0 BOXED PINES PLAYING OUT Users of Naval Stores Must Look For , Other Sources REFORESTATION REMEDY Much Land in Horry County Suitable Only For Growing Youner Pine Trees V w ? The wearing1 out of the turpentine forests in this section of the country has been coming- on gradually until now it is plainly seen that before long the supply will be cut off to :>uch nn extent that those who use naval stores will have to look to some other source for the materials they have found so useful and ready in the past. One plan for taking care of the exhaustion of the turpentine producing trees is to re-forest the country with long leaf pine, using lands that are unfit for anything much else except for the growing of grass or timber. This plan would succeed provided enough interest could be awakened in the project. "Conway, S. C. Large tracts of land in this county can never he used for the raising of rrops on account of the great cost of drainage. Such Lands are nearly all clear of the long leaf pine that produces turpentine in marketable quantities. There is some short leaf pine on some of these tracts, but the short leaf pine is a very small producer of turpentine, and as we understand it the little turpentine that does come from the short leaf pine is not so valuable .as a producer of spirits and resin. The matter has been called to the attention of The Horry Herald by Mr. F. L. Dusenbury, "vice-president of the Jennings Naval Stores Company, of New Orleans, La., where Mr. Dusenbury has been engaged in the nfivnl Ktnr#?s hiisinp?s fnr n nimiW nf years and has made a large success. He writes The Herald under date of November 1st: . "Mr. H. H. Woodward, "Conway, S. C. "Dear Sir: "I hand you herewith a clipping taken from The Times-Picayune of October 25th.* This in line with what I had previously written you. Of course it must he taken with a "grain of salt" as the United States . Forestry experts are spreading a propaganda all over the South with a view of getting Congress to appropriate money for the furtherance of the reforestation plan. "I hope, therefore, that you will be able to stir up something in Horry County and other sections of South Carolina, so that ultimately wc can expect* a new growth of long leaf pine to replace the God-given supply that we have so ruthlessly destroyed in the past forty years. "My recollection of Horry County is that a large part of the area only fits the growing of long leaf nine and is not fit for the cultivation of the general crops, and I think any area not suitable for growing r*rops should be set out in long leaf pine trees. "I hope you will be able to start something, ,and if I can he of any assistance to you from the western end of the territory, you can command me. "Yours truly, "November 1st, 1922." "F. L. DUSENBURY, Vice-Pre*. "New Orleans, La., "November 1st, 1922." The article inclosed in the letter contains interesting reading for business men and land owners of this county, and this article follows in fu\\: "unless experiments are starced at once to discover how soon and what system of tapping- is best for second growth pine the turpentine industry and gum naval stores supplies will be so curtailed in ten years that both the local and export markets will have to seek some other source of supply, is the prophecy made by Carlisle P. Winslow, chief of the forest products Laboratory maintained by the Department of Agriculture at the University of Wisconsin. " 'The present supply of virgin timber for turpentining will be exhausted in less than ten years,' said Mr. Winslow last night. 'Estimates show that in that time the gum naval store supplies produced in the Southern belt will he so reduced that the export markets as well as the 1< cjal will have to seek other sources of supply unless experiments are started to discover how soon and how long the second growth pine now coming up can be tapped.' "Mr. Winslow pointed out that if haphazard methods of tapping trees are tried, it is strongly probable the second growth trees will be so damaged that they will be killed, leaving only the extraction and distillation process for stum page to produce turpentine and the gum naval stores. He also said that the $40,000,000 in Twxval stores produced in the Southern belt is from 75 to K0 per cent of tho- world supply at present. He made plain that his statements are based on estimates arrived at from exhaustive research work made by the forestry division. "Mr. Winslow visited New Orleans yesterday with Dr. L. F. Hawley, from the Wisconsin experimental station. They are seeking to interest