Area Forester

An educational program in
sound forestry practices is being
promoted in Holmes county
through the organization Of
Forest Guardian Clubs in the
schools under the direction Of the
urea forester. The purposes of
of the clubs are to develop wider
knowledge of the conservation of
forest resources; to appreciate
the value of trees and how they
serve mankind; to aid in the pro-
lection of trees; to aid in prevent
ing forest fires and to encourage
planting of trees on school groun-
ds. school forest. and around
homes.
Five Forest Guardian Clubs
have already been organized in
the seven white schools in Holmes
and one is to be organized dur
ing the second semester of the
session at Pickens. Guardian
Clubs already organized include
Lexington, Tchula, West, Cox
burg, and Goodman. During the
next two weeks clubs will be or
ganized in the negro schools at
Mileston and Mt. Olive.

several years without loss.
Poisoning nearly doubled the
gross income from the 1850 Mis-
sissippi cotton crop, accounting for
an added 100000 or more
which farmers would not have re-
ceived without poisoning, accord
ing to a survey of Agricultural
Extension Service county agents
throughout the state.
One to two bale per acre yields
were made by several farmers In
nearly every cotton producing
county, despite the heaviest boil
weevil infestation on record and
with most unfavorable weather
conditions. Rainfall for the first
nine months of 1850 was the heav-
lest since 1912.
Poison blanketed 85 per cent of
the states cotton acreage this
year, compared to about SO per
cent for any previous year.
Survey totals showed that
104, 440 farmers poisoned l,732,7OO
acres, using sc, $4,000 pounds of
dust and $4,000 gallons of con-
centrate for sprays.
Average yield of line per acre
is estimated at 315 pounds this
year, only Is pounds below the
$50 pound average for the years
1899 through 1913.
Poisoning on definite schedule
proved to be more important
than the kind of poison a farmer
used, so long as he used one of
the recommended poisons, stated
entomologists L. c. Murphree of
the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice and DR.. Clay Lyle of the Ex-
pertinent Station.
OF 300 farms surveyed in one
county, farmers who did not pois-
on at all made from so to 200
pounds of seed cotton per acre.
Others who poisoned three of four
times, but did not follow a sched-
ule, had >one-fourth to one-third
bale per acre.
Farmers in the same county who
followed a definite schedule and
poisoned seven or eight times, or
as often as needed, produced one
to two bales per acre. Similar re-
ports have been received from
other counties.
Spreading information to all
farmers about cotton poisoning
was aided in the various counties

essmen, farm leaders, agricultural
agencies and others.

Buy Christmas Seals
Cotton Formers Are
Advised To Buy
Boil WeeviI Poison

Many boil weevils are still liv-
ing in protected places after the
recent extremely cold weather,
farmers are advised to 60 ahead
and buy at least half the poison
materials needed for normal
year, according to entomologists
l.. c. Murphree of the Agricul-
tural Extension Service and DR..
Clay Lyle of the Experiment Sta
ton and State Plant Board.
To kill large percentage of the
boil weevils would take either
much colder weather or a much
longer period of low temperature,
the entomologists explained.
The recent cold probably killed
a number of boil weevils, but it
is impossible to tell how effective
this was because of the varying
conditions under which the Vice.

over winter under the bark of
trees, down to several inches I'M
der litter at edge of woods, in
grasses on ditch banks, in barns,
haystacks and other protected
places.
Less hardy insects such as screw
worms are generally killed by
cold, and further outbreaks of this
insect are not likely to occur this
winter.
Insecticides should be stocked
now to be on hand next spring,
the entomologists stated. It is
good insurance to buy half of the
recommended poison needed for
a normal year.

