TREES MAKE MONEY
FROM POOR LAND

Trees can make money on land
that wouldn't produce any other
"money crop"
H. D. Godfrey of the State ASC
Office is stressing the fact that
trees can make money on land
which now produces little or
nothing. Land that isn't good
enough to grow crops and will
not grow enough grass to deserve
the name of pasture, can grow
enough wood each year to bring
considerable income to the owner
of the land, according to Godfrey.
Godfrey cites the experience of
farmer who divided his 150-acre
undeveloped woodlot into five go
acre units. He harvests the wood
on one of these units each year
when there is little other work.
His pulpwood Trimmings from old
stands for the first five years on
each of the units have brought
him nearly $4,000. Each unit
looks like it will bring even more
at the end of the second five-year
term.
Not only will these woodlot
paintings pay in money, but they
help in the conservation of soil
and water. On steep or shallow
land, they will help slow down the
flow of water off the land aad
lead it into the ground, thus re-
ducing erosion. The water is avail
able for crop production or be-
comes a part of the underground
water supply that maintains the
flow of streams during dry
weather and furnishes water for
wells.
1t is because trees are such use
full crops in saving soil and water
that their planting and growth is
encouraged through the Agricul-
tural Conservation Program, God
frey points out. In North Carolina
assistance is available to farmers
to make tree paintings and to care
for such paintings after they are
made. Complete details about that
assistance can be obtained from
the County ASC Office.

You find that out the first time you
take the wheel of new Chevrolet.
Here, you discover, is a car that takes
the curves like its on rails, that steers
like it's reading your mind. 1t seems
simply to ignore bumps-and when you
stop suddenly. there's no excessive
lurching or diving. either. There has
never been such difference in low
priced cars as there IS today-or so
many good reasons why you should
drive new Chevrolet. Come in and
take the key.

DEATH TAKES 795
ON
IN NJ. G. IN 1854
Domestic Accidents Claim Two
Thirds As Many as Automobiles;
Rate Grows. Health Officer
Says

Raleigh. - North Cardinals
home and farm accident death toll
mounted to a new high of 1876
during the year 1854, it was re-
vealed by the Accident Prevention
Section of the North Carolina
State Board of Health this week.
According to official death
records on file with the state
health agency, all types of acct
dents cost the lives of 2,492 North
Carolinians in 1854 compared with
a total of 2,445 for 1853. In 1854
motor vehicle accident deaths
dropped from, 1,196 in 1853 to
1,143 while non-motor vehicle ac-
cidents rose from the 1853 total
Of 1,249 to a new high of 1,349.
DR.. Charles M. Cameron, Jr.,
Accident Epidemiologist with the
State Board of Health attributed
over one half of the total increase
in accident deaths to an increased
incidence of accidents occurring in
the home and on the farm.
Home and farm accidents took
739 lives in 1853 and in 1854 this
figure increased to 1885," DIR.
Cameron said. "Official records
show that one out of every three
accident deaths in North Carolina
last year took place in the home
OF on the FARM
He pointed out that accidents
are the leading cause of death for
persons under Is years of age in
North Carolina with home acct
dent deaths in pre-school age chill
dren causing more deaths than
the next five leading causes of
death, including motor vehicle ac-
cidents.
Accidents in the home are of
Importance to the aged in the
state also," the public health ply
stefan said. Zone out of every two
home accidents happens to per-
son over so years of age and with
the exception of heart and blood
vessel diseases and cancer, acct
dents are the major cause for
death and disability among the
senior citizens in our state"
State Board of Health estimates
show that in 1854 there were a
minimum of 1880 injuries in the
home which resulted in temporary
disability for at least "a hours, it
was pointed out by the safety Of
fetal. Of this number an esti-
mated $3.50 sustained some de-
gree of permanent disability, he
said.
"Home accidents are North
Cardinals 'unnoticed' accidents
which year after year take a
frightening toll of the states hui
man resources" DIR. Cameron
concluded. Statewide SAT e y
activities are excellent, but North
Cardinals communities must be-
gin vigorous activities to direct
public attention to the needless
deaths, disabilities, and economic
loss resulting from home and
farm mishaps."

Maryland 10 Approve
ater-SeWage Plans
For Hoffman City

Hoffman City, a controversial.
proposed $50 million housing
project in Brandywine, Md, ape
parently has cleared one govern
mental hurdle in the way Of It's
construction.
The Maryland State Board Of
Health, a spokesman said yester-
day, will approve the developers
plans for furnishing water and
sewage disposal to the projects
| 1000 homes.
Il Sewage To Be Treated.
Robert M. Brown, chief Of the
Bureau Of Environmental Hy.
giene Of the State Health Depart-
ment, said initial plans to empty
sewage into Piscataway Creek
have been strapped In favor Of
a system to empty treated sew
age into the Potomac River, He
called the latest plan adequate
from an engineering standpoint"
and said he expects the board
to approve it at its meeting JAM
uary Ia.
The project is being UNDER
taken by a Phoenix tAriz.) firm,
the F and 8 Construction Co.
According to Sam Hoffman,
president Of the firm the devel-
opment. when completed, viii in-
clude shopping cepters, churches,
schools and a lake. Buyers con-
tracts for the first 500 homes,
at a total price Of $9,950 each,
were signed in the first three
weeks Of December. after model
homes were opened.
The project will be located on
. 1,000-acre tract on Route 301
Just south Of the intersection OF
Route s and about IL miles from
the District Line.
Residents Of the nearby
lightly developed area have
criticized the firms plans as un-
sound and have complained OF
reports that raw sewage dumped
into Piscataway Creek or the
Potomac would create q nui-
sance.
Temporary Plan Rejected.
Mr.. Brown said his bureau had
turned down earlier plans for
temporary sewage disposal into
Birch Branch or Piscataway
Greek. A later application, he
said, proposes a sewer system
costing between 100000 and
$750,000 which will terminate
in treatment plant on the
Potomac at the mouth Of the
Piscataway.
He said the high cost would
result partly from the need for
q forced pumping system to carr
ry the sewage.
Mr.. Brown warned, however,
that the latest plan. while ade-
quate for the proposed 1000
home project, suffers from the
same defect as plans In many
