Camp Modoc News
Camp Modoc, Feb. 26.—The
7 , r A h cf ~obrv,ary has proven a
busy one for the fire fighters of
this camp as we have been experi
encing unusually dry v/eather with
the consequent abnormal number
of forest fires. During this period
we have been called upon to fight
and put out seven forest fires and
have been called to investigate
twenty-one others that turned out
to be false alarms. These fires
burned about 283 acres and caused
an expenditure of 228 man days,
also an additional 37 man days
were used in going to false alarms.
Every fire that burns makes the
United States and her citizens that
much poorer, so be careful with
your matches, cigarettes, and fires.
In spite of the large amount of
lire fighting, road construction has
moved along at a satisfactory rate.
Prescott Bridge over Dry Branch
has been completed, the topsoil
work on the Turkey Road will be
completed this week and the appli
cation of topsoil to Prescott Road
is to be started this week.
The planting of some 70,000 seed
lings as a reforestation project has
been completed. This project
covered approximately 60 acres
which was not considered suffi
ciently near enough to seed trees
to be reseeded thereby for some
time to come.
Plans are in full swing to land
scape the camp grounds, using
shrubbery and decorative trees
that are native to this part of the
country. The camp will not only
be thus beautified but will also
harmonize with the local forests.
During the week the camp was
■visited by Mr. Neill M. Coney
E.C.W. Inspector from the office of
the Director of Emergency Conser
vation Work.
We are glad to report that the
infected hand of Mr. Marion P.

full use of it.

due to the fact that if a worker

campaign, which is the first co
operative effort ever undertaken in
which all American manufactur
ers have taken part.
The campaign is timed at the
outset of the spring selling season
when both new and used cars
usually begin to move in greatest
volume, Mr. Macauley said. It is
aimed primarily at stimulating the
disposal of used car stocks now in
dealer hands. Once this is accom
plished, a substantial increase in
car manufacturing schedules and
employment of wage earners in the
automobile factories is anticipated.
To support the campaign, Mr.
Macauley announced, the manu
facturers will spend $1,250,000 in
newspaper, yradio and outdoor ad
vertising and in other promotional
channels. Two-thirds of the ad
vertising budget will be spent in
newspapers.
“The motor car industry,” said
Mr. Macauley in making the an
nouncement, “is generally cred t;d
with showing the way out of the
last depression.
“Today, the automebile manu
facturers, their suppliers, the na
tion’s 46,000 dealers and allied in
dustries are launching a cimiia
drive.”

is concerned, the most serious bar

that factories will be forced to con
tinue on part-time, and iduusand
of men in the motor car plant
and in allied industries .must re
main either out-of-work or on
part-time schedules.”
The primary purpose of the
campaign, he said, is to
make known to prospective
owners the remarkable used
car values which now are
being offered by automobile deal
ers in all parts of the United States.
“The present situation has re
sulted In the best used car values
in the country’s history. We are
confident that used car stocks will
be reduced sharply as soon as the
public becomes aware of the fact,”
he said.
During the last few years improve
ments have been made in motor
cars and this improved transporta
tion is available on easy terms to
those who take advantage of the
bargains to be offered during “Na
tional Used Car Exchange Week,”
Mr. Macauley stated.
Too many unsafe, wornout, un-
eLable cars, without modern safe-
Tcsts were made partly to get
scientific evidence relating to the
popular belief that such disturb
ances as thunder, the rumbling of
trains, dynamite explosions, and
earthquakes are likely to pre
vent eggs from hatching. Certain
eggs were roughly handled at vari
ous intervals throughout the incu
bation period. Still other eggs were
placed near blasting operations
which produced a shock so severe
as to break the shells of as many
as one-third of the eggs, and of
chose that escaped shell damage,
67 per cent hatched, compared with
an 83 per cent hatch for carefully
incubated eggs.

produced and disced into the soil
probably no additional nitrogen
would be needed. But if a rye
cover crop be produced, or no cover
crop at all. then additional nitro-
en should be given as needed. In
he past, bearing orchards with no

the average the equivalent of three
pounds per tree or 300 pounds per

For young or non-bearing or
chards the specialist says that the
spring applications should not be
broadcast but scattered near the

The amount of spring fertilizer for
