Mr. Pew States Pulpwood Side (Continued from fi.st page) l?,?? , tiro time is devoted to see that all timber cut fur pulpwood la iu accord anoe with good forestry practice. Those for<?j?try practices, on which all Mr. Creed's cuttings arc hawed, arc strictly in adherence with State and Federal Forest Service regulations. v'Tho pulp wo<xl Industry's ablllt> to utilize the unused portions of a tree left by sawmill operations. has (ortalnly proved Its value In economics as well as practical forestry. The landowner, while realising a profit from (ho otherwise useless to|>e. Is also reducing fire and insect hazards erected by these tops. It might bo of Interest to know that during the month of August, 68.9 per cent of all acreage cut on for pulpwood by Creed's organization, was in the salvaging of tops belaid sawmill operations. "One of the cardinal rules In good forest practices is to cut low stumps, so little W(kx1 as possible he wasted. H. A. Smith, State FY>roster of South Carolina recently complimented the pulpwotxl operators as being one of the few forest Industries tlutt were observing this important phase of gixxl forestry. "Most of the pulpwood obtained in KotV*?w County Is from scrubby pines that could never produce good quality BHwmlll material. The pttlpwood organization la the only forestry industries that provides a revenue to the landowner for such poor quality timber. As In the utilization of tree tops again the pulpwood industry has created a market for useless or Inferior quality material.

I Advises Small Grains Winter Cover Crops Clemsou, Uix lb Small grains have various advantages hh winter cover crops, any a 11 A Woodlo. extension agmuomist. advising wider use of oats ami rye for soil protection and improvement. Briefly he nana* eight reasons for using these grain winter covers. Small mains arc fool-proof That Is | to say, a reasonably good growth can be obtained tmdor ordinary soli conditions whereas only meager growth of Austrian peti* or vetch Is possible unless the sell reaction and the plant nutrient supply are favorable nnd growing conditions likewise Ideal. Farmers con produce sufficient quantities of small grains for seed whereas the seed of Austrian pens or vetch must bo purchased and therefore involves additional expense. Small grains will produce a given amount of groon mat tor 10 days to two weeks earlier than would Aits'rlnn peas or vetch. This Is an Important factor In the planting of subset)nem cash crops. Austrian peas are subject to root knot and continual planting increases the nematode population, which Is exceedingly underslrable, while rye and oats aiv' highly resistant to mot and therefore decrease nematode Infestation of soils. The main dlsadvuntaiflfe of crimson clover is that a satisfactory growth usually cannot be obtained early enough In the spring to permit the planting of these crops which require a relatively long growing season, Bven though the green matter of small grains runs low in nitrogen, the great conserving power of the soil nitrates by the growing of rye or oate compensate** to a large extent for the additional nitrogen that Ik added by legumes. The organic matter of the soil can be increased greatly by the use of rye and oats, which are highly carbonaceous plants. The turning under of a heavy tonnage of legumes only increases the organic matter temporarily. - The growing of certain legumes also stimulates certain insect troubles. Yellow is the color of mourning in Ohlna, and for that reason no yellow automobiles are shipped there.
