of feed is small for the hammer
type mill. Then too, the hammer
mill has the decided advantage
in that no damage is done if the
feed to the mill is shut off. Most
burr mills are built in such a way
that the burrs are seriously dam
aged when the mill is kept run
ming with no grain passing
through. Few roller mills are now
in use.

THREE ACRE CORN SOIN i .o -
AGAIN THIS YEAR
Twenty-seven farmers and All
club bows connected in the three
acre corn contest last year and
some outstanding results were OBJ
tanned. These q growers produc-
cd 4769.6 bushels on 81 acres, an
average of 58.8 bushels per acre.
This is "a bushels higher than the
countv's average yield on approx
imately 1928 acres and Al bu-
shells higher than the State ave-
rage yield per acre. The highest
Weld. 987 bushels per acre, was
made by Jim Glasgow of the Pee
Dee community. Only one-tenth
of q bushel per acre behind was
Austin T"chson, All club boy
At G"oen Sea. With a late start
last wear VIC feel that lots of good
was done toward improving the
corn Yields in Horny County and
We plan 20 have the contest again
this year. If you would like to
enter the contest write us a card.
The only requirement is to have
three acres of corn in one patch.
FARMERS WEEK AGAIN
THIS YEAR
Dr.. R. F. Poole, President OF
Clemson, announced recently that
Farmers Week would be held at
Clemson the week of August %
to Is. A program full of a variety
of activities is being arranged.
Any farmer can spend a profit
able vacation at Clemson during
that week.
PROTECT MEAT FROM
INSECTS
If a mild winter or no winter
means more insects, then we may
expect boards of them this spring.
Meat is high in price and will
probably continue fairly high for
some months yet, and we should
arrange to do everything possible
to save the farm supply. 1t is a
good precaution to dip each piece
in boiling water and keep i'm
mersed for three minutes. The
meat is then laid out on clean
boards to dry, which does not
take long, as it is hot from the
boiling water.
AS soon as the pieces are dry,
they are wrapped in heavy wrap
ping paper or newspaper. Then
each piece is put into a bag that
will exclude insects. Closely WOW
en- cotton bags will do, or heavy
paper ham bags can generally be
bought at the grocery store. The
Big must be insect proof, but not
entirel yaic-tight. Meat has been
ruined by storing in the moisture
proof, several-ply fertilizer bags.

FARM
QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS

aQuestion: Is lime harmful to
potatoes? .
Answer: Agronomy specialists
at State College say that the pres
ence of lime in the soil favors
the disease organism which caus-
es potato scab. In general, the
heavier the lining, the more scab
will develop.

Inspect Safety Gates

A group of seven business men of

Paw Paw, w. Va, to inspect the auto
matte safety gates that have been

Tree Stock Surveys
Will Be Continued

Area foresters will continue a pro-
gram of tree stock surveys in state
forests this year, William A. Parr,
district forester, has announced.
The surveys, which were begun last
year, aid foresters to determine the
volume of different species and sizes
of trees, and are useful in preparing
a forest management plan.
A crew Of forest workers is now
continuing the survey in Swallow
Falls State forest, Parr said, adding
that four crews completed a survey
in about 1000 of the forests 1900
odd acres last summer.
The Swallow Falls survey should
be completed in the next two or three
months. Last summer a survey was
completed in about 1000 acres of Po-
tomac State forest which has total
area of about 10000 acres.
This year three three-man crews
will resume work in Potomac State
forest and three crews will begin a
survey in the $1,000 acres of Savage
River State forest.
Cutting on any area, Parr said,
will be determined by the value of the
area as watershed protection or as
recreational area. No cutting will
be allowed in rccreational areas and
cutting in watershed protection areas
will be lighter than in flatter areas.

Youth Tells Story
Of Efforts To
Save Carr Boys

John Helmick, Davis, w. Va, II,
who lived through five cold and
hungry days in Tucker county, yester-
day told all he could remember"
about vain attempts to save the lives
Of Eston and Robert Carr, who froze
to death. 81 wish l wouldn't have left
the two younger boys" he told
Sheriff d. E. erosion. Maybe they
would still be alive"
Il was too scared and wondered if
anybody would ever find us. told
the boys to stay where l left them
and | would go for help"
Hclmick told the sheriff of eating
snow to satisfy thirst, of tearing the
pockets out of his water soaked
clothes to build a fire, "but the
matches wouldn't light.
The little one, Robert, cried so
much "he couldn't keep up with Us"
Helmick related, $50 / had to carry
him a lot of the time. He said he was
hungry. We walked for miles and |
knew something was wrong, but |
never told the boys. They knew it
though" Helmick assured the sheriff,
Il could tell by the look in their
eyes
Helmick said one night he cut pine
tree branches and made beds for the
two boys. Then he put his jacket over
the smallest one to keep the snow off
of him.
Helmick told the sheriff that he
never got cold and his feet didn't
hurt. 81 could see my feet swelling
up and watched them break the
stitches in my shoes, but they didn't
hurt"
Helmick was seventeen yesterday
and physicians in the Elkins hospital
were preparing to amputate his feet
so they could save his life.
