07-July-Mocksville EnterpriseVOLUME XXIX “AU The County News For Everybody”MOCKSVILLE, N. C., FRIDAY. JULY 5, 1946 "A ll The County News For Everybody”N0.17 COUNTY WHEAT CROP IS AVERAGE; BARLEY AND OATS EXCEPTIONAL Shown above Is M. D. Pope, Cana, combining oats for his neighbor, Walter Boger, Route 2, Mocksvillc. Observations throughout the county are that barley and oat yields have been particularly good, and wheat Is about an average crop. A new oat variety, Lamont, has given good yields, but lodges badly. Yields of 72 bushels per acre have been reported. Also, Letorla, wliich is a selection of our old standby, Lee oats, has shown much promise of good yields and ability to stand up. Now is the time to begin to "beat” a feed shortage this winter, the county agent says. Grain crops, par ticularly barley or oats sown the latter part of August, or early In September will afford a great deal of grazing this fall and early spring, and will still give a fair grain yield. This green grazing crop will help supply a much needed protein. Plan now to sow, at least one acre of grazing crops for each three cowis. Oeorge Hobson or W . H. Klmrey, assistant, will be glad to help farmers in their grazing program. SMOOT URGES DAVIE FARMERS TO VOTE JULY 12 ON TOBACCO QUOTAS “Vote your own way, but by all means vote.” That wi^s the final appeal made today to flue- cured tobacco growers of Davie county by J. N. Smoot, chairman of the County Agricultural Con servation committee, in urging farmers to participate In the fluecured tobacco referendum on frlday, July 12. "Congress has made It pos sible for us to decide for our selves whether we want mar keting quotas on flue-cured to bacco for 1947 and It's up to us to go to the polls and state our preference. At the present time, flue-cured tobacco grow ers are producing above world consumption levels to build up depleted stocks in foreign coun ties. Marketing quotas afford the opportunity to adjust this supply to meet demand. Mar keting quotas furnish growers with a method of adjusting sup ply to demand and can help to provide fair prices to growers for the tobacco they produce,” he said. If quotas are approved, indi vidual farm acreage allotments for 1947 will not be leas than 80 percent of the 1948 allotment for any farm which has grown up to 75 percent of Its allotted acre age in any one of the past three years. There will be a small acreage for upward adjustment of old farm allotments, partic ularly small farm allotments, and for establishing allotments on farms on which no tobacco has been grown In the past flve years. If the supply and de mand situation warrants, the secretary of agriculture is au thorized, under provisions of the act, to Increase allotments any time up to March 1, 1947. Every person who has an in terest In the 1946 crop of flue- cured tobacco as owner, tenant, or share cropper Is entitled to vote In the referendum but no person is entitled to more than one vote even though he pro duces tobacco in itwo or more communities, counties or states. Mr. Smoot said, "I believe it is up to us to show our Interest by going to the polls and voting one way or the other. This Is the democratic way of deciding this Important issue and I urge that every flue-cured tobacco grower In the county go to his community voting place on Fri day, July 12, and vote In this referendum " Polls will be open from 7 a.m to 9 pjn, Pino Grange Has Record Attendance The Pino grange met last Monday night with 63 present, the largest attendance to date.

Mr. Massey was discharged from the armed services on Jan- uäfy“l'lT'~l«43;— Aflet' -lookhig— around for almost a year for tho type of work he wanted, Mas sey decided he wanted to farm for his living. Both he and hla wife were reared on the farm and wanted to get back to the earth. Application to purchase a farm with the aid of the Farm Security administration was flled with Locke Holland, FSA supervisor, on January 5, 1946, and after thorough investigation by the Davie County FSA com mittee, Mr. Massey and wife were approved as eligible for Farm Security administration help. The farm Massey select ed was apjlralsed and approved by the committee, composed of Fred R. Lakey, Lonnie P. Cart ner and Lindsay J. Luper, as suitable for Massey’s type of farming—tobacco, grain and livestock. In addition to helping Mr. Massey purchase th« farm tho Farm S^urity aifmKlistraUto’ Included enough money to’ en able him to construct a new set of farm buildings since the farm had none. In planning the buildings “adequate” waa tho main feature—plenty of room to store and shed all harvested crops, livestock and tools; a fly- proof dwelling, safe water sup ply and toilet. Improving the farm and home were not over looked. A farm and home plan was worked out by Mr. and Mrs. Massey with the help of the farm and home supervisors, Locke Holland and Lucy Pat Al len. This plan provided for a systematic Improvement pro gram In,the home and on the farm. Lime and phosphate will be applied to help increase farm yields.

UP-TO-DATE FARMING DATA URGED FOR RURAL CLASSES New York — In conference held throughout the nation, ed ucators are learning that farm leaders have very definite ideas as to how rural education should be Improved. In response to requests for suggested changes, farm group leaders at a Columbia Univer sity meeting here have made the following recommendations: 1. Education should be more closely linked with the problems ot everyday rural life. 2. Children should be encour aged to discuss such problems as why the farmer gets less than onethird ot the consumer’s dol lar spent on farm products. Emphasis on Machinery 3. More attention should be given to soil conservation, 4. Schools should teach chil dren how to live better on farms and how to operate jnodern ma chinery, rather than teach them For Fire Power! GOES INTO PRESENT FURNACE Our Many Satisfied Customers Kecommend CANNON-MILLER TOBACCO CURERS The One Thing You Don’t Have to Worry About Is Plenty oi Heat Here’s What the Cannon Curer Will Do: The curer is the simplest to operate, having two direct needle valve controls which will give you any amount of heat you desire, It burns on the ordef of a blow torch. The cups are first flooded, then the burners are liglited and when this oil is about burned out the valves are opened again and the burners begin to vaporize, the oil burning a mixture of oil and air. For Information See Your Agent DAVIE TRACTOR & IMPLEMENT CO, the historic dates. These recommendations wore made at the No’ th Atlantic Re gional Conference on rural life and education, held at Colum bia Teachers College. The meet ing, ninth in a series of such conferences, was spon.sored by tlie National Education associa tion and by Teachers college. Farm organization loaders, ru ral editors and educators par ticipated In the scssons. ■Dr. Frank W. Cyr, chairman of the conference and professor ot education at Teacliers col lege, declared that farmers liave progressed far beyond educators in thinking about rural educa tion problems. "I have been to these confer ences all over the country,” he said. “All farm group leaders are way ahead of what anyone dreamed of in wanting modern education tor tlielr children to enable them to do a' real job on the farms of the future.” Rural Slums Discussed The growing Interest In agri cultural education was shown In statistics made public at the conference. New York state schools have a total of 123 de partments of vocational agri culture. Applications now be fore the state education depart ment would bring that figure to 500. Another urgent farm problem —that of rural slums—was dis cussed at the conference, Mrs. Samuel I. Rosenman, chairman of the national committee on housing, told the conference that they are worse than city slums In many cases and, be- cause ot tiieir isolation, are less noticed. Her committee Is work ing with farm leaders to find ways to make latest architectu- rai-a-n-d-eoivaireet-loiv- -teehftiqites- available in rural areas. Dr. F. F. Hill, professor of land economics at Cornell university, told the conference that differ ences between urban and rural people are narrowing. Continu ing technological changes which reduce the number of men and man-hours required in farming, necessitate development of non farming jobs in rural areas, he stated. “Education In rural schools,” he continued, “should train stu dents tor nontarm life. Even tiie farmers are not and will not be In the future, solely farmers. As agriculture becomes increas ingly commercialized, farmers will need to know more and more about the business in volved in farming. Many a farm has been lost simply be cause tho farmer was a poor businessman. "Another.. important Implica tion of the constant change af fecting agriculture Is the possi bility that farms will Increase In size. The famllar one- two- or three-man farm may yield to a larger unit. The great in crease In the amount ot capital required to start a farm will affect agriculture. In some parts of the country today. It takes between $40,000 and $50,000 to start a farm — that’s not the way it wa when I was a boy.” SHEFFIELD The quartet of Holly Springs Baptist church will sing at Lib erty PIlgrlmHolinoss church on Sunday evening, July 7 at 8 o'clock.

Mr. and Mrs. Powell Miller ha das their guest last week Mr, Miller’s relatives from near Richmond Hill, FARM QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED Question: Is there any feed ing value In sweet potato vines? Answer: Yes, sir. Dr. Walter J. Peterson, animal nutritionist for the agricultural experiment station at State college, says that dehydrated sweet potato leaves are the equal of deliy- drated alfalfa in the feeding of poultry and livestock. J. Y. Las siter, extension horticulturist, reports that agricultural engi neers are working on a harvest ing machine that will save both the potatoes and the vines. With the dehydrating of strings and jumbos and a new harvesting machine, sweet potatoes may easily become one of our most important food and feed crops. Question: Will we be able to get more hybrid com seed next year? Answer: There are now 155 certified and 153 apprentice growers-of-hybr-id-c-sfH-seed-ia North Carolina working under the supervision of the N. C. Crop Improvement association. Much larger supplies of hybrid seed will be available next year, but growers should be careful to get the best adapted strains for their section. A card addressed to the agricultural editor. State College, Raleigh, will bring a free leaflet sliowing the best hy brids for each of the nine corn growing sections of North Car olina with a description of each hybrid. Question: When Is the best time to begin a tall garden? Answer: Right now, says Johnny Harris, extension liorti- culturlst at State college. He suggests that seed ot cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower be sown in cups or otlior containers, and thinned to one plant to the cup. After they have grown for four to six weeks, set the plants, dirt and all, In the garden'. In this way the plants will have a much better opportunity of witiistand. ing tho hot, dry weather of sum mer. ADVANCE Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Cornatzer, Mr. and Mrs. W. A.

Grinnells, veterina rian for the agricultural experi ment station at State college, has warned North Carolina live stock men to watch for blackleg among their herds and have calves vaccinated Where losses from blackleg have occurred, “This is a fastkllling disease," Dr, Grinnells said, ‘‘and when animals are found dead in the pasture, it is advisable for the veterinarian to make a post, mortem examination. Some farmers figure lightening may have killed the animal, .when blackleg is the cause." Germs of the blackleg disease live in the soil and young cat tle pick them up while grazing. Usual symptoms of the disease are dullness of the animal, slight swellings and lameness. If the finger is passed over the swellings, a crinkling feeling will be noted, caused by gas be neath the skin. Prevention is the best method of controlling the disease, ac cording to Dr, Grinnells, who urged that calves be vaccinated in infected areas. Calves with the disease may sometimes be saved by emergency treatment, if the veterinarian is called in time. the root.

NEWS OF FARM CONSERVATION By O. W. McCLELLAN Paul Harpe near Center was recently assisted in making two farm plans by the Middle Yad kin district. Mr. Harpe is plan ning to do much more in the future to hold his soil than he has in the past. He sowed some this spring on some hilly wood ed land. He is planning to strip crop his steepest land, sow some alfalfa, some improved pasture and do some terracing over a period of years.-, Reed Hauser and J. K. Sheek near Yadkin Valley church are highly pleased with terracing and drainage work the Soli Con servation Service assisted them with last year. They are now making preparations to sow some alfalfa and pasture grass es this fall.

