C, Estimate* Furnished on All Clssoea of Work Floors Sanded on Request ________ Forest Fires In South Carolina The Stat* of South Carolina *nd the South at Iwvv needs productive foreala and raicge lands to riiaii/tain it* prosperity but it canrpzt hew them while woods burning continue#. Annual burnings in the south cover about 20 million acre# of forent* and cut*over land*. 01 about four-fifth* of the totai forest area burned in the United States. South Carolina is represented prominently in this los*. Thi? repre*enti> a total loss of many million* of dollars. The woods burner, like the boil weevil, malaria germ ami the cattle tick drag'1 flown business and undermines the general welfare of the state j and nation. Because of the woods i burner only a small percentage of I merchantable, second growth timber which could have replaced our old 1 virgin stand is now available on cuti over lands. Because of tVie woods burner land value# have been seriously lowered for blackened snags i and stump# have no appeal to the i purchaser. Industries and population j have moved '<ut and idle acres have : multiplied. Because of the W'/o<l# j bututr ev'eiy year millions of young forest M'C<!!ing.-v that would have ooni -muted a ii< autifu! forest .n the fut'JtV and a vaiu.ib.c asset t<? .and\ owner#, fiaw- been licked up by the ! flame#. South Carolina, unlike the western - tati"i when* -eriou.s fires are caused l-y .ightnir.g. ha# the pbwer to -tamp out .1- forest fires, for they are In the main man-caused and can be prevented by curbing the care less fire-user and dealing firmly with ma luiou- fire-setter#. Sound economic policy lemands that this power be exerted and that the brand of the woods-burner Ik- extinguished. The people of South Carolina cannot afford to let the woods burner continue to block our economic progress. Most "f the woods fires ;n th.s -tate and throughout the youth uie started by hunter?;- -mokers. -tock men and others upon lands w'nicn they do ret own. To the-s-e fires arc added tho-e fire- escaping from railroad locomotive*. logging operation-. | field clearing.- arid "warming fires". The belief therefore ha- grown up n -nrnc localities that wo. d- f.res a'e as inevitable a- the season.-. Thi*. howc.et'. is far front the trutf. lutndj owner- have In-cn made to fee; that | it is hopeless to try to keep fires i from their lands. They, therefore, i become in their he!pU*snness advo| cotes of -pring and fall burning. The i chief reason advanced in defense of thi< practice is that -pnr.g and fa'.i burning i- a means of defending thei property against fires set by others. Vet it often happens that these per;-f la?bin-lie- - make a bad -ituation wojg-e by |>errnitting their fires to -preari beyond their own hinds. (ifter *r mo- -ther reasons are advanced in supp<?rt ->f the practice of w <>d- burning. -'.) a- the desire ' > .mpr??ve the grazing for Cattle, or t > de.-troj cattle ticks an<: the boll weevil It ..- r.ot by f.re, h >wever.

To this ah'd Mr. Ber l> recommends: i "W-hen the potatoes are taken from storage house or bank, sort and throw out all diseased potatoes, using for seed only those that do not show rotten spots. Treat the selected seed in a bichloride of mercury solution or corrosive sublimate. The solution ts prepared by dissolving one ounce of the chemical to eight gn lions of water in a wooden barrel. After dipping the seed potatoes for H). minutes, spread them <MJt to ,dry and lied immediately. After each 10 bushels, up to 50, when a new spin tion is needed, add one-quarter oun e of the chemical and make up to the original volume of water. If bichloride of mercury cannot be purchased cheaply from local druggist.-. 1 it can be obtained from wholesale v houses and should be ordered several weeks before the bed is to be made. It is not necessary to wash the potatoes after they have been treated. "Bichloride of mercury is a deadl> poison if taken internally. "If corrosive sublimate cannot lx Used, the . potatoes may be immersed ; for five minutes in a solution of formaldehyde made by adding one pint of commercial formalin to 3u gallons of water. The formaldehyde | treatment is most likely to injure the potatoes; therefore, the bichio- , ride treatment is preferable. "After treating. the potatoes , should be bedded on well drained land that has never been planter! in sweet potatoes before, or at least for a number of years. The bed should have no contact with drainage water froin barnyards, sweet potato houses and sweet jx^tato banks. "Frames and tools that have been used for bedding sweet potatoes before should lx thoroughly cleaned j and disinfected with a formaldehyde solution." J W hen William F.
