TO LOCATE HERE INDICATIONS ARE THAT DAVIE'S RAT CAMPAIGN WAS SUCCESSFUL By P. E. PEEBLES CoaBty Agnit Thé Davie County U SD A council put on a rat campai|n last week and cooperation of the agenclei. was fine in mixing and preparing the packages of bait.

The towni of Mocksville and Cooleemee co< operated fine in the program. However; there was less partiel* patlon by the rural people than we expected. We would like to think that that was due to a scarcity of rats, but we are in> dined to believe otherwise. The campaign was given ade,quate publicity in the local newspaper, and a letter was sent to every farm in the' county.. Handbills were posted in every community. Reports thus far indicate that those people who useH the bait got pretty good results.

George Shutt hurled the challenge at J. G. Crawford, Cooleemee Lion, and pro posed that the game have five-minute quarters, strict ly by girls' rules, and no one who has played in the last five years is eligible. Mr. Crawford's reply was , not audible at the time, but it is thought that he assented. • ,----------------------------------- • Refreshing the .plnda of those who have not aware of the benefits and funcjuioiu.cf the Vet erans Adminlstriilon In North Carolina, Jack Maddox, contact reprewntative of thè VA In W i» ston-Salem and at i>ment a Davie boy from Bixby, ; T u ^ a y told Rotarians of the Intensfiied pro gram of aid to veterans through out the country and this itate. Introduced by Bert Gartrell, program chairmaii, Mr; Maddox told how his contact divliion han dles the myriad ramplainta and problems that pour through the offices. He told iii a mountain boy who appeared at hit desk one day with a drawn pistol, de manding that he "get what’a com ing” to him from the VA. Mr. Maddox, noticing something strange about thè weapon, reach ed up and grabbed it and paci fied the complaining veteran. “National Service Life Insur ance,” said the ¡representative. "or OI InsuranM, as it is known, has many benefits and is one of the finest programs of its kind in existence today. It has been so changed in the past one or two years that almost any vet eran of both world wars can have Insurance at a substantially lower rate than that offered by legal private companies. These bene fits were not available until only recently.” "The veterans administration program is growing all the time, instead of going down, and it is the Job of every one of us to see that we ourselves have a part in it, not only as veterans, but as contributors through taxes to this huge program of rehabilita tion for the veteran who fought on foreign soils,” Mr. Maddox concluded.

Ellis Peacock Is Found Dead The body of James Ellis Pea cock, 67, farmer, who had been missing for about a week, was found Sunday morning iii a small stream of water near his home. Davie county officers, who made the investigation, attributed death to exposure. He is survived by four chil dren, Fred Peacock of Cooleemee, J. A. Peacock of Salisbury, Mrs. Roscoe Jones and Mrs. W. W, Correll of Cooleemee; one sister, Mrs. Daniel Foster of Mocksville; one half brother, Henry Peacock of Mocksville; two half sisters, Mrs. Roy Daniels,of Mocksville and Mrs. Roxie Stanley of Win- ston-Salem. Funer|il -services were con ducted at 4 p.m. Tuesday at Lib erty Methodist church, near Mocksville. Smith'Dwiggins Suffers Fire Loss A in i^gh t fire of undeter mined origin swept the rear Vf Smith-Dwiggins Motor company here Saturday night, causing about $5,000 worth of damage, according to company officials. An American cab and another car were burned partially in the fire, which was at first believed to have been started from a stove. Later, however, it was discov ered that the stove had not had a fire in it since early Saturday morning. The roof of the garage was burned off in the back of the re pair shop, and Mocksville fire men checked the blaze before it did any further damage. Gene Haneline ,local youth, is said to have discovered the fire, having seen the blaze and smoke from uptown. He notified firemen, who responded and quickly brought the blaze under control. Mrs. Claude Thompson Loses Brother Sunday Funeral services were held Tuesday for Willis Swicegood, who passed away February 1 at his home in Summerville, S. C„ with a heart attack. Interment was in the family plot. Mr. Swicegood was a native of Davie, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Swicegood of the Cherry Hill section. He has spent the past 35 years in Summerville. He was a Metliodist, a Mason and an Eastern Star. He is survived by his widow, the former Miss Carrie Bell of Summerville; six sons, George of Summerville, Mason of New York city, Billy of Wilmington, Dan of the U. S. Navy, Eugene and Frank at home; two daughters, Mrs. Elijah Mixson of Charleston, S. C., Mrs. Merlyn May of Brazil; two brothers, Arthur of Linwood, Ross of Tyro, and two SisUrs, Mrs. Sue Thompson of Mocksville and Mrs. May Deal of Gastonia, ,and several ^eces and nephews. Mr. and Mrs. Claude Thomp son left Monday accompanied by Arthuf and Ross Swicegood for Summerville. ^ An announcement was made Tuesday at the Rotary club meeting by R. B- Sanford, Sr., that P. H. Hanes Knit ting Company “has purchased a tract of land oh Advance road in North Mocksville and will erect, as soon as possible, a thoroughly modem factory employing 200 to 250 piersons, 60 per cent, of them women.” Mr. Sanford said that he had been asked to makei the announcement by the Hanes Arm. Officials of the plant were to have been here to announce the transaction this week, but unforeseeable circumstancs prevented their coming. The tract is located on the Advance road, a few yards outside the city limits, 60 acres directly in front of Mrs. Mazie Van Eaton’s home, and adjoining a tract of the Sain property. The firm will manufacture in a modem factory men’s and boys* tmderwear, sportswear, knit goods and women’s goods, ^ “It is understood that members of the public relatkms committee of the Rotary club haveCbeen communicating with Hanes officials regarding the negotiation during the past year, and the latter have visited MocksvUle with « view toward locating a site,” Mr. Sanford explained. The statement by the Hanes Davie and now living in Win- firm, delivered through Mr. San ford, was as follows: "I have an announcement to make, which I am sure will be of interest not only to each mem ber of our Rotary club and to the people of Mocksville, but it ston-Salem that we can readily understand why it has often been said that Winston-Salem has been buih to a large extent by former residents of Davie county. “I know that today we would will affect the lives of many o f, be glad to welcome back home our citiisens throughout Davie these men who have made na‘' eounty- and' I -believet it will be welcome news to all. "In years gone by, many of our best families with a vision left Davie county and went to larger places of industry. If you will pardon a personal reference, this was true in my mother's fam ily. W. L. and Rufus Brown, her only brothers, were born in Mocksville and began the man' ufacture of tobacco here and also ran a general store on the pres ent site of C. C. Sanford Sons company. In a few years they decided to move to Winston, where they established and op erated the well-known firm of Brown Brothers, the originators of Brown’s Mule chewing tobac- to the Reynolds Tobacco com pany, one of their sons headed up the Brown-Williamson Tobac co company and another son. be came part owner and manager of the Virginia-Carolina Chemical company. Another Mocksville citizen who left Davie and made a fortune and helped to build Winston-Salem was Mr. D. Rich, who was for many years treas urer of the R. J. Reynolds To bacco company. Mr. Thomas H. Gaither, brother of our late E. L, Gaither, amassed a fortune in Charlotte and helped much in thé growth of that city. I could men tion many others who were born in Davie, moved arway, and made names for themselves. Among them are Leon and Tom Cash, the Smithdeals, and many others. Possibly the outstanding family now living in Winston- Salem whose forebears came from Davie is the Hanes family, closely related to the late Jake Hanes and Miss Sally Hanes, Mrs. Crow and Mrs. Blanche Clement. No one can measure their influ ence in-making Winston-Salem one of the largest cities of North Carolina. We find members of this family leaders in the manu facturing business of varied lines, heads of large banks, and out standing in law and medicine. There are so many other men of wealth and influence reared in Uon<wld« Jiaine* for. tlu^iMlyct;. <.... There are nearby towni that have offered flattering indueementi in their efforts to get some of them located in their midst. I am hap- - py to report to you that senti ment played a part in making possible the message I have been asked to deliver today. "Two weeks ago I had hoped to have one or more of the of ficials of a lorge manufacturing plant as my guests at Rotary and let this announcement come di rect to you from headquarters, but I was disappointed. I had also hoped to have one or more of them with me today, but on a visit to the factory last week, I was told they could not be pres- some later date. The president and his associates in business asked that I tell you they look upon Davie county ss their oM home and are happy at the thought of coming back. They want our people to be their friends and they are looking for ward with pleasure to the future when they will be with us again.; They have asked me to t):press their happiness in the knowIedgë that we will welcome them. "I have been authorized to say that this company has purchased a sixty acre tract upon which it plans as soon as possible to erect a most modern factory, with the very best working conditions. It will employ from two hundred to two hundred fifty people, sixty per cent women. They will man ufacture men's and boys' under wear and sports wear. Fellow Ro tarians, your public relations com- ' mlttee is happy to announce the coming of P. H. Hanes Knitting company,” SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS The halls of the Mocksville high school have'just had a new coat of paint. In addition three class rooms on the second floor have been painted. Another great ly needed Improvement is the in stallation of light reflectors in the r gymnasium, which was done by; the local school board. PAGE 2 THE MOCKSVILLE (N. C.)