Pointers Given For Large Grain Yields According to Agricultural Ex periment station records .and the experience of leading grain growers In North Carolina, yields may be considerably In creased by following certain improved practices. These practices include prop er prepaartlon of the seed bed, the use of one of the best va rieties, seeding at the proper time, and the right method of fertilization. In preparing the seed bed, disc, in a cover crop for small grains with a heavy harrow in July or August, leaving the crop residue in the first 3 inches of the soil surface. It is not nec essary to break the land deeply, Rough breaking helps to pre vent washing. Small grains sown after such crops as cotton and corn are usually planted too late for maximum yields. Either purchase treated seed or treat seed at home. Be sure that the seed are free of weeds, of good germination, and the best variety. Farm agents of the extension service are supplied with the information as to' the best varieties for all areas in North Carolina. Seed at the fol lowing rates: 5 pecks of wheat per acre, or 2 bushels of oats or barley. The following dates of seed ing give the best yields of oats and barley; Piedmont, October 1 to 25; Mountains, September 20 to October 10; and Coastal Plain, October 1C to 30, Observe tiie Hessian fly-free dates in seeding wheat: Pied mont, October 10 to 31; Moun tains, September 20 to October 10; and Costal Plain, November 1 to 10, The lower Piedmont should be considered a part of Shaw Urges Continuance Of Bright Tobacco Quotas The outcome of the tobacco referendum on July 12 will not only affect the welfare of grow ers in 1D47 but also largely de- termme their economic future in the postwar era, says R, Flake Shaw, executive secretary of the North Carolina Farm bureau, in a communication addressed to farm leaders in North Carolina. He points out that the only purpose of an adjustment pro gram is to keep a properly bal anced relationship between sup ply, and demand. Therefore, he and his organization favor the present marketing quota system, with such increases or decreases in production a* may be deemed necessary to meet the require ments of the consumer. Again lie points out that to bacco farmers can produce suf ficient tobacco to meet' the re quirements of the consumer, and that marketing quotas have resulted in much more efficient -nwthod-s-of—pr-oa«-8iioa.-- There are 335 thousand farm families engaged in the produc tion of flue-cured tobacco. “To bacco has been the principal crop in North Carolina', and to a lesser degree in all other flue- cured belts, for many genera tions," Shaw says. “It has been the foundation of the economic life of the community in which it was produced. “Prior to the marketing quota system, when farmers planted according to their own inclina tions and without regard to tho requirements of demand, the economic level of the tobacco farmer was near the bottom. His standard of living was low. His family had no luxuries and were deprived of many of the neces sities of life. His farm build ings, in many Instances, were di lapidated because he was with out money to keep them in re pair. Only in rare Instances did the children of tobacco farmers have the advantage of an edu cation in institutions of higher learning, “It is important that you vote your convictions on July 12,” Peanuts, the third ranking crop In North Carolina today, is among the first 10 crops in the nation, according to agronomists of the State College Extension Service. the Coastal Plain. Later seedlngs than those given usually mean lower yields.

PUBLIC WELFARE IS EXPLAINED Describing public welfare work as a function which helps peo ple reach the stage where they need no more aid from welfare programs, Dr, Ellen Winston, State Commissioner of Public Welfare, praised Davie county for Its high record of efficiency and aid In welfare work, last Friday at a luncheon meeting in Mocksville, In her initial visit In the county Dr, -Winston discussed welfare service as It is related to Davie county and called upon citizens to obtain a basic under- standng of public welfare and what it does. She cited Davie county's generosity in allowing an average grant of $17.79 per person for June in old age as sistance pay. The county was again ahead in monthly average grants to family groups in the Aid to De pendent Children program, with a-'state ilgure‘“of~$28nJ4 and“a Davie grant of $39.10. Nineteen families in the county received such financial aid. Dr, Winston said, and explained that the fig ure was "far above the state average," Dr, Winston emphasized, how ever, that much of welfare ser vice does not involve financial assistance. Only one out of four persons seeking help actually ask for money. At the same time, she stressed that public welfare extends a variety of services wiiere almost any fam ily may need or want welfare help. "Public welfare is business as well as humanitarian in Davie county," sad the State commis sioner, "Most families receiv ing financial aid must bring their patronage to local businesses, many times almost immediate ly." Dr, Winston described welfare service as connected with the four boarding homes in the county, and pointed to the la mentable fact that no facilities are available for the sub-nor- mal orphan. She expressed the hope that such facilities may soon become a reality, "Interested citizens in Davie county, as well as the welfare service, must help the delin quent and sub-normal child in every way possible before the court is called upon to admin ister discipline,” Dr, Winston said, referring to children who have a court record at an early age. She explained five functions of county welfare service as: 1, Training schools fur delin. quents, 2, Vocational rehabilitation programs, 3, Aid to crippled children program,. 4, State commission for the blind. 5, Issue work permits for la bor of minors. Concluding, Dr, Winston con gratulated Davie county for having set the standard for public welfare work. The speaker was introduced by J, G, Crawford, chairman of the Davie county Board of Pub lic Welfare, and the luncheon was attended by the Welfare Board, consisting of Mrs, D, J, Lybrook and C. H. McMahan^ Miss Edith Guffy, field repre sentative of the State Welfare Board, and a number of inter ested citizens of the county.

State College It’s no time to waste or throw away any kind of food. The foods not needed for the hun gry world are the foods that will help us flll the gap made by our voluntary curtailment of fats, oils and grains. If there are leftover foods, proper storage and best u.se of them In tasty dishes'will keep them out of the garbage pail. Meats often spoil unless placed in the coldest part of the re frigerator. Forgotten food shoved back In the ice box too often ends up in the garbage pall. Frequent Inspection of pack aged goods, too, saves waste and eliminates damage from Insects and mice. One of the most outstanding spots for food waste is right at Ihe__tfl hlEx__Ilie_-biU._Ql_..iDiid scraped from plates. There is plenty of room for saving and better nutrition in the foods that come Into the kitchen. If they are properly prepared. Food values can be almost completely lost in cook ing. For example, paring away one-tenth to one-quarter of the potato results In physical loss, but in addition Iron and vitamin C In the potato are wasted by not cooking It with the Jacket on. There is afso nutritive food lost when housewives cook veg etables in too much water and then drain off the water Into the sink. Here’s a waste of vita mins and minerals which have seeped out of the vegetables into thé water. In addition to that, flavor which might encourage the eating of such vegetables as cabbage and turnips Is lost by too much cooking. " I - - ■ -rr ■ . Troubled Poultrymen Ask a $64 Question The poultry department at State college Is a busy place these days as one farmer after another comes in with a shoe box of sick chickens under his arm and the telephone keeps ringing all the time. It seems that everyone Is ask ing the $64 question—"What is making my chickens die?” Let’s listen In and hear what one farmer tells Prof. Roy Dear styne. "It was like this. Profes sor,” he says, “I got 290 chicks on Friday—believe it was June 14—and two died that night, and then four on Saturday, and ev ery day since then I’ve been losing about five or six chlck^s, until now I haven’t got but 138, or that's the number I did have, when I left home this morning.” "Well," says Prof, Dearstyne, "we will be glad to make an ex amination and let you know what the trouble is. See those test tubes over there with brown ish and pinkish materials in them. That’s where we are test ing for all kinds of poultry trou bles and we have plenty of them during this hot weather, "Really, we should not grow out chicks at this time of the year but still people try it. We have had three telephone calls about sick chickens in the last few minutes and there was an other farmer just ahead of you with the usual shoe box under his arm and holes cut in the top and sides.” "You are dead right, Profes sor,” was the reply, "I knew it was too late to grow out chicks, but you see my boy is coming home from the navy and he wanted some chickens to get started with, and so we bought ’em.” "Don’t blame you one bit,” said Prof. Dearstyne, "but it’s too bad that they are dying.

' K VOLUME XXIX “AU The County News For Everybody”MOCKSVILLE, N. C., FRIDAY, JULY 12, 1946 “AU The County News For Everybody’*N 0 18 EXPERIMENTS BEING MADE IN CORN FERTILIZATION ON MOCK FARM How well does It pay to fertilize corn? That question Is being answered in an experiment on Oeorge Mock’s farm, located at Mock’s Church, near Advance. Mr. Mock is cooperating wtth the county agent’s office and the North Carolina Experiment station, in conducting 16 different tests varying from no fer tilizer up to 1,500 pounds per acre. The above scene, taken June 20, shows Mr. Mock on the left pointing to a row of corn 48 inches high that received the equivalent of 500 pounds of 4-10-10 fertilizer per acre. On the right, Dr. B. A. Krantz, from State college, points out the com in the ad joining row is only 24 inches high, and received 500 pounds of 4-0-10 per acre. Would you have thought phosphate alone would make this difference? In addition to the fertility tests the experiment includes a number of plots on the spacing of corn in the row. The spacing varies from 15 inches to 36 inches. A field meeting will be held at this experiment sometime in August, when all Interested corn grow ers will have an opportunity to study the results. The exact date will be announced later. HERE’S THE PROOF Paul Blackwelder, local dairyman, is shown with two fish he caught recently at Morehead City. In his right hand is an amberjack which weighed 18 (or was it 80?) pounds and in his left hand is a cavio which toted pretty close to 20 pounds.

Good Practices Give Record Crop Of Pigs A record number of spring pigs were saved this year, re ports Jack Kelley, Extension swine specialist of State College, and because of this the pog crop Is larger this year. An average of 8.5 pigs per lit ter for the entire state is a great improvement over ten years ago and is encouraging to swine men. The cause for this remarkably good record involves several factors: first, exception ally good weather during far rowing time ¡second, wider use of cleaner, tighter houses with sloping floor and guard rail; third, more rigid culling of the breeding hogs and the saving of sows with good farrowing re cords in numbers of pigs raised past weaning age; fourth, gene ral Increase In knowledge of how to cope with diseases and the use of practices promoting herd health. The tendency is to wait for the corn crop by using pasture and roughage Instead of push ing the pigs to market on full rations. This fits well with the support price program. Fewer tout ihealthiier pigs that grow rapidly is a requirement now that feeds are scarce. "In general farmers are ex erting more than usual precau tion to keep their herds healthy, with consquentiy more pigs sav ed and greater profit realized” says Dr. C. D. Grlnnells, State College experiment station vet erinarian. For one thing tlie use of sodium flurlde ia eUiainating Intestinal worms is increasing this season.

Hog Grazing Helps Relieve Feed Crisis “Now Is the time as never be fore to extend the use of tem porary grazing crops for hogs,” said Dr. Roy Lovvorn, pasture specialist at the recent hog breeders field day at State Col lege. Lovvorn pointed out that hav ing hogs on pasture is not only a sound management practice that has been recognized for years, but now offers a way to relieve..the. acute feed, shortage and still grow quality meat. Although it is too late to use some of the crops this summer is never too late to plan for the future. The main crops recom mended are listed as follows: Soybeans: Any leafy variety, sown in narrow rows, is good. Use a bushel of seed per acre., Lespedeza: While this is not the best grazing crop, it can be used to advantage except in dry periods. Kudzu: A new plant for hog grazing and one that gives ex- -{•«cilsjit--results—4vhe«--prapfirly- used. Alfalfa: This king of the hay crops is very satisfactory for hog grazing. It can be grown on any well drained soil, but due to its abundant growth must be fer tilized heavily with lime, phos phate and potash. Ladlno Clover: Another new plant which makes an excellent growth suitable for forage. The seed are expensive, $2.50 a pound and 2-4 pounds per acre are necessary. For winter grazing, rye grass and crimson clover are still the best we have. They should be sown early, seeded heavily, 15-20 pounds of clover and 25-30 pounds of rye grass per acre and fertilized liberally.

