THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C. Green Light for Private Forestry Shortage of Forestry Products Is Serious Recent actions by congress great- V encourage timberland owners,' foresters 'and the lumbermen who long have been supporting a nation al program ot private forestry, W. DuB. Brooklings of the Chamber of Commere of the United States points out. Private forestry means the grow ing of trees as a commercial enter prise, rather than landscaping or the planting of ornamental trees. The liazards of the business, such as Ires, insects, tree diseases and the many years before trees mature, are so obvious that there are some ■who say that the government ought to own the forests. As an alternative to outright government ownership, they advocate complete federal con trol of forest practices covering growing and cutting on all privately owned timberlands. Either of these alternatives would he a serious matter for the cause of private enterprise. It would take an enormous area out of the free, com petitive field. The forest areas of the United States actually exceed the tilled farm lands. In number of employees and investments, forest product enterprises rank fifth among American industries. By the recent passage of a meas- ■re authorizing greatly increased funds for fire prevention, congress has gone a long way toward remov ing what is recognized as the great est deterrent to the progress of pri vate forestry—fire. A basic principle of this new fire protection legislation is equal con tributions by the federal government an the one hand and by the states C td private owners on the other. The te Senator McNary of Oregon was instrumental in enactment of a law based on that principle 20 years •go, but there were inadequate funds to make it effective. It is to be re gretted that the senator did not live to see the passage of his recent bill tor greatly increased funds. Farmers will need more than six billion board feet of lumber in 1944, hot they’ll have to take action them- adves if the critical overall lumber and pulpwood shortage is to be met. War Food Administrator Marvin Jtones has announced that if produc- laon and distribution of farm crops are to supply essential needs this gear, American farmers will be called upon for two lines of proce dure: First, increasing lumber pro duction from farm woodlands during toe winter, and second, providing labor for forest industries during toe slack winter season on farms. Substitute Provided For Steamed Bonemeal Because of the shortage of bone- taeal as a source of phosphorus in poultry rations, tests conducted at toe Texas agricultural experiment station are of particular interest to poultry raisers. The non-variable portion of each ration was made up of the usual proportions. Each ration contained •n /estimated 18 per cent protein, and a calcium-phosphorus ratio of 1.6:1. The results show clearly that the •verage gains and feed required to produce a unit of gain were almost alike in each of the paired lots. By comparison of the gains, feed efficiency and mortality, it is indi cated that the use of twice the amount of defluorinated superphos phate actually needed to furnish an optimum of phosphorus in the ra tion will produce no ill effect and will not hinder feed utilization. It was concluded, that in broiler ration steamed bonemeal can be satisfactorily replaced by defluori- hated superphosphate of the quality used in this trial. The presence or lack of an animal protein did not influence the comparative efficiency of the steamed bonemeal and the defluorinated superphosphate. Tomato Harvest With the tomato harvest already wider wa? in some states, growers wifi do well to follow picking and packing practices that reduce skin breaks and resulting decay in toma toes, says the War Food administra tion. These practices include pick ing tomatoes when they are “mature-green,” avoiding harvest ing during wet weather, if possible, and using crates with the smooth aide of the slats on the inside. Im mature tomatoes have been found more susceptible to skin breaks than toose picked “mature-green.” More Cotton Used TELEFACT COTTON TEXTILE INDUSTRY IN TWO WARS SANDIES N PIACI ^ COTTON CONSUMPTION U.MIJOOO 1943 Jams to Help Save on Butter Next Winter Berries for jams and jellies need picking over to remove the too-soft or wormy ones from the good. Use colander and large pans to make an easy job of this preliminary step. Next winter when butter and other fats are scarce, you’ll thank your self for putting up a generous supply of jams, jellies, butters and mar malades to help spread bread and rolls. Fruits and ber ries are plentiful now and good spreads can be made, without using the one cup of sugar for one cup of fruit, in case your canning sugar is at a premium. In fact, in many cases you’ll find that three-fourths of a cup of sugar to one cup of fruit will work perfect ly well. To assure success in making jams and jellies, watch cooking time carefully. In most cases, the juice from the fruit or berry is extracted slowly, but when juice and sugar are combined, cook quickly to finish so that none of the bright color of the fruit is sacrificed. When the fruit or berry is low In natural pectin, use a commercial form and follow directions fer sugar and juice. Ripe Sour Cherry Jelly.

Try a sprinkle of paprika over the top, and serve with crispy, broiled bacon. Eggs are still plentiful and are a treat when served curried with a rice or noodle ring. Green peas or beans with baby onions are a good accompaniment. Salads are refreshing as lunch eon or supper main dishes.

