This Fire Training School is an annual event on the Long Cane Ranger District and the second of these schools proved to be very instructive and interest ing to all the people who were gathered at Camp Bradley during Friday and Saturday of the past week. Approximately 200 people were in attendance. Frequent rains have done a great deal toward lessening the amount of work that we have been able to do during the past few days. All of us are wondering what the sun looks like and it goes without say ing that a few days of sunshine will do a lots toward putting every one in a good humor. Much progress has been made in completing the two-room dwelling on top of Parson’s Mountain, near Abbeville. This dwelling will be used by lookouts stationed at this point. Foreman Cantelou and Leader Bate Bussey have been busily oc cupied during the past few days in extracting seed from the pine cones which were gathered two months ago. These seed will be ship ped to the Tennessee Valley Au thority where they will be used to reforest the barren slopes em braced by the area on which T. V. A. is working. A new nursery is going to be started within two weeks, the Ranger announces. This nursery will produce approximately 500,00C trees during its first year. These trees will be planted on lands which have been purchased by the United States and placed under the care of the Forest Service.

C. Clemson, Jan. 2.—During the last six or eight months of 1936 the Extension Service of Clemson Col lege issued an unusually large number of new or revised publica tions on various phases of pro gressive farming. These were te meet the increasing demand frorm. farmers whose requests for new facts and better methods in farm ing have been greater than ever before, says A. B. Bryan, agricul tural editor, who sees growing ap preciation of the importance of science in agriculture. Demands have been especially strong, the editor states, for niioi mation on the economic pha ses of farming, on marketing of farm products, on purebred live stock. on truck growing, as well as on fertilizers and soil building. In this connection Mr. Bryaa. suggests that no better use can be made by farm folk of the long: winter evenings and the rainy day* of the next two months than the studying of new ideas and better methods of farming and home making as found in the publica tions of Clemson College and the United States Department of Ag riculture. The publications of the South Carolina Experiment Station, the agricultural research branch of Clemson College, give the public the results of studies, surveys, an& experiments conducted in behalf of the farmer and the general public. Those of the Extension Service car ry to the rural farm and home in. practical form the plain fact*, ideas, and methods found best by research and experience. Requests for publications or in formation made to the Publication* Department at Clemson College are given prompt and careful atten tion.
