More Aid Promised In
Keeping Dickinson
Green

A bill to increase federal
grants from $4,000, 900 to $20,00O,-
Od0 for fire contEoi in private Tor
ests is before Congress. We hope
it passes, for the future Of Dick
enson County depends on cur
forests. We have not seen amy
figures, but we are sure that at
least tWo-thirds Of ,Jlr land is
uncleared.
Our timber resources have
been miSused because we didn't
know any better. We have young
growing trees LEFT. Il they cannot
benefit us mua2 in our time, we
can hequeath them as a trust
fund to the ne,.1 generation. We
have plenty of rainfall, but much
of it is drained away over our
eroded fields and broken wood
lands. Trees will hold the soil in
place and the fallen leaves will
provide a water bed. One of the
greatest needs of our community
is constant water supply. The
protection and growth of timber
will regulate the flow Of water
so as to provide a constant sup
ply.
Dickinson County could have a
future as a recreation area--for
our own use, anyway! Forests
will provide pleasant places for
weekend outings. They would
also give home to the wildl,re,
which we so recklessly destroyed
and are now trying to replace.
We could save and renew our
forests for the use of future gen
erations as annual crops. Yearly
harvests of timber would give a
small but regular income to many
people.
We are glad to see our con-
gresham, Tom Fugate, is support
ing the bill for more federal aid
for forest protection. We would
like to see a voluntary assoc1a-
ton dedicated to forest improve
ment and conservation and work
ing along the lines of our Wild
life clubs here in Dickinson Coun
ty.

own calves commonly bring
prices between 500 and $3.50.
The great mules have taken priz-
es regularly and have been pro-
nounced as good pair that could

Thus, this man, starting with
nothing, has bought a farm and
has built up land to a high state
of richness. While doing this, ne
has supported family of twelve
children.
This is not one of the stories
of great success and fortune
which abound in American his
tory. 1t is but the "short and SIM
pie annaP' of a small success
brought about by mans indus
try and know-how. Gilmer Elem
ing did not go to far away place
to find a fortune; he stayed at
home and tackled an average Job
in far better than an average
way. He has harmed none in his
work with Mother Nature. What
ever that saying is about the man
who can make two blades of grass
grow where only one grew be-
fore, it applies to him. How much
greater our country would be if
there were million Gilmers in
it!

STORY OF KILLING OF
MAYNARD LAMBERT TO
BE IN DETECTIVE MAGAZINE

The chances are that you may
soon read about the murder Of
of Maynard Lambert and the
detective work that solved the
crime in one of the many detec-
tive story magazines.
A free lancer from Richmond
was in the county last Friday,
taking pictures and getting de-
tails of the story. Some of the
county officers were photograph
ed, and a picture was made Of
the Lambert home at Nora,
where the murder occurred. The
visitor indicated his intention of
writing up the affair for a mag
azine.
1t will be recalled that Chester
Ball voluntarily gave himself
up and confessed to the killing
on the day after it happened. 1t
will also be recalled that Orbln,
Hardiway and Vernon Rose were
charged with the crime; that Yer
non Rose went on trial and was
acquitted, and that the charges
against Hardiway and Orben
were dropped. However, it is sup
posed that one may soon hear of
angles, new and wonderful, in
some pulp magazine

