C., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5,1947 “AM The County News For Everybody”No. 41 Schools Work Out $800v000 Plan ROTARY CLUB HAS FARMER'S NIGHT; JETER CITES SOIL-TILLERS’ EFFORTS Citing the vigor, determination, untiring efforts, and plain hard work which has made towns like Mocksville, Rocky Mount, Mount Airy, Wilson, and a hundred others in the state come directly from the soil, Frank H. Jeter, director/ of publications at State College, last Tuesday night ad­ dressed the Rotary club at the first of a proposed series of “Far- mer’f Nights." “1 am delighted to see the men of the country and the men of the town meeting together on com­ mon ground with mutual respect for one another,” the speaker said, “for frequently such an ideal sit­ uation is not the case.” “The farmer must know how to work hud, from dawn to far be­ yond dark, day after day, how to sow his grain, harvest his crops, feed his stock, get the best from his land, and in addition to that he usually raises a family. For those tasks he deserves a posit­ ion in the community—and the nation—as high In prestige as any man of any calling—doctors, law­ yers, writers, businessmen, bank­ ers, and any other. Mr. Jetei' pointed out the “de­ plorable condition" which ex­ ists when 70 percent of the land ill North Carolina is not even utilized to feed the hungry world. "Of course. North Carolina is tops in conservation of soil, ad­ vances in hybrids, use of phos­ phates, expert breeding of dairy cattle, of all the states in the south, but actually most of the production of our state comes merely 30 percent of the soil we have'at our disposal. What a mark we could make if we used _thflt .>ther_.7Q_Beteent to really producel” Rev. H. C. Sprinkle welcomed the guests and Rotarians, and made the first of several state­ ments to the effect that “the far­ mer is the backbone of the coun­ try—of the community—and if he fails in his job, everything else fails, too." President Dave Rankin intro­ duced George Hobson, former Davie farm agent, who had fore­ gone a trip to Chicago with all expenses paid to be with the group Tuesday. The former agent in turn introduced the speaker of the evening. < — •Davitf-farmcrs-proaent-as guestfr of Rotarians were: L. J. Luper, Wade Groce, J. G. Crawford, Luther Walker, J. B. Cain, Duke Pope, George Corn- ntzer, Charlie Beck',' C. S. Grant, Breed Dairy ' Cows Soon There is usually a dofinito pvo- mium on milk produced fi’om September 1 throughout the win­ ter, states F. E. Peebles, county agent. Tho best way to take ad­ vantage of this higher price when milk is moro scarce is to breed dairy cows at the proper time for them to freshen about the beginning of tlie usual "low production high price” season, Cows bred now or as soon as possible will greatly help solve this shortage of milk and increase the size ^ of the producers’ pay checks." Glen Roberts, George Evans, Glenn Cartner, Clyde Hutchins, J. H. Eidson, Ray Cornatzer, Alex Tucker, Carl Tatum, S, H. Chaff- ^in, Arthur Baker, Elmer Beau­ champ, A. D, Richie,.

Smoot, Tom Browder, Clyde Boger, Kerr Clement, Cecil Lea­ gans, and Knox Johnstone, char­ ter member of the club, who was described as “not exactly a farm­ er, but has a slight connection with the bank." Miss Lettie Jean Foster, accom­ panied by Mrs. Margaret Waters, gave a program of songs. Guests were H. J. Williams, soil conservationist, and new county agent F. E. Peebles, and George Hobson. G. M. Hammer Rites Are Held Funeral services for George Milton Hammer, 60, of Mocksville were conducted at 3 p.m. Friiday at Mocksvllle Baptist church by Rev. J. P. Davis and Rev. E, W. Turner.

Peebles warned this week. "Winter means heated homes and barns and also an Increase in flrcj hazards—a 34 percent In­ crease. Cracked chimneys, cor­ roded flues, defective furnaces and improperly discarded hot ashes are the villains. Make sure that your heating plant is in good working condition,” advised Mr, Peebles, An annual farm fire loss of over $90,000,000 is more than any coun­ try can afford—especially during the present food crisis," Mr. Williamson declares. "Fire prevention on the farm is only half the job for complete fire safety. A farmer must make provisions to protect his farm If he wants to keep it. He must take the time to instruct his fam­ ily and his farm hands in the use of fire*flghting equipment. A farmer must see to it that a suf­ ficient number'of approved fire extinguishers are on his prop­ erty and that they are placed in strategic locations." County Agent Peebles re­ minded all farmers-that the first five minutes of a fire are the most important. “You can do more to control a fire in the first five minutes than can be done in the next five hours. Fight that fire the minute you discover it.” MARTHA MASON ^Martha Mason, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. P. H. Mason, who is now employed in the payroll department of Hanes Hosiery mills of Winston-Salem, and who is playing basketball with the Hanes Hosiery Lassies, left November 25 Tdr 'a’ westefii Trip."

EN TEám SE PA O R è N«xt Staff Cht«ff NEWS OF FARM CONSERVATION By HOWARD J. yrUiLIAMS There are many acres in Davie county that should be planted to trees to check erosion, provide wood products on the farm, con­ serve moisture, give a home to wildlife, and turn idle acres into profiti for th« owner. In tpHe of these benefits, treei should be planted only on land that is better suited for growing trees than for anything else. Trees should not be planted onia piece of land if it is level and fertile enough to grow good cul­ tivated crops without eroding , or if it can make i;nproved. pasture and additional pasture is needed, In most cases forest trees should be planted: (l) 'On cut-over areoi or in forests so run down that they are not reseeding, or are re­ seeding too slowly; (2) on land that will be or has been ruined by sheet or gully erosion; (3) on rocky, hilly, or worn-out land; (4) pn land restocking to worth­ less kind* of trees; (5). on odd corners of good land, too small or inaccessible for cultivated crops or pasture. • In thé Piedmont Motion, lob­ lolly or ihortleaf pine aré beit suited for poor loila, and black locust and. black walnut for the best ground. In reforestation best results are obtained by plant­ ing seedlings. These plants are usually spaced 6 by 6 to 8 by 8 feet apart. The' seedlings aré planted close together to reduce the number and size of the branches; When young trees are erowd^ thejr grow taller In •etrc^ of nmllght. and the lower branches drop off, leaving ■tralght leg» that are free of knots and limbs. One thousand seedlings are enough to plant an acre and can be bought for $2.S0. These'plahts are made available through the North Carolina department of co|uervatlon and development. Farmers desiring to plaiif seed- lings should order their plant« soon and request that they Im llvered in January or February.