Then too, calves do their own grinding more effeciently than older an imals. Proper feeding of the laying flock is very essential. They should be fed scratch feed, and a laying mash of high quality that Is balanced in protein, fat, carbo hydrates, vitamins and minerals, be candled. . In the proper handling of a herd of cattle, it is quite import ant to have several pastures. This makes it possible to segregate various ages and sexes when nec essary.

Your Life May Depend On Windshield Wiper Raleigh.—You bet your life when you drive without a wind shield wiper, especially in the winter months when there is like ly to be plenty of rain, snow and sleet. Your state Department of Mo tor Vehicles considers the wind shield wiper so important to safe driving that they are making it one of the requirements for pass ing the inspection test, which your car or truck must take this year. The Manual of Motor Vehicle Mechanical Inspection Require ments states that "all motor ve hicles having a windshield shall be equipped with at least one windshield wiper in good work ing order for cleaning rain, snow or other moisture from the wind shield, so as to provide clear vi sion for the driver. All such de vices shall be so constructed and installed as to be operated or controlled by the driver. All mo tor vehicles originally equipped with dual windshield wiper may not in this respect be altered and both are subject to the above standards.” There are the requirements, motorists! It's up to you to see that' your car passes the test. ,If your vehicle has only one wind shield in good s^fe working con dition—that’s fine. But If the vehicle was originally equipped with two, then both of them must work. Accident statistics of the Motor Vehicles Department show . that many accidents have been caused by poor windshield wipers — or ones that would not work in blinding rains and sleet, causing the drivers to lose their course on the highways.. “ "Motorist, did you ever stop to think how important the rear view mirror on your car or truck is to safe driving? If you haven’t thought about it before, now is the time to check on that rear-view mirror, for when the Motor Vehicle Depart ment’s Mechanical Inspection Lanes open this month, one of the requirements for your car’s passing the test is that it must be equipped with such a mirror. The Manual on the Motor Ve hide Mechanical Inspection Re quirements further states that the mirpr "shall be so arranged and in such condition as to present to the driver an unobstructed rear view of the highway.” If your car already has this mirror, all well and good; but make sure it is so arranged that you get a clear view of the road behind you. Rear-view mirrors are an aid to drivers in making turns and also in passing other cars along the highway, and it is highly important, safety officials point out, to use these mirrors at all times, Next week: Thé windshield it self!

Mocksville; North Carolina State College Hints To Farm Homemakers By RVTH CURRENT state Home Demonstratioa Aient Those small Insects—'the weev ils, beetles and meal moths— which get Into cereals and. other dry foods in home cupboards are a famUlar nuisance to the house wife say agricultural entomolo gists. Cereal products alone, discarded from home kitchens because insects are found in them, amount to a huge loss in grain, so critical at the present time. If each family in the United States threw away only 50 cents worth of cereal food each year because of insect infestation,' the loss would total about fifteen million dollars, the entomologists estimate. Every housewife, therefore, can help the grain-saving program as well as the family poeketbook just by keeping her cupboard free of insects. Simple steps for doing this arc; U) Clean all kit chen shelves thoroughly; (2) Spray cupboards with 5% DDT; (3) Inspect all packages of food for insccts; (4) Sterilize food packages in a slow oven (140 de grees F.) for half an hour; 5) keep all food in tightly closed containers. (This will help con trol ants, cockroaches and other insects as well as the pantry pests.) Starve by Cleanline.ss Traces of spilled food an^l par ticles sifted from packages and lodged in cracks and corners of cupboards furnish board for pests. Keeping shelves thoroughly clean is the best way to starve these pests. Kill by Spraying Spray cupboards with 5% DDT solution every few months. Clear out cupboards, wash and dry them, then spray interior surfaces The deposit of fine DDT crystals left after the spray dries will be effective for several months in killing insects that crawl into cupboards. Wait until the spray dries to put packages of food on shelves. Tho dry DDT will not harm food inside packages. But neither will it kill insects already in packages. Examine Dry Foods Insects are in food sometimes when it comes from the store. They may be in flour, meal, cer eals, crackers, breakfast food, macaroni, spaghetti, spices, nut meats, dry milk, chocolate, cocoa, dehydrated food, dried fruits. But these foods are not ruined just because a beetle or moth has crawled in. An occasional insect in flour, for example, may be picked out. and the flour aifted through a fine sieve. Flour or other food should then be steril ized with heat and stored in a clean, tight container. Foods which are heavily infested, how ever, may only t>e used to feed pets or chickens. Storllln by Heat Dry food products can be freed of insect life by heating in the oven at 140 degrees F. for half an hour. Small packages can be heated just as they are, sealed or opened. Contents of larger pack ages should tie spread out on a baking pan so that heat can pen etrate them more rapidly. Store Safely Foods which have been steril ized by heat should be stored promptly in clean metal or glass containers with tight-fitting cov ers. Lard buckets, coffee cans or glass jars make safe containers. NEW AND DID TRUMAN NAVAl AIDS FOLLOWING HIS ASSIGNMENT as naval aide to President Truman, Capt. Robert L.

Stocks of feed grains in all po sitions on January 1, 1948 were relatively small, the Bureau of Agricultural Economies reports. Corn stocks of 1,567 million bush els were 29 per cent less than on January 1, 1947 and 24 per cent less than the average of the pre ceding 4 years. Relatively large stocks of 795 million bushels of wheat were stored in all positions January 1, 1948, despite ncar-rccord disa ppearance since July 1, 1947, ac cording to the USDA. Experiment Station Releases Bulletin “Biology and Control of the Pickleworn” is the title oi a tech nical bulletin just publshed by the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station. Dr. B. B. Fulton, professor of entomology . at„ the. Station . and author of the bulletin, says that there are other pests which limit the production of the curubit crops. But none appear as reg ularly year after year as the plckleworm. The pest has an unusual ability to spread north ward each year, though it kills out during the winter. It also increases in numbers at a very rapid rate during hot weather. The first larvoe of the pest usually appear from July 6 to 18 in tiie Raleigh area, the author states. But in the west and north, it's usually a little later. Cryolite dust has proved to be the best insecticide ot the many materials which have been tested. Dusting should start immediately after the first piekleworms are found. A weekly dusting is sat isfactory,- but a shorter interval gives better control, especially in rainy weather. It the crops are picked just be fore dusting. Dr. Fulton finds that the residue is not serious, except perhaps on small cucum bers. The residue is easily re moved by rain or by washing. Early crops usually escape injury. Fall crops may escape for a time if no early crops are produced nearby. Copies of the bulletin, which is entitled “Biology and Control of the Plckleworm,” are available to the public free on request. Writs to the Agricultural Editor at North Carolina State College, 1947 Was Good Year For Swine Breeding The North Carolina Swine Breeders' Association conducted 16 purebred hog sales during 19* 47 and sold 354 hog.s for $36,> 257, according to Jack Kelley, .Ex tension Swine specialist at State College. . ....................... Mr. Kelley stated that this was quite an increase over the 1946 sales when 136 hogs were sold for $13,174. The highest overage received for purebred hogs during 1947 was obtained by breeders from Forsyth County when they con signed 11 hogs to the national sale at Centerville, Ind, the spec ialist said. These hogs sold for $2,372, or an averoge of $215.63 per head. Plans for next year’s .sales have already been made, Mr. Kelley said, and the list of sales include the following: Berkshire Sale, Southern States Fair Ground at Charlotte, January29; Duroc Sale, Worsley's Livestock Market at Rocky Mount, February 10; All Breed Sale, Benthall’s Livestock Market, Rich Square, February 25; and All Breed Sale, Sawyer's Livestock Market, Elizabeth City, February 26. Not only is the Association planning these sales, Mr. Kelley said but they have set up the foll owing four point program to be carried out this year: improve purebred hogs by production testing; use pasture to prevent worms and diseases; consign only outstanding hogs to purebred sales; and, take part in county and district fat barrow shows.