the turpentine interests in starting this research into the turpentining of the second growth trees so that by the time the virgin timber is exhausted the naval stores situation can be met without destructive losses both in finances and timber production." * Tell it to the Horry Herald. FIRE DESTROYS FINE DWELLING The burning of the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Burroughs last Tuesday, just before twelve o'clock, caused excitement in the business section when the fire alarm was rung and the department responded as quickly as possible. The residence was the building formerly occupied by the late Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Burroughs, lately purchased by Mr| D. M. Burroughs; and at the time of the fire was in process of remodeling. The work on the building was begun several months ago. Workmen were engaged on the building at the time of the fire, but up to the time of this writing no satisfactory explanation of the cause of the conflagration has been made. It is generally reported that workmen were usinqf a blow torch in some part of the building to take off old paint; that from the torch, which either exploded, or was left carlessly, the blaze started. By the time the members of the fire department got there the structure was falling in. Efforts to save the building were useless. It soon burned down to the ground and nothing remained of the big dwelling except the smoking embers. The changes on the old building were quite extensive. It was considered a large contract, and was taken by the firm of Haynesworth & Lawton, ,of Florence, S. C., the same concern that had the contract for the building of the Myrtle Beach Yacht Club at Myrtle Be.ich last spring. The same firm is erecting the new school building. o CIRCLE MEETING The Belle Bennett Circle of the Missionary Society of the Conway Methodist Church met with Mrs. C. R. Scarborough Monday, the 6th of November, at 4 o'clock. The meeting, which was conducted by the leader, Mrs. Parker, opened with the song "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," followed by a prayer by Mrs. Parker. Then the song "Come Holy Ghost in Love," and a Scripture reading by Mrs. Gasque. Mrs. Wachtman read a splendid paper on "Friendship." After the roll call it was found that six new members had been added to the roll. During a general discussion of the oyster supper wl\ich we will have Tuesday, November 14th, from 4:00 to 9:00 P.

Last Monday was salesday. Many sales were made and there was a 2rowd in attendance. yhff bqbyr herald, < CROWD ATTENDS COURT SALES There was a crowd of people in Conway last Monday to attend the sale of many tracts of land advertised to sell under orders of the court and a number of tracts under orders from the Court of Bankruptcy. Some of the sales were made by the Cork of the Court, while others nv.ide by the Sheriff of the County, while still others were made by C. R. Scarborough for D. M. Todd in one case and Francis G. Holliday in another case. Th#? lnnds HiH nnt. hrinc nripfw tbsit lands had brought in the past when sold at the block here in Conway. A comparison of the prices below given will show this. The J. M. DeLettre farm went to the Bank of Little River for $2,500. The bank held a second mortgage against this property and bought the land in as a matter of self protection. Six tracts of lend were advertised to sell in the case of the Burroughs & Collins Company vs. Mrs. Ellen Nixon Nye, five of the tracts brought enough to pay the mortgage debt of the sixth tract, which was not sold. The five tracts were sold as follows: Tract No. 1 of two and one-third acres in Little River village was purchased by Dr. Stone for $220.00; tract No. 2 of three and three-fourths at the same place for $250.00; tract No. 3 of twenty-five acres was purchased by Cordie Page, attorney, for $70.00, as also tracts No. 4 and 5. Tract No. 4 of 118 acres, known as Futch place bringing $1,500.00 and tract No. 5 of 35 acres on Haning's Bay bringing $150.00. The Nellie C. Medlin land in Simpson Creek Township, consisting of two tracts aggregating 225 acres, was purchased by Burroughs & Collins Company for $500.00. A tract of 15 acres in the case of Lewis vs Tyler was purchased by J. L. Lewis for $200.00. W. E. Heniford purchased the tract known as the H. G. Fowler land for $1,500.00. The bidding was spirited on a tract of land in Gallivants Ferry known as the K. M. Floyd estate land, consisting of a tract of upland with no acreage given, and a tract of swamp land of 85 acres, more or less. It was 1 .1 .1 J _j. 1 1 A ?