Motorist Will Sport Two License Tags Raleigh.—When car-owners go to buy their 1948 license plates, they will find that “therc've been some changes made." For the first time since 1942, next year’s motorist will be able to sport two license tags—one on the front and one on the rear of his vehicle. He will also find that there has been a change in license plate rates. Instead of a ditrevent rate for every passenger car of different weight ns in tho past, the new ...Uconse—tcc...law.,_nassed_.h.v_thc. 1947 Genei'al Assembly, fixes throe basic figures—$10, $12 and $15 for private passenger vehicles —and a flat $G0 fee for taxicabs and other service and “for hire" passenger vehicles. ' The 1948 license plates will have orange letters on a black background. They have been manufactured by the inmates of Central Prison and have already been distributed throughout the State to tho branch offices, where they will go on sale December 1. Col. Rosser urged all motorists to get their tags early to avoid congestion, and added that per> sons caught driving on old tags after January 31 will be subject to Indictment. rr PAYS TO AOVmTlgK NECKLACE Of Sparkling Rhinestones to Enhance Your Evening Glamour. »J.99 Matching Earrings $] .99 OIJH LINGEIIIE DEPT. — Loaib — most heart-winning gown ond robe ensembles!

President Dave Rankin deserves a lot of credit for helping to work out the solution. Dr. Clyde W. Young, Paul Blackwelder and Graham Madison, who handled the work of seeing that everybody had guests present, also de­ serve much crdeit. ' / The speaker for the evening was Frank Jetet of State College. Frank knows agriculture and he talked it. . He said he came here to hritfg one word: Here it is: North Carolina now ranks third in the nation) exceeded only by Texas and California, in the value of products of the farm. The people of this country made, this FROM THE SOIL. Now on the cultivated land in this state NORTH CAROLINA HAD ONLY 30 PERCENT OF THE LAND THAT BROUGHT THIS LARGE INCOME TO THIS STATE. WHAT WILL THIS COUNTRY DO WHEN THEY RE­ CEIVE THE INCOME FROM THE OTHER 70 PERCENT? This country KNOWS HOW TO GROW CROPS. Now all they have to do is just apply what they already know. Another lesson here on GETTING READY FOR THE DEPRESSION: We started with nothing but the soil, we built the towns around the good earth. Now with patience, farm machinery, hard work, skill already known, we are ready to GET WHAT IS RIGHTLY OURS; MORE MONEY FROM EACH CROP.

C. 'A.I M l \ r VOLUME XXX “All The County News For Everybody” MOCKSVILLE, N. C., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1947 "AU The County News For Everybody"No. 42 FOUR LOCAL BUSINESS HOUSES ROBBED SUNDAY NIGHT HERE Last Sunday night robbers en­ tered four business houses in Mocksville, evidently looking for money, and carried off some around $1,000 in cash and $6,500 in war bonds. All discoveries of the thefts were found out Mon­ day niorning. The four houses entered in­ cluded Pennington Chevrolet Co., Smlih-Dwlggins Motor Co., Fos- ter-Hupp Feed mill and Mocks­ ville Flour mills. Entrance was made at Smith- Dwlggins Co., at a side window, by breaking a glass and raising the inside window. The thieves then tried to take off the door of the safe, beat the combination off and left the safe door hanging by the’upper bracket oi the hinge, where an effort was made to drive the bolt out of its position. It was not known how much cash was taken, somewhere be­ tween $900 and $1,000 T. P. Dwig­ gins said, as well as $6,900 in war bonds. At the Pennington Chevrolet Co., entrance was made at a win­ dow at the back. The safe con tained large purchases, Mr. Pen' nington said, and probably some $60 in cash. Entrance was made by just opening the safe door, which has a small combination. At the Foster-Hupp Feed mills entrance was made at the front, door was not disturbed, the cash register being moved around and some pennies left lying in it. At the Mocksville Flour mills entrance was made by breaking a glass on the front door and lifting the inside catch. The safe could not be found and the thieves just plundered around, taking two cases of checse crack­ ers for their trouble and leaving the rest. SBl Agent Guy Hartman of Winston-Salem, H. W. Zimmer­ man of Lexington and Deputy Dave Graham of Salisbury are assisting local officers and state highway police in investigating.

He had an average of 342% pul­ lets laying during the month, and 345 laying on the first of the month. There were 340' in the laying flock on the last day of the month. The 342 H monthly average of laying pullets pi;pduced 6,528 eggs or 544 dozens. They ate 1,360 pounds of scratch feed dur­ ing the month, and 1,800 pounds of mash. These feeds plus $2 worth of shell were valued at $184 for the month. The scratch feed per '100 pounds consisted of Oats, 40 per cent.; corn, 20 per cent.; barley, 40 per cent. The eggs were sold at 64c per dozen, $348 was the gross in­ come. Of this amount $164 was profit.

PHONE RATES HIKE GRANTED Raleigh.—The State Utilities commission has issued ah order permitting the Central Telephone company, which serves a large area of Piedmont and northwest­ ern North Carolina, to increase its rates. The increases would cost Cen tral’s customers $62,150 a year, but the phone company would net only $42,809 after paying its State and Federal taxed, the.com­ mission estimated. At the same time, the commis­ sion ordered another telephone company, the Citizens Telephone company, Inc., of Brevard, to ap­ pear here on December 9 to “an­ swer chargcs of failure on your part to provide adequate and sufficient telephone service.” Utilities commission officials said that they had received a petition, numerous letters and telegrams complaining of phono service at Brevard, and that sev­ eral persons had appeared in per­ son to voice their complaints.

