Where you are not using a
good rotation, l would strong
ly urge you to use a highly re-
sistant variety against black
shank this year. There are
four varieties that are highly
resistant to black shank. They
are: McNair 20, NC 95,

Hicks. Varieties that are mod
erately resistant to black shank
are McNair IL, Coker 3l9, Nc
Nair 30, Reams 266, Speights

You may be able to get by
with moderately resistant var

Forest Fires

Twenty-Seven fires in Horny
County in November burned
1929 acres, averaging 14.2
acres per fire, the State For
estry Commission recently said,
Since July /, there have
been 73 fires in the county
They have burned a total of
1898 acres of woodlands. The
fresh in that period averaged
10.1 acres each.
Throughout South Carolina,
a rash of 392 forest fires burn
ed 2,781 acres of woodland in
South Carolina during Novem-
ber, according to State For
ester Charles H. Flory.
In the past five months, 1.136
wild fires have burned 1892
acres of South Carolina wood
land. This is 430 more fires
and 4,479 more acres burned
than during the same period
in 1862.
although we have had gen
eral rains recently, everyone
should continue 10 exercise en-
treme care with fire in any
form, because the most dan
gerous season for forest fires
in South Carolina is in the
winter and spring months"

recommendation to Tabor
City residents to use the first
class Sc Christmas stamp on
their Christmas cards. The
stamp portrays the National
Christmas Tree on the East
ern Ellipse" in the Nations
Capital. The stamp is avail
able at the local post office.
The SC rate permits for
warding or return of the letter
where necessary, allows It'd
use of handwitten message
on the card - adding a per-
Sonal touch = and also pro-
vides speedicr handling and
faster delivery, particularly
for cards going out-of-town.
"In recent years, people
have been buying better and
more expensive greeting cards
and it seems shame, when
only &C third class postage is
paid and the addresSee hi
moved that we normally can
not even forward the card.
1t is poor economy to try to
save a few pennies and lose
several dollars worth of cards
in the bargain.
Reports from the greeting
card industry indicate it is not
uncommon for an average
family to send more than 100
cards during the holiday sea-
son.
To avoid trouble and wait
ing in line, | suggest that two
full sheets of the Christmas
stamp - 100 to the sheet -
be picked up when at the
post office then there is no
last-minute panic about get
ting stamps to put on cards
to send to those who have
been overlooked or added to
the list.
Christmas stamps, of course,
are useable for postage at any
time.

Tobacco disease losses were
greater in 1868 and reduced
the value of the crop by an
estimated 4 per cent here in
Columbus County. Our losses
here in Columbus County were
greater to nematodes, black
shank and brown spot. The in
crease in loss to nematodes
was due primarily to weather
conditions, particularly last
spring when most farmers
treated their land. In a lot of
cases the soil was so dry that
the fumigant did not do a
good job before it got out of
the land.
The loss to black shank was
due primarily to three factors.
u Level of resistance. Most
growers were using moderate
ly resistant varieties instead of
highly resistant varieties to
black shank. y Rotation. Most
black shank damage occurred
on farms where tobacco was
planted in fields that followed
tobacco the previous year. Ro-
tatiOn is considered one of the
most important parts of a
black shank control program.

1t Is very important that you
water your Christmas tree. II
you don't, you may be sorry
A dry Christmas tree can burn
in just a few seconds and you
can quickly loose your home
and other precious possessions,
In a recent demonstration, il
took just 13 seconds for fire
to destroy a Balsom fir Christ
mas tree A dramatic illustra-
ton of the Importance of wat
ering the family Christmas
tree was made recently when
foresters used eight Christmas
trees in a demonstration. Some
were watered while others
were not watered. All eight
trees were stored for 10 days
under temperatures and other
conditions found in the aver
age home.
AT the end of the ten days,
the trees were taken out of
the average home conditions
and news paper placed be-
meath them. Then the paper
was set on fire. All of the dry
trees burst into flames almost
Immediately and those that re-
ceived no water were a COM
plete ball of flame in just l3
seconds. The other trees that
had absorbed water from con-
tainers at their bases during
the To-day period were slow
to ignite and showed little fire
damage to foliage.
While watering Christmas
tree won't make the tree fire
proof, it will lessen the chances
of fire. So, if you don't cut off
the butt end of your Christ
mas tree this year and don't
keep the tree watered while il
is in your house, you are real
ly taking a chance of losing
your home and possibly your
life. Water containers should
be checked often because some
trees will take up as much as
71a to 10 gallons of water in a
To-day period or about quart
a day. Why don't you help

81 S. G. Deaths
In November
I roffic Toll

Tentative figures reveal that
704 persons were killed in
South Carolina traffic acci-
dents through November 80.
Records now on file indicate
that 81 traffic fatalities occur
red during November, a de-
crease of five from the numb
er recorded during November
last year. Total traffic deaths
for 1886 are averaging ap-
proXimately Is above the
number for the corresponding
period of 1862, although the
traffic death rate (number of
deaths per 100 million miles
of traveD is running at about
the same level. The states
1868 death rate through Oc-
tober was 7.3 fatalities per 100
million miles.
Highway Department eSti-
mates show that the states
economic loss due to traffic
accidents this year has now
passed S35 million. AT the
same time last year the eco
nomic loss for the elapsed por-
ton of the year was estimated
at S33 million.
Highway Department officf-
ais have expressed the hope
that South Carolina will hold
its 1868 death toll below the
757 fatalities recorded last
year. The 1863 toll, however,
had already reached 728 on
December Is, and officials said
a marked improvement will
be necessary if the state is to
show a better record this year.
