O. Klns^, chairman of the- County AAA committee and head of the Kershaw County USDA War Board, declared this week. Mr, King has recelred an increasing amount of material design ed to oall attention to the rltal nature of forest products which go Into the manufacture of about 1,200 articles of equipment and supply for the armed froces. He pointed out that one arerage 14 inch pine tree would furnish enough nitrocellulose to make smokeless powder for 85 shells for a 105 milli meter cannon or 7,500 rounds of rifle ammunition. The same tree would prorlde enough pulp to make 118 weather-proof fibre containers for soldier’s K-ratlon. 850 corrugated bipod plasma containers, or 70 of the weather-proof containers used 6y the Red Cross to send packages to our prisoners in other countries. “Billkms of bmud feet of dumber,” he said, "are needed for war cos^ stmction. It takes abone a third of a million feet Just to build the ship yard scaffolding for one average-sited ship. Mosquito bdmbers are made of plywood and the same material goes into BT boats, and other Nary craft.” Mr. King voiced an appeal to the farmers of Kershaw County to make use of the after-harvest lull to produce sawlogs, puipwood and other forest products for war. He urged, however, that they contact a forester abofit prospective markets before cutting, and then to follow approved selective cutting practices in order that thelf woodlands might make the maximum contribution to the war' and yet be maintained in good growing conditions for future years. He called especial attention to the Timber Production War Project, re cently set up-d)y the U. 8. Forest Service at the request of the War Production Board with a view to in creasing forest products output. The TPWP program, he said, may be utilized by farm woodland owners to find suitable markets for their tim ber.

All forest fires hamper the war effort and reduce our income. It is there fore particularly important that fires resutttng from earelessnees he over come.” Recognition of this by merchants and business mra was brought out by the remark of one, who said, ”Unless we protect our forest from fire, a big source of our income will be lost” Others have pointed to the money that agement and the marketing of wood land products can also be obtained from the Extension Service and the 8.

Can Openers Still Have Plenty To Do Rationing has not emptied the shelves of Kershaw county residents of canned foods, it was revealed re cently, a total of 222,163 cans being u#ed monthly, according to A. H. Nugent, general sales manager of the American Can company.

Many foods strange to American palatee are being packed in caoa for shipment overseas. One of theao te “Tushonka” for Russian consumption; this product - boing highly seasoned pork packed in Hurd.
