Counties In
Mitchell District
To Receive $1,000

Counties included in the Mt.
Mitchell District of the Pisgah Ma
tional Forest will receive more than
$1,000 as their share from the sales
of timber during the fiscal year
1913, according to information re-
Gently released by Carl G. Kruger,
Forest Supervisor.
That will be the pro-rated share
of a $6O,69737 check recently sent
to State Treasurer Branden Hodg-
es, according to word received from
Lyle Watts, Chief of the Forest Ser
vice. The amount represents rs per
cent of the receipts from National
Forests within the state and dis
tribution by counties is made on an
acreage basis.
On that basis, distribution of the
Mt. Mitchell District share by
counties will be approximately as
follows: McDowell-$4,023; Yam
cey-$2,104; and Mitchell-$1 ,004.
These totals represent considerable
increase over annual returns to
date and are due both to increased
volumes of production and an ad-
vance in timber prices.
Macon county leads other North
Carolina counties in the amount of
1948 returns with $500. Macon
is within the. Nantahala National
Forest. The leading county in the
Pisgah Forest is Pennsylvania which
will receive approximately $5,42O.
In addition to the above amounts
from the rs per cent fund which is
returned to the counties through
the State treasury, another 10 per
cent of forest receipts is returnable
through the Forest Service admin
istration for use in construction
and maintenance of roads and trails.
Thus Mcdowell, Yancey, and Nit
chell counties will benefit by an ad-
ditional $2,35O through use of these
funds.
Although timber demands are
slow at this season and prices are
rejecting these demands somewhat,
Ranger E. A. Heers has indicated
that current sales plans on his dis
trict promise little recession during
the coming year from this new re-
cord return.

Use OF Certified
Seed Recommends

Only by purchasing certified seed
can farmer make certain that he is
getting the best product available,
says DR.. R. F. Moore, director in
charge of the North Carolina Crop
Improvement Association at State
College,
DR.. Moore says seed are unique in
that breeding cannot be determined
from appearance alone. To deter
mine in advance the type of crop
which a particular lot Of seed can
produce, it is necessary to know
the history of the seed and the con-
dition under which they were grown.
In the production of hybrid corn,
the plant breeder probably will
know much about the performance
of the. proposed hybrid before it is
actually produced. After it is pro
duced, it is put through a series of
tests to determine how it's perform
ance compares with that of common
ly grown varieties or hybrids.
This type Of information, DR..
Moore points out, is accumulated,
summarized, and made available for
all growers who wish to take ad-
vantage of it. On open-formula hy-
brids, similar information is avail
able to reveal what the hybrid is,
what it will do, and what it will not
do
Farmers wishing to take advan-
tage of this type of protection, says
the Crop Improvement directors,
are urged to make use of certified
seed.

N. C.. Got 4th OF Milk
From Other States

Raleigh, March 11-North Caro-
lima imported nearly one-fourth of
its fluid milk supply from other stat
es last year.
C. W. Pegram, director of the
dairy division of the State Depart
ment of Agriculture said the milk
cost approximately s5,5O0,OOO.
A report issued by Pegram based
on information from creameries and
distributors under the milk audit law
showed that wholesale milk purchas-
es from other states totaled 75,799,-
ISL pounds in 194S or 14,918,500
pounds more than 1947 imports of
i63, ,SSO,651 pounds.
The percentage of out-of-state
purchases to the total fluid milk sup
ply was 25.5 per cent last year COM
pared with 22.8 per cent the year
before
Purchases of Grade A milk from
North Carolina producers also in
creased last year, the report showed,
while the quantity of ungraded or
manufactured" milk, used for con-
version into other dairy products de-
clined.
Pegram interpreted this as indi-
eating that more and more North
Carolina milk producers are "real-
izing the wisdom Of improving their
facilities so as to meet the States
standards for Grade A milk"

with a blackjack, accidently hit

Delegates Vote Today
On Church Merger
Nv the Assoeiofed Press

CLEVELAND, Feb. 5.-Delegates
to the general council of the Congre-
gational Christian Churches were to
vote today on a proposal of merger
with the Evangelical and Reformed
Church-and approval seemed as
sured.
Strong support for the merger
was evident during more than six
hours of debate yesterday.
An attempt by the anti-merger
faction to block the union on grounds
that the council was without author
itv to act was beaten by an over
whelming majority. Another pro-
posal seeking postponement OF vote
was supported by less than 100 OF
the 900 delegates.
The councils 900 voting delegates
and about 600 non-voting repre-
sentatives are almost in entirety the
same body which voted 1000 to IL
last Summer at Oberlin to proceed
with the merger, but to attempt to
increase from 65.5 to IS per cent the
number of churches agreeable. Since
then a 72.77 per cent favorable vote
has been obtained.
The councils Commission on In
terchurch Unity has recommended
that the vote now justif1es the
merger, and that the final steps to-
ward its consummation be taken. 1t
is on this recommendation that dele
gates cast their written ballots to-
day.
Before the two denominations,
with a combined membership OF
nearly 100000, can become the
United Church of Christ, the Evan
gelical and Reformed Church, which
had previously approved a Basis Of
Union must vote again. accepting in.
