workable-December and jan
uary.
In late November we should
finish the bulb planting-tulipS
and Dutch iris. The soil will be
cool enough by that time so
that there is very little likeli-
hood of top growth.
This planting schedule will
seem a bit strange to people
who have gardened in the
Middle West and North where
spring planting is the major
season. Washington is fortu-
nate in having such a long
season in which to do this jot
thoroughly and leisurely. We
should take full advantage OF
it so as to reduce the spring
work load to a minimum.

perennial plants while they will
have ample time in which to
become well established before
freezing weather. This not only
is the most economical time to
buy and plant them but we
gain a season for the plants to
become established and be
ready to put on a full scale
floral display.
And, let's not forget to SOW
seeds of the hardy ANIMALS
where they are to bloom.
Even though they are a pc
rennial, we, prefer to mention
the peonies separately. They
should be planted in September
when the dormant roots can be
safely handled without a ball OF
dirt. Set them out in Septem-
Der and remember that the buds
on the top of the crown should
not have more than two inches
of soil over them after settling
slightly less soil cover is bet
ter.
Some Bulbs in October
In October the bulb planting
season is in full sway, although
we might well postpone the
planting Of tulip and Dutch iris
until November since oftentime
if planted in October, they
make fall top growth which is
diSf1gured by winter weather
But the crocus, winter aconite
snowdrops, glory f-the-snow
lilies, Leucojunl, and q host OF
other early spring Towering
bulbs can go into the ground
as soon as it is ready.
If the hardy ANIMALS were
not planted earlier, they can
be sown in October. And. lets
set out the pansy plants as
early in the month as possible.
Those Dormant Plants
In November, as soon as the
shrubs are dormant, the plant
ing of roses, deciduous trees
and shrubs can start. There
are a few kinds that are best
planted in the spring-dog-
woods, magnoliaS, tulip poplars,
naples, etc. We should make
every effort to plant all of
those for which fall-planting
is recommended because in the
fall there is much more time
to do the job and we can do a
better job Of soil preparation.
The planting of these can con-
tinue as long as the soil is

PlNEY WOODS FARM
NEAR FAIRFIELD
n. E. Woodson Says He VIII
Plant Part Of Large Tract
Planted This Summer

Uncle Sam takes many acres out
of cultivation, but his people put
more back. This week heavy ma
chinery is in a 1,200-acre tract in
the Piney Woods section along the
Fairfield Rose Bay road, getting
land ready for big farming en-
terprise which the owners promise
to begin putting into cultivation
this week.
H. E. Woodson, real estate pro-
moter now living at Engelhard is
the head of this project, and says
lie is using $4,000 worth of heavy
machinery to do this job. Mr..
Woodson has been at Engelhard
for upwards of a year, looking into
tracts of land suitable for develop
ment.
There are still many thousands
of acres susceptible to farm use in
the phenomenally rich lands of
Hyde County. Near PIONEER new
farm development is underway, il
having been put into cultivation
within the past six years, and con-
tains thousands of acres, now
adapted to growing of livestock
as we'll as other crops.

the only real problem which faces
it.
1t is up to the people to jeal-
ously guard such assets. They must
help save it through precept and
example, and deed. They should be
as equally anxious to prosecute
those who carelessly OF malicious
ly set a forest fire, as they would
one who sought to destroy neigh
boris home. Without this public
awareness on the part of the peo-
pie of the value of so great nat
ural resource, investors may not
find encouragement to come here
to develop industry.
The West Virginia Company
came in hopes of developing some
thing that might be of profit. In
so doing it would be impossible
for the local economy not to be
greatly benefited. Many people
have enjoyed gainful jobs at horne;
local businessmen have felt the
value of the money spent. The
company paid $1,340,000 for this
property, bought 100000 more
land, and have spent $5O0,00O in
developing the land through the
building of canals, roads, and in
tree planting, with some $50O,0OO
more to be spent-all in Dare
County. Summing up, they have
put out around two million dollars,
all in Dare County and in Tyrrell
County have made a comparable
investment.
It is no less than a major dis
aster when an investment of ST.
900, 900 is reduced to only 1927 ,875
in taxable value in so short time.
What would it mean to the people
of Dare County to have some dis
aster sweep it's beaches and reduce
the property to less than an eighth
of its former value? 1t would be
disaster indeed, bankruptcy of the
worst sort.
Whatever the circumstances that
cause it, the result is the same
to the people. It always winds up
with the average man taking up
the load. Let us now give more
complete and serious thought to
problems of conservation and pro-
lection. Can we think of anything
that will pay bigger dividends? :

The Preceding Figures Published
Several weeks ago we published
figures furnished by the Tax SUI
pervisor's office which showed real
estate values would be jumped
from $15,O26,826 in 1857 to $780,
$4,000 or more than double. In
some areas no increases were
made, in others the valuation was
doubled, and in still others it had
been tripled, and in some cases
quadrupled, and worse.
These figures also indicated that
instead of $18,500,000, the valua-
tions turned in by the New Jersey
Appraisers hired to do the job at
a cost of $4,000 would run to
$38, 100000 or more.
At that time, the valuations in
Atlantic township alone had jump
ed from $6,1OO,OOO to $15,26O,000,
a gain on paper of $9,160,O0O, or
$50 per cent increase. This
weeks figures show the Commits
sioners have since brought down
the valuation of Atlantic Township
to $9,731, 2O2. In brief, they wiped
off over five and a half millions
in valuations in that township
alone, we'll over one third.
The earlier figures showed that
the jump in Mays Head township
from the 1857 valuations had been
from $5,277,249 to $15,112,560.
The new figures this week show
that the Commissioners have wiped
off $3,615,738, barely Is per cent.

they were due. There is no attempt
at equalization. It's been cut and
slash, cut and slash for the sake
of expediency, and to pacify
friends.

Board remain Disseminated against
as before.
There are some who estimate it
will cost another $4,000 to get

one attempts to estimate the dam
