The Sun Carnival queen and her

three captains to Georgetwn's two

anglers who operate in shoal water,
their new safti-grip propeller drive
in these models instantly releases
the propeller shaft when the pro-
pellor strikes a rock or dead head,
then grips it securely when the
object is past. There are no shear
pins to replace and the drive vir.

Tree And Timber Talk
by C. w. Comfort
u. S. Forest Service

You may have heard that mo
ney don't grow on trees"-don't
believe it; f~ast-growing young
pine trees are one of the best
paying investments a southern
landowner can have.
Wherever forest fires are con-
trolled, proof exists that money
grows on trees-not exactly like
Peter Rabbits money tree, but
IN a common sense practical way.
/ am thinking about a field on
A. P. Carfrclrs farm where the
CCC boys planted pine trees Is
years ago. These pines are too
crowded today. just like cotton
would be too crowded if it were
not chopped out. If these pines
were chopped out" to a proper
stand, Mr. Carroll could harvest
100 fence posts per acre for
treating with preservative. Pine
post stumpage is worth one and
one-half cents per post making
the Trimmings worth $3.50 per
acre. After the stand is thinned
there would be IA cords Of pulp
wood left for growing stock worth
S4s.0 90 per acre. After Is years the
timber is now worth $65.50 per
acre, that's five dollars an acre
every year since the trees we're
planted Is years ago. At that time
the land could probably have
been bought for that price.
There's another interesting
field of pines that we recently
marked for thinning on Mr.. j.
Z. Chisolm's farm. These pines
weren't planted, they just grew
up like Topsy, rs years ago. The
CCC boys were there too about
IL years ago, but instead of plant
ing trees, they thinned this stand
out. There's no record of what
they cut out but 1t appears that
they thinned about four cords to
the acre.
When we marked this stand for
thinning a few months ago, we
tailed each tree and marked,
and figured the volume of the
marked trees. The Trimmings from
this second cutting figured 600
fence posts and 10 cords of pulp
wood per acre. After thinning,
there were 260 trees left per acre.
The average tree left to grow
was eight inches in diameter. The
remaining trees will grow fast.
They are expected to grow three
inches in diameter in the next ten
years and have two log lengths
of merchantable height. A tree
that size should saw out So board
feet. If all 260 trees per acre live
for the next 10 years there will be
1850 board feet per acre, or al
most enough to build two five
room houses.
That's how money grows on
trees!

lace, a large estate built by the
originator of the patent medi-
cine known as Tiger Balm
This medicine is guaranteed to
cure anything from snake-bite to
Z hang over and its virtues are
told on bin boards everywhere
just like Cokes in the United
States. And everybody uses it.
One of the features of the fan
taStie Tiger Balm palace is its for
NAL gardens which don't require
the services of a gardener be-
cause the foliage is made of wood
and tin. The whole thing is quite
realistic although giving the APP
pearance OF a paper mache world.
Idols representing the many pa
gan Gods of Malaga and the Asia
tic world dot the landscape and
lend an eerie atmosphere to the
whole picture.
The fabulously wealthy owner
of this unusual layout has another
such palace in Hong Kong where
he is currently living.
One of the bright boys in a
Malayan company got the idea
of capitalizing on the popularity
of Tiger Balm by naming one of
its drinks Tiger Beer" 1t was
first called Tiger Cub" and as
the drink increased in alcoholic
content it was changed to just
plain Tiger" Most of the people
here drink beer and take il warm,
just like in England. 1t comes in
quart bottles and every village
store handles it.
Maybe this accounts for the
strange noises heard at night as
the natives go down the darkened
streets beating two sticks together
in a monotonous chant to "chase
the evil spirits away"

Soil Conservation

When established on adapted
soils and properly managed, les
pedeza sericea will furnish a lot
Of good grazing and hay. 1t will
grow on a wide variety of soils
but should not be planted on the
poorly drained or the so-called
hardpan soils. While sericea re-
spends to applications of phos-
phate, it also has the ability to
grow on severely eroded soils.
AS a deeprooted perennial, Sc
ricea differs from the annual les
pedezas in habits Of growth. Dur
ing winter the old plants die
down and new growth comes
from the crown buds in early
Spring. After moving or grazing
new stems bud out from the base
of the stubs.
Sericea is noted for its soil
building qualities, will yield from
one to three tons OF hay per year,
diiA VIII iuAihiou SO0u Sfdk1flE
from March to October.
April is probably the best mon
tn for planting. Fertilizer should
be applied and the seedbed pre-
pared and settled either by rain
or cultipacker before planting
time. It. is best to roll the seed
in with a cultipacker or sow them
after narrowing the field
In cooperation with the Holmes
County Soil Conservation District,
so farmers in the Flood Control
area will plant Sericea this spring
Among these are r. G. Rhyme and
J. E. Taylor of Lexington. Mr.
Rhyme has a fertilized seeded
ready and viii plant soon. This
will be Mr.. Taylor's second year
to plant sericea- Last week Mr.
Taylor remarked that he was
thoroughly convinced of the i'm
portance of lespedeza sericea af-
ter having observed that of his
neishbor for several years.
