The State Forest Service is now supplying the seedlings at cost for the property owners to plant in the state-wide movement for timber production. The small trees are six inches to three feet high and serve as windbreaks* on the farm and prevent erosion of abandoned farm lands as well as being prospective revenue bringers. According to H. Y. Forsythe, Dis trict Forester at Aiken, one of the principal reasons for the present low farm income of many farmers is the large number of practically idle acres, many of which have been stripped of their trees. These idle acres can be brought back and made to produce a profitable crop by planting trees. It is a small investment and the resulting plan tation will be a growing demonstra tion of land utilization. Trees available through the State Forest Service and raised in the Forest Tree Nursery at Camden are the longleaf, loblolly, slash, and shortleaf pines and can be obtained at $3.00 a thousand. “Forest Plant ing in South Carolina” is a leaflet distributed free of charge by the South Carolina State Forest Ser vice, answering * questions dealing with forest tree planting. Appli cations for this booklet and orders for seedlings may be made direct to District Forester H. Y. Forsythe, Aiken, S. C. 1XJ Wide Terrace Channel Will Save Many Breaks CLEMSON COLLEGE, Feb. 4.— “An often overlooked cause of many terrace breaks is the too nar row channel along the terrace in which the water is supposed to run,” says J. T. McAlister, exten sion agricultural engineer. “Often this channel is no wider than the width of an ordinary turning plow, and after one hard rain the chan nel will be filled with soil that has washed in it sufficient to stop all flow along the channel and thus cause a break in the terrace. “Of course most breaks in ter races occur in low places that have not been built up to sufficient height to check the water, but nar row channels also cause many breaks. Thus a large amount of labor is expended unnecessarily each year in repairing breaks and otherwise maintaining terraces on soils subject to erosion in South Carolina.” The terrace itself, Mr. McAlister advises, should be much wider than it is ordinarily built, since a wide bank of earth will not break as soon as a narrow one. Against a general idea that when wide ter races are built much land is lost from cultivation, Mr. McAlister holds that the opposite is true, for with wide terraces it is possible to cultivate the entire terrace in broadcast crops if too steep for row crops, and weeds and grass are thus eliminated from fields. Agricul tural Engineering Information Cir cular No. 4, which describes a method of plowing that results not only in a wide terrace but in a wide water channel that greatly minim izes the danger of breaking, will be sent by Mr. McAlister to those re questing it. Six hundred Negro teachers in nine counties have attended the two-day health education institutes which have been held by the South Carolina tuberculosis association on an average of two a month during the last spring, fall and winter school months. These institutes, approved by the state departments of health and education, have been conducted by the Association’s col ored field worker and the demon stration tuberculosis nurse, co-op erating with local health and edu cational leaders. The following counties have al ready received this service; Aiken Greenwood, McCormick, Marlboro, Newberry, Pickens, Saluda, Chester field and Beaufort. Counties scheduled to date for institutes in January and February are: York, Sumter, Kershaw and Hampton. The institutes emphasize two lines of study. One consists of lec tures and class discussions on methods of teaching health habits and of improving school sanitation. The other course offers demonstra tions in the inspection of pupils for ipinor physical defects that handicap them in their studies and that may lead to serious trouble- later. Parents, as well as teachers, are being reached through popular ev ening meetings at which talks art made and health films shown Thousands of interested persons have attended these open meetings Because of the very high death rate from tuberculosis among the Negroes, this work, financed by Christmas Seals, is rated as most important by the Tuberculosis As sociation as a means of building resistance through the training ot children in proper health habits and of teaching leaders in every community the necessity for early diagnosis and treatment of disease. X THINGS WORTH KNOWING Miss M. Katncr of Brooklyn, N. Y. writes: “Have used Kruschen for the past 4 months and have not on ly lost 35 pounds but feel so much better in every way. Even for peo ple who don’t care to reduce, Krus chen is wonderful to keep the sys tem healthy. I being a nurse should know for I’ve tried so many things but only Kruschen answered all purposes.” (May 12, 1932). TO lose fat SAFELY and HARM LESSLY, take a half teaspoonful of Kruschen in a glass of hot water in the morning before breakfast— don’t miss a morning—a bottle that lasts 4 weeks costs but a trifle—but don’t take chances—be sure it’s Kruschen—your health comes first —get it at any drugstore in Am- j erica. If not joyfully satisfekl af ,er the first bottle—money back. —Adv. y//r//A Lotus seeds believed to be more than 300 years old have sprouted when tested.