Yadkin River Flood Control Farley Set A flood control meeting for all the residents and owners of prop­ erty on the Yadkin river water­ shed will be held at the Robert E. Lee hotel, Winston-Salem, early in January, it was announced by the 'Yadkin Valley Flood Control committee and the Wilkes Cham­ ber of Commerce at North Wilkesboro. Due to the fact that some of­ ficials slated for the panel dis­ cussion had conflicting engage­ ments, the meeting was postponed from the Dec. 19 date tentatively set. The program will consist main­ ly of a panel discussion of a com­ plete flood control plan to in­ clude detention dams, soil con­ servation and forestry. Slated for the discussion ore Governor R. Gregg Cherry, a U. S. senator and representative, and representa­ tives from the soil conservation service, forestry service and U. S. army engineers. Counties Included ih the Yad­ kin valley area are Wilkes, Cald­ well, Watauga, Surry, Yadkin, Forsyth, Stokes, Davie, Davidson, Rowan, Iredell, Cabarrus, Anson, Montgomery, Stanly and Rich­ mond.

More or less by accident it was that I stumbled on this place. One of the Agricultural Exten­ sion specialists from State Coll ege waa showing some movies and slides at a farmer’s meeting Country Cousin Winkle and I went to the other evning. While he was takin’ down his equipment after the show, I ask­ ed him who prepared the material he’d shown us. His reply led me to the base ment of Ricks Hall on the State College campus where I found a busy crew working in a set of offices, itudios, and dark rooms labeled "VISUAL AIDS.” A film library held the prints of films designed to promote vir tually every phase of Tar Heel agriculture from 4-H Club activ­ ities to farm mechanization, and served the purposes of specialists in both the Extension Service and the Experiment Station. Slide sets in color and black and white were likewise ready for use in any part of the state where one picture can be sub­ stituted for those 10,000 words Confuscious had in mind. And from the traveling these little slides have done, I'd say they have made quite a few “speech­ es."

Farmers, timbermen, soil con servationists, farm foresters and all others interested are urged to attend the Winston-Salem meet- pected from North Wilkesboro and Elkin, towns which suffered millions of dollars in losses in the 1040 flood disaster.'

Small Grains Being Attacked By Plant Lice Fields of small grain in almost every section of the State are being attacked by plant lice, says James T. Connor, in charge of Hntomology for the State Collegc Extension Service. Oats, especially those planted early, is the crop being attacked most widely by the little inscets, Mr. Conner said. However, they have also been found in fields of wheat and barley, as well as in pastures and forage crops. Usually plant lice, or'aphids as they are known by many, attack the plants in large numbers. They damage the plaht by; sucking the juices from it, causing it to gradually wilt and die. Now that cold weather is pre­ vailing over most of the State, it is quite possible that many of the plant lice will be deijtroycd, the Entomologist said. But, where infestation is continuing and as a preventative for further infes­ tation, Mr. Conner recommends that an application of nitrogen be placed on the grain. This will not kill the aphids, but it will promote a more virorous growth of the plants and will make them less susceptible to further dam­ age. Such a preventative is also sug­ gested for pasture and forage crops, Mr. Conner said. FARM QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED Q. How should a fresh dairy cow be fed? A. The feed for the first few days after freshening should be very limited in amount, says J. A. Arey, in charge of Dairying fur the State College Extension Service. The first day the grain feed should be restricted to bran mash, for the following four days feed a mixture of bran and ground oats, equal parts. A rea­ sonable amount of legume hay and a small amount of silage may be fed at all times during the freshened period. On or about the fifth day after freshening, the cow may be started on the regular milking ration and gradually brought to full feed over a period of around three weeks from the freshening date. The length of this period should be regulated according to the physical condit­ ion of the cow. Q, Is following peanuts with a winter crop a good practice? A. Following peanuts with a winter cover crop is a good prac­ tice. A good legume cover crop will assist in maintaining the soil organic matter content and the phosphate and potash supply of the soil can be replenished by direct fertilization. Since a good seedbed already exists it is nec­ essary only to harrow across the rows with a section harrow and drill in the cover crop as soon as peanuts are dug. If a drill is not available the cover crop and fer­ tilizer can be broadcast and cov­ ered by harrowing across the rows. An application of 300 to 400 pounds of an 0-10-10 fertil­ izer is recommeded. Q. How can I tell whether a horse collar fits properly? A. The collar should be snug, but not too tight, or too loose at the top, where it rests on the neck. There should be space on the sides to run the fingers clear to collar cap at top of collar, but no more. Collars that are too nar­ row at top, or on which hames are buckled too closely together at top, will pinch the neck and chafe it, causing sores on the sides near the top. If collar is too wide, it will work back and forth, sideways, chafing top of neck, causin ga sore to start there. An­ other frequent cause of sore necks is too much weight on the neck yoke, as when a mowing machine An adequate feed supply is of other implement has too light primary importance in the profit­ able production of beef cattle. Farmers going into the business should limit their numbers at the start and increase their herds as experience is gained and as pas- ture8~and olherfee^s are~increffs-' ed.

C., as Second Class Matter Under Act of Congress of March 8, 1879 ROBBING LOCAL STORES This Job that was pulled here lost Sunday night carries with it the conviction that somebody was hard after the money. First, take a look at' the situation- It was Sunday night and those who participated evidently knew what they were about. Next, take a look at the concerns that were entered. They were the companies that operated on the outside of town. Not much evidence of detecting people entering the building. Evidently, again those who entered the buildings must have known wlmt it was all about. That Is the reason why many people are now saying that somebody within the county must have had some­ thing to do with the job. How would strangers know what companies to enter, where the safes were. Now all of this brings up two points: The first is that the town has no night protection. Here is a job that the town offlclals will have to enter and hire somebody who will continually make the rounds. The next point is that the town does not have any protection for concerns who operate on Saturday nights. The local bank should Install a night deposit to protect their local customers. People can knock the safes apart that are at present In existence. Most of them belong to the old category and about all they are worth is Just protecting company books from a fire.

