Brush Burners Urged To Use Care Farmers coring land for new ground, or otherwise b&ruing brush in connectlou with spring planting, were urged to use extreme care to prevent forest fires, Joseph C. Kircher, Keg-1 lonal Forester of the U. 8. Forest Service appealed to land owners to cooperate with State and' Federal Protection Agencies In reducing (he Tiumber of forest fires resulting from carelessness. According to-J^oreet Service off 1-1 clals a large number of destructive' forest fires have already occurred this spring as a result of careless brush burning. In addition to destroying timber, farm homes and equipment, the siqoke from these fires have slewed aviation and hrtillory training programs. Valuable hours of manpower have been lost in controlling fires, where fire crews "were drawn from military camps unci war ind ustries. Ah a result AT the seriousness of this situation F. H. I. Agents and military authorities are Investigating a number of these fires, and federal charges will be instigated under the] sabotage act. Officials pointed outj that the destruction of war vital tim-i her or endangering of military estab-| Bailments will bo classed as sabotage where the fire results from either carelessness or malicious Intent. A reasonable amount of care will eliminate these fires, Kircher emphasized. Brush should be burned only on windless days?stacks of brush should j be kept small. Before burning a fire line should be plowed or raked around the area burned,' plenty of help with tools to control any spot fires should be available. Last, but not least, the ashes should be kept wet down to, prevent sparks from blowing the ashes after the workers leave the field. Pearl Millet, Sudan j Resistant To Insects i Clemson, March.?On farms where the chinch bug is a consistent pest of pearl millet and sudan grass, substitution in whole or In part of annual lespedeza, sericea, or kudzu, may be, tho answer to the summer annual, grazing problem, says W. C. Netles, Clemson extension entomologist. It should be emphasized that J Throughout most of South Carolina. j pearl millet and sudan grass have! definitely not been damaged by chinch bugs, and the concensus of opinion is j that more summer grazing may bo | obtained from these plants than from any other. Definite information on how to grow pearl millet or sudan grass successfully under chinch bug conditions is lacking, but these suggestions may prove helpful, Mr. Nettles thniks: 1. Do not plant pearl millet or sudan grass following small grain, especially wheat and barley. (Some farmers think that it might be safer to plant after a grazing crop of oats). 2. Do not plant.;>these crops adjacent to fields of small grain, especially wheat or barley. 3. Where necessary to plant them after small grains, turn the small grain completely and wait for onei month before seeding the millet or j sudan. I 4. An extended cloudy, rainy period, coupled with adequate fertlization on j good soil will result in success, even, with a heavy chinch bug population,! r, Crimson clover or vetch may be | used without fear of Increasing chinch bugs. The Bulgaran port of Varna was the most popular resort on the Black Sea before the war. State Theatre I ! Kershaw, S. C. I !