McQuage .............:................. Publisher SUBSCRIPTION RATES: 93.00 Per Year Inside of Davie Coviity—$2.50 Per Year Outaide of Davie County. Entered at the Post Office at Mocksville, N. C., as Second Class Matter Under Act of Congress» of March 8, 1879 MOCKSVILLE’S GROWTH The coming to Mocksville and Davie county of the P. H. Hanes Knitting company, as announced by company offlcials through R. B. Sanford this week, was Indeed a pjieasant surprise to most of us. To man and woman and child alike, residing in, the towns and rural districts of the county, it means a definite step forward in establishing here in our little world an Industrial development hereto fore unrealized. While sentiment played a large part in the decision of the firm to move here, as explained by Mr. Sanford, it should not be overlooked that a number of employees of the Winston-Salem plant are from around here, and it is to be assumed that their conduct, their working habits, and their stick-to-it-iveness contributed to the firm’s de ciding to employ some more of our Davie county workers. Somebody’s hat should be taken off to them, for many of them have made their marks here in the county and out of it, too, mainly through pure old hard work. Mr. Sanford, dean of Mocksville businessmen, through whom^the announcement was made, had a great deal to do with bringing the Hanes firm here, although he prob ably would take some pushing to admit it. P. H. Hanes Knitting company was approached by the chambers of commerce, civic clubs, and businessmen in many another town, large and small, in this section, Statesville and North Wilkesboro, to name a couple. By his interest in the proj ect, his wanting better things for his town and county, and his diplomacy in dealing with matters of this kind, he made it possible in part for this area to have something that few in these times have available. Our hat’s off to Mister Rufe, too. We know that local businesses will welcome with gusto and enthusiasm the new concern and the things it will bring to us. CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENTS M«thodiit Rev. R.

Last week we told you that each disease Is caused by a del inlte micro-organism that causes thai disease and no other Just like corn is grown from com and chickens are produced from hen eggs. Every case of diplRheria, for instance, comes from another case of diphtheria or from a healthy carrier of the germs. Germs have their own charac teristic manner of leaving a sick person and attacking a well per son. Diphtheria bacillus and germs of other respiratory dis eases are discharged from the nose and mouth by coughing, sneezing and spitting and must enter the body in the same man ner to produce the disease. Ty phoid bacilli are discharged from the intestinal tract in the fecos and urine of a case or carrier and must enter the mouth to cause typhoid. This disease literally comes of takine bowel discharges into the mouth and has never been known to spread in any oth er way, On the other hand, teta nus spores may be freely eaten with carrot from Infested soil without harm; but if they enter the flesh with a splinter, piece of glass or rusty nail they may cause lockjaw and death. We'll have more to say about these peculiar pathogenic organ isms in the future. Remember we are on the job to help you and your family keep well.

NEWS OF FARM CONSERVATION By HOWARD J. WILLIAMS ' New crops arc constantly bcr ing tried to determine their value as a source of farm income, and as plants to be used for erosion control. One of the new plants that has promise of becoming one of the leading pasture grasses in the Piedmont is fescue grass. The two types of fescue grass being tested in Davie county to determine their value for pasture are Kentucky 31 and Alta fescue. The Soil Conservation Service nurseries decided, in order to keep pure seed, to run their ex periments with Kentucky 31, al though the other varieties arc as sumed to bo just as good. Last fall enough Kentucky 31 seed was furnished this county by the Soil Consiervation Service nursery to plant five acrlis as seed plots. The one requirement of the farmer that was furnished this seed was to agree to save seed the first year, either for in creased acreage on his own farni or for sale to get more seed avail able in this locality. Several fann ers in the county bought cither Kentucky or Alta fescue to try out on their own farms, The fescue grasses stay green the year round and where given good treatment, by that I mean liberal fertilixing and good land preparation before planting, pro vide some winter grazing. The grass makes seed in June and should be mowed after seed has been saved to insure now growth that is more palatable. If the grass was planted early and has made a good growth it can be grazed moderately in the month of February. Stock should be removed by the first ot March and a heavy application of nitro genous fertilizer put on to stim ulate growth and seed produc tion. ■ . ; y In tests this grass has dune well with ladino clover and other le gumes. It should become a very useful grass that will be an addi tion to rather than a substitute for other useful pasture grasses.

Schools Reimbursed For Lunches in Davie According to an announcement received by Curtis Price, super intendent of schools, from Mrs. Anne W. Maley, supervisor of the school lunch program, all schools serving lunches under the Federal program will receive an increase in reimbursement be. ginning as of February 1. This prospective increase in re imbursement will be good news to schools in Davie county since most of them were having diffi culty in making ends meet. The schools are now receiving 5c re imbursement on each full lunch served daily. The increased reim bursement will add irom Ic to 2c to the present reimbursement. Mr. Price states that other than the Sc per lunch received from the federal government, the lunch rooms have received through the superintendent’s of fice many surplus food commod ities such as dried fruits, pota toes and canned tomatoes. The steel industry’s coke ii. produced in 16 states. Snow Paralyzes Most of Davie Mocksville and the rest of Davie county and most of the state dug out of the heaviest snowfall siif'ce about 1939 this Tuesday anfl Wednesday, and most townspeople felt rather foolish doing it, because weath er observers predicted no re lief in sight and' it was indi cated that another snowfall was on the way. In addition to all the snow, a fierce cutting wind added to the misery, and the mercury dropped to temperatures below the twenties. Farmers were snowbound, many businesess failed to open their doors, and people generally stayed home. Lt. Marjorie Call Goes To Okinawa First Lieutenant Marjorie Call, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. M.

YOURШEALTH \ m m m By CARL E. SHELL ' We have told you in the past about the advantages to be had in our Maternity and Infant Clin ics held each month by doctors from the Bowman Grey School of Medicine who are specializing in obstetrics and ¿ediatrics. In spite of bad weather 20 Da vie county women took advan tage of this free service during the month of January. Tije reason w^ keep urging you tu piotfct yourj health and that of your childreri is because more than 5,000 die annually in North Carolina beforej they reach the age of one yea^. Two-thirds of them die before they are two weeks old. Thai means that in a five year period, we lose more infants than the entire population of Davie county. Nearly 300 North Carolina mothers sacrifice their lives each year during child birth. Accord ing to authorities about 90 per cent of these deaths could be pre vented. Why do you continue to take unnecessary chances with your own life and the future wel fare of your child? If you are expecting a ЪаЬу, go to your family jdoctor or come to our clinic an^ let us help you safeguard your future health and happiness.'

Ratio of Timber Drain And Growth Gets Better By F. E. PEEBLES, County Agent The word "drain” means the volume of timber taken from our forests, whether for use, or as a result of destruction by fire, in sects, disease, windfall and so on. The following report is fur nished by the United States For. est Service surveys for tl^ pe riods 1909-18, 1925-29, 1936 and 1944, The total drain of all timber has gone down from 26,049 mil lion cubic feet in 1909-18 to 13,661 million cubic feet in 1944. This decrease was approximately one- half. At the same time, reported growth has Increased from 5,995 million cubic feet in 1909-18 to 13,370 million cubic feet in 1944. This is due largely tu three fac tors; 1. Replacement of static old growth forests by rapidly growr ing young trees. 2. Improved forest manage ment. 3. Reduction of fire losses. ALL TIMBER The drain of all timber for the period 1909-18 was 4,34 times tlie growth, while, in 1944, drain was only 1,02 times the growth. The drain would have been less in 1944 survey if there had not been such heavy demands during that year of war. SAWTIMBER Estimatedi growth of sawtim- ber- for the, period-.1909<18 was 9,672 million board feet, while, for 1944, it was 35,301 million board feet, which is nearly four times as mu/ch.