Ways To Save Sugar In Preserving Fruit Careful planning In the use of sugar allocations will assure ways to preserve the maximum amount of 'fruits for canning, says Mary L, McAllister, Exten sion Economist in Food Conser vation and Marketing at State College. “The food problems are as great, If not greater, than they were at any time during the war years,” she points out. Urging the continued use of the wartime rule for sugar, one- half cup per quart of fruit, Mrs. McAllister offers the following suggestions for substituting corn syrup and honey to replace the sugar in canning fruits and in making Jams, jellies, and pre serves. In canning fruits, honey may replace as much as '/2 the sugar called for in the canning re cipe; oorn syrup 1-3 the sugar. In making jelly, honey may replace up to '/a the sugar called for; corn syrup as much as Vi the sugar called for. When using part honey or part corn syrup, best results may be obtained by cooking the mix ture slightly beyond the jelly stage. For jams and preserves, sugar should be weighed rather than measured by cupfuls. In making substitutions by cupfuls rather than by weight, 1 pound of sugar equals about 2 cups sugar and 1 pound honey or corn syrup measures approximately 1 1-3 cups. With corn syrup or honey, replace up to half the weight of sugar called for in the recipe. By using less sugar, jams and preserves should be cooked a little longer to get the product as thick as desired. Side shoots on tomato plants may be used as a ready source of plants for the fall garden.

You should have obtained a supply several weeks ago to be certain'of enough to do a tho rough Job. All reports indicate that only two-thirds of a normal supply of calcium arsenate Is available in North Carolna and not one pound can be wasted since the weevil population is Increasing in many sections of the state. WALKER FUNERAL HOME Funeral Services—Ambulance Service Phone 5711 Phone 48 Cooleemee, N. C. Mocksville, N. C. Q. How does sweet potato meal compare with corn as livestock feed? A. The sweet potato meal, a new feed to North Carolina farmers, is fully as good as corn in nutritional value, and the live stock -will eat it as readily as they do corn. In addition to these qualities the meal will keep indefinitely in the crib since weevils and other insects will not bother it. Rats are the only known pests that need be considered in storing bhe meal. Dehydrators are to be In opera tion soon at Tabor City, Green ville, Newton, and Oriental to take care of surplus production and culls. > Q. What effect will tobacco quotas have on government loans? A. If quotas are approved by farmers In the tobacco referen dum on Friday, July 12 farm acreage allotment will be con tinued on the' 1047 crop and gov ernment loans will be available. If quotas are not approved, the government is not authorized to provide loans for the 1947 flue- cured tobacco crop.

Driver, near Robert’s Store, In cooperation with the Middle Yadkin District made some terraces last spring. Mr. Driver Is highly pleased with the benefits he has already gotten. J. J. Hoots and son Kenneth, near Advance, have become very successful with sweet clover on eroded depleted land. They have some sweet clover around waist high which was seeded this spring. They have been grazing, mowing and turning under the sweet clover. Ample liming, fer tilizing, proper inoculation and early seeding accounts for their successful growing of this crop. The Poster Brothers, at County Ine, started with sweet clover ablut seven years ago without ideal conditions or treatment. Prior to their start with this crop they made eight bushels of wheat per acre. After two years in sweet clover this field made sixteen bushels of wheat per acre, but the best is yet to be told: thirty-two bushels was the yield after having sweet clover for two niore years. Naturally these men like sweet clover. J. N. Smoot has a field of sweet clover near County Line that will average eight feet high this year. S. A. Koontz, near County Line, is getting started with sweet clo ver and likes it fine. Terry Rice Burton, manager of the Woodson farm, seeded about seven acres of '¿ifi’Jtea les pedeza on some depleted land. This man is doing a splendid Job of conservation work con sidering the need on this large iarm. The McBride' boys, operators of Mrs. Hugh Sanford’s farm near Farmington did their first terracing last fall.

Post Commander Fred R. Leagans presided over the meting and gave the obligation to a large class of recruits a majority of whom were Veterans of World War II. Captain Paul Foster’s Red pla. toon won the drive with 46 new members against Captain Gil bert Atwood’s Blue platoon with only 43. A blowout paid for by the losing Blue platoon will be held soon. Delegates were elected to at tend the National Encampment in Boston, Mass. In September as follows: Roy H. Allen, Blaine C. Moore, F. H. Rldenhour, W. J. Moody, R. R. Foster, William H.

PREVENTABLE ACCIDENTS There were 1,299 deaths in this state last year due to prevent able accidents. Of this number 695 were the result of automo bile accidents which should not have occurred except for reck lessness and a seeming disregard of traffic laws. Police departments are in clined to charge a large per cent of these automobile accidents to youthful drivers who persist in exceeding speed limits and tak ing unnecessary chances on the highways-and in the congested areas. Drivers under the influ ence of alcohol are also high on the list. If the causes of accidents are carefully analyzed it will be found that most of them are either directly or indirectly the result of subnormal Intelligence in some way—a lack of foresight or the ability to anticipate dan ger. For this reason children are particularly prone to accidents. They have not reached that stage of mental development to adequately guard themselves against needless Injury. Many youths and some adults are still children when it comes to this particular phase of mental de velopment. Parents should con sider this matter carefully be fore trusting the teen age group with motor vehicles. Moreover we should be more careful with regard to whom we issue driving permits. Someday, no doubt, there will be developed some test by which scientists can detect in Individ uals those who are not accident conscious or those of subnormal intelligence In this peculiar way, and such a test will enable us to guard defectives to some ex tent from engaging in hazard ous pursuits. There will always be some, however, who will point the unloaded gun and pull the trigger, or build the home fires with gasoline. There is considerable damage to peaches from curcullo moths this year, causing the fruit to be imperfect and unvenly develop ed. Buyers should watch for this, and not pay top price for such fruit.

It covers his face, falls over his eyes, and make his steps unsteady. He Is Mis sissippi’s responsibility, but he is a problem for America. In his rantings about white supremacy he is bringing up an issue far too great for the small mind of Bilbo. The race problem must be worked out by men of good-will In both races. Here in North Carolina we are making most gratify- “ in^'p^ògress7'TSIàTi3rNegroesTóiè“ anù'ìrr(M^~'w^ grò education is moving forward, and better facilities for the Negroes are coming. This is done with the help and ap proval of the white people of the state. Negro leadership in North Carolina is of the best, and progress has been made wiithout great friction. More progress will be made, and the friction will lessen. Calm, impartial study of the War Between the States will lead us to see that a few hot-tempered men drew the issues so rapidly that the south was maneuvered into a posi tion where retreat was impossible. It was left to the sober- minded, able men, to lead and fight a war which their better judgment might have avoided had they been consid ered. We must not let red-gallused politicians create ha treds and prejudices wlhich may involve us in serious and disastrous conflict. Our race problem can be solved by wise leadership, and solved to the mutual advantages of both races, but it cannot be solved by men of the Bilbo and Tal- madge stripe. A JOKE A DAY This Changing World He was a klndhearted old gen tleman and it upset him to see the little tyke crying so he ask ed sympathetically; “What’s the matter, my little man?” “I’m lost. Boo-hoo.” "Lost? Oh, com e now, let’s give this a little thought. You miist hbt'glve up so eas’UyrLet’s reason 111 out. First oi all, where do you live?” "Don’t know,” whined the youngster. "We-we’ve just mov ed, and I can't remember the new a-address,” “Why that will be easy to trace . , . what’s your name?” “Don't know, Boo-hoo ” “Don’t know? Come, come,” urged the old fellow a little im patiently, “Why a big fellow of six or seven like you, surely knows his own name , , , John? William? Edward? Harold? , . ,” “N-nol sobbed the boy , . . “M-mother got married again this morning.” 4 . DAILY DISH— Somebody said, “Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what sort of person you are,” We do not know whether or not such a statement'is true regarding one’s daily diet, bul; we believe that on the mental side it!s true to a great extent, “As a man thinketh in his heart so is he.” That is what makes us look upon the newspaper head lines with misgivings. We are treated to a daily diet of the worst in life. Murders, divorces, scandals, etc, are played up, while the more normal, wholesome, healthy, noble spir it and deeds of fine men and women go unheralded. It does tend to create an impression of the worst as being the gen eral and accepted state of things. Another fault in our daily diet served in news and other periodicals is the prominence given to remarks w hich serve as propaganda. Frequently such statements are wrested from their context and given an entirely different meaning. And, frequently, the most significant item gets such scant notice as to make it overlooked. As a case in point, Emil Rieve, president of the Textile Workers Union, C. I, O, was Interviewed in Atlanta the other day and what he said was buried in small type. He said: “Organized labor must ac cept responsibility not only to their membership, but to em ployers and the general public. The time is past when the big unions can be operated as private clubs w'ithout consid eration of public opinion.” There are such men in CIO, and there is such a move ment going on within labor unions. For a more wholesome and constructive mental attitude on the part of the general public if would be well to give such items prominence in the headlines. DOES NOT BREED CONTEMPT— The old saying that “familiarity breeds contempt” is true only of small people who cannot see the values in the realities of life. When people actually, truly, become ac quainted their sympathies and their appreciation are broad ened and deepened. If more couples learned to truly under stand each other before marriage, there would be fewer, but happier and more successful marriages. If the many groups of people now divided by such termg as labor and manage ment, really understand each other there would be less friction and more cooperation. That is why we shall con stantly urge that each group try to get into the place of the other and view the whole from the other fellow’s stand point. If each would try to live for a time In the place of the other would make a great difference In relationships. If the average worker had the money of the other fellow he would do exactly, perhaps worse, than the man who now has It, If the average man of wealth and position were In the place of the worker he would probably be more of a revolutionist than the worker is at present. We must be friends If any of us prosper. Puzzle A man somewhat under the Influence of good-fellowship at tempted to pass through the re volving door of a restaurant. Each time he entered he made the complete round and found himself In the street again. Af ter several unsuccessful attempts he sat down on the pavement to . work things out, A moment later a young man walked rapidly up the street and went In, The door went around and a young womap came out. The Inebriate was puzzled, "What gets me,” he remarked, "is what the devil he did with his clothes,” Farmer's Letter to His Banker Stop us. If you’ve heard this one of the farmer who didn’t mince words when he wrote his bank the fpllowing letter: “Gentlemen: Your letter re ceived and It struck me at a particularly bad time, I know I owe that note and I will pay It just as soon as I can, I am go ing to ask you as a personal fa vor to please give me a little more time, for If this were Judg ment day and you were no better prepared to meet your Maker than I am to meet this note, you would go to hell, I trust that you will do this,” Knew What He Meant Many changes were made In pastorates of various churches by conferences of several denom. Inatlons held recently. And In some instances, the pastors probably feel as did the negro reverend who had been asked to seek fairer flelds by his flock. Preaching his farewell sermon, he outdid hmlself and flnally came to his conclusion: "And now, brudders an' sisters, when I walk down de aisle of dls church for de last time, I wants you to notice something purtlc- ular—and dat something Is a twig of mistletoe, pinned right at the bottom of my coat-tallsl” Easy Customer (eyeing the pecans) ‘W h o attends to the nuts?” Clerk (a W, G,): “Be patient, I'll wait on you In a minute,” Can Keep ’Em Tommy: “Can you eat nuts, grandma?” Grandma: “Well, dear, no, I haven't my teeth," Tommy: “Well, look after these till I come back from school,” Mrs, Talksome—I was out spoken In my sentiments at the club today, Mr, T.—I can’t believe It.

