M Meares, Horry oouuty, has resulted lu 560 acres of young timber which Mr. Mearos now considers a valuable crop along with his cotton and tobacco, reports <M. 11. llruner, extension foreater. "Seeing so much timber slaughtered without any thought of the future promptuj^?r. Meares to start doing something about his farm timber", frxplalns Mr. IJruner, "aud through his appreciation foij all natural resources connected with his farm plus good timber management practices he has today an excellent stand of young timber that is reaching a valuable cutting slxe." Practices by which 'Mr. Meares is successfully managing his farm woodlands Include: Absolute protection from fire. Through cautioning his 12 ten&uts continuously agalust fire Mr. Meares has had no wood fires from this source In the past five years. He also maintains 20 miles of fire lines on his farm. Thinning for firewood and tobacco wood and hardwoods, pine trees of poor form, and dead or diseased trees. Cutting tobacco wood alone is quite an item since the Meares' farm uses around 175 cords of gum wood each year for this purpose. Trees are marked before hand and actual work of thinnlug is done with tenant labor in December and January under Mr. Mearos' personal snperrvision. Selective cutting to supply farm lumber needs. More growing space for the bettqj4 trees of commercial value ifi. crqhted ..by. cutting mature trees of pocft quality. Drglhifip swamplands to permit pine stands to seed In where otherwise this would not have been possible. Pruning side limbs from young pine trees. Using teuanp labor In winter for this work, Mr, \MeareB makes possible production of .khot-free lumber of greater value.

ADVENTURERS' CLUB HEADLINES FROM THE LIVES OF PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELFI "The Color of Death" Hello everybody: You know, If Death can be said to have a color, most people would say that coljr was black. Maybe a few of us would pick red as the most appropriate hue for some of the more violent forms of the thing. Bui to Elizabeth Murphy of Queens, N. Y., the color associated with death and danger?and adventure?is khaki. And khaki it will always remain to Elizabeth. There's a doggone good reason behind Elizabeth's way of thinking, and that reason goes back to the days when she was a girl in Ireland, living with her mother and dad. Back to July fl, 1921, when, if you'll remember, the Black and Ton revolution was going on in the Emerald Isle I Maybe you'll remember, too, that that was a pretty tough revolution. The Irish fought a guerrilla warfare, and the English sent some pretty tough customers over to keep order. All through that mix-up, Elizabeth's family ran a pub, or bar, in the little town of Dingle, County Kerry, end on that fateful July day two "Tana," as the British troopers were called, walked in and called for drinks. "Tans" Start Drinking in Murphy Barroom. "We lived In the rooms upstairs over the bar," says Elisabeth, "and each member of the family, from mother and father on down, did his or her bit behind the bar. On this particular day mother and I were on duty, mother behind the bar and I on the outside hsndlng trays of drinks around. The 'Tans' sat down and drank steadily, and after several 'small paddles' one ef them began to get obstreperous and nasty, and poor mother tried to quiet him down by being extra nice to him." But mother didn't have much success with the fellow. She had barely started talking to him when he began to get abusive, and then threatening. And mother thought it would be best to change the subject. The "He grabbed me with his right hand and kept choking and choking." surly fellow was wearing a pair of brand new khaki pants and in order to get his mind on something beside threats and violence she said, "You've got on a fine new pair of pants. That material would make a lovely skirt." The fellow turned suddenly to Elizabeth. "Would you like a skirt made cut cf this stuff 7" he demanded. And without thinking, Elizabeth said, "No, I wouldn't dare for it." And the next minute she knew she had said the wrong thing! v? "At the time I said it," she says, "I had no Idea of easting any aspersion on the king's khaki, hot this bravo bneko flew Into A rage. 'So you don't like the color, eh?' ha ahouted. 'Well, ru make yon like it!' And the next thing Elisabeth knew, he had her by the throat! Crazed Soldier Terrorizes Daughter of Inn Keeper. "He grabbed me with hia right hand," she says, "and he kept choking and choking, and at the same time' shouting over and over a^ain, 'Do you like it??Do you like it?' without even giving me a chance to answer. It would have done him no good if he had, for by that time my Irish temper was up and I'd prefer to choke rather than make a sign that I had given in to him." < -* ? ? .. v ^ But all of a sudden Elizabeth heard something that cooled off that temper of hers. A revolver shot! At the same moment, the second "Tan" leaped up from the table where he had been sitting quietly all the time, caught hold of his partner and made him let go of Elizabeth's throat. And then Elizabeth saw the revolver. It was in the hand of her attacker. While he had choked her with his right h&nd he had fired that shot with his left. He had missed. The bullet had flattened against the hinge of the door. But now Elizabeth knew she was dealing with a man in a mood to commit gctual murder?and she was scared to death. The second 'Tan" was remonstrating with the flrst. rfWouId you shoot the girl?" he was saying. The first "Tan" roared, "Yes, I'll shoot her. I don't care who she is!" Another argument was starting, and Elizabeth, thoroughly frightened by this time, tried to smooth it over. "It's all right," she said. "He wasn't aiming at me." And again the wrong thing had been aaid. For the surly "Tan" whirled on her suddenly, whipped up his revolver again and cried, "You think so? Well, this time I won't miss!" Then the battle started in earnest. The second "Tan" grabbed his arm and tried to wrest the gun from him, and at the same time ha KhoniMi EH,.wh "And bey," cays Elisabeth, "2 did ran." Elizabeth Escapes Clutches of Tormentor. She dashed out of the bar and into the house next door. The neighbors there had heard the shot and wanted to know whet was the matter. Elizabeth didn't even stop to explain. She dashed through that house to the back door and out into the yard. - And the neighbors, knowing what sort of thing can happen in a country that is fighting a revolution, ran along behind her. Tfcere were three of them in that neighbor family. Elizabeth climbed the fence into the next yard, and they followed. That next yard led to e carpenter's workshop, and the carpenter, and hia workmen, when they saw four people dash through his place without even e word of explanation, decided they'd better run, too. Out in the street more people joined in the panic. "There was quite a little bunch of us, all on the run together," says. Elisabeth, "by the time things quieted down and somebody shouted to us that the 'Tans' had left the locality and wo would have no more to fear from them." Elizabeth says that now she looks back on it, she can see a certain amount-of humor in the situation of half a town running because one drunken Tan' had fired a revolver, but doggone if she could see it then. "I have always believed," she says, "that I owe my life to that 'Tan' who interfered with the other one. And wouldn't it have been awful to have died all because of a pair of khaki pants?"