WILLIAMS S. D. Daniels, near Oraves store, used dynamite to make open drainage ditches in a poorly drained meadow.. Mr. Daniels thinks that by proper drainage he can convert a wet meadow into productive bottoms lor corn or other crops. W. A. and H. L. Bailey, near Advance, have recently bought and spread a carload of lime on their farm. They realize that lime is as essential as other fer­ tilizer for a good growth of le­ gumes for hay or soil building. They plan to get another car of lime later to apply on more crop land and pasture. Many farmers have been seen drilling on the contour this fall. To run a drill up and down the hill, or across terraces, is an In­ vitation to erosion and broken terraces. ' Cecil Leagans, north of Cana, is establishing a four-year strip rotation on a large rolling field on his farm. He believes that he can eliminate the use of terraces, prevent erosion, and increase crop yields by following a strip rotation that will keep his land covered with a close growing crop most of the time. J. H. Eidson, north of Roberts store, is getting plenty of grazing from a pasture mixture that was seeded this fall. Mr. Eidson was so well pleased with, ladino clover that he planted a hundred acres to this legume this fall. Three six-foot mash hoppers, or the equivalent, that feed from both sides, should be provided for each 100 laying hens. Matted spots in' rugs caused by heavy furniture can be covered with a damp cloth, pressed with a warm iron. As the nap springs up, brush with a stiff brush.

WILLIAMS ft ALSTON CLARK LAND AUCTION COHPANY Farmers Warned Of Hog Cholera One of the greatest financial losses In recent history may occur this fall unless North Carolina farmers take every precaution to protect their fall pigs from hog cholera, says Dr. C. D. Orinnells, professor of Veterinary Science at State College, Pointing to the present record prices and relative scarcity of pork. Dr. Grinnels agrees with the American Foundation for An­ imal Health, that the Nation’s swine raisers have a tremendous stake in this fall’s battle against cholera, the Nation’s No. 1 swine killer. Because the danger of fall chol­ era flareups is especially great in the next few weeks, farmers are urged to keep a close watch on their swine and have fall pigs vaccinated early. Vaccination, plus good santitation and proper feeding, is the best safeguard against cholera losses. Dr. Grinn- ells said. Five steps to ward off possible outbreaks are recommended: Have all pigs vaccinated—prefer­ ably around weaning time—first making sure, by veterinary exam­ ination, that they are in condition to receive the immunization. Watch the herd closely for signs of fever, loss of appetite, or weakness. A hog just coming down with cholera can spread the virus, even before pronounced symptoms occur. If signs of ill­ ness are noticed, suspect cholera first. If an outbreak threatens, and pigs have not been vaccinated. Joint Meeting Will Be Held In Rocky Mount ’The 1948 joint annual meeting of the North Carolina Crop Im­ provement Association, North Carolina Foundation Seed Pro­ ducers, Inc., and 100 Bushel Corn Club will be held January 8-9, at the Smith tobacco warehouse in Rocky Mount, according to Dr. R. P. Moore, director of the N. C. Crop Improvement. Associa­ tion. The meeting will be sponsored by the Rocky Mount Chamber of Commerce, Dr. Moore said. In addition to the host of in­ teresting speeches that have been scheduled, and the educational and commercial exhibits that will be di.splayed, the usual big'seed exposition with a long list of valuable prizes is expected to at­ tract much attention. Virtually every phase of pro­ ducing certified seed will be dis­ cussed during the two-day meet­ ing. Topics on this subject in­ clude: Ways in Which the Produc­ er of Certified Seed can Improve His Seed Program, Getting and Keeping Stored Grain Insects Under Control, and Harvesting and Drying Seed Crops. have this done immediately. If there is cholera in the neigh­ borhood, quarantine for at least two weeks any new livestock brought on the farm. Warn your neighbors if you suspect cholera on your own farm. Be careful about visiting hog lots. Disease may be spread in this way.

Carbon bisulfide or “high life", as It is commonly called, Is one of the most dangerous sprays, he stated, adding that this insecti­ cide is more explosive than gaso­ line and It can ignite from the heat of a steam pipe. If inflammable fumigants and insecticides must be used, he pointed out, they should be kept outside of a building housing per­ sons or animals, and never under any circumstances, should anyone strike a match within ten feet of a building which Is being fumi­ gated. W hen using these inflam m able insecticides, M r. W eaver said, be sure there is an approved fire ex ­ tinguisher handy. There are ex­ tinguishers especially designed to put out chem ical fires quickly and effectively. He cautioned against using in­ secticides which produce harm ­ ful fumes, explaining that the gases or fum es set up by som e fumigants can cause serious lung condition that often results in death. Farmers should be very w ary about purchasing fumigants and insecticides that do not bear the Underwriter’s Laboratory seal, he asserted. Sprays which have a fire haz­ ard less than kerosene are con* sldered safe, he added. Neverthe­ less, a fire extinguisher nearby provides necessary protection.

Koonce re­ lated, and consented to remain only after he was convinced that the ’gator was entirely too small to harm him.

The same recipe ‘ baked in the same oven for the same length of time at the same temperature may brown quite differently in differ­ ent pans. In one kind of pan it may come out a nice even medium brown, in another it may be loo pale, and in still another, too dark or unevenly browned. In most testing kitchens where recipes are developed today, al­ uminum pans are used because they do not change much with age and use, and do not corrode, chip, or break. Because recipes developed in aluminum may give different results in enamelware, glass or tin, the cook may need to change baking time and tem­ perature accordingly. In general, enamelware baking pans give the deepest brown. Glass ranks next in rapid brown­ ing, especially in an electric oven which has a high degree of heat. Enamelware and glass both ab­ sorb heat well, In aluminum and tin the browning is less rapid and usually more even, unless the tin is very dark, or thin and of Deeds Office of Davie County, N. C.

