
ties, according to estimates of the
bureau of agricultural economics
based on three sample surveys. The
surveys also indicated that at least
$50, 200, 900 were spent last year for
medical, dental and hospital care
resulting from accidental injuries to
farm people.
This estimate does not include the
costs of accidents to people who
were killed or who suffered perma-
nent total disabilities, nor the value

Mounted on a truck and coupled to a pump,
it is irrigating 270 acres of sugar beets four
times each season on the ranch of Milon L.

This points up again that there's no limit to

Why? Because these engines have made Diesel

Army To Test Buzz Bombs In Alaska

WASHINGTON, .(P - The air force will begin Arctic tests of ra- dio-controlled bombs and Vi fly ing buzz bombs in Alaska next month.
 IL announced Friday that tests at Ladd Air base will involve use of the l2,000-pound "Tarzon;" the l,000-pound "Razon," and the American model of the buzz bomb used by the Germans against Lon don in World War II.
 The Tarzon" and the "Razon" are dropped from planes in the conventional manner and are classed as free falling. How ever, through radio devices oper- ating the fins their fall can be af- fected and the bomb steered tow ard target.
 The buzz bomb is powered, has rudimentary wings and can be launched from ground installa- tionS, or from a plane, and flys to its target.

Army Does Not Plan To Close Port Of Seattle

WASHINGTON, (P)-The army department has no present plans to close the army port of embar- kation at Seattle, two Northwest Pacific Congressmen said Friday night.
 Acting secretary Gordon Gray told Senator Magnuson and Rep. Mitchell, Washington Democrats, they said, that he knew of no inn mediate plans for closing the port, as has been rumored in the Pacif- ic Northwest.
 He said that before any action to close a Pacific port of embarka- ton is taken he will notify the CongreSSmen and let them present data showing the importance of the Seattle port to the great circle route to the Orient and to Alaska.
 Mitchell told a reporter he and Magnuson wished to point out the smaller cost of operating through Seattle.
 Mitchell said Gray told them he army always is making cost surveys and he could not predict what the future will hold for Pa cific ports or whether appropria- tions may some day force the army to close one of them.