HOME DEMONSTRATION WORK OUTLINED AT ROTARY MEETING Miss Florence Mackie, veteran of 12 years of home demonstra tion work in Davie county, Tues day told Rotarians of the work being done by her organization. Miss Mackie was introducM by Dr. Lester Martin. She described work being done in the 13 home demonstration clubs and the sev en 4-H clubs throughout the county and stressed their_ work ing hand in hand for the better ment of farm life. “Everything is planned ahead for us,” Miss Mackie explained. “We would have run out of ideas long ago were it not for the ex tension service at State college. They give us new ideas, tell us of new fabrics, materials, foods, and so on, and our job is to dis seminate this information to the farm men and women.” Describing the various com munity projects now going on in the county and recalling the proj ects already completed from year to year. Miss Mackie cited the work of the Fork club. “In a little trip around the county, we can see just what these clubs are doing to better themselves. At Fork, for instance, their community building has been established from almost nothing and built to the extent that it is now one of the best to be found anywhere. They have painted, remodeled, decorated, hung draperies, and generally re- uaired it so that it will-furnish a more than suitable place for young people and old to comc and enjoy themselves, particular ly in weather like this. "The Advancc club took an old school building and remodeled it and they plan to completely do over their recreation hall this year. They have also established an emergency loan kit for emer gency medical use, with doctors so far away and telephones still a new thing in that section. "At Dulins, nine women orlg. inally started the club and made themselves a clubhouse. At Pino a colored club was organized and is doing very well now. All of these operations have been under the sponsorship and help of the home demonstration agent here, "As fo r Mocksville,” Miss Mackie concluded, "we work closely with the home economics department at the high school and have made available to them over recent yean all kinds of kitchen equipment, an electric stove, and 'Other itc^mi."

Congressman Deane Opposes Income Tax Cut Washington, D, C.—Income tax cuts were opposed for the third time since opening of the 0th Congress by Rep, C, B, Deane, Eighth North Carolina district, when he voted "no" on a $6</2 billion income tax slash. Despite Deane’s opposition, the measure passed by a vote of 297 to 120, when 63 other Democrats joined Republicans to give a 19- vote margin over tlio two-thirds majority necessary to overcome a possible veto. The two previous, measures failed to obtain the needed majority after being ve toed by President Triiman. In opposing the new bill,' now ready for senate action, Deane protested a measure which would increase personal exemptions irom $500 to $000 and grant grad uated income tax cuts ranging from 30 per cent on $1,000 of net income or less, to 10 percent in higher Income brackets. Seven ty-two percent of tiiis tax relief would benefit low income earners.

Poultrymen Have To Know Best Time To Buy Chicks One of the greatest problems of the producer of market eggs, says Professor R, S. Dearstjrne, head of the Poultry department at State College, is buying chicks ot a time that will give him eggs in the late summer and produce during the season of high prices with a minimum chance of au tumn neck molt.* Usually fueh chicks live better and grow (aster than late hatched ehieki, Prof. Oearstyne said, pro* viding there is good breeding in back of the chicks and careful management is practiced. Generally speaking, he said, the American breeds hatchcd from March 1 to 15 should give the do- f sired results. Leghorns hatchcd from March 15 to April 15 should produce early eggs with a min imum chance of mult. Orders should bo placed at once by those desiring such chicks, Prof, Dearstyne said, because many of the hatcheries arc book ed far in advance.

Cattle and calf slaughter in 1947 was the grontest on record and is larger than in 1946. Tho unusually large slaughter reduced the number of cattle on farms. Slaughter in 1948 probably will oc less than last year. Relatively large stocks of 795 million bushels of wheat were stored in alt positions January 1, 1948, despite near-record dis appearance since July 1, 1847, Rye stocks of 14,4 million bush els, though relatively small, were larger than on January 1 in th« 2 preceding years, according to BAE. HARVESTING THEIR OWN HAY—That’s just what these cows are doing. And not only do they like it, but time and money are saved by Cecil Leagans, their owner. In the above photo graph Mr. Leagans is shown pointing out some of tho advan- It’s all in the way you look atv it. Cocil Leagans’ father was a good farmer, but didn't have mucii* to show for it, Cecil is a good farmer and has plenty to show for it. He claims the dif ference lies in conservation, "For 25 years,” Cecil e.\-pl!iined, "my father rented this same farm and farmed several rented places before moving here. He was loolccd upon as a good farmer, and was good by comparison with others, 1 can look back now and see where he failed. The reason I am sure is that 1 have only recently learned to avoid the mistakes \Ve used to make," THE DIFFERENCE Cecil says he made a plan in 1941 or^thereabout. He bargained for the farm in 1040 and got help from the Soil Conservation Serv ice to make a plan as soon as pos sible, "I wanted it all laid out before mo so I could see where I’m going and how to get there. This plan was what I needed, "My father didn't have a chance for a Soil Conservation district plan as a pattern fur his farming. Ih that. In my opinion, lies the difference." Th« rows of the senior Mr. Leagans ran over the hills. Ce cil’s "rows run around the hills. Then, too, Cecil in his way of farming has as few rows os pos sible. “The straight rows I was taught as a boy to lay off caused a lot of damage to the land," Cecil said. “The high 'places in the field where you could already see the red subsoil got too little mois ture. The low places often got too much and sometimes drowned.” The father made 20 bushels of wheat to the acre, 40 bushels ot corn, 35 bushels of barley, and 30 bushels of oats, “Except for wheat, I nuide a little more than double all these yields now," Cecil says. Whether tho. lack of a pattern for saving the soil and moisture made all the difference, we don’t know, Cecil says so, but looking around wo find a lot of ingenious contrivances tor saving. labor. Those lubor-snving devices aro at least helping to do the job with a minimum effort, Cecil admits these are impor tant, but sticks to his story that they are still incidental, “They just make it easier for me to roach the goal,” he says. “They are just the means to an end— the end that’s laid out in my plan.” BETTER THAN MUSCLES Cecil uses his head wherever it can be substituted for the toil which brings sweat to the brow, and often aches to the back. Some of Cecil's contrivances are home-made and of hii own design. He and a neighbor built together a big trailer which takes chopped hay to the barn. An other machine picks it up and chops it. In the grain storage house is an elevator. A manure loader takes mo.st of the work out of this job. At the barn lié has installed a hay dryer, “I like to halt cure tlie hay in the field," he ex plained, "but once I took some in while it was raining, and it took care of it all right." Rain or shine, Cecil will not only make hay, but cure it. Alfalfa, planted on Uinci suited to alfalfa, furnished hay for 5 to 6 years from one planting. The father depended more on "fodder pulling" and grain straw for his livestock forage. The son make.s hay and makes it cheaply. ' IS PASTURE MINDED The hay Cecil makes is with a pretty small effort or cost. Still he is getting as tar away as Ike can from that. “I want my cows to gather their own feed,” he said. "In the future 1 will depend less on grain and hay—more on pas ture.” He showed us some of his or chard grass and Ladino clover pasture. As he explained once to Howard Williams (Oavie coun ty representative of the Soil Con. aervatlon Service) tho «od holds up the cows so they don’t damage the land much when it’s wet. In this case the cows do the labor saving. Cecil hires a boy to ride the combine during grain or lespe- deza seed harvest. That is all the outside labor he needs at present. At first he started out with 12 cows, now he has 42 cows—most ly Guernseys. The Leagans have 340 laying hens. The day before we were there Mrs. Leagans gathered 240 eggs. Ye.s, we said Mrs. Leagans. We didn’t actually confront Cecil with a suggestion, but, after all, she may be some of the power behind the power that makes con servation perform on the Leagans farm. They would probably both call it a p.irtnership, and that is just about what it is. Call it what you will, it's paid off. The farm was fully paid for in five years. Since then 50 acres of adjoining land have been bought and added to the unit, and all the labor saving machinery and extra cows. Yes, the Leagans are doing right well—thank you. This plan which Cecil says is, all for conservation works to the advantage of the land. The land works to the ad vantage of Cecil—probably they all work to the advantage gf Mra.