Cakes baked in a square pan, especially if the pan is enamelware, is likely to become too brown at the corners. Brown­ ing is more even in pans with rounded corners. In a deep, high­ sided pan, biscuits and cookies often come out too pale because the high sides "shade” them from the radiant heat. They brown better on a flat sheet or on the bottom oi an inverted pan. UNCti m m OF D EPEN D A BLE BUSIN ESS AND PROFESSIONALySERVICL • Pick - up and Delivery Service Davie Cleaners L. G.

Collins, in charge of Agronomy for the State College Extension Service, says that North Carolina farmers should utilize tholr idle aci'eages by scodlng more wheat, oats, and barley. If you do not have the nccessavy machinery for preparing the land and seeding the crop, Dr. Collins suggests that you see your neigh bor or county agent. They can assist you in locating the desired «nachinery, either on a rental bas­ is or for custom operation. Local fertilizer supplies should be sufficient lo meet all require- •ments, he slated.'However, if you cannot find the fertilizer locally,and since small grain seeding does your county agent can help you not require much labor, and will locate it elsewhere. Farmers are grow on a wide variety of soils, urged to get their nitrogen sup- increased acreage on most farms plies as early as possible. Conditions in the mid-western grain bolt point to a much short­ er than usual spring wheat crop, bccause of lack of soil moisture at seeding time. Since much of the grain that is used in (forth Carolina comes from the mid-wes­ tern area, an even greater chall­ enge is made to Tar Heel farmers to supplement this supply by pro ducing it at home. Dairymen, poultrymen, beef cattle and swine producers should “go all out" toward producing their needed grain requirements. Dr, Collins sold. There is still plenty of certified small grain seed on the market. should present no problems. If, after seeding the crop, you decide not to let it mature for grain, then it can be grazed or cut for hay. The main thing, says Dr. Collins, is to seed it now, and re­ gardless of how you use it, you will be helping out in the grain emergency. The globe's surface is 71 per­ cent oceans, 29 percent land.

CHEVROLET L O W IS T -P R IC ID L IN I IN ITS P Ill'O Rats Are Causing Extensive Damage On Tar Heel Farms 'The loss caused by rats on many North Carolina farms in a singlé year la higher than the cost of rat proofing the entire premises, says Extension speciolist at State College. A i-at-proof farm, they say, is not necessarily one in which the their source of food and water should be protected or removed, and all places of shelter as far practicable. Food is ever-abundant on most farms and is Ihe prime reason why more rats are probably found on farms than any other place, the specialists point out. Feed in self-feeders in Ihe poultry house and left-over feed in cattle and hog troughs are almost impossible entire farmstead is a b s o l u t e l y '*° however, by carrying proofed, but rather one where conditions are so unfavorable for any Invading rats they either will desert the premises of their own accord or may easily be routed by man or dogs. Permanent freedom from rats should be the goal of everyone troubled with these pests, but be­ fore tacklig this problem, the rea­ sons why rats exist on the prem­ ise should first be determined. Rats require food, water, and shelter, and they cannot exist where these are lacking; therefore out the following practices, the situation can be improved, they say. Keep surplus feed in tight containers such as ratproof bins and steel drums. Protect wooden bins by installing metal shields about the lids, bottom, sides and corners. Always close the covers tightly. Ratproof corn cribs with 2 x 2 mesh hardware cloth or sheet metal. Keep all garbage and edible waste in containers with tight-fitting covers. Place food for birds and pets where rats cannot reach it. Pick up all Cotton Seed For Planting Shoulds Be Bought Early Says Extension Specialist The cotton seed situation for next year’s crop is grave, says J. A. Shanklin, Extension cotton specialist as' Stale College, but if farmers will investigate their next year's requirements at an unused fruit and vegetables in gardens near buildings. Sweep all floors frequently, especially feed rooms. The following measures will help in protecting accessible sour­ ces of water. Where possible, cov­ er automatic drinking fountains during the night. Install remov- t^ble covers for watering troughs and other tanks of water. Cor­ rect leaking faucets, and improp­ erly drained sinks. Eliminate low places where water may stand after a rain. Remove all cans or other receptables that may hold water after a rain. early dale, Ihere should be no reason why everyone cannot get as many seed as he needs. Weather conditions for Ihe post few weeks in the Piedmont Coun­ ties have damaged the cotton seed to the extent that most of the farmers in that area will have to rely on outside sources for their seed next year, he said. Here­ tofore, farmers in that section of Ihe stale have been supplying a large amount of the seed used by growers in other counties. The Extension Service, working with ginners and seed crushers, have already placed orders for 1,200 Ions of Certified Coker 100 wilt resistant seed, Mr. Shanklin said. These seed will come mostly from Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia where the past season has been favorable for cotton harvesting. Mr. Shanklin suggests that each farmer who is interested in locat­ ing seed for next year's crop, get in touch with his county agent. PENNINGTON CHEVROLET CO.

Cattle Owners Warned To Make Bang’s Test A warning citing legal require- itienle for testing cattle for Bang’s Disease was sued by Dr. L. J. Faulhaber, State Veterinarian with the N. C. Department of Agriculture. Dr. Faulhaber said herd dis­ persal sales are occurlng so fre­ quently that owners need to be reminded of the law in order to prevent an outbreal< of Bang's in this state. He cited the provision stating: “All dairy and breeding cattle over six months of age offered or sold at public sale, except for immediate slaughter, shall be negative to Bang's test made with­ in 30 days prior to sale and ap­ proved by the State veterinarian." The responsibility for making the tests lies with the herd owner making the sale. Dr. Faulhaber explained. He said the warning was prompted by the revalation that a herd oWner recently sold cattle without making the test and offered the excuse,that he was ignorant of the law. Such an excuse is not valid, the veter­ inarian declared. SALE - V i с т л м л t REG. 7.95, to 9.95......... REG. 9.95 to 12.95......... REG. 12.95 to 14.95......