CLEAN SKILLETS Have you been disappointed because that sturdy iron skillet you purchased so happily at the hardware store just won’t come clean? Take heart, do, because the beloved utensil can yet be us'ed! According to the United States Department of Agricul ture, the fact Is that during the war the seasoning of cast iron was Jiot carried on in factories as It was before the war. Doing the work at home takes time but it is worth it. You should rub the inside of your utensil thoroughly with unsalt ed tat, then heat It over low heat on the top of the stove for several hours. Let the utensil cool, then rub It inside with a clean paper or cloth. Do not use water. Repeat this process com pletely every day for several days until the pores of the met al surface are thoroughly filled with unsalted fat, well baked in.

Garriss Recommends Peanuts Be Dusted Leafspot disease have already appeared In the peanut crops of Eastern Carolina and Howard Garriss, Extension plant path ologist at State College, has re commended that dusting with copper-sulphur dust mixtures begin at once. “I should like to encourage peanut growers to start dusting as soon as possible, even though the plants are small,” Garriss said. Copper-sulphur dust mix tures give better leafspot con trol than either copper or sul phur dust alone. The mixture should contain four to six per cent copper, by weight. "Since the plants are small now, il2 to 15 pounds of dust per acre will be sufficient for the first application. Three or four appllcatlon.s put on at two-week intervals are required. In the event of rain soon after a dust ing, another should be put on as quickly as possible. Later as the plants grow larger 15 to 20 pounds of dust must be used per acre. “The dust may be applied at any time during the day. How ever, many growers say best results are obtained if dusting Is confined to early morning and late afternoon. A few farmers apply their dust on moonlight nights. "If the copper-sulphur mixture is put on the plants In the re commended amounts and at two-week Intervals leafspot diseases will cause Uttle damage to the peanut crop.” There are 170 known copies of John Wycllfe’s handwritten Bibles. for MST, ACCURME, DIPtWDftBlE SERVICI Wilkins Drug Co.

C. state College Food specialists say there Is more waste than overstocking and careless marketing. You can’t tell from the looks of a toad how far It can Jump and you can’t tell the value of all food by Its appearance. Many tons of fruit with slight blem ishes are Ignored by the cus tomer and left to rot, contami nate other fruit, and eventually be thrown away by the retailer. Many of these not so perfect or well-complected fruits have equal taste and nutritive value with their more attractive com panions. And another good rule for shoppers that saves food Is a hands-off policy when It comes to pinching, prodding, and pom_ mellng sound fruits and vege tables. Handling causes rot and results in waste. Many people throw away the leaves of cauliflower, endive, and chard without thinking of the tasty nutrition lost by fall ing to put them In stews find soups. Many a tasty healthful dish goes by the wayside If the cook Is unwilling to try new recipes that can turn leftovers or not overly popular vegetables Into a delicious dish. A little foresight in purchas ing, careful planning of meals, and conservation in the kitchen and at the table are Just good sense. It not only makes for more adequate, well balanced diets but in these days It saves the lives of millions of men. wo_ men, and children who are dy ing of hunger over the face of this earth ot ours.

The photograph was made from the barge of Vice Admiral W. H. P. Blandly, commander of Task Force One, the day after the explosion In Bikini Lagoon. Navy Radiophoto, Washington.—The War ' De partment is counting on a 3-to- 10-year occupation of Germany and Japan, but expects to evac uate its troops from Austria and Italy by July 1, 1947. This significant military plan ning, subject to upset by fail ure In the peacemaking, was disclosed by Oen. Dwight D. El senhower, army chief of staff, in testimony before the House Appropriations committee. This testimony, in support of the biggest peacetime budget of $7,240,335,000 requested in the War Department appropriations bill, delineates the considera tions and necessities which gov ern United tates global military policy In 1946. The uphill battle to maintain a ■ powerful military posture in the face of demobilization, In- P.PJî?Pj.ete.,._BpJJcy„,mkll)S_aiLiÎ world uncertainties is reflected, line by line, in the words of the wartime Allied commander In chief. The Inter-dependence of military and diplomatic policy is strongly underscored. General Elsenhower estimates that the United States Army can be pared down to 1,070,000 sol diers by July 1, 1947, only on condition: That the signing of peace treaties will end American oc cupational responsibilities in Austria and Italy by July, 1947. That the peoples of Germany and Japan will remain tractable despite decreasing forces of oc cupation. That the United Nations or ganization will Increase in sta ture as the foundation of world security. FULL FORCE PLANNED General Eisenhower’s testi mony ranged from pi4)test against a 50 per cent cut In ap propriations to finance atomic energy development to disclosure that- the joint chiefs of staff so far have been unable to co-or dinate Army aiid Navy policy on Paclflc bases. On the critical question of foreign occupations, however, the Army Chief of Staff disclosed that he had questioned General Joseph T. McNarney and Gen. Douglas MacArthur closely in Germany and Japan. Their es timates were that the United States should carry on for the next three years without reduc ing the size of its occupation forces. To succeed in its occupation missions. General Elsenhower said the United States should count on staying in Germany and Japan for from 5 to 10 more years, with some contracting of occupation forces possible as re sponsible governments are evolved. His testimony formed a sober backdrop to the diplomatic ef forts to write peace treaties at Paris, to the United Nations atomic energy discussions at New York, and to Amerldn plans to ¡provide powerful as sistance to China in rebuilding its military forces with Nation alist and Communist troops rep resented in the ratio of flve to one. Outlining the necessary steps toward adequate American mil itary power. General Elsenhow er commented. “To fail in these tasks is to stand convicted before the world as a people unready to perform the drudgery of securing the peace, even if we did demon strate, In war, the genius and courage to win a fighting vic tory.” He made these disclosures: 1. Present plans call for re moval ot all remaining Ameri can troops from Africa, from Austria, and from the Mediter ranean (Including Italy) before July 1, 1947. 2. The American objective in Korea is to assist that long-sub- ject state to establi.sh responsi ble and stable government, with the realization that it will "take some time" for Korea to become capable of self - government without assistance. 3, The joint chiefs of staff- relied upon by Navy opponents of armed forces unification to achieve co-ordinated military policy—has as yet been unable EISENHOWER—GAL T W O — to to achieve air and naval co-or dination of operations and ju risdiction in this nation's vital Pacflc bases — Saipan, Guam, etc. 4. The United States’ plan for international control of atomic energy is being studied by the joint chiefs of staff. Speaking forcefully of his own viewpoint. General Elsenhower said he was “against giving away any secret of United States until we are satisfied that there Is workable machinery for seeing to it that others as well will pursue the same general line of policy with respect to that secret.” 5. General Elsenhower added that any system for interna tional control of atomic energy would not be satisfactory unless it Included "full, free, and com plete inspection” of atomic ac tivities in all natons. 0. With respect to the atomic bomb project, the 1947 budget of which was cut from $400,000,- 000 to $200,000,000 by the House committee. General Elsenhower expressed full confidence In Maj. Gen. Leslie Groves, in charge of the Manhattan Proj ect, declared he felt the full fig ure should prevail, and warned that cutting funds would only postpone necessary letting of contracts lor critical develop ments. 7. General Eisenhower op posed turning over to the United Nations Relief and Rehabilita tion administration the feeding of Germany and other occupied areas, declaring It better that each occupying power continue to finance feeding In Its own zone. Otherwise, UNRRA, to which the United States con tributes 80 i>er cent of funds, would have to take on addi tional jobs in Russian and other foreign zones, a costly business to this country. 8. Among considerations gov erning the size of the postwar Army was the expectation that surplus war property abroad would be disposed of quickly. General Eisenhower under scored how unrest or lack of food in occupied countries could upset the close calculations on Army size by quoting a telegram from Gen. Douglas MaArthur, which read succinctly; "Send me food, or send me soldiers,—or, If possible, send both.” Air Lines to Europe Plan Huge Capacity New York.—Immediately fore_ seen capacity of American and foreign air lines over the North Atlantic—500 seats a day to Eu rope-wili approach the capac ity of luxury steamship services. According to estimates made at the recent meeting of the International Air Transport as sociation here, 500 seats a day would take 3,000 to 3,500 pas sengers 'to Europe in a week. This compares with 4,000 "first class” or "cabin” passengers carried by fast boats before the war. National air-line operators to. day are setting their sights to capture this luxury surface traf fic first before they take on oth er overseas categories of traffic. Before the war, by conservative estimates, trans-Atlantic passen ger ships from the port of New York alone carried up to 12,000 passengers a week. IT PAYS TO ilDVERTISE псза m n THESE WAÌ8 T ADJ %for w hat YOB m urr German Collapse Feared by British Herford, Germany. — Behind British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevln’s proposal for a federal organization of Germany is the desperate food situation and a very real threat of general eco nomic collapse In the British zone, high British ofi'icers said. The Brltsh Mlltary govern ment is hoping against hoije that the proposal might form the basis for an agreement on some form of central economic agencies for Germany that would be acceptable to the French and Russians, tlie officers explained. To them this could mean food from the Russian zone, which normally is Germany’s most Im- •portaTit— food^Tproducing— aTEXi; but at present is supplying no food at all to the British zone. While Germany as a whole had a 20 per cent food deficit to be made up by Imports before the war, the British zone now has a 40 per cent deficit. Meeting the minimum—possi bly less than the minimum — needs in food and raw material of the zone has cost the British 80,000,000 pounds during the past year. Under the circumstances the British military government ap pears to be In full agreement with the action of Lieut. Gen. Lucius D. Clay, deputy United States military commander in Europe, in halting the removal of economic assets as repara tions, although no official state ment on the matter has come from London yet. It is regarded as one of the means of bringing pressure for an agreement on treating Germany as an eco nomic unit. Meanwhile the British zone is living from hand to mouth, ac cording to British officers. Without adequate food there can be no substantial increa.se in Ruhr coal production. Inade quate coal means Inadequate steel, which means Inadequate manufactured goods and no prospect of enough exports to pay for food imports. Food can break the vicious circle. In March, just before normal rations were cut to 1,050 calo ries, coal production was ap proaching 200,000 tons dally and the British had worked out a “spartan” plan to provide mini mum economy for the zone. With the food cut, production dropped to 150,000 tons; That' tonnage Is regarded by the Brit ish as the rock-bottom minimum on which the zone can meet ex port commitments and keep its basic economy going — steel, transport and public services. Another food cut and even low er coal production, the officers said, might mean a complete collapse or a curtailment of ex ports to France and other coun tries. 'At present coal production permits no production of con sumer goods In the zone except for special categories of persons such as miners. Vets Purchase Most U. S. Surplus Planes 'Alr^consclous veterans are' buying up most of the govern ment’s surplus airplanes, now that they have a high priority. Under an amendment to the Surplus Property Act signed by President Truman last month, veterans were given a priority second only to government agencies. In two sales of arlcraft since then, the War Assets adminis tration says, veterans snapped up most of the desirable planes. Use An Enterprise Wont Ad. FEMALE wire haired Irish ter rier.

