Then the wooden silk is sold to weavers who use it in- the manufacturing of vari ous forms of clothing, and in this way silk is manufactured from trees. In finding out the possibilities of cellulose, the chemists are opening up new demands for wood ard are in thiw way adding value to our forest. Cells of wood are made largely of starch. During the world war food n.aterials in Germany were very scarce and chemists made wood into food materials, but not to the extent to make it very profitable. As for for est fires and other injuries to trees, I some times wish that they could talk and walk and be able to go and give the land owners a sound thrash ing who will not try to keep out for est fire. A land owner would not think of setting fire to a field of cotton or just picking one or two locks out of every boll. Why should he think of setting fire to his forest when it does him more harm than it would to fire his field of cotton? The individual who can't see the beauty of hillsides and poor land crowing in trees ought not to be a farmer. it a man farms for nothing but to inake money he had better stop. If he is not going to protect his trees, his expenses will be so great wtien he has t' import forestry products with which to have them to export from bis own plantation, and could have if he had only .protected his trees in the Past. So if you have not been protect ing your forests in the past, try it trad see if you don’t receive a greatei income in the future from your for est than you have in the past Cooperation, Miss Laura Eden.field, Vienna; Tallulah Silver Jubilee, Mrs. A M.

Austin, director of the census, Wash ington, with reference to taking the 1935 farm census: “The enumerators will be selected by the supervisor of the district, as sisted by the bureau’s representative from Washington office. All applica tions for enumerators should be sub mitted to the supervisor immediate!*, upon his appointment. The enumera tors should be residents of the small areas which they are to canvas with in the counties ar.d will be required tc pass a census test to determine their fitness for the work. “The supervisor and assistant su pervisor must be appointed not later than Dee. 1, the enumerators must be selected and instructed during Lie month of December, and the actual canvass must begin on Jan. 2.” The counties of the Third Con gressional District will compose the Sixth Supervisor’s District of Geor gia and will have its headquarters at Americus. Approximately 92 enume rators will be selected for this dis trict and their work will require from 15 to 20 days. A supervisor and an assistant supervisor will be appointed for the district, they to be appointed by December 1. They will select the enumerators during December and give them instructions. Their head quarters will be in Ameri-us and ap- plicaton may be made to the super visor after Dec. 1. (By <!. C. Daniel, County Agent) The Board of Commissioners of Taylor county recently decided to de clare war on screw worms in Taylor county. In accordance with this de cision they have bought a barrel of pine tar oil ar.d one ol benzol. These materials are free to those citizens of Taylor county who have animals that are actually infested with the screw worm. Tur alone will he issued to those who perform surgical opera tions of any kind on their animals. The tar is used to repell the fly tiiu: lays the screw worm eggs ' and tlie benzol is used to kill the maggot af ter the wound is infected. No benzol or tar will he distributed to farmers who are not in immediate need of the material and in order to serve as many citizens as possible ah effort will ho made to limit the amount to each farmer in proportion to his actual needs. The benzol and pine tar oil have been placed in the hands of the coun ty agent who has agreed to distribute it to the best of his ability. This is a most wise move on the part of the Commissioners and ore that will be appreciated by all who have the wel fare of the county at heart. While it has boon proven that it is almost im possible to completely eradicate the screw worm from any given area that by keeping constancy after him his damage will he reduced to a minimum. It is opssible that a hard winter will completely route the enemy. Let us hope that we will soon have just this sort of weather con trol. . Since the supply of timber country R.