SOIL TESTS ARE URGED What would any Davie county farmer think of a nfedical doc­ tor who performed an operation on a member of his family with­ out first administering to that person a thorough physical ex­ amination? Yet, hundreds, of farmers are “operiating” on their farms that way. This type of op­ eration may not Involve the risk of possibly losing the life of a person, but it certainly is killing the soil at an expensive rate, states F. E. Peebles, county agent. / A soil test reveals its complete analysis. It gives a diagnosis of the soil. A crop on one farm may need on fertilizer analysis and rate, while on another farm or i^ another field the same crop will have different requirements if it is to produce satisfactorily. No on« can. correctly recommend the needs of crops without knowing what the soil lacks. The right approach to better agriculture in Davie county would be to have every field in every farm tested, states Mr. Peebles. There is no cost to having soil samples tested. How much cheap­ er could you expect to get so great a service? Farmers spend thousands and thousands of dollars each year for fertilizers. Some of these in­ crease the production of some crops on some farms; but that is not always the case. If the prop­ er fertilizer was applied at the correct rate, larger yields would result. It is too expensive to cintinue to apply fertilizer that will not give the best yields pos­ sible. Fertilizer materials and labor are scarce and should be used to the very best advantage. If the Davie farmers who have never had their soils tested would talk to those farmers who have had their soils tested, these talks would be of a great deal of good because first hand information and experiences could be ex­ changed, says Mr. Peebles, The fertilizer treatments rec­ ommended by the experts who test the soil may seem a little expensive to carry out the first year, but over a period of several years it would be an economical practice. Would it not be cheaper to pay $50 for fertilizer you know will benefit the crop on a field than to pay $40 for fertilizer that would be worth only $20 to that crop? The county agent’s office has a supply of soil sample containers on which are the directions for taking samples. All the farmer need do is to get the boxes, bring us the samples and we do the rest. The samples are sent to the North Carolina Department of Agriculture in Raleigh. The de­ partment makes the tests and sends the report and recommen­ dations directly to the farmer.' ' Do not wait until planting time to take the samples. Do it now in order that you will be ready to M i г*' -iblir )" MOCKSVILLE (N. C.)

He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and j^you know that they abound and give your life its highèst |l.Jçy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were ^ no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no (.Virginias.

On Tuesday, November 11, 1947, Sister Rena Kimbrough Sheek, charter and life member, of MocksviUe Chapter 173, Order of the Eastern Star, "Stepp^ through morning’s golden gates and walked in Paradise.” May the rays of our Signet, dedicated to her memory, exem­ plify her noble Christian charac­ ter and ever be a guide to others.

A Bright and Cheery Holiday to You All “IS THERE A SANTA CLAUS?” This famous editorial from the old New York Sun was printed on Decem­ ber 21,1897 in answer to a scrawling letter by an elght-yeiir-old girl. It was written by Francis P. Church ?jid has been reprinted each year on the front page of The Sun since that time. Dear Editor: . . . “I am 8 years old. "Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. "Papa says, "If you see it in the Sun, it’s so”. "Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Ctous? "Virginia O’Hanlon, “115 West 95th Street.” Mr. Church wrote: "Virginia, your little friends, are wrong. They have been affected by a skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as mea­ sured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole truth and knowledge. "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give your life its highest joy. Alas I how dreary would be the world if there were no San^ ClausI It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no child-like faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except In sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. "Not believe in Santa ClausI You might as well not believe in fariesi You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not ^ Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, ____but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus^_The_mQ.st_tea in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you \ ever see faries dancing on the lawn: Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. "You tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest, nor ' the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view the picture of the supernatural beauty and glory be­ yond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. "No Santa ClausI Thank Ood he lives, and he lives forever. A thou­ sand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.” ÉauAUTYmcHANouE REAsomLvmmU FRœAY, DECEMBER 19,1947 THE MOCKSVILLE (N.

A. Arey, in charge of dairying for the state College Extension Service. The growing Importance of the millc industry to the State’s econ­ omy is further evidenced by the new pealc value of $39,856,000 let on North Carolina's 361,000 milk cows which produced a total of 693,000,000 quarts of millc in 1946. Annual milk production per cow averaged 1,921 quarts. Expanded utilization of North Carolina , milk as fluid milk for drinking and cooking has in­ creased the overall value of the State’s milk output as farmers receive their highest price for milk used in this form. Latest annual figures for North Caro­ lina show butter production at 1,561,000 pounds, American whole milk cheese at 1,142,000 pounds and ice crcam at 16,364,000 gal­ lons. Milk and its many products supply the essentials of good nu­ trition at low cost. The dairy in­ dustry is constantly striving to give consumers a high quality product at the lowest possible cost. According to latest statistics, milk is a better food bargain to­ day than over before, showing only half the gain in price for "all foods," Mr. Arey said. Pecan Crop Injured By Pests, Disease Prospects for North Carolina’s 1947 crop of pecans declined dur­ ing October because of insect and disease damage, combined with unfavorable growing conditions, the ederal-State Crop Reporting Service stated. Indications on Nov. 1 pointed to a production of 2,040,000 pounds of pecans, which is 52 per cent greater than the 1946 output but 24 per cent less than the 10-year (1936-45) average. Value of sales of North Caro­ lina pecans has increased from $24,000 in 191» to the record high of $712,000 received from the 19- 45 crop, from which about 2,400,- 000 million pounds, w,ere sold. To­ tal production in 1945 was 3,200,- 000 pounds, of which 26 per cent was consumed in farm house holds. If unmolested 350,000,000 rats would be produced from a single pair in three years.