Sixty acres in Simpson Creek Township brought the sum of $200.00 and was taken in by E. S. C. Baker, attorney. A tract of 37 % acres of land on the south side- of Spring Swamp in Dog Bluff Township was sold to D. G. Spivev, of Conway, for the sum of $2,000.00. Several small parcels of )and belonging to the bankrupt estate of D. M. Todd was sold for rather small amounts, most of it being bid in by Hovt McMillan, Esq., as attorney. Two tracts of land belonging to the bankrupt estate of Francis G. Holliday was sold by C. R. Scarborough, Trustee. One tract consisting of 800 acres, more or less, in Gunners Island was purchased by H. H. Woodward for $1,105.00. The other tr-act brought a camparatively low amount. o NEXT YEAR'S IRISH POTATO CROP Clemson College, Oct.? Next year's Irish potato crop is going to depend in large {measure on the seed used. There are all kinds on the market,?good, bad, and indifferent; and the grower who takes what the market happens to offer him has no complaint if he gets poor stuff. It is true, of course, that in the past this was about the best he could do. Now, however, we can get seed potatoes under !a brand thai means excellence. The progressive seed Dotato trrowers of NViH-.li are growing their crops under the I inspection of expert, disinterested I inspectors. Potatoes that pass certain rigid requirements as to truenes to type and freedom from disease are given a certificate and are known as "certified" potatoes. Potatoes sold under this brand show a uniform excellence not approached by the ordinary marketrun stock. Therefore farmers should inform theirdealers early that they will require "certified" seed potatoes next season, suggests Dr. C. tA. Ludwig, Associate Plant Pathologist. No dealer can justly claim that he does not know where to get them because the Botany Division and all the county agents are prepared at any time to give this information to any one in the state. o The Near East Relief exhibited at the State Fair, articles hand made and embroidered by orphan girls of Armenia.

Tilly Swamp Baptist Church on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the 17th, 18th and 19th of November, 1922. I am enclosing you herewith a blank form for your assocational letter this year. Please see to it that all of the information called for in the letter is fully entered both in the orignial and in the duplicate. Since this is the only way we have of getting our statistics, it is therefore, very important that all church letters be fully and correctly filled out. "Please have your churches send j large contribution for minute money) this time. It will be necessary for! the churches to send in more minute j money than they have been sending heretofore, for it costs more to have the minutes printed now than it formerly cost. We are behind on last year's minutes probably $75.00 or $K0.00 yet, and we should make our minute contributions large enough this year to take care of this deficit and also pay for this year's printing.

Thousands of checks have been ei mailed to officials of the Association ai throughout the South Carolina belt bi and will be distributed upon presentation of narticination receints bv r?< ? t - ( v r members at the markets where they tfr were issued. uj Oliver J. Sands, Executive Mana- di trer, James H. Craig, Treasurer of pj the Association and other directors tl aud officials will address the growers at mass meetings on November 13th C( and 14th at Mullins, Kingstree, Flor- p] ence, Dillon and several points ty throughout the South Carolina belt. 0j The opening of the Association's dark warehouses this week at Lynchburg, Farmville, Bedford, Appomattox, Arrington, Phoenix, Dillwyn, Cumberland, Amelia, Columbia, Ashland, Mi!ford, Richmond, Petersburg, Blackstone, Drakes Branch and Brookneal marked the successful operation of the Association In handling P tobacco of all types grown in the P Carolinas and Virginia. * The announcement of its directors that the Tobacco Growers Co-opera- P tive Association will go the limit in protecting its contract by bringing legal action against contract breakers has been followed by 63 suits against alleged ofTenders in North Carolina alone. These suits involve close to $50,000.00 in liquidation dam- ~ ages and attorneys' fees and are scheduled for late November. More than a thousand Virginia ^ members of the Association welcomed Oliver J. Sands, Executive Manager of the Association at enthusiastic mass meetings in Danville and Chatham last Saturday. Mr. Sands told (j of the good averages for which association tobacco has sold throughout sj the old belt from Aberdeen to Alta p Vista and said, "We have not yet found any merchant, banker, business e] man or farmer, who would hesitate to say frankly that if it had not been n for the Association the present prices h _ -i ? u |miu on me warenouse iioorH g would not be in existence today. It is conceded by all tobacco men that the present crop of tobacco will yield in the Old Belt around 250,000 pounds net, whereas the Last year's crop of tobacco, which was considered a a short crop ran around 175,000 pounds fj and averaged $21.00. Therefore, we b think we have been of great service to the tobacco growers in the thioe states and will by a conservative es- ii timate put $10,000,000.00 more money in this section than there would have ~ been had the Association not been in ?. existence.