ENTERPRISE FRIDAY, JULY 12Д946 Tells South’s Chance to Gain Chapel Hill—A widely-known southern agriculturist said that farm mechanization "offers the South its first opportunity in his tory to bring its per capita farm earnings to something like parity •with farm incomes In other sec >tions of the aation.” But, warned Dean Paul W. Chapman of the College of Ag riculture at the University of Georgia, this same farm mech anization is pro'duBing under employment. “During the next few years,” he said, “the'South must create several ne^ Jobs if all the mem bers of its labor force find em ployment in the region. Any county that does not create its share of these new Jobs will lose population.” Mechanization per se, said the dean, “is being forced upon farm ers by higher wage scales for la bor. This condition is not tem porary. Cheap labor, in terms of standards wihich prevailed on ~Jarmi“ 1n- • -previmts- “ •deca-des—I* gone forever.” He predicted universal use, "within the next five years,” of the mechanical cotton picker, .power chopper, and flame cul tivator. ■ To sustain his contention that mechanization will reduce the number of people living in ev ery county, rural community and small town that does not create additional noniarm Jobs,” Dean Chapman said that "since 1940 many rural communities have álready lost as much as 25 per cent of their population.” "The United States Depart ment of Agriculture,” he con tinued, "estimates that the re duction of farm workers in the South’ before 1956 will be 1,000,- 000 as compared with prewar employment. This figure tells but part of the story. Normal population growth by 1958 will add 1,500,000 workers to the la bor force of the South. And to day very few will remember, but when the census of 1940 was taken, there were 1,800,000 un employed persons in the south ern states. “In all,” said Dean Chapman, “the South must create 4,900,000 more Jobs than were in exist ence when the war started If all Its peiple are to have employ ment In the region 10 years hence." Dean Chapman, speaking be fore the Southeastern Institute of Commercial Organization Ex ecutives here, also pointed out that "needing Jobs to provide full-scale employment in i South Is not new. "The net population loss of the past— greater than any oth er section of the nation — has been 2,530,000. This means that two and onehalf times more people moved out of the South in the past than moved in.” One-Crop Tragedy As a student of the region once described by President Roosevelt as ill-housed, 111-fed and ill-clothed, Dean Chapman said, "this loss was due to the one crop system of farming and the lack of balance between ag riculture and industry.” 'However, said Dean Chapman, “due to diversification of farm ing and the decentralization of industry, the South’s opportu- unity for creating more jobs has never been more favorable.” He pointed out that every state in the South now has “one or more public or oflicial agen cies engaged in industrial de velopment. “By national standards,” the agriculturist observed, “the economy of the South is unbal- anced; it is too predominantly agricultural. The South had 52 per cent of the nation’s farms, but only 19 per cent of its fac tories. “The South has 32 per cent of the total national population, but less than one-third of the nation’s Jobs in any field other than farming. The South needs to establish an economy in which it can maintain 32 per cent of the nation’s Jobs In all these fields. The South has been earning 19 per cent of the na tional Income. It’s goal should be 32 per cent.” In conclusloh, Dean Chapman emphasized, “the per capita earning power of every state In the South Is in direct propor tion to the economic balance It has attained in the distribution of Jobs.” Bobble—Maw, if the baby was to eat some tadpoles would they give him a deep base voice like a frog?

Above is Elmer Beauchamp of route 2 who is harvesting his third cutting of alfalfa which was sown last September 3. On Mr. Beauchamp’s right is Dr. Roy L. Lovvom, agronomist of State college. Driving the tractor while the hay is being loaded is Mr. Beauchamp’s 8-yeaT daughter, Christine. Alfalfa is the standard by which other hays are judged. It is very platable, high in protein and when properly cured contains more vitamins than any other hay. Last year the alfalfa acreage in Davie more than doubled and indications are that between 400 and 500 acres will be sown this fall if the seed can be obtained. The method of seeding recommended by the county agent’s office is as follows: Bog under a heavy growth of legume crops such as lespedeza, cowpeas or soy beans between July 15- August 1. Apply one to two tons of lime per acre, redisc around August 15— 20. Drill in 600— 800 pounds per acre of 2-12-12 fertilier wihich contains five pounds of borax per hdndred pounds. Seed should be mixed with basic slag and drilled in or seeded with cyclone seeder at the rate of 30 pounds per acre. The ideal seeding date is the last week of August or the flrst week of September. The land should be well drained and of at least medium fertility. Any farmer who desires information on alfalfa may get it from the county agent’s office.

PRESIDENT Georgé Rowland SOME PRICES ADVANCE SINCE OPA DIED; MANY ITEMS UNCHANGED Except for a few necesslty- of - living commodities which have suffered nation-wide .price Increases, most goods, foods, and merchandise Items remain the same In Davie County as they were before OPA died JJiine 30, A survey of stores and shops In Mocksvllle recently revealed that retail prices of those Items which went up since OPA’s death such as meats, butter, fats, and milk, remain high. One com modity, butter, went up as much 80c and 90c per pound, while milk went from 17 cents to 20 ccnts and then to 21 cents a quart. Meats remained high, 5% to 157« higher than they were in OPA days. Other commodities, however, have remained virtually the same, except for Ice cream, which has risen 5 cents on the pint In most stores. Ice cream cones are still the same. Most startling rl.se on any one Item of goods appeared to be on one scent of Coty perfume, re tailed through a drug store, wihlch jumped from $9.95 to $15.05, Department stores, hardware, furniture, auto supply and gas oline were unaffected by the action for the most part. Furn iture in some lines had risen 10% beiore OPA controls went off. Whol«Gaie businesses, such as flour mills, reported that their wholesale prices, up sharply after OPA’s death, had dropped al most back to celling price, Noticely was a $67-a-ton rise on protein ingredients, which have since droppeS considerably. Re sult of sharp rises In the milling products prices was that whole salers can now buy more of al most all grains, it was reported. Average comment of mer chants in the Mocksvllle area indicated that they were hoping for more and better commodities of all kinds now that OPA is oft, even If those Items may cost somewhat more In the future than they did before, “At least we can buy what we want and eat what we want, even If It does cost a little more," said one dealer. While most retailers seemed to desire price controls of some sort particularly on rents, a few ex pressed the belief that prices would gradu«illy' adjust them selves to a reasonable level as supply and demand tend to equalize.

MASON Some time ago a friend of mine told me a potato story which is absolutely authentic. He was visiting a friend of his down In the eastern part of the state who has the reputation of ■being one of the best farmers in that section. While he was there, the farmer’s brother from this" sectlon~CHmB ■to'Tlsit ■ him and found him In his potato patch with a mowing scythe cut ting down his potato vines even with the ground. “What In the world are you doing?” he said to the farmer, "Have you gone crazy?” "Crazy?” the farmer said, "You are the one who Is crazy! God rolled this part of the coun_ try out nice and smooth and made real farmers out of us. You guys who live up there In the Piedmont section of North Carolina where God got tired smoothing out the country and just turned you loose In those hills and hollows don’t know anything about farming, espe cially potato raising. Don’t you know If you cut your potato vlhes down even with the gtound. Just about the time your vines bloom, that you will have more and larger potatoes? "I do It every year and have the ttest potatoes In this coun try. Are you so crazy that you don't know that all that strength which goes to make the bloom and vines will go into the ground Instead and you will really have potatoes and larger ones?” "•Well, bud,” his brother said, "I’m not from Missouri. I'm from the Piedmont section of North Carolina, the garden spot of God's globe, but you will have to show me,” This Incident occurred several years ago and every year I have been tempted to try it, but I didn’t have the heart to cut those beauUful vines down. But this year I did. I had seven super de luxe beautiful rows of potatoes across the garden and they were Just about ready to bloom. I stood there gazing at those pretty vines, wondering If there was anything to the story. At last I decided that If there wasn’t anything to it, I would still have six good rows. So Just through courtesy I decided to try it._______________________ I got my mowing scythe and whacked away till they were even with the ground. My potato patch looked llkfe a bobtail cat. That was a shame and it looked awful. I said to myself, If there wasn’t anything to It, I’m going down In Eastern Carolina and look that guy up and tell him that his brother was right—that he Is absolutely nuts. I watched this particular row, and nothing happened except it grew out again almost even with the oth er rows, and the other vines died before this one. The bobtail row stayed green longer. I waited until tl\ey were dead before I dug them up. I plowed out the two rows on either side of the bobtail row and then laid the clipped row open. There they lay and I couldn’t tell the difference, if any. I believe the clipped row had fewer potatoes In It than the rest. So you see there Is nothing to It. I have talked to several of my gardening friends and told then I was going to try It this year. I have had 15 or 20 fel lows ask me to be sure and let them know tlie outcome, so here it Is; Don't mess up your potato patch by trying It. And If I ever see that guy I'm going to tell him that he Is not only crazy but so dumb tliat If all his brains were put into a mustard seed there would still be as much room left In there as a bullfrog would leave in the Atlantic ocean. I dug 16'/a bushels of potatoes out of 90 pounds planted. ROWLAND HEADS MERCHANT GROUP; POOR PHONE SERVICE DISCUSSED George Rowland, local business man, was elccted president of the Mocksvllle Merchants Asso ciation Tuesday at their regular monthly dinner meeting. He re placed former president Oeorge Hendricks, who had resigned the post. Other officers of the associa tion, Secretary-Treasurer D. J. Mando and Vice President E. W. Junker, continued to hold their seats. President Rowland’s flrst ac tion came when he called for dl.scu.sslon on closing of Mocks- vile shops on Masonic Picnic day, August 8. Members voted to close at 10 a. m. oh that date, with a provision that any mer chant who wished could remain open in the afternoon. Stores will be open all day Wednesday. R. B. Sanford suggested that merchants park their cars In the. town parking lot. in the rear of the Davie Bank building. He pointed out that county custo mers frequently are forced to seek inconvenient parking places and parking In the lot would be appreciated considerably. Inconvenient and slow phone ser»lce, especially on long dis tance calls, was discussed and a committee composed of D. C. Rankin, Armand Daniel and Ted Junker was appointed to con sult the district telephone super visor at Elkin in an effort to Improve the condition. > Local businessmen had complained of several hours delay In calls to Charlotte and other main points.

PUBLIC TOLD NOT TO BELITTLE FIRST EFFECT OF BIKINI BUST Washington. — Atomic scien tists and Army Air Force of- flclals are Immediately warning us not to belittle the atomic bomb—or Its effect against war ships—simply because only two transports and one destroyer were .sunk outright at Bikini. They point out that ships may remain afloat but their person nel (animals In the Bikini test) may be overcome by the heat and blast, or several weeks later fall victim to absorbed radio activity, as did many Japanese at Hiroshima. They point out that test No, 1, the sky burst, was not ex pected to be as effective as test No. 2, six weeks hence, when a bomb will be exploded slightly under the surface of Bikini la goon. The second experiment may sink more vessels. Conditions Deceptive They point out that a .ship may survive but become almost a floating derelict, seething with radioactivity, its turret fused by the Intense heat or its delicate Instruments wrecked, if contact with the atomic bomb is close enough. The fact the bomb was exploded In the air greatly re duced the amount of lingering radioactivity In the water or on the ships. Most Important ot all, they point out that the atomic bomb. If used at all in war, will be hurled primarily at crowded cities and not at scattered war ships at sea. The United States Strategic Bombing survey esti mated that 70,000 to 80,000 ci vilian fatalities were sustained at Hiroshima, by a bomb.con- ★RUN DOWN c e e W d is c o u r a q ed ★ POOR APPETITE Don't have that •nutritional fatlRiie from simply needing V-T.