Area Ranger Reports
On AttoIo Progress

The Mississippi Forestry Com
mission has completed its second
successful year in Attala since the
county came under organized fire
protection, reports Robert w. Ad-
ans, area forest ranger.
Much has been accomplished
in forestry conservation during
this year." Ranger Adams reveals.
During the fiscal year, Attala
county fire crews checked 1872
smokes. OF this number, there
were 43l woods fires. Other
smokes we're controlled burnings.
Three per cent of Attala's timber
land was burned by the 43l fires,
Ranger Adams adds. He points out
that in counties which do not have
fire protection the acreage burned
is often SO per cent.
"Attala county has five of the
best trained and best equipped
fire fighting crews in the state"
the ranger says. But without the
splendid cooperation and assist
ance of land owners and the pub
lie in general, the acreage burned
could have been much greater"
Most farmers realize that with
proper management trees can be
made crop and a valuable source
of income in years when other
crops are short, the ranger con-
tinues. The first step in wood
land management is fire control
and it is hoped that with the ex-
perience and knowledge gained in
the past two years we will be
able to hold the acreage burned to
a much lower figure in the coming
fire season."

jectives of area rangers in their
respective counties, announce
ment has been made that more
emphasis and attention will be
given the program from the state
office. To this end E. B. Living
ston, Of the Information and Edu-
cation department of the service,
has been assigned the overall SUI
pervision of the program on a
statewide level.
Mr.. Livingston, working
through the district forester and
area rangers, also has overall di-
rection during this school year in
the planting and utilization of
school forests. It is the goal of
the Forest Service to have in op-
Grafton at least five such forests
in each county and they will be
used in connection with the teach
ing of the forestry textbook, as
laboratories to portray lessons in
fire prevention and control.

the clubs regularly and during
the session one of the fire fighting
crews in the county will visit each
club, displaying fire fighting
equipment and explaining to the
members how it can be used to
stop forest fires. School forests
are being established at Coxburg
and Goodman.
In some counties that have had
fire protection for a long time
there are school forests ten years
old. The students learn in their
experimental plots in these forests
just why thinning, fire protec-
ton, and other good forestry prac-
tees pay dividends. The students
in these schools have grown up
with forestry and they are now
helping to keep fires down to a
minimum in their counties and
have well developed forestry pro-
grams in their woodlots.
In some Of the older clubs, boys
organized volunteer fire crews and
were furnished with equipment
by the state. They have assisted
in fighting local fires and in this
way are learning first hand the
damage done to the woods by
fire. When these young men take
their place in the community you
can be sure fire will be kept down
to a minimum. The Forest Guar
dian Clubs in Holmes county hope
to establish the same good fores-
try practices and in doing so in
crease the wealth of our county.
The Mississippi Forest Service
has announced as one of its goals
during the l950-5l school year
the organization of 200 Forest
Guardian Clubs in the state. The
organization of these clubs will
be confined to public schools in
counties having 40 per cent or
more of their total land in timber
err and uncultivable acreage.
The organization of Forest
Guardian Clubs has for five years
been one of the main education

vice and last year 131 such clubs
were organized.

First
Whaling Results
Unsatisfactory

OSLO.-After IL days of the
Antarctic whaling season, the 10
Norwegian expeditions produced
1O1, 900 barrels of whale oil.
While this resur. Is about the
same as in the equivalent period
of last season, it is considered
rather disappointing in view of
the fact that this season more
whaleboats and better equipment
are being used. However, there is
still plenty of time for improve
ment before the season ends on
April 7.
Much of this seasons Norwe-
gian whale oil production has been
sold in advance, $4,000 tons to
Great Britain at Kr. 1000 per ton
(about 1924, and 10000 tons to
Western Germany, which is also
buying 1000 tons of processed
whale fat from Norway. The Nor
wegian Government is stipulating
that $4,000 tons of whale oil be
reserved for the Norwegian home
market at a price below the cur
rent market price. The total pro-
duction of whale oil by Norwe-
gian expeditions this season is ex-
pected to be at least 100000 tons.
Norwegian whale oil, this season
selling abroad at Kr. 1000 per ton,
was last year selling at Kr. 1000.