New Iiupection Lanes Open February 16 Raleigh.—The Department of Motor Vehicles announced today that it would open additional me chanical inspection lanes in ten North Carolina towns on Feb. 18. The towns arc Asheville, Tay lorsville and Davidson in Zone 1; Salisbury, Concord, Reidsville and Sanford, in Zone 2; and Wel don, Henderson and Warsaw in Zone 3. Arthur T. Moore, head of the inspection division, said the lanes and testing equipment would be set up in these places around Feb ruary 9, and that garage and re pair men and mechanics in each area would bo invited to see the equipment demonstrated. How. ever, the lanes will not be open to'the public until February 10. Moore had hoped to be able lo open the lanes earlier, but bad weather conditions have inter vened. Other lanes will he es tablished just as soon as addition al testing equipment can be de livered. The inspection program calls for the establishment of 40 lanes. At present lanes are operating in Raleigh, Durham, Elizabeth City, Greenville, Wilmington, High Point, - Greensboro, Fayetteville, Charlotte, Gastonia, Fort Bragg, and Winston-Salem, The lanes to open on February 16 are the first to be set up in the western part of the siate. IT PATS TO *OVl«TUS МОШС ABOCT Timber Drain riod 1909.11 waa S.l tiniM growth, and it was only 1.53 times growth in 1044. All timber losses by Ure. and other causes, such as insecta, dis ease, and windfall in the four sur veys from 1909 to 1944 were de creased more than half. ‘ In 1030 there were only 400 for esters employed by private in dustry, but the figure was more than 2,000 in 1047. What do all of these rates, etc., mean? I think they mean that farmers as a whole aro begin ning to realize that their timber lands deserve more and better treatment, and many thousands of acres are receiving such treat ment. Substitutes are replacing much lumber in building programs. However, the time is a long way off when it will not be profitable to take care of our woods. Good management applies to forestry just as it does to dairy ing or any other type of farm ing. A dairyman would not think of selling one of his best milk producers for beef when he could get close to the same price for a cull. Good, straight, fast grow ing trees should not bej;ulled for wood, when a slow growing, crooked tree would answer the purpose. Approximately 200 species of earthworms are found in Aus- trciilia.

The meeting was called to order by the presl. dent, Bill Collette. Song Leader Colean Smith led the group in singing "This Little 4-H Light of Mine.” To get started with a bit of nonsoAse, Betty Honeycutt gave a humorous reading,, "The Definition of a Boy.” The presi dent then called on the secre tary, Ruth Allen, to read the min. utes of the preceding meeting, after which the roil was called. There was no old business. The new business to be transacted was, “What we as 4-H club mem bers can do to hid the European situation." As there was no further busi ness the meeting was turned over to the program chairmmi, Nancy Durham. The topic ^f the pro gram was “4-H Opportunities for Boys and Girls."

Conversation By Bill Dryden Yes, It’s a good long while since we’ve cluttered up the paper this way, but the thought occurred the other day that there were a few things round and about here that needed commenting on. One of them is the local bas ketball bunch from the high school. Boy, those boys and girls wore really hot Friday nighti Ex citement and nerves were at such a high pitch that any attempts at conversation were virtually im possible. The girls' game was probably the more exciting be. cause the teams seemed to be more evently matched. Advance's quintet was centered around one girl who must have been at least six feet tall and who on several xiccasion.s sidled up to the hoop and, stretching just a little bit, rolled the ball neatly oven the rim. That sounds as If the score should have been much more than it really was, but Moeksville's girls, fighting for all they were worth, which was plenty that night, kept right on Advance's tail to wind it up 30 to 30. Forwards Carolyn Craven, Nancy Latham and Ella Mae Leo nard, moving like lightning, kept the score just two or-threo points, and sometimes only one, ahead ot the opposition. Carolyn and Ella Mac, both seniors, are winding up four successful seasons as hoop- sters. Nancy, a freshman, comes by Kood basketball naturally, no doubt from watching big broth ers Sam and Jim. Substitute for ward Luella Ferebee did some remarkable maneuvei-ing ¡igainst Advance, too. Forward Dot Shore was missed by her teammates due to illness Friday night. Guards Hazel Sofloy, Nan Bow den, and Shirley Shell had no small part in the victory. Be- eause of the two-court rules In girls' basketball it often appears to the spectator as if the guards were at a rest camp while the forwards latch on to the ball and pile up the points. Hazel, a ju nior, can always bo countod upon to bewilder her opponent with her fast moving and tlie windmill motion of her arms. Nan, a freshman, also profits from point ers from basketballing brothers. A sophomore, Shirley Shell is see ing quite a bit ot action this year. Credit for heada-up playing ii due to Sarah Dot Call 'and Mil dred Rice, sophomore and junior respectively, whoso outstanding playing against Advance may In sure them regular positions In future seasons. The boys’ game, secure from the beginning, was none the less thrilling. Every iMocksvllle play er saw action as the regulars, Grady Dunn, Bill Collette, Rich, ard Foster, seniors, and Bill Vick and John Graham Williard, ju niors, piled up a margin of safety tor them. Perhaps the Collette- Vick combination is Coach Boose’s stronghold in tho face of real competition. Against Advance, however, these boys hardly got more than started when the sub stitutions began. Collette account ed for six tallies while the Vick boy, called “Choo-Choo" by his teammates, was responsible tor nine counters. Grady chalked up four for his side and Richard added two. Substitutes Earl Hen dricks, senior and veteran foot baller, and a pair of Boger boys, both juniors, as well as Brown and Angell, turned in steady per formances. Turner “Skeeter" Am mons, freshman, showed good co ordination and basketball poten tialities when given the "cease- benchwarming" signal. Missing from the line-up was Von Shel ton, junior regular, wh^ broke his hand in play last week. Naturally, with all this talent pitted against Advance, with whom Mocksville usually Ukei a good scrap, the fans went wild, as the Mying goe*. Any new. comer entering the gym had his eardrums neatly split by a pierc ing shriek, the sound of the on lookers working themselves up Into a state of frenzy over their respective teams and players. The shrill whistles of the referees or tmiplres or whatever th ^ call them (we never played basket ball) always seemed to blast out just when the mob was quiet— almost quiet enough to hear an anvil drop, anyway. One memorable thing about the game occurred once when Bill Vick gained the ball and was drib bling for all he was worth, straight toward his goal — and crowded all the way by an A,{i- vanee played Aside from that opposition, he was in the clear. As he got almost to the basket, the boy giving him trouble seemed to give him a push and Vick smashed into the end wall before he could get poised for a shot. He hit that wall with a terrible SMACK! but seemed none the worse for it latei- on. By the time he hit the wall, tho rest of the players and the roforoos, Gor don Tomlinson and Rod Hartman, wore there to see it happen, and the Advance man left the c#lu't, by I'oquest, as if he'd been shot from a cannon. Well, that's about all we had to say, except that if you haven't seen a game this year, maybe you’d better come out and enjoy yourself, because it's real fun just to watch!

SOIL CONSERVATION CHIEF REPORTS NEW RECORD IS ESTABLISHED A new record oi completing conservation treatment on more than 20 million acres despite lack of personnel for giving adequate assistance to all farmer-operated soil conservation districts request ing it during the 1947 fiscal year has been reported by Chief H. N. Bennett of the Soil Conserva tion Service. "The increasing cooperative efforts of the farmers working in districts,” Dr. Bennett said, “to gether with the greater experi ment and efficiency of service technicians made it possible to in crease the amount of conserva tion put on the land without sac rificing quality.” Dr. Bennett's report showed that tho 126,970 conservation farm plans prepared in the 1946-47 year of farmers and service tcclini- cians brought to 510,115 the plans in soil conservation districts alone, covering 142,074,155 acres, of which. 70,272,575 have boon treated. Dr. Bennett emphasized the economy and profitableness! of this soil conservation woric A service cost ot only $1.63 an acre for complete soil conservation surveys, planning and land treat ment in 1947, with tho farmers themselves bearirig the principal expense over a series of years. The report called attention to between 425 and 455 million acres of crop-land being damaged in varying degrees by erosion and needing treatment in the next 10 to 30 years, and to additional mil. lions of acrcs of rJilge and pas ture land conservation treatment needed. ■ Creation of new districts at the rate of about 250 a year, plus steadily increasing demand for soil conservation assistance by both old and new districts, Dr. Bennett said, prevented tho serv ice’s liniited technical personnel from keeping up with tho de mand in some districts during tho year, although less tlian 6 per cent of its employees are occu pied in administrative jobs. “We c£\n look back on the con crete accomplishments with r great deal of satisfaction,” Chief Bennett said, “But, more impor tant, we can look forward to tho future with hope. We know now that wo have a nation-wide pro gram of soil conservation that works—a program that is getting the right kind of permanent con servation on the land at an ever- increasing rate. What is needed is full national decision to go ahead.” Th« Jltttrbug Tap IT FAVS TO AOVEBTISE DANCING instructors Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Hanf of Toledo, 0„ demonstrate something new for the younger set at the annual meting in Chicago of the National Association of Dancing Masters.