Throughout the coming year j SMITH-DW IGGINS LUMBER CO. State’s Land Prices Show Large Increase North Carolina land prices have increased 139 per cent over the 1935-1039 average, according to C. B. Ratchford, in charge of Extension Farm Management at State College. This Increase is exceeded only by Kentucky with 170 per' cent, Colorado with 156 per cent, and Tennessee with 140 per cont, the specialist said. A large number of persons buy­ ing farms at present high prices believe they can pay for the farms in a few years at present prices, Mr. Ratchford declared; however, in view of high produc­ tion costs and possible declines in farm prices and incomes, some farmers will again have difficul­ ty in meeting mortgaage payments and other fixed debts. Not predicting what is going to happen to farm prices other than saying it seems reasonable that they will drop from present high levels, the specialist said that prices farmers are having to pay will increase if prices they receive remain high. If farmers receive prices paid will remain high, he said, but the profit the farmer makes will probably de­ crease in the either case. The farmers have been in a very favorable position since the be­ ginning of the war as prices re­ ceived have increased faster than prices paid, thus, leaving a high prifit. Now, this is correcting It­ self as prices paid are increasing faster than prices received, he said. If the farmer pays half the pres­ ent price for a farm in cash, he still owes as much or more than he would have in the late thirties had he bought the entire farm on credit—that is how serious the situation is, Mr. Ratchford said. fRAOIC DEATH OF A SCHOOLBOY OVERWHELMED BY GRIEF, Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Burns cry uncontrollably over the death of their son, Patrick, Jr., who was killed on his way to school in Los Angeles.

Harwood, Jr., Stanly County 4-H Club member, re­ cently bought a 36-acre farm, ad­ joining his father’s farm, with a part of the profits he has made from his 4-H Club projects dur­ ing the past seven years. D, G., who is president of the State 4-H Club Council, has been a partner in the dairy business with his father for several years, according to V. A. Honeycutt, assistant county agent for the state College Extension Servnce. He realized that if the partner­ ship waa to continue and any ex­ pansion made in the enterprise, additional land would be needed for permanent pastures and small and small grains; therefore, he decided to buy thé farm adjoin­ ing his father’s farm. . The young farmer also plans to complete his college education in the near future. This presented another problem, that of having an additional house for labor to carry on while he is away. The purchase of the farm solved this since it has a five-room dwelling and other outbuildings, Mr. Hun- eycutt said. D. G. has made an outstanding record in his 4-H Club work, the agent said, and with the leader­ ship he possesses, he should be­ come one of the best farmers and leaders In North Carolina. USDA announced a recom­ mended national laying flock on January 1, 1948, of 420 million hens and pullets, which would be expected to provide 375 eggs per capita for domestic con­ sumers. The Production and Marketing administration of the United States Department of Agriculture bought 2,127,445 bushels of wheat during the period from noon of September 5 to noon of Septem­ ber 12.

You deserve the Joys we wish you— so let us repeat our good wishes to you now. SM PpT-DEADM pN SHELL SERVICE Experiment Station Expands Tobacco Research Facilities One of the two new tobacco research stations to be leased and equipped by the North Carolina Agricultural Station will probably be located on the Payne Brother’s farm near Rural Hall, according to Dr. L. D. Baver, station direc­ tor. The stations arc a part of the expanded tobacco research program provided for by the past State Legislature. Though final contact negotia­ tions are still uner way, station officials are going ahead with plans to equip and man the cen­ ters. The Rural Hall station was located so as to serve farmers in the Upper Piedmont region. It was selected after an exhaustive search for soils and topography typical of the area which it will serve. Counties that will directly ben­ efit from the Rural Hall station are Forsyth, Davidson, Davio, Iredell, Alexander, Surry, Yad­ kin, Rockingham, Guilford, Ran­ dolph, Caswell and Alamance. E. F. Goldston, extension soil sur­ veyor, estimates that between 75 and 80 per cent of the tobacco in these counties is grown on soils similar to those found on the Payne Brothers’ farm. Dr. W. E. Colwell, who heads up the tobacco research program in the State says that the aim of the Experimental Station is to study tobacco problems where they occur—as near to the farms as possible. “We are especially anxious to study the behavior of different tobacco varieties on the disease-free soils of these areas,” Dr. Colwell explains. “We want also to step up black shank re­ search, black root rot studies and investigate insect troubles. Stud­ ies will also be made with some of the new fertilizer materials containing slowly-available ni­ trogen.” The other farm will be located near Greenville, in Pitt county and will serve the Lower Coastal Plain region. Though the inves­ tigators expece to make a good start in 1948, they say the program won’t be in full swing for at least another year. Chickens Require Plenty Of Water If chickcns could talk, no doubt many of them on North Carolina farms would sound the cry for more water, says Professor Roy s. Dearstyne, head of the Poultry department at State Collcge, North Carolina poultrymen are losing money every day. Profess­ or Dearstyne said, simply because they do not pay enough attention to the water requirements of their laying flocks. Since poultry drink only a limited amount of water at one time, it is necessary that the supply be visited many times a day if the bird is to secure an adequate amount ot water to meet body demand. Approximatly 60 per cent oi tho chickens body is made up of water and comprises about two tliirds of the egg, Professor Dear­ styne said; therefore, the constant demand of tho body must bo mot it the lien is to live and perform properly. At least two, three-gallon wat­ er containers should be used for each hundred layers in case auto­ matic watorers are not available, he said. .To secure good sanita­ tion, these waterers should be elevated so that the litter cannot be scratched into them and so protected that the chickens can­ not perch on them. It is well to clean waterers, regardless of type, once a day and disinfect them once a week, he added. Taking the chill out of drink ing water during winter is.also a good practice. Professor Dear- stpne said, as this leads to a more liberal drinking of water by the chickens. SHOWS WHERE BOY WAS SLAIN TWELVE-YEAR-OLD Howard Lang (left) covers his face as his friend, Gerald Michalek, 9, points to the spot where Lonnie Felllck,7, was found stabbed and beaten to death, according to Chicago police. Gerald reportedly told authorities how, through fear for his own life, he held the little victim while Howard killed him. Care Should Be Taken In Handling Tobacco When tobacco is brought from the curing barn, special care should be taken in cooping it in the packhouse, says Roy R. Ben­ nett, extension tobacco specialist at State college. Answering the question that has arisen in the minds of so many tobacco farmers during the recent warm, damp weather pe­ riod—what can I do with tobacco that is too high in order?—Mr. Bennett offers the following sug­ gestions. Should tobacco become too high in order in the pack or in handling tho sorting and typing operation, it should be dried out before being packed down or marketed.