The ■ fact that minnows are seen swimming In the Bikini la goon, or that animals are ob served alive aboard warships, proves little, members ot the Federation ' of American Scien tists say. Most of the radio activity went up with the great mushrooming cloud. Had the burst been at the ocean surface, or below It, radioactivity would have been concentrated at a more effective level. Marine life would have-been more serious ly affected, and so would the live animals aboard ship. It had been expected that an aircraft carrier near the center of the target area — the Inde pendence—would suffer major damage, and that other ships would take fire. Such fires might quickly be extinguished if crews were aboard ships when so at tacked. The $64 question would be, however: would the crew survive the attack and be able to flght fires? When the findings of the Bi kini experiments have been tab ulated from the myriad Instru mentation, and conclusions as to meaning reached, then only will It be possible to determine whether ship structure can be so redesigned as to protect crews from an atomic blast. Air Force officers have little complaint about the fairness of Test No. 1. They simply warn against premature conclusions that atomic bombs are not es pecially effective against war ships, that the Navy still reigns as the nation's “first line of de fense." The Navy will not pro tect against an atomic bomb carried through the substrato sphere by a long-range bomber, or hurtling through the iono sphere as the warhead of a giant rocket, they observe. Cost of Warfare One atomic bomb is many times loss expensive than a bat tleship, Dr. Lee A. Dubridge de clared recently. If a properly placed bomb can put a battle_ ship or carrier out of action— no matter how much thicker Its beams or plates are fashioned, and It is essential that such ships be put out of action, one bomb will not be a prohibitive price to pay. The test Ignores the basic question of wh£^t the strategic mission of the fleet will be In future warfare, or whether the fleet is worth destroying by FARM QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED Question; What should I do about my diseased tobacco fields? Answer; Nothing can be done to save this year's crop, but now Is the time to think about next year. By all means have your farm agent, agricultural teach er, or some other person of au thority make a definite diag nosis while the tobacco Is still growing, or send diseased spec imens to the Plant Disease Lab oratory at State college. After you know what the disease Is, follow experiment station rec ommendations. The teacher or agent will know these, Question: Should I sell my livestock In view of the critical feed outlook? Answer; All Indications are that livestock and their prod ucts will bring very good prices for sometime. Even with high prices. ...farmer^....can’t...make....ii. profit unless they'grow most^of their own feed. Extension spe cialists say keep your animals. It you can furnish the bulk of their feed from pasture and home grown grains, but don’t try to feed them entirely on scarce high cost commercial feeds. S ig n o f th e T im e s Question: What summer crops are good for poultry graz ing? Answer: July, August and Sep tember are the most difficult months for grazing crops due to the dry weather usually experi enced then. Alfalfa is by far the best crop to use If possible, Ladlno clover Is very good, and a mixture of orchard grass, white clover, .and Kentucky blue grass or alslke .clover gives fair re sults, Bermuda grass and Dallls grass provide a good sod In per manent pastures, but are not recommended where other plants will grow. Cowpeas or soybeans may be used if ODher pasture is not available. At least one acre of pasture should be provided for each 100 birds.

The question 1^* whether, with the advent of the atomic bomb, they can longer be major instruments of offen sive warfare, or will be relegated to the job of convoying and pro tecting water-borne supplies for distant bases.

State Callege A great deal of bread Is wast ed • tiecanse“monris-bauglvftha:v is needed and the drled-out loaves or remnants of loaves are not eaten after a fresh supply is purchased. Try to delay buy ing your bread until your sup ply on hand is nearly exhausted. Keeping bread fresh gives ex tra assurance that It will all be eaten. Wherever you store the loaf, well-wrapped In moisture- proof paper, it will keep better if placed in a well-ventilated washable box in the refrigera tor, which, by the way. Is an ex cellent storage place for bread, as the cold temperature delays staleness and mold. Heaping up too much sliced bread on the dinner table Is often a sure way of consigning a few extra slices to a dry fate. The best way to prevent this Is to slice the bread at the table as it is needed. Halving slices may even further lessen the waste. Of course, some bread is bound to get dry. When It does, it has by no means e^ded its usefulness. Here are some ways to take care of that dry bread and to have it used to bhe last crumb. Dry bread makes crisp toast, and besides plain toast, don’t overlook such kinds as French, cinnamon, hotmllk, cheese, jel ly and thin Melba toast that smart restaurants often serve In place of soft bread. Use dry bread In substantial desserts, such as bread and cus tard puddings, and bake fruit scallops made of slices of “lin gers” of bread combined with canned or fresh fruit. Negro Women Grow Unusual Vegetables There Is a real need for plant ing uncommon vegetables in the family garden to add variety to the diet and hold down bhe high cost of living, says Miss Mary E. Thomas, extension nutrition ist at State college. Outstanding examples have been reported from negro club women in Pitt county. Mrs. Lena Hatten, Route 2, Greenville, has 16 vegetables growing In her garden this year. Including cauliflower, eggplant and celery. Her cauliflower heads measure from 5'/g to 6 Inches In diameter and provide a new dish relished by her family. Miss Tiiomas says. Mrs. Mattie Dixon of Grlfton grew Chinese cabbage for the first time last year and enjoyed new dishes from this vegetable throughout bhe winter months. She plans to plant a late crop this fall. Beoipes for pIreparUig tasty dishes from such uncommon vegetables may be obtained from home agents of the State college extension service. Vet Housing Plan Insures Market Sale Washington. — The National Housing agency unveiled Its guaranteed market plan—a pro gram designed to step up vet erans"'hdUsin^.....Cbnstructlon through Increased production of new type building materials and prefabricated homes. Authorized by Congress in the veterans emergency housing act, the plan provides for the gov ernment to underwrite produc ers against loss in marketing their products. ^ ■ It Is the second part of a pro gram to build 2,700,000 new dwellings by 1948. The flrst stfep allows premium payments on materials production under a $400,000,000 subsidies fund. Declaring that a new enter prise normally “proceeds slow ly,” Housing Expediter Wilson W. Wyatt asserted that “the need for homes for veterans Is so urg_ ent that bhe production of new materials and new types of con struction cannot wajt.” He said NHA is ready to receive requests for guaranteed market con tracts. > Market Assured The guaranteed market plan will allow a new producer to “swing Into full production at the outset, assured of a market for all he produces,” Mr. Wyatt said. The underwriting, he added, will be accomplished through a contract beitween the producer and the Reconstruction Finance corporation. It works this way: The government will agree to purchase at a price flxed In the contract any units of new ma terials or prefabricated houses which the producer is unable to sell through his own distribu tion channels. However, Mr. Wyatt pointed out, the act prevents the gov ernment from underwriting more than 200,000 housing units at any one time. It also pro vides that the goverranent may not pay more bhan 90 per cent of a "producer’s delivery price." . Two Obstacles Eased Mr. Wyatt declared the guar- anteed market plan will "large ly solve” whait he said are the two main deterring ' factors In bringing Into large-scale pro duction new types of building materials a n d construction methods. These factors, he said, are fear oi loss In embarking on new ventures and the flnanclal dlf- flcultles encountered by new, small enterprises. Provisions of the act plus NHA safeguards, Mr. Wyatt asserted, "will keep out Inferior products and fly-by-nlght producers” and at the same time make "reliable producers of acceptable products eligible to qualify for govern ment assistance.” Birds have a pulse rate nearly double the human rate; have body temperature five to 14 de grees above man’s.

POOR PSYCHOLOGY We are not sufficiently acquainted with all the facts jn Mr. Eric Johnson’s resignation to comment upon it, but we suspect that Mr. Johnson shares our own feelings in the matter of some psychological approaches. Mr. Johnson, If quoted correctly, made a number of statements which had a ring of common sense. The tactics employed by many big business concerns seem to us to violate the simplest psychologicanaws. a^ in more harm to them than to labor. In fact, if we liappened to ise a Communist, which most decidedly we are not, we would feel like paying the gentleman a salary. Unless big busi ness and the NAM can succeed in voluntarily preventing Inflation by keeping prices down they will have set in motion something which will in time be their ruin. There are no longer any tricks which any group can pull against the other. The majority of people are becoming more widely informed, and capable of seeking their own facts upon which to base Judgment. OPA has been on trial for sometime. Now, Free Enterprise is really on trial. Frank, open, straightforward action is the only method by which Free Enterprise can save itself now. We trust, and be lieve, that the good sense of American business men will, even at sacrifice, demonstrate that Free Enterprise' ca-n work. Sacrifice of profits now would be the best guarantee of fair profits in the future. CONDOLENCE IN ORDER Our sympathy to the good people of Mississippi. There were some who refused to follow the rabble rouser, whose stock in trade is racial prejudice. What the Negroes were asking for in Mississippi is what they have enjoyed in North Carolina for many years— and as yet the skies are not fallen in Carolina. In fact, relationships between the two races in this state are based on mutual helpfulness and justice. The white leadership here is doing everything possible to help the Negro to work out his own social sal vation. .l( : .. . !■ '■> ~ 'Jf Bilbo won the election, but he fought against a force as Irresistible as the tides. Mississippi is a small part of the United States, and a very small part of a world which is now thinking in terms oi’ One World; a world in which racial prejudice is dying. We very much suspect that if Mr. Bilbo’s issues were drawn out into a world arena that he would find the supremacy elsewhere. The only hope' for this world is good-will between races, nations, and peoples. It is a strange thing that the underprivileged white people of the world have never understood that.the same principle which keeps people of one color down also op^ erates to keep people of certain classes down. The people who elect Bilbos should not be surprised if la*ter they reap whirlwind harvests. Mississippi should go into mourn- . ing. What a laugh the Nazis must be having at the ex pense of tlie U.S.A.! VETS URGED TO. SEEK JOBS Raleigh Readjustment al lowances, even though a flne stop-gap, are a poor substitute for a job, Chairman Henry E. Kendall, of the State Unemploy ment Compensation commission, warns unemployed veterans. An unemployed veteran, after he has sought work through his local employment service office, is often his own best employ^ ment agent. Chairman Kendall said, urging those claiming re adjustment allowances for un employment to engage in a dili gent search for jobs. Many unemployed veterans are not waiting for jpbs, but are starting out on their owri^by setting up some kind of small Industry, business or service which they or a small group can handle, and thus create jobs, not only for themselves, but also tor small numbers of their bud dies. Veterans who have developed new skills while In military service, or who had been at work for others before entering the service, often can convince friends in. their own communi_ ties that they are equal to han dling a small activity and thus receive financial aid in securing needed equipment, supplies or tools for launching their own careers. Very many of the thousands of jobs which were open a year ago have been filled by workers, released from the service and now veterans do not have the choice of employment which w’as available to them then. Chairman Kendall points out. “The veteran who unneces sarily delays his own readjust ment to civilian occupation, does hlm’seiti an Injustice, 'since - by suclr'^elay he may allow«a job to be filled or a smafl Industry to be started Into which he could have fitted himself,” said Chairman Kendall. "More workers are becoming available for the jobs that are open now and there is little, prospect that jobs will be much QUESTION EX-PREMIER AT JAP WAR CRIME TRIALS FORMER JAPANESE PREMIER and Navy Minister In the Tanaka Cabinet of 1920, Kelsuke Okada, takes the stand at the International War Crimes Trials In Tokyo. He was questioned at length by the prosecution concerning the parrt he played In events leading to Japan’s sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. more plentiful In the near fu ture than they are. Readjust, ment allowances are only tem porary and unless the veteran conserves them, they may be gone when he most needs them. “Famines, friends and home communities can render inval uable service to the great group of young veterans who have had no previous civilian occupations or experience In job hunting. Home folks who are experienced in various types of employment oan help thousands of these young veterans, either In help ing them to find jobs that al ready exist or In advising and aiding them In developing Jobs through starting some small activity which may grow Into a community, a state or a nation al asset,” said Chairman Ken- daii; ...........................................