The speaker was introduced by Bill Pennington at the behest of John LeGrand, program chair man. President Dave Rankin presided at the meeting and guests were Mr. Erwin and Carl Newsom of Charlotte.

Frank Doggett, Extension Soil Conservationist at State College. Mr. Doggett stated that the district contests will be held on March 19, which will be preceded by the county contests on March 12, and the school contests, March 5. More than 5,000 contestants are expected to take part In the contest, Mr. Doggett said, adding that these contestants will come from virtually every county in the state. The contest is being sponsored by the North Carolina Bankers Association and is the first time that nigh gchoot >tu* (Continued m P H « •> An adequate supply of clear, safe, sparkling water is essential to the health, welfare and happi ness of every member of the community. Since the average citizen has no means of deter mining the safety of his water supply, 1» is necessary that every reasonable precaution be taken to safeguard this vital necessity against all possible sources of pollution or contamination. The time to protect a water supply from dangerous disease organisms or just plain filth is at the time of construction. Fre quently the Santitarion with the local Health Department received calls to “come out and tell me what to do about my well.” In spection reveals that the well has neither been properly located nor protected against ordinary sur face water. Protection of a well Is expen sive after it has been closed up with a concrete slab; but a few dollars properly spent at time of construction would provide reasonable protection against oil sources of pollution. You certainly want your fam ily water supply to be safe. If you have any doubts whatever about it, come in to the Health Department and let us help you. If you: plan -a new well, you should certainly have our bulle tin on “Protection of a Private Water Supply” before you even pick a location.

Gobble, near Ijames Cross Roads, has applied lime and manure to an area that he Is pre paring to seed to a permanent pasture mixture of orchard gross and ladino clover this spring. Mr. Gobble plans to add more ter races, follow systematic crop ro tations, and clear some woodland for additional pasture on his farm. Many farmers plan to have sdll samples made on their farms to determine the .type and omount of fertilizer and the omount of lime needed to give best results on their fields. It is time for farmers to make plans for adding fertilizer to their alfalfa and pasture land. A gen eral recommendation for ferti lizing alfalfa, or a good legume pasture is an application of 400- 500 pounds 0-12-12 topUresser annually. Paul Blackwelder, manager of Twin-Brook farm, has thinned several acres of pines this win ter. Mr. Blackwelder has ordered 8000 pine seedlings that are to be planted in cut-over woodland and idle land. By putting these areas back into production, he is turn ing idle acres into a future source of income. Fish pond owners will soon be applying fertilizer to their ponds. A fertilized pond will produce twice as much fish as an unfer tilized pond. The recommenda- tiong are 100 pounds of 8-8-4 per acre of water per application. By*F. E. PEEBLES County Agent The dairy artificial breeding program is growing in Davie. Ninety-one cows were bred (first service), during the month of January. First three months’ re sults were 62.98 per cent con ception on first services. This is better than average. On February 1, the Davie County Cooperative Breeders’ as sociation began using Guernsey and Holstein semen from the Southeastern Artificial Breeding association stud, which is located near Asheville. That association furnished us with Jersey semen during January.' Yes, the program is doing well, but it has a long way to go be fore its size is whot it should be. New users of the services are coming In, but not as mony as should. Dairy experts throughout the South hove said that Dovle coun ty is now using semen from some of the finest bulls that can be found In the notion. Some of the farmers hove an Idea that they hove to be big dairymen In order to use this service. Your county agent re ports thot this service Is avail able to every farmer in Dovle county even though he only has one dairy cow. Outstanding. Jersey; Guernsey and Holstein bulls are listed. The overage number of daughters’ records Is shown along with the same Information on the dams. Records of the doughters show the ability of the bulls to trans mit Increased production over that of the dams. This proves the bulls to be good. The County Agent’s office has complete pedigrees of the bulls used. We ore including the bulls, their dams and sires.

Motor Inspection Rules Require Clear Windshield (Editor’s note: This is the sixth in a series of articles explaining the requirements that all motor vehicles must meet to pass the State's new mechanical inspec tion program, which becomes ef fective this month. Today's arti cle deals with tho requirements for the windshield.) Raleigh.—Any motorist who blinds himself with windshield sticlcers, fox tails and other use less gadgets is betting his life and he is also betting that his car will fail its mechanical in spection test. According to the Manual of Mo tor Vehicle Mechanical Inspection Requirements, "all vehicles orig inally equipped with approved safety glass may not in this re spect be altered. Windshield shall be completely clear of posters, stickers or other non-transport materials except as required by law and shall be free from breaks, cracks, or discoloration, which will impair the driver’s vi sion or in any way create a haz ard. If your windshield is broken or crackcd, and is pasted together with non-transparent adhesive tape, better do something about it. For such materiaJs obscure tho view of the driver ,and may keep him from seeing vehicles approaching from the side. If your windshield has a slight crack in it, and you don’t want to buy a new onp, make sure to purchase some transparent tape, so this particular part of the ve hicle will "pass the test.’’ ’ CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENTS Methodist Rev.

Check Farm Equipment To Avoid Accidents The condition and operation ot the hundreds of tractors with plows, cultivators, discs and plant ers which Tar Heel farmers will be using during the spring plant ing season will be an important factor in determining the 1948 farm work accident toll, accord ing to H. M. Ellis, in charge of Agriculture Engineering for the State College Extension Service. Every farmer akould make preparations for safe and effic ient machinery operation Mr. Ellis said. See that all farm equipment is thoroughly checked before field work starts. Defective hitches, seats, clutches, wheels, brakes, steering and unguarded gears, chains or shafts mean accidents can take free reign. Equipment that does not operate properly is irritating and fatiguing to the operator. It helps reduce his alertness and increases tlie temp tation to take chances. Well con ditioned machinery saves time and costly field breakdowns and makes farm work easier, Mr. Ell is declared. The National Safety Council points out that careful operators will also take time to equip trac tors with fire extinguishers and provide secure holders for grease guns or other servicing tools carr ied on a tractor. Loose accessories on tractors may cause falls or other casualties. Provide a se cure step or grab bar if it is easy to slip getting on or off your tractor. Mr. Ellis also advises a careful check of the fuel lines and the fuel servicing equipment. A leak ing hose or valve can easily lead to a costly fire, he said. If the fuel supply is too close to farm buildings for safety, take time to move it before the start of spring work.

The United States Department of Agriculture esti mates that insects cause the loss of at least 5 per cent of stored grain and cereal products every year. Rodents destroy another 4 per cent., according to reliable estimates. When translated into money, these losses represent $350,000,000 worth of stored grains annually at 1945 prices and rats and mice account lor an other $200,000,000 worth. Appointed to New Post With Extension Service The appointemnt of Howard M, Ellis, a native of Beaufort County, to head of the Agricultural En gineering department for the State College Extension Service, was announced this week by Di rector I, O. Schaub'. Mr. Ellis, who has served for the past 11 years as Extension Agricultural Engineering special ist at the college replaces David S. Weaver, who resigned to ac cept a position as assistant di rector of tho Extension Service. A 1929 graduate of State Coll ege, Mr. Ellis received his B. S. degree in Civil Engineering. Foll owing four years of work with the Engineering Department of the Empire Oil and Refining Com pany in Barlctsville, Okla., he returned to State College, and in 1934 he was awarded a B. S. de gree in Sanitary Engineering. While working for this degree, he served on thé teaching staff of the Civil Engineering depart ment. In 1934, Mr. Ellis accepted a position with the Soil Conser vation Scrvice as an assistant Ag ricultural Engineer. He resigned this position the following year to become compliance supervisor for AAA. He was appointed as Agricultural Engineering spec ialist for the State College Ex tension Service in 1936, a posit ion which he has held until his recent promotion. Mr. Ellis is a member of the Hillyer Memorial Christian Church, tiie American Society of Agricultural Engineers, Tau Beta Pi, Phi Kappa Phi, Theat Tau, and the N. C. State College Al umni Club. He is married to the former Miss Jessie W. Wicker of Graham ,and has one son.

