Wood Burners. m By m. W. GRABBER *:• -J. (Kttommom •v. Jfart* Carolina Statt Calhga.x ;. . , : v "Indications point to high*!/ Ml prices for the winter of 1941-42 and farmers should prepare now for extensive (ueiwood cuttings this winter. Even if labor is available to mine sufficient quantities of coal for domestic purpose, it is questionable whether transportation facilities will be available. This situation is bound to create a greater demand for wood as fuel. The expanded fueiwood market should enable many farmers to dispose of low-grade hardwood trees not suited for lumber or other commercial purposes. The earlier the start is made in cutting, the more nearly the wood will be seasoned when the demand becomes active. Despite the advantages of increased demand for wood there should be offered a bote of warning. The slogan should be "Don't Strip the Land." A good cutting plan would be: Cut the poorer species, such as scarlet oak, blackjack oak, sourwood, black gum, hornbeam, etc. Cut crippled, crowded, or diseased trees of any species. Make use of tree tops left from recent sawmill operations. It is a good idea not to cut more than one-fourth of the total volume of timber in any one area of average hardwood stands. This will give a, profitable harvest, and at the same time maintain an adequate stand of growing stock. It can be safely predicted that numerous farm fend urban residents will install automatic wood-burning stoves or heaters this fall. One city in the South installed 3,000 woodburning stoves for heating residence^ stores and other buildings i n o n e y e a r ? " -- .. . Hides and Skins Become Valuable Farm Product Hides and skins are among the higResl price^ePpouna rSw materials that agriculture produces. The tanner often pays as much or more per pound for the best flayed and cured hides and skins of cattle and calves than the butcher pays for the dressed carcasses of these animals. Yet, because they are byproducts of another industry and frequently are marketed by undiscriminating methods, hides and skins are all too often treated with but little regard for what should be done to realize their maximum value. It is generally considered that for cattle an average of about 7 per cent of the live weight and about 11 per cent of the value of the live animal is in the hide In the case of calves, the skin may equal as much as 20 per cent of the value on the hoof. The importance of hides and skins is shown by the fact that about 125,000,000 are tanned an nually, worth around $200,000,000. The leather produced has a normal factory valuation of around $450,000,000. It is converted into shoes, belting, harness, and other goods for which consumers spend yearly close to $2,000,000,000. Domestic production is about 40,000;000 hides and skins annu ally, worth well over $100,000,000 It is necessary to draw upon foreign countries for the balance.

Red spider attacks hundreds different plants grown both in the greenhouse and in the field. The new insecticide which has proven so effective in controlling the pest is a synthetic resin, phthalic. glyceryl alkyd resin. Drs. P. A. Ark and C. M. Tompkins of the plant pathology division discovered its remarkable efficiency or control of red spiders. A 2 per cent solution of the re3in in water applied to plants heavily infested with red spider was found to kill adults and also eggs within five days. Many of the insecticides used for control, of red spider have proved ineffective. - To purchase Defense Bonds and Stamps, go to f; nearest post office, bank, or savings and loan asso^ .eiation; or write to the Treasurer of the United t. ^States, Washington, D C.

When to Bale v The best time for baling hay out of the mow is Just when it is "coming out of the sweat," tkst is, approximately a month after being made from the field. At such a time, properly cured hay is "soft" and has clinging leaves. To save the leaves and to avoid bales with "stemmy" surfaces, it is advantageous to bale any kind of stored hay 'on' damp days. For successful field baling, hay must be drier than for the mow. SI 'ft J* OH, HELEN, VOUVE 00N6 OVER. YOUR, 3EOROOMJ HOW CHgERFUL/ -a" ' V.' w t 7 m' Jr.i i we mao6 THREE tge of Daetanr The U.