Effect of Nitrogen On Pasture Mixtures Pastures are the ■ cheapest source of llvestbck feed, and in this period of scarce feed must provide a large portion of the animals’ dally food requirements. In view of this situation inter esting experiments have been made to determine fertilization practices for pastures, especial ly with nitrogen, by the agron omy department of State col lege. To get the most good grazing possible from a pasture it must be treated as a crop. Plenty of lime, phosphate and potash should be applied to provide a high level of fertility. What about nitrogen? D. S. Chamblee, R. L. Lovvem, and W . W. Wood- house, agronomy specialists, an. •wer this question by giving the Ksults from numerous experi ments which they have con ducted. Nitrogen applications are very effective In Increasing early epring grazing and In the estab lishment of grasses in the sod, but in many cases grasses In- creaed at thé expense of the legume In the mixture. Lespe deza was especially depressed by added nitrogen. The use of nitrogen as a rule Is not very effective In increas ing the total yield or protein content of grass-legume sods. The main cffect is on time of growth rather than amount of growth. ELBAVILLE Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Dunn spent their vacation at Virginia Beach.

Swine Disease -- - Cure Is Given Raleigh. — North Carolina farmers whose hogs are the vic tims of ascardis, Internal para sites of swine, were advised by Dr. William Moore, State agrl- tulture department veterinarian, to employ sodium fluoride In the treatment of this disease. “Although sodium fluoride is poison to household Insects, it is entirely safe for .pigs and eliminates about 95 per cent of the parasites compared with the 50 to 75 per cent effectiveness of other known drugs,” said Dr. Moore. He recommended that pigs affected by ascardis be fed for one day on dry ground iced con taining one per cent of sodium fluoride by weight. The black rail is the tiniest of the rail bird species.

Simultaneously, Coletrane an nounced that feed tonnage con sumed In the state during the recently ended fiscal year to taled 839,443 tons, or an Increase of 2,578 tons over the previous year. Coltrane said that he thought "it rather remarkable that we managed to get as much feed as we did In the state during the past year In view of the acute shortage of feed Ingredients. “Although figures for the fis cal year show a slight Increase In the over-all feed picture, the consumption of feed tonnage In this state now is showing a marked decrease. In May, 1945, feed tonnage consumed totaled 57,282, and In June, 1945, It to taled 79,728, This, in contrast to the 57,409 tons consumed In May, 1946, and the 57,318 con sumed last month.” According to law, Lansing, Mich., must take a census of bees every winter. •Ш Ш You*ve been asking for them, now we have them . . . men’s fine gripper M UNSINGW EAR SHORTS $1.05 wide and narrow striped cottons and oxford weaves lUPRiMI ^010 WAVE .

The bright side of the picture shows higher prices for farm products, while the dark portion of the picture Indicates a rising cost of living, and a continued scarcity of feed and labor. Many signs point to a real break through In the price lev el, which has already advanced greatly. Farm labor will con tinue to be Inadequate to meet all needs now, and will also be high. Equipment and transportation . facilities .wHi improve some., but. farm machinery will be high in cost. Most repair parts will soon be available. The price situation for most crops appears very good. The average yield of tobacco Is smaller, but acreage is up nine percent. The price should hold up to 1945 levels. Cotton acreage is at a low average and the price is rising. Peanuts should bring at least 1945 prices. The sup port price will be near 7.7 cents a pound. In the livestock field every thing Is higher. Poultry has gone up and eggs will hold high prices during the fall and winter. All dairy products continue to rise in price. Dairy cows are declin ing In numbers, and are selling at an all time high. The number of beof cattle and hogs will be smaller by next spring, Indicat ing Increasingly higher prices. While livestock prices are go ing up, the feed Is becoming hai'der to find. Commercially mixed feed will be reduced 20 percent by government order. The farmer must depend on pas ture, home grown feed and farm by-products to help ease the feed shortage and the high cost of mixed feeds.

Holland traced the disintegra tion of former empires because of the lack of spiritual qualities, citing the lost tribes of Israel, the Roman empire and Prance. Declaring that the southland was the most evangelized sec tion of the world, the Rev. Mr. Holland deplored the decrease in church membership in the last decade. He cited the in crease in income of the Amerl. can people, accompanied by more divorces, higher sales of theatre tickets, more drinking, and a smaller increase In church benevolences. ■ . Rev.

But he’s just as "head-over-heels” in love with all of the 99 Diesel locomotives put into service on the Southern Railway System in recent years. Modem, efficient motive power is only one of the .ways the Southern has geared itself to give the South continually better transportation service. Prom 1940 through 1945, we spent more than 62 million dollars to make extensive improvements in our plant and faciUtie«...«nd to buy Diesel locomotives, six streamlined passenger trains, 1,521 track miles of rail, and 8,752 freight cars. And that’s only the beginning. This year, we have on order 3,000 freight cars, 211 track miles of rail, and 39 more Diesels...including twenty-five 6000-horsepbwer freight locomotives. And we’re going to order scores of new streamlined passenger cars. This costly modernization and improvement program is tangible evidence of our abiding faith in the future of the South. To us, it’s a future so bright that even Bob’s greeting of “Hello, Beautiful” doesn’t begin to express our en thusiasm for what’s ahead. .

DAVIE FARMERS TELL ROTARIANS WAYS TO HELP RURAL FRIENDS It was "farm day” at the Tuesday meeting of the Mocks vllle Rotary club. Robert Sea ford, well known poultryman, told how to raiae chickens and George Evans, widely known farmer and dairyman, told members of the club how they could help farmers of Davle county and the same time help themselves. Mr. Evans suggested the for mation of an agricultural com mittee within the club which would make plans for giving prizes to Davle county boys and girls for various projects. He also suggested that an educa tion committee be named to ■work with the county school su perintendent’s office In promot ing better education. Lack of education was deemed by the speaker to be the main handi cap of farmers In the county. Mr. Evans favors the establish ment of a central high school in Mlocksvllle where adequate equipment could be Installed for courses in agrlouture, home ce- onomlcs and business. He advo. cated schools In each township for the lower grades. Mr. Evans asserted that the personal touch with farmers by members of the club would do much to draw them to Mocks vllle • when In need. He cited some Instances where It had proven successful. Recommendations made by Mr. Evans for Rotary prizes cov ered a wide scope of farming activities. He mentioned pure bred calves, pigs, chickens for the boys and girls ■ and such things as permanent pastures, test field of barley, best legume I. crops for the older farmers. Ex tension oi bank credit when needed, plenty of farm maohln. ery parts so that the farmer would not lose time In this era when he must depend on ma chinery to harvest his products were other suggestions made by the speaker. In telling how to grow chick ens successfully Mr. Seaford said several principals included a house which would accommodate one chick for each half square foot, a good brooder, adequate ventilation, plenty of fresh wa ter, good chicks, good feed and range shelters. For layers Mr. Seaford recom mends leghorns, for broilers such breeds as reds and rocks. For a good all-around chicken he fa vors New Hampshire reds. Feed was high, scarce and of poor quality at present, Mr. Seaford said, but he recommends the best feed when available because of the higher egg production. Knox Johnstone was In charge of the program and presented the two speakers. Guests Included Lt. J. K. Sheek, Jr„ Bob Suber of Raleigh and Dr. Bill Long. President Bill Pennington presided and gave a report on a district Rotary meeting he and Secetary Jeff Caudell attended last week in Greensboro where fellowship and attendance were among the topics oi discussion. Robert Seaford told a joke which Is considered worthy of the record. Some deacons were hearing a trial sermon made by a visiting colored pastor. After the sermon they retired to de cide whether or not to call the preacher. The decision was In the negative and the report stated the reasons were two; he had no delivery and nothing to deliver.

DAVIE SOFT DRINK DEALERS ARE ASKED TO HELP MASONIC PICNIC Manufactures of soft drinks in Winston-Salem cannot furnish drinks for the Masonic picnic on Aug. 8 unless the stores and other public places in Davie county which handle soft drinks will give the Winston folks the right to deliver each dealer’s quota for that week to” the picnic’ ref committee. Davie handlers of soft drinks who are willing to. have their allowance for the week beginning Aug.5 turned over to the Masonic picnic are asked to notify the truck driver for each company next Monday, July 29, when he makes the delivery for that week. The drivers will then make their deliveries on Aug. 5. directly to the refreshment committee of the picnic. This appeal is being made to the soft drinks hand lers in the county by the picnic refreshment committee. Sale of soft drinks on picnic day normally constitutes a sizeable amount of money towards the fund which is given the Oxford Orphanage--and it is hoped that all of the dealers will divert their supply for the week of Aug. 5 for the picnic cause.

There are several kinds of the so called bean beetles that eat the leaves and pods of both snap and lima beans If no control measures are taken the bean plant Is soon ruined.

Am I entitled to sell my pro duce In town without a city license? A. Nearly every city has an ordi nance prohibiting peddling iarm produce within the city limits. These are to protect merchants against peddlers who buy and sell produce for profit. Farmers who grow their own .produce can avoid paying the license fee If they will carry a permit signed by the county agent and stating that they grew the things ofTered for sale. Some cities have requlr- ments that 'farmers register and get a city permit, but this Is a very small charge and In many cases no fee at all.

Health Oflicer Polio Report A progress report on the cur rent status of the state polio myelitis quarantine program is as follows: >. There has been no change in t)he State regulation since June 12. The regulation adopted on that date Is still In effect. Chil dren entering North Carolina from epidemic areas must be quarantined for a period of two weeks. There have been no additions to the quarantine areas. The state of Florida, Bexar county, Texas, and Lauderdale County, Alabama, still constitute the quarantine area. Florida has had 336 cases of poliomyelitis for the year as of July 16. The weekly totals for that state have varied between approximately 25 and 30 new cases. Of Florida’s 87 counties, 40 have now reported cases since January 1. The southern part of that stdte remains the most heavily involved section. Q. What are the spots appear ing on my young apples? A. These spots may be bitter rot. Howard Garriss, Extension path ologist at State College, says that you should have begun a spray program early in the sea son to control this disease. He suggests thal you use the spray program outlined in Extension Folder No.02 In the handling of your home fruits. Only four materials need to be bought.