Stephen, Extension Beekeeper at State College. Before placing a new queen in a new home tlie old queen and all queen cclls must be removed. The small cage con taining the queen should be plac ed above the cluster of bees, or between two frames of comb so that worker bees, may have easy access to the candy-filled cage entrance. It is assumed that dur ing liberation bperation the queen takes on the regular colony odors, and therefore, will be ac cepted. After introduction, a week should elapse before the hive is reopened and the queen cage removed. If a queen that is to be replaced cannot be located by looking through hive frames, tho bees may bo run from one brood cham ber through a queen excluder in to another brood chamber with the use of smoke and the queen located in this manner. If tho queen is still not located and if freshly laid eggs are not already in the hive, a frame of comb containing eggs from another hive may be inserted. Within twenty-four hours bees should be gin converting worker cells into queen cells if a queen is not pres ent. If queen cells are not start ed one may safely assume that a queen is present. In recent months, a larger pro portion of m Ik has gone into whole milk uses than a year ear lier. In December, butter pro duction was 18 per cent less than a year earlier and the lowest for the month since 1920. Margarine output passed .|hat of butter for the first time^in November. , I Q. What causes hens to start eating eggs, and how can this be remedied? A. Egg eating may get started in a flock as a result of poor feed ing and management practices. Thin shell eggs that get broken easily usually start an outbreak of egg eating in a flock. At first signs of this trouble, check to see that the birds are having ac cess to plenty of clean oyster shell or limestone grit, and direct sunshine or an adequate supply of cod liver oil or other sources of Vitamin D. In order to make thick, strong egg shells a bird must get plenty of lime in the form of ground limestone in the mash, or in the form of oyster shell or limestone grit from hopp ers, combined with Vitamin D, A shortage of either lime or Vit amin D will result in the produc tion of thin shell eggs. Other means of preventing or checking the egg eating habit are: Provide at least one nest for each five hens. Darken the nests. Use plenty of clean nest litter. Gath er the eggs several times a day. Feed milk in some form, if avail- Top Prices Paid At Fat Hog Shows An average of $27.04 per hun dred pounds was paid to North Carolina hog growers who exhib ited and sold thei rhogs in the Fat Hog Shows held in the state last year, says Jack Kelley, ex tension swine specialist at State college. Mr. Kelley stated that seven shows were held in the following cities: Rocky Mount, Kinston, Smithfield, Lumberton, Elizabeth City, Williamston, and High Point. able. Prevent the production of thin shelled eggs in the summer by keeping the house as cool as possible. Farmers exhibited and sold 42T hogs at these shows, he stated. The hogs weighed 97,953 pounds and sold for $25,451.69. The highest price paid for any hog in either of the shows was at Smithfield when the gran^ cham pion of the ‘S how sold for $1.20 per pound. Second highest price $1.15 per pound, was paid for the grand champion at the Rocky Mount show. Five of the seven grand cham pions were shown by 4-H club members, 1 by an adult and 1 by an FFA member, Mr. Kelley said.

Issues Warning Against Illegal Corn Dealings A warning against the use of illegal measures in the purchase and sale of corn has been issued by C. D. Baucom, superintendent of the Weights and Measures Di vision of the State Department of Agriculture, Under North Carolina law, Baucom .said, corn may be legal ly bought and sold only on the basis of the bushel measure when shelled, or by weight when un- shelled. He also said the law stipulates that a bushel of shell ed corn shall weigh 56 pounds. Some corn buyers have been reported as making offers for un- shucked corn on the basis that 81 pounds is equivalent to a bush el of shelled grain. Sales on such a basis usually moan a loss to the farmer, Baucom 'said, as almost any kind of corn will shell out more than a bushel of grain from 01 pounds in the shuck. “It is unlawful,” he continued.

During January of last year, 587 licenses were revoked for driving drunk. Revocations and suspensions processed during January totaled 1,287. That figure included 67 persons caught driving drunk outside the state; 80 driving drunk and misceliuneous; 24 driv ing after license had been re voked; and 31 for transporting liquor. Thirty persons lost their driv ing privileges for speeding over 75 miles per hour; 13 for larceny of automobile; 10 for improper use of operator's license; 8 for two offenses of reckless driving; and 3 for failure to comply witii the financiaj responsibility act. Tills act requires that persons in volved in accidents of more than $50 property damage must pay off damages in such accidents or their driver's licenses will be sus' pended until such time as they, do pay. During the month, 334 persons were convicted of reckless driv ing; however reckless driving re quires no revocation or suspen sion on first offense. Speeding violations during January totaled 3,514, more than three times the 1,045 convicted of this offense in January of last year. Other traffic violations not requiring revocation or suspen sion on first offense were; fail' ing to have driver’s license, 1,003; faulty equipment on vehicle.s, 931; improper lights, 662; run ning through red light, 493; fail ing to stop when entering high way, 87. Navy Has New Barge That Walks On Mud Washington.—A landing barge that can ".walk” across soft snow, mud and bogs with CO tons of men and equipment has been de veloped by the Navy, which says ■t resembles a frog humping it- ■iclf cautiously forward as it goes over the soft terrain. “This maeliine looks like some thing we might have imported from the planet Mars,” said Rear Admiral J. J. Manning, chief of the bureau of yards and docks. “And it can walk through a mud flat that would scare a muskrat. What’s more, the barge can pro pel it.solf in open water, push it self through surf, and then climb upon a soft beach.” I "to buy corn by the stand, basket, barrel, tub or hamper. Any per son who buys corn by a mesure which shells out more, than the quantity represented by said mea sure Is guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by fine or imprison ment or both. “Unfortunately the victims of illegal corn deals usually are tenant farmers, who can least af ford a loss on their product.. But the matter goes even further, for when a tenant sells corn on a short-measure basis, is may mean the landlord also will take a loss on the portion of the crop to which he is entitled. The fair and legal basis for transactions involving shelled corn is by the bushel weighing 50 pounds. When unshucked or on the cob, corn should be sold by weight with out reference to how much the shelled grain will measure.” Citrine, although not as hard as topaz, is said to be more dura ble.

As a taxpayer, when I walk through the eourthouM and ue the Interest that has been taken In the preservation of the prop erty that belongs to the citizens of Davie county, 1 am proud of the gentlemen whom we have on the board of commissioners. The citizens^ of Davie county should and they do command the board of commissioners for look ing after and taking care of their property. The taxpayers of Da vie county, in my opinion, do not object to paying taxes when they can see the money being used for a good purpose. I, for one, can say go ahead and use your own good judgment In the future as you have in the past as to the handling of the taxpayers’ money. 1 do not be lieve we have a citizen in Davie county that needs to be afraid to trust the gentlemen that are now on the board of commissioners with your money, for they in my opinion will spend it wisely. 1 would hesitate to closc this article without congratulating Mr. Clarence James and his force for the nice and efficient job they have done on the court house from the roof to the gruond. Thanks one and all that had any part in the repairing and repainting of the courthouse. Hurrah for Davlel A Taxpayer, T .A. VANZANT. Out ot Businesa The last of the famous honey- cake shops of Taban, Old World quarter of Budapest, closed Its doors just prior to the war. These shops formerly supplied ediSle cradles. Infants, hussaiij, swords, rosaries, and "kisses" to village and county fairs. Diamonds arc mentioned in the first written records of mankind. IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE Egg-Feed Ratio Is at Low Level The lowest egg-feed ratio ever recorded for December was exist ing^ In December 1947, according to C. Brice Ratchford, ih charge of Farm Management for the State College Extension Service. The egg-feed ratio is a ratio of price of eggs as compared with price of feed, Mr. Ratchford said. The lower the ratio is, the higher the price of feed in relation to prices of eggs. It is expected that the egg-feed ratio will continue low at least until spring, when esUmates for the 1948 grain crop are avail able, the specialist said. If, at that time, a large feed crop Is pre-1 dieted, the ratio should hlse, he. added. | Despite higher feed costs, egg prices are not likely to rise, he said. At present, egg prices are only 96 per cent of parity or 3 per cent above support level. At the same time, feed prlcea are well aiwve 100 per cent or parity. The poultry Industry has made real progress in .I^orth Carolina during the last 10 yean, Mr. Ratchford said. Poultry Is nor mally ■ good enterprise for Tar Heei farmers, as there are ready markets, and poultry fits in well on small farms. Tor these and other .reasons, North Carolina needs to maintain her'poultry- industry. The situation should Improve within a few months or in a year at the latest. ‘ Farmers who are losing money cannot stay in the business, but those who are making a little money and keeping their poultry will be able to realize more profit when the situation does improve, he said. Fewer livestock on farms and smaller feed grain supplies will mean less meat in 1948.