The Story Of A Good
Farmer
Farmer

The story of successful farm
er in Dickinson County is news,
even though it is but a tale of
hard work and patience. Perhaps
this story has been little noticed
because it has developed step by
step over a period of twenty-five
years. The successful farmer is
Gilmer Fleming, and his farm
is just over the hill from Clint
wood.
Twenty-Five years ago Gill
mer Fleming bought two acres of
land on Baker Ridge. 1t might
have been just "stay place" for
any man whose only capital was
a willing mind to work. But a
love of the land seems to run in
Fleming blood. Somehow, he saw
ed enough within a few years to
buy four and half acres of ad-
joining land. Then, in another
year or two, neighboring house
wife wanted a Majestic range in
the Fleming home; and Gilmer
wanted about two acres of his
neighbours land. And so a deal
was made. Time went on. Gilmer
farmed his few acres and worked
away. He was able to add a tract
Of twenty-five acres, and some
years later he bought nineteen
more. A year or so ago, Clinch-
field Corporation sold him anoth
er twenty-five acres.
Gilmer was thinking not only
of more land, but of better land.
Some of the acres that he bought
were covered with saw briars,
bull weeds and sassafras sprouts.
He knew that his land was short
on potash and knew that wood
ashes would add that element to
the soil. Year in and year out
he hauled ashes from the Ritter
mill at Fremont and spread them
over his land. Commercial ferti-
lizer and barnyard manure help
ed build up the soil. Gullies were
filled, and grasses were soWed to
check erosion. Glover and other
legumes left their richness.
Crops were rotated. Today, his
farm is one of the most produc-
tive in Dickinson County, and
would be counted as above aver
age fertility in many far better
farming sections.
Gilmer's main crops are hay,
tobacco and corn. He keeps
dozen purebred Hereford and
Durham cattle. The two prize
mules of the county supply pow
er for the farm. There are, of
course, the usual garden crops
and truck patches. Gilmer has
bought no pork since he started
housekeeping thirty-five years
ago, but he has sold much.
One would hardly think of hay
crops for Dickinson County. Yet
Gilmer's annual income from the
sale of hay is around $500. Al
falfa is his speciality, his alfalfa
plot being the oldest in the coun
ty. He does not sell all of his hay
either; the big Herefords and
Durhams eat deal of it.
This farmer has a tobacco al
lotment of more than an acre.
The annual yield of hurley is
5000 pounds or more. At present
prices, that isn't peanuts. Flem-
ing tends about three acres of
corn each year. His crop turns
out more than a hundred bushels
per acre. Practically all of this
is consumed on the farm.
Gilner will have only the best
OF livestock. His cattle would
grace any bluegrass field. He
avoids inbreeding and Is constant
~ selling and renewing his small
herd. Recently he bought $500

Pantos Leads Central
To Victory Over Bell;
Anacostia 1riumphs

Jimmy Pantos Of Central appears
to be good choice as the best all
around athlete in the high schools
this year. AS the Vikings T-for-
nation quarterback he led Central
footballers to the interhigh cham
pionship. and in basket ball he ap-
pears due for another starring
season. Central played its first
game yesterday, beating Bell Voca-
tional, $3.50, to help open the inter-
high league, and Pantos was the
individual star of an experienced
team that has a good chance Of
repeating last years march to the
title.
Anacostia also was winner in
yesterdays opener, topping Cham
berlain, GOAL. Both games were
afternoon tilts. played in the school
gyms OF the winning teams. About
400 spectators, mostly students,
were at each, and that kind Of at
tendance won't pay the bills.
Central's Pantos, with all his skill,
might not have the wide choice of
colleges usually offered to top
schoolboy athletes. He weighs only
148 pounds and doesn't touch
feet in height. College coaches as a
rule don't 60 after athletes unless
they have q mite more heft and
height.
With Central Coach Gabe Ferazzi
substituting freely after his Vikings
netted big early lead, Pantos
played not much more than half
the game yesterday. He was indi-
vidual high scorer with II points,
mostly on outside shots; set up most
| of Central's plays with his floor
work and, despite his lack of real
height, helped control the back
boards on rebounds. Bell was ahead
once at the start when Frank Spicer
netted the opening two-pointer, but
after that PantoS scored five straight
points and the Vikings ran up a
1872 lead before Bell again tailed
That is the way it went thereafter.
Chamberlain's Volts, who like Bell
were making their first start In
interhigh series competition in any
sport, gave Anacostia a little more
trouble. but the outcome never was
IN doubt. The Indians were in
front, 32-l7, at the half and Coach
Artle Boyd also was able to give his
second and third stringers a work.
out.
Joe Kolley of Chamberlain walked
away with individual scoring honors
with IA points, while Ronnie Ryan
led the Indians with 8. This game
was a bit on the rough side with
total OF 81 fouls being called. Cham
berlaln netted 81 free tosses and
Anacostia 20.
