Forest Fires Rage
In Two Carolinas
Charlotte, Nov. 7.?Forest fires
continued to rage in "scattered portions
of the Carolinas today, while
dwellers in the paths of the flames
prepared to fight for their homes.
From Kinston, in the Pocosin
country of North Carolina, came reports
of the worst blaze by which
that section has been visited since
forest fires became rampant several
weeks ago. Wardens, farmers and
volunteers rallied in an effort to
cheek it, with little effect. The fire,
starting"TrTLenoir, had fun over into
Jones county, and the woods were reported
dry as tinder.
In the mountains of McDowell,
hundreds of miles to the west, a blaze
25 miles in circumference was sweeping
all in its path, while camp tenders,
homesteaders and others prepared
backfires in an effort to save
, their buildings. The Duke Power
. Company was reported organizing an
army of fighters to protect its vast
i lands near Marion.

and Savannah, Ga., had been practically

and some outhouses burned by a fire
which swept 100 acres.
A grass and brush fire swept into
the' town of Burgaw, N. C., near Wilmington,
burned a lumber shed and
one dwelling, and set fire to others,
. threatening ihe whole community, before
it was controlled.
Pilots of the F.astern Air Transport
reported at Charleston virtually
all distance from Florence, S. C., to
Jacksonville, Fla., was n dense cloud
nf smoke. They said it is necessary
to fly very high to escape it.
Around St. George, S. C., fires
" which were checked by last week's
1 rain, again have broken out and
Ryrd village has been menaced. Res"
idetits of the community have put up
' >a >tiff fight to save their home".

Sumter Corn Contest
Boon To County
'
Sumter, Nov. 'J.-?Despite the driest
summer on record in Sumter county,
corn contestant* have inade u good
average yield of '62.17 bushels per
at're compared with an average of H7.4
bushels per acre in 1930, and 01.9
bushels per acre in 1929. The highest
yield this year is 9ET.12 bushels
per acre and the lowest.is 33.2 bushels
per acre, according to records in
the office of J. M. Kleayer, county
farm agent. Discussing the conditions
this year, Mr. Klcazer says that |
the Sumter contestants had the best
starl for record yields they have
ever had, and he feels confident that
ut least half of the 24 contest plots
would have made over 100 bushels
per acre with normal rainfall and he
adds:
"This dry year has taught us one
thing in particular about corn growing,
namely, that with proper preparation
and attention intensively
planted corn makes better than as
usually planted and handled even in
an exceedingly dry year. In fact, on
a number of farms this contest is
about all the farmers are making,
their regular crop being almost a
total failure."
A special feature of better corn
growing in Sumter county is found
| Ih the fact that this year 144 corn
I club members planted pure seed, furnished
by the Sumter Kiwanis qab.i
which took this means of promoting
better farming. Mr. Eleazer reports
that at the recent county Zftir roe
I Sumter Kiwanis Club held its regular
| meeting at the fair ground# and entertained
227 fourlil club boys with
i a barbecue dinner, which certainly
gave the clubsters and their hosts a
good time and established even closer
relations between them. \