If there is not enough sugar to fill all your canning and jelly-making needs, then the best way of assuring yourself of jelly, is to put up the juice and make it up into jelly when you do have the sugar. Follow directions for preparing fruit or berry juice as in jelly making recipes. Do not add fruit or simmer unless recipe directs it. Aft er juice has been extracted, place in jelly bag and squeeze out the juice. Fill canning jars to shoulder and seal according to manufacturers’ di rections. Place jars into a boiling water bath (180 degrees) with wa ter reaching an inch or two above the jars. Keep water at simmering temperature and process pints of juice 20 minutes, quarts 30 minutes. Remove jars and finish sealing, if necessary. Cool as rapidly as pos sible but avoid a draft. To Make the Jelly. When you desire to make the jelly, use your favorite recipe or those with tire commercial pectins. These jellies have the same texture as those made from fresh products.

Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for July 23 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council ot Religious Education; used by permission. WOMAN’S PART IN NATIONAL \ LIFE LESSON TEXT—Judges 4:1-#. 13-M. GOLDEN TEXT—Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such time as this?—Esther 4:14. Women of our day have unprece dented liberty of action and almost limitless opportunity to show their ability to - meet responsbility and to accomplish great things. They are measuring up to that opportunity both in the armed services and in the multitude of tasks they are creditably carrying on in civilian life. To those who seem surprised at their response to the nation’s need, the church could well testify that women have always served well in those things which count most for God and country. I. A Woman Can Rule (w. 1-9). God has established an order in the world which places woman where she best fits—in the home. There, under the guidance and with the help of her husband, she exerts her most powerful influence in the rearings of children. That is her normal, most effective and most blessed position. But all too often conditions In the world are not normal, and woman, like man, is thrown out of the cus tomary orbit of existence. Deborah faced such a day. Israel had sinned and been given over to the chas tising hand of the Canaanite. Then God heard their repentant cry and was ready to send a deliverer—as He did in the case of each of the judges. Apparently no man waa ready to take np the responsi bility, or willing to thus serve God, and so He called Deborah. She sat under her palm tree and Israel came to her for judgment. She typifies many women who have been the leaders of their people, and her story has been an inspiration to women in the church. May many more be encouraged to take up the weighty problems of moral and social righteousness, which the men of our nation (and others) do not seem to care or dare to attack! II. A Woman Can Lead (w. 6-9). Barak was a man of ability. Deborah gave him full credit for his capable service (5:1, 12), but evidently he lacked that initiatve which would send him into conflict with his people’s enemies. Without Deborah he would not go (v. 8), under her leadership he was willing and courageous. It is easy to ridicule Barak, and no doubt he deserves some measure of censure, but let us not be too severe on him. When the records are all in, it will be known that many of the feats of courage, the high and noble decisions, the vic tories in the fields of science and culture, and particularly those things that have been accomplished in turd through the church, were the result of the leadership of some woman. Many are the distinguished na tional and spiritual leaders whe have said that all they were and had accomplished they owed to their mothers. Others speak with high ap preciation of a noble and inspiring wife. Think also of the many social and religious causes which have beer largely carried on by determined and sacrificial women. Yes, a wom an can lead, and often she must lead out to get the men to follow. Not all the pursuits of life are lived out in peace or in preparation for war. The time comes when battle must be joined, and then we see that III. A Woman Can Fight (vv. IS IS). True it is that it was Barak wh* led his army, but he went out at the word of Deborah. Hers was the re sponsibility for strategy, for the de termining of that important D-day when the blow must be struck. The courage of women in the battles for country makes an inspir ing story. Not the least of that cour age has been shown by those who have quietly stood “by the stuff’ at home, who have bravely parted with their cherished loved ones who have borne the dark hours ol loneliness, uncertainty and often oi heart-piercing sorrow. They shal not be without their reward (see I Sam. 30:24). This is the place to say a furthei word of appreciation of the womer of the church who have fought sue! a valiant fight against liquor, social degradation, vice, evil politics, etc “Hats off to them!” May they be encouraged to go on. Then too, one ought to say a wore of sad and earnest admonition tc those countless women who have used their great freedom in our daj as a license to live wicked and un godly lives. They do not have the courage to stand against the loose moral standards, the common ac ceptance of intoxicants, the immod est apparel of the day. Christian women have the goldet opportunity of setting a fine patten of useful living now. Let them make the most of it, for the glory of Go# TO MIKE Due to an unusually large demand am current war conditions, slightly more time is required in filling orders tor a few of the most popular pattern numbers.

Railroads Forced to Turn Down Over-Sized Freight Twice in recent years the rail roads have been unable to accept pieces of freight for transportation because of their large size. In one case, a giant oil tank had to be towed from Hoboken up the Hud son and through the New York stat» barge canal and the Great Lakes to Chicago. In the other case, the large pipes for Boulder dam, owing to their 30-foot diameter, had to be fabri cated at the site in a plant erected for the purpose. I In 1808 two Frenchmen decided to fight a duel in the air. Each ascended in a balloon, and at a convenient height the fight be gan, each man taking pot shots at his opponent’s balloon with a musket. The shooting was wild, but at last one man succeeded in scoring a direct hit. The gas leaked out through the puncture find his oppo nent fell several hundred feet to his death. The victor’s balloon landed some miles away and out stepped the first air ace.