McCLELLAN Thomas Nance, near Cornat zer, has approved a farm plan for soil conservation work with the assistance of the Middle Yadkin district. Mr. Nance has done considerable terracing, he is hoping, to sow some improved pasture mixtures and seed some alfalfa when he can get around to It. B, T. Browder, near Blxby, has been rather successful with tem porary grazing crops. He finds It a profitable practice and plans to keep sowing his graz ing mixture. Mr. Browder is well pleased with his alfalfa he seed ed last fall and is hoping to sow around ten acres this year._ Cecil lieagans, near Cana, is pleased with the ladino clover and grass mixture he seeded last spring. He is planning to seed around four more acres this fall. He Is also highly pleased with hs terracing work he has done in the past year. Bill Green, 3 miles west of Mocksville, has his flsh pond un der construction. He hopes to haxe his pond ready to flll by fall. C. W. Beck, near Jerusalem church, has done a good Job of reclaiming and improving a hilly eroded farm he bought two years ago. 'He recently com pleted terracing all of ,the cul tivated fields. Mr. Beck ieels that terracing is a basic foun dation for other improvement work. The land will do for you just as much as you do for it. IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE Feed Dairy Cows On Basis Of Production High milk production records are possible only when there Is a real partnership existing be tween the farmer and his dairy herd. These records are a joint result of the cow’s own ability to produce and the feed and conditions she is subjected to. First we must begin with a good cow: One which has the ability to produce, enough milk and butterfat to more than pay for the feed she consumes. Select the cow that is free from dis ease; at least average size for her breed; has well-sprung fore ribs and a large body that Indi cates plenty of capacity; a re fined, clean-cut head and neck; straight back; and a fairjy large udder that is evenly hung with large milk veins, A cow of this type will nearly always be a good producer. This is only half the partner ship, however. The farmer Is the other half and must provide the good conditions that enable the cow to do her best. Some dairymen make the mis take of feeding all cows in the herd the same amount of grain mixture. 'This practice under feeds the high producer and re duces milk flow. It over-feeds the low producers and, since they can’t turn the extra feed into milk, they turn it into fat or waste It. Give the best cows the best l6ed; at least a pound of grain for each three to flve pounds of milk produced, says John Arey, in charge of Exten sion Dairying at State Colege. — Erovide-good-clean stalls with CONGRESSMEN TRY ОЪТ SEATS IN JAP MET penty.of fresh water and clean bedding.

And that’s only the beginning. This year, we have on order 3,000 freight cars, 211 track miles of rail, and 39 more Diesels...including twenty>five 6000-horsepower freight locomotives.

Entered at the Post Office at Mocksville, N. C., as Second- Class Matter Under Act of Congress of March 8, 1879. I, JOHNNY WARD Johnny Ward was one of the most promising of the young farmers of Davie county. Tutored by his father who has one of the most highly mechanized farms in the county, he was well on his way towards economic independence and the satisfaction which comes with living close to the soil. Too many boys have left the farm for what they think is a better opportunity in town. In our opinion it is a delu sion— as many will And out probably too late when hard times come. i ; . ¿ i •With modern conveniencies and mechanized farm equipment such as are available today, we think the farm offers an excellent opportunity for a young man who will practice intelligent methods such as Johnny Ward was following. An opportunity to be one’s boss, own some good dirt which is one of the most valuable of material possess ions, enjoy the sweetness of life which the Lord placed in the country and not in town. The shortage of farm labor apparently is here to stay for some time and the farmer can only overcome this handicap by using modern farm machinery. Johnny and his father had the equipment and knew how to use it to make it pay. His almost sudden death came as a tragic shock to the many who knew him; Everybody knew he was making his mark as a "good farmer”— a title which is hard to win and greatly to be desired. SPAWNING WATERS ' In certain quarters tliere are loud protestations against Communism, but little information as to what produced Communism. If we wish to prevent Communism in America we must study what produced it in Russia, and see to it that such conditions do not prevail here. One word ■will express it, though that one word includes much— Tsarism. The old group which held the Cossack whips over thè masses, and constantly banned people to Siberia; the party which held control, both in Church and state, and permitted nothing of what we know as Democracy. It was Totalitarian government lodged in Tsarism. We never heard anybody in this country the advocat ing a war with Russia to rid it of Tsarism. Communism in Russia, as far as we are able to see it at all, is just another form of Totalitarian government. It is not what we Americans want, and we should endeavor to so make Democracy work that it cannot come to America. But we do have a propaganda against Russian Com munism which is doing everything possible to have a war with Russia, and destroy Communism. Whether or not the newspapers of America know what they are doing we do not know, but we do know that they are serving the pur poses of those who wish to destroy Communism. Cardinal Spellman, as spokesman for the Vàtlcan has uttered many things in recent months to make it clear where The Roman Catholic Church stands In Its attitude towards Commun ism. There are certain Interests In the United States which will support the position of the Roman Catholic Church because they fear loss of their prestige and power. Anyone reading the dally papers can see between the lines that the Vltlcan Is seeking to enlist America In this war against Communism. The way to avoid that war is clear. Let Communism be Russia’s problem. Let us InAmerica guard against Its coming here by all lawful means, and especially by making Democracy and our social system work, The mass of people in America, even under the capitalistic system, are better off than the workers in any country in the world. We do not want to (Jiscard our system; we MUST make it work. So far, nothing has topped it. Never has capitalism had the oppor tunity to save itself as it has at the moment— by seeing to it that it distributes opportunities for improvement to every American. By losing itself now, it will save Itself later. A war with Russia will be silly, and it will be disas trous. Let Russia worry with Communism; let us proceed with building Democracy In America. THE PRICE OF LEADERSHIP The Charlote Observer laments the lack of leadership in political life today, and there is much reason for lamen tation. Yet it must be remembered that leadership Is a costly thing, and that when a man stands out for the truth F5A LOAN MADE TO. MASON FAMILY since 1942 Ernest Mason, his wife, Mary, and family have been participating In the Farm Security program. The linanclal assistance he has received through this agency In former years has been for the purpose of farm and home operations— such as buying farm machinery, livestock, a pressure cooker and taking health Insurance for the family. This had helped Er nest get a good start and so he became even more ambitious. On December 3, 1945, he made application to purchase the farm that he was living on at that time. The farm was owned by Mr. and Mrs. O F. Koontz. The Davie County PSA commit tee reviewed Ernest’s application and approved him eligible for a farm ownership loan. They also approved the farm that he want ed to buy and soon afterwards an option was taken. The other necessary steps were taken in order, and on July 10, 1946, the loan was closed. The colored family now has the farm and besides enough extra money set up In the loan to Improve the farm and home to meet the standard requirements of the Farm Security Administration. These Improvements will Include repairing and painting the house, making bullt-ln cabinets In the kitchen, screening, build ing a sanitary toilet, building a chicken house and tobacco barn, a sanitary water supply, etc. You too may be able to pur chase a farm of your own.

Toda/s Pattern many of those whom he would help most will turn against him. It is not truth and rlghteouness that the mass of people are seeking, but “I want mine.” The cross fires of group and sectional selfishness and prejudice have caught Congress, and It Is not to be wondered at that they dodge a few bullets. We have had some great leaders and see what was done to them. F. D. R. was a great leader, and there are few men who are willing to take what he had to enduse. The man who leads America out of its present chaos will have to pay a great price, anh only a very great man can endure the price. Sometimes the people crucify their Saviours.

Homemade Rugs Can Brighten Up Homes Braided and hooked ruga, made at home from materials that have already seen .service, can be used to brighten rural homes. They add comfort, at tractiveness, and color to a room, and may be made at small, cost. Ruby Scholz, Extension econ omist in food conservation and marketing at State College, says that one of the most important factors in making these rugs is color arrangement. She suggests that plans be made for a scheme which is pleasing to the eye and har monious to the room, which the rug is to serve. The largest areas —such as backgrounds and bor ders—should harmonize with the general tones of the room in which the rug is to be used. Consideration should also be given to such other furnishings as draperies, upholstery, and pictures. As a general rule, at least two- thirds of the rags for the rug should 'be neutral or rather dark in colbr, says Miss Scholz. Tans, browns, grays, and dull blues ordinary make the most suit able backgrounds. For example, one-fourth of the cloth for the background may b 9 dyed a medium brown, one- fourth light tan, and one-half golden brown. In a rug of the vatious tones of brown, the addition of touches of orange, crimson, or bright green gives life or accent to the color scheme. Pattern 9080 comes In sizes 2, , 4, 5 and 0.

Brian Robertson, deputy military governor for the British zone, was expected to fly to London today to consult his government on the merger plan. McNarney said the proposal was simply economic and has no political Implications. McNarney declined to specu late on what effect an economic merger In tlie west and the es tablishment of two Germanles would have on the four-power administrative set-up In Berlin. He said he could see no reason at present why tflie Western powers should withdraw from the central administration If they could agree on an economic merger among themselves. Would Free Materials The agreement, he continued, would "effect a free Interchange of raw materials." He added that German businessmen could trade more freely and more steel would be available for the American zone and hence more articles for export. "It is hoped eventually there will be enough exports to pay for Imports needed to Increase the standards of living- and so finally ease the load on the American taxpayer," McNarney said. ‘‘Once the economic mer ger Is effected, the cost of oc cupation will progressively be reduced.” Come Off?

Small Grain Yeald Can Be Increased Fifteen years of practical re cords at the Piedmont Branch Experiment Station at States ville show that the most Impor tant factors In small grain pro duction are (1) the preparation of a good seed bed; (2) the use of treated seed of high germ ination; (3) seeding the crop at the proper time; and (4) top- dressing on time. More than nine hundred acres of small grains were Involved In these tests. The average yields over the fifteen years were as follows: wheat, 31 bushels, barley 35 bushels: and oats, 63 bushels. The seed bed should be pulver ized, but yet be smooth and firmed by disking and dragging just preceedlng seeding. A full list of recommended varieties for the sections of the state may be obtained at tIhe office of the county agent. As to seedlng,drlll 5 pecks of wheat, and 2 bushels of oats or barley. If It is necessary to broadcast the crop,, lncren.se ihe seeding by one-half. The Hessian fly free date sSiould be observed in seeding wheat. For oats and barley,seed October 1 to 25 In the Piedmont; September 20 to October 10 In the Mountains: and October 10 to 30 In the Coastal Plain. These dates of seeding bring much larger yields than when the crops are seeded later. Maximum benefit is obtained from nitrogen topdresslngs when they are applied in time to In crease the amount of stoollng and the number of seed heads. The number of seed heads are already determined by the level of nitnogen ifertlllzation in Feburary and March. About three (hundred pounds of fertilizer per acre Should be used when the crops are sown. People, Spots In The News The revival jneetlng will be gin at the church Sunday eve ning at 8 o’clock.

State Collego Canning Is not difficult If the rules are ifollow/ed. Foods for canning are divided Into two groups. One group of foods contains acids. The acid foods are fruits, tomatoes, pickled beets, ripe plmlentos, and rhubard. These foods can be processed In the boiling water bath at the boil ing temperature of water—212 degrees F. The other group of foods, non- acid we call,them, do not have acid in them and must be pro cessed In a steam pressure cann- er at temperatures of 240 to 250 degrees F. These temperatures are obtained when the pressure gauge registers 10 pounds (240 degrees F.) of pressure or 15 pounds (250 degrees F.) of pres sure. The foods In this group in clude all vegetotoles except toma toes; such vegetables as aspar- gus, beets, peas, beans, corn okra, and greens. Meats, poultry, and fish also come in this gi’o'up. Use kitchen scissors to save time. Cut parsley, celery, plmln- to, and string beans with tliem. Or dice chicken, .dates, and marshmellows. (Use wet scissors for sticky foods). When your daughter has all the dishes she gets the idea tiiat housework is all dish-washing, and therefore “hates" it. Let her draw from slips of paper on which you have written tasks of the day. By this method, slie does not always have the same duties, and the game adds zest to the humdrum jobs.