O. Schaub of the state Collcge Extension Service. Since corn and other grains are so vitally needed. Director Schaub says that the citizens of this state, both rural and urban, should make a concerted effort to rid their premises of those dam aging posts. ‘‘Not only should these wasters of food and feed be killed now," he said, “but de/inito measures should be taken to prevent later infestations." While 100-per cent control isn’t practical, certain steps can be taken to materially decrease the losses," ho doclured. Realizing the untold losses which rats and mice are causing in this state, the State. College Extension Service in cooperation with the state Board of Health and the Predator and Rodent Con­ trol Division of the U. S. Depart­ ment of Interior Fish and Wild­ life Service, are launching a state­ wide rat control campaign. The Extension Service will sponsor the program in the rural areas, while the State Board of Health supervises the work in urban cen­ ters. The campaign is scheduled to be held during the first week in December.

Ne^ type farm trac­ tors and machines of small size should be available in consider­ able numbers next year, he stated. The number of tractors on farms in the United States on Jan­ uary 1, 1947, was about 117 per cent greater than the average dur­ ing 1935-39, the specialist said. Comparable figures for number of horses and mules show a de­ cline of 36 per cent. In North Carolina, the number of tractors increased 145 per cent from 1940 to 1945. For the same period, however, the number of horses and mules deceased less than 1 per cent. Since figures for the United States show only a 57 per cent increase in the number of tractors and 18 per cent decrease in the number of horses and mules during 1940-45, it is certain that the number of tractors in North Carolina has increased tremendously since 19- 4S, Mr. -WiHiams-aftidr other items valued at current rates is about doubled the pre­ war costs.

MORRIS Real Estate • Insurance lliMIDiMSiDìiMSiMBiMMiBlMìiMMIimftMMiMliBiliMMMIlìl Beef Prices Still High Despite High Production Despite the record production of beef this year, the prices of steaks and other cuts still remain high, and here are a few reasons for this, according to C. Brice Ratchford, in charge of Extension Farm Management at State Col­ lege. There are several reasons for this, Mr. Ratchford said, but the main one is the strong demand which stems from high income. Since incomes are also higher this year than ever before, there Is a stronger demand for meat, and this, in turn, is helping keep prices high, he said. Another reason, he declares. Is the shorter than usual supply of pork, sheep and lambs. Consumer studies by the De­ partment of Agriculture Indicate that meat purchases and con­ sumption increase as family in­ comes increase. Generally, for each 1 per cent increase in dis­ posable income, there is an in­ crease of 7/10 per cent in retail value of meat consumed. The study further revealed that fam­ ilies with an income of $1,000 to $1,500 per year consumed 64 cents worth of meat, per person per week. Families with incomes of $3,000 to $5,000 per year consumed 94 cents worth of meat per per­ son per week, In 1942 only 19 per cent of the families had incomes of over $3,000 per year, but in 1946, 43 per cent had Incomes of over $3,000, Mr. Ratchford said. Awards Presented 4-H Club Members Awards consisting of four $100 scholarships and four engraved gold watches were recently pre­ sented to eight North Carolina 4-H Club boys and girls who were declared territorial winners in the Better Methods Electric Congress in Raleigh. The congress was co-sponsored by the Carolina Power and Light Company, Virginia Electric and Power Company and the West- Inghouse Educational Foundation, and was conducted by the State College Extension Service. Territorial awards, which were given by the CP & L and the VEP, consisted of a $100 scholar­ ship to one boy and one girl as second prize. Winners of these awards in the Carolina Power and Light Company territory were: Imogene Rayfield of Anson Coun­ ty and Horace Cox of Wayne County, first prize winners; James Lindley of Chatham County and Sue Nichols of Wake County, second prize winners. ■ ■"Albeit Ellen of Halifax County and Celia Stokes of Martin were winners of the scholarship, while Robert Dennis Ricks, Jr. of North­ hampton County and Hazel Gar­ ris of Pitt County won the second prizes, in the Virginia Electric and Power Company territory. These winners now have the opportunity to compete further for statewide honors and a chance to attend the National 4-H Club Congress at Chicago in December. From each of the 41 counties represented at the meeting, one member was selected as best all­ round 4-H Club member in the county, and therefore, was award­ ed a gold-plated sterling silver Medal of Honor by the Westing- house Educational Foundation.

Eggs Through Proper Packing Proper packing of eggs will protect the quality, says' T. T. Brown, Extension Poultry spec­ ialist at State College. Careless or Improper packing of eggs is frequently responsible for heavy quality loss as well as loss through damage to the eggs, Mr. Brown declared, and all fue precautions taken to preserve quality up to the time the eggs are packed amount to little if this final step is not propehly taken. The first requirement, he said, is good containers. Egg cases may be wood or fiber and they may be new or used, but they must be sound, well fastened on all sides, and fitted with clean, dry flats and fillers of a satisfactory type. Eggs should never be kept in baskets, boxes, or crates for ex­ tended periods on the farm, at receiving stations, or in stores where they are being sold at re­ tail, because such practice leads to rapid deterioration. Eggs should be packed with the big end up, for the air cell is always at the large end. This cell permits the egg to breathe, and when it is packed with the big end down it literally smothers, the specialist said. ............... day gathering were Govenor R. Gregg Cherry, Director I. O. Schaub of the State College Ex­ tension Service, and Davis S. Weaver, head of the department of Agricultural Engineering at State College. Proper packing of eggs demands that the pack be reasonably tight so the eggs will not be cracked or broken in the cases. The whole purpose of packing eggs in cases or cartons is for the sake of con­ venience in handling and to pre­ vent breakage in handling them throughout the marketing sys­ tem. When very large or very long eggs are packed, it is frequently necessary to use extra-deep fill­ ers and to deepen the cases by nailing on inch strips of wood to the top of each case. The addit­ ional space thus provided helps materially in reducing from end crushing. The whole problem of proper packing and handling of eggs is of vast importance to the industry in helping to conserve egg quality and in preventing waste through damage and breakage, Mr. Brown said. A dry edible smooth pea goal of 380,000 acres for 1948 was an­ nounced today by the USDA. This is the same as the 1947 goal, but substantially less than the acreage Indicated as being under cultivation this year.
