MORE ATTENTION TO FARM WOODLAND 18 URGED Farm woodlands of South Carolina constitute probably the largest source >f raw materials for the wood using Industries of the state. Approximately one-half of the foroBt land of this ilate Is classed as woodland on farms. A recent detailed survey of our wood-using Industries indicates that tt the present rate of consumption diose industries can not hope for conlnued operation year after year with>ut a building up on the part of woodand owners a reserve upon which the ndustries may draw in obtaining a continuous supply of wood. This does not necessarily mean that voodland owners should build up a lmber reserve by stopping all cutting >perations for a period of years, which vouid most likely entail a greatly reluced income, but it does mean that i few simple measures should be oblorved in managing woodlands in orler to Insure a supply of raw materals. Such materials that could be larvested each year or period of 'ears. Briefly the main measures that iliould be observed in woodland manigement arc; Protection from fire, eforestation, or planting of idle or ;ut oyer areas that are not naturally estocking; proper cutting methods. We shall forego the first two measires, but not without first fully recoglizing the fact that fire protection and planting of idle areas are essential o the growing of successive crops of trees in the shortest length of time possible. Woodland owners of South Carolina for the most part are interested In growing trees for the earliest and greatest financial income possible. Yet most of the woodlands of this state contain many low quality trees that constantly interfere in the establishment or growth of more valuable, high quality trees. These more valuable trees if given a chance will grow into trees that may be sold at tho best prices in the form of saw logs, poles, piling, veneer stock and ties. In order to insure favorable conditions under which the better formed trees may grow the undesirable trees should be cut from the stand. The farm woodland should be culled, just as other farm crops, from time to time removing both the undesirable trees and those trees that should come out in a thinning where the stand has become too thick. The pulpwood market furnishes the best outlet for the Inferior or low quality trees. Pulpwood cuttings, therefore, should be made to utilize trees that are removed from the woodland for tho benefit of the remaining stand. Also to utilize material in tho tops of trees cut which cannot be sold as a more valuable product. Woodland owners are urged to use more care in cutting in their farm woodlands In order that they may preserve a steady source of raw materials for the market, as well as a continuous source of employment and income. The South Carolina State Commission of Forestry through its district forester at Camden, is available upon request free of charge to assist laudowners iu properly managing their farm woodlands. Well, He Had Nice, Long Rest Cheraw. March 12?A "walking tourist" on his way to Florida got ofT on a bad detour here a few days ago. Eli Driggers last Tuesday left the door of a warehouse near the highway about two miles from Cheraw unlocked for a short time. Four days later he was surprised to find a man there apparently asleep on some cotton seed. The stranger aroused himself and asked for some water and food. He explained he was on a trip from New Jersey south and that he entered the house to escape a rainstorm. He apparently fell asleep and later found be had been locked in. The unlucky traveler beat on the walls but no one heard him for the house is one hundred yards from%the road. He went on his way after receiving plenty of food and water, apparently none the worse for a fast worthy of the great Mahatma Gandhi. Echoes of The Storm (Uy The Hklppor) The Camdeu l>ry Cleaning -plant on liroari street and the Palmetto Cleanera on DeKalb atreet had to call on all their help to take care of several hundred men and women from out of the city who were caught In the rain ut the race track. The parking areaa In front of the cleaning establishments were Jammed with the cars of rain-soaked victims. Rooms in the two cleaning plants wore set aside for men and women, who huddled In them In a state of partial undress while cleaning crews worked feverishly to dry and press garments. Prom 3:30 in the afternoon until after 0 o'clock In the evening the Camden and Palmetto cleaning plants kept their entire staff of workers operating at top speed to care for the refugees from tne' race track downpour. All In all, It was a grand and glorious race day program in Camden despite the vicious attack of Old Man Jupiter Pluvlu8. Nationally famous sport writers of metropolitan dallies described it as the epic of the steeplechase season. Of course, it was an expensive outing for many thousands of people, particularly the ladles who had their spring outfits ruined by the soaking. Despito the weather handicap, one of the largest. If not the largest crowd In the history of the Carolina Cup classic, witnessed the 1939 run- 1 nlng of this great event. 1 It was the most dramatic present- ' atlon of steeplechase racing ever offered in America, according to veteran turf writers who were present. For an hour before this great race the air was resounding with the bellow of thunder while the deepening shadows of the approaching storm were split by vivid and brilliant flashes of lightning. As the cry of "They're off" sounded from thousands of throats, the first sheet of blinding rain raced over the field. Then the skies opened and backed by a high wind, the rain fell in torrents. Race-hungry spectators, to the skin the hist rusn of water, stood by rails and on cars peering through the murk of the torrent. Vivid flashes of lightning showed the horses as they raced over the three mile course. Twenty minutes later when the rain had almost ceased the next race was on. Men and women in soaked clothing, debutantes with their faces smeared with water soaked makeup, scurried back to their vantage points to witness the events. It was a typical horse race throng and there was 3pirit in evidence that even the weather man could uot daunt. The most remarkable feature of the afternoon was the fact that despite the heavy rain, the racing lanes of the Springdale course were in splendid shape. Which goes to show that Harry D. Kirkover knew what he was doing when he put drain tile under the turf of these lanes. Fellow named Gus Kamlner, of Columbia, tells the funniest story of cup day. Gus says he was drivinfe his new car near the track when he was kicked on the left arm by a passing horse. The car was hot touched. They ought to put that horse in a circus as a sharpshooter. Visiting newspaper writers, especially those from North Carolina and the northern communities of the PalI metto state declared it was raining so hard in their communities Saturday morning that thousands of people who planned on coming to Camden for the races, remained at home. Race officials believe the threat of rain here and the presence of storms north and east of Camden cut down the crowd by at least Ave thousand people. As it was, it was a fine turnout with the newspapers placing a minimum figure of 10,000 as the actual attendance. Cassatt Club Meets The Cassatt home demonstration club held their monthly meeting with Mrs. W. J. Parker on March 30. The meeting was called to order by Mrs. C. F. Yarborough, president. Devotional was by Mrs. Jake Watkins. The secretary called the roll with nineteen members present. The minutes of the previous meeting were read by the secretary and approved by the club. Mrs. H. C. Hall was elected delegate to the meeting to be hold in Camden April 19. There being no othor business to come before the i club the meeting was turned over to i Miss Fewell. 1 After receiving the report of the various chairmen on the year's work, she gave a very interesting talk on ' fixing up the farm home for better ! living. She also gave out bulletins on Modernizing Farmhouses and House tiold Insects. The hostess served delicious refreshments and after enjoying a social hour the meeting was adjourned to hold their April meeting with Mrs. Jake Watkins.?Contributed. _ ^ ^ ?