Experiment Station Releases Findings “Research and Farming," the North Carolina Agricullural Ex periment Station's 09th annual rept>rt, is now rt'ady for distri bution to I'esidents of the slate who request it, says Dr. L. D. Baver, dii-ector of the station. Bound in an atti'activu buff and cliocolate brown covcr, the report contains 140 pagu.s of information concerning the most recent find ings of the expei'iment station. Subject matter ranges from pre venting tobacco barn fires to tlie proven value of winter cover crops, Tlie booklet is almost twice as large as previous annual reports, mainly because of its wide .use of pictures and charts. The page size has been enlarged to permit the use of larger pictures and close-ups. Typical of the Information con tained in “Research and Farm ing" is the report on the sweet potato vlne-row harvester. This machine was developed last year by the agricultural engineering department in answer to requests for some means to gather and preserve sweet potato vines — a valuable livestock feed. In the field crops sections, agronomists report that the de mand for hybrid corn seed is still ahead of the supply. Farmers should refrain from using seed they might save from a hybrid crop. Second generation hybrids have proved inferior. Seed stocks should be increased by using more fertilizer and thicker plant ing. Experiments in cotton have shown that winter cover crops increase cotton yields. Several insecticides, mainly DDT and benzene hexaehloride, have been found effective when used against the two main cotton pests, the boll weevil and the boll worm. Research into small fruits pro duction problems have centered around the effect of various min erals on plant health. Strawber ries have been found to need manganese and zinc. Manganese may be the answer to muscadine grape troubles, the horticulture specialists say.

State College Hints To Farm Homemakers By RUTH CURRENT State Home Demonstration Agent Several kinds of fresh greens will be on the markets this month and next—spinach, mustard and turnip greens, and kale. Green leafy vegetables are im portant foods bccause they are rich in valuable vitamins and minerals. All furnish vitamin A and iron and some vitamin C and calcium. Greens ot the mustard family —kale, turnip tops and mustard greens—are superior in calcium and vitamin C. Moreover, scien tists report that greens of the mustard family can be built up in calcium more easily than those of the goosefnot (Swiss chard, spinach, and beet greens) family by adding calcium to tho soil in whicli they grow. By increasing the calcium supply in the soil, kale may double its calcium con tent with no change in its ap pearance, they say. The day’s ration for most Americans is too low in enlcium. Green vege tables can contribute valuable amounts. If you are a gardener you can protect those varieties and plant ing dates you pencil on those little wooden markers. Dip them into melted paraffin and your v/rltten information is protected from the rains. Make your own biscuit and pas try mixes. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator or in a cool place ready for use in a hurry. The following propor tions have been tested for per fect results: Biscuit Mix— 1 cup shortening, 8 cups sifted flour, 4 tablespoons baking powder and 4 teaspoons salt. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening until the mix ture is about the consistency of corn meal. To make up—2 cups bi.scult mix mixed lightly with 2/3 cup milk makes 16 small or 10 large biscuits. Bake as usual for baking powder biscuits. Pastry Mix—1 pound (2 1/3 cups) shortening, 7 cups sifted flour and 1 tablespoon salt. Sift flour with salt. Cut in shorten ing to consistancy of coarse corn- meal. To make up—for one 8- inch pie crust use 1 cup pastry mix and 2 tablespoons water. Sprinkle water over mix grad ually blending to form a stiff dough. Use as you would any pie pastry.

Ladino Clover Pastures Can Be Seeded In Spring Ladino clovcr pastures seeded this spring will help to make up for the pastures and alfalfa you failed to got seeded last fail, says Sam H. Doljson, Extension Agron omy specialist at State College., Late summer and early fall seodings are preferred but many successful ladino clover pastures have been realized throughout tho state when seeded in the spring, Mr. Dobson said. He pointed out that the chances ot failure aro greater in the spring and the yield the first year will bo less, but is seems that whore fall seeding was impossible there ai'o cases where tho need for grazing will justify taking tho chance. Even though alfalfa can bo seeded in tho spring, the chances of success aro so slim that it is generally not advisable ■ exeopt in the mountains. If your hay supply is short, he suggests that you seed lespedoza or soybeans for hay this spring and get ready for alfalfa in the late summer. If it is a question ot seeding ladino clover pastures of alfalfa, it would be better to seed ladino clovcr because the ladino will thicken up in case of a poor early stand while alfalfa will not. Farmers who are planning on Daliis grass and lespedeza, 'seed ing in tho spring is the recomm ended practice, he said. Regardless of whether late summer or spring seedings are made, a good level ot fertility and a good seedbed arc necess ary. Also, the lime requirements must be met, and 000 to 800 pounds of 2-12-12 fertilizer per acre should bo put on tho ladino clover pastures at seeding time, Mr. Dobson said.

' Answer: The principal require ment of a smoke house is that it be sufficiently tight to keep out flies and vermin. Hickory, hard maple, apple and many other hard woods arc satisfactory for smoking meat, although hickory has long been regarded as the best. Green wood and sawdust are desirable since they give a cooler smoke. The procedure that is general ly recommended for smoking meats is as follows: After the meat has been removed from the brine or dry cure, it should be soaked in cold water for several hours, scrubbed with a clean stiff brush and then hung to dry over night in the smokehouse. Care should be taken to prevent the cuts of meat from touching since this will cause streaking. It is Faces Deporfa;ion JOHN ■. WIUIAMSON LABOR secretary of the U. S. Communist Party, John B. Will iamson (above) has been arrested in New York by FBI and immi gration authorities and taken to Ellis Island to await deportation proceedings. Justice Department spokesmen said he was an alien who came from Scotland in 1913. possible to smoke meats by either ot two methods. It may be smoked 24 to 48 hours at a tem perature of approximately 110 to 125 degrees. This will give a light mahogany colored smoke. If the meat is to be stored for summer use it is generally more satisfactory, however to smoke it at a temperature of 80 to 100 degrees F., at intervals of ap proximately 5 to 10 days, over a period of several weeks. After the meat is smoked many people like to season it heavily with black pepper. Question: What soils are most suitable for growing lespedeza? Answer: Lespedeza grows best on medium to heavy bottom lands. However, yields are sat isfactory on -most uplands, ex cept in very dry seasons. It can be grown successfully on nearly all North Carolina soils except very light, dry sands. The Korean variety is more re stricted in its range of soils than the others.

State’s Farm Land Prices Lead Nation ■Washington___North Carolina farm land prices showed a sharp er rise in the last 35 years than any other state in the country. The North Carolina farm land price index, the Bureau of Agri cultural Economics reported, shows a gain of 307 points above a base of 100—the'price" level in the 1912-14 period, used by the bureau in comparing average prices for each state. For the United States as a whole, the farm land price index is now 162—North Carolina thus is 145 points above the average. Twenty-eight states are at or above the 1920 peak. North Caro lina’s 307 today compares with 223 in 1920. other top figures are Kentucky, 262 against 200; California, 244 against 167; Ala bama, 240 against 177, and Ten nessee, 233 against 200. Average farm values for-the nation are actually only eight in dex points below the record in flationary peak of 1920, the bu reau reported. North Carolina also beat the national average gain of 93 per cent in farm land prices from 1939 to 1947, the Tar Heel state's gain being 122 per cent. But dur ing those years, the state was topped by Kentucky, whose in crease was 145 per cent, by Col orado with 144, and by Wyoming with 135, by Tennessee with 129 and by Arkansas with 125. It was only 3 per cent greater than that of South, Carolina. In the past year—from July 1, 1948 to July 1, 1947—North Car olina farm land prices jumped only 8 per cent as compared with 17 per cent in South Dakota, Kan sas and Montana, the three states which led the country. Farm land prices for the United States yv eraged a 10 per cent increase dur ing the year. The bureau has not released figures for the months from July to October, but available data indicated the 1946-47 increases were part of a trend that set in before World War II.

Farmers Will Strive For Top Corn Yields Farmers in Nash and Edge combe Counties will want to do everything they can this year to produce the highest corn yields possible, says A. D. Stuart, Exten sion Seed Improvement speical- ist at State College. Not only are they interested in producing high per acre yields, but they are also interested in winning part of the $1,000 in prize money, which is being offer ed by the Rocky Mount Chamber of Commerce, the Nash County Farm Bureau and the Edgecombe County Farm Bureau, Mr. Stuart said. The sponsors of the contest are trying to promote the production of corn in these two counties through increased yields per acre by the use of improved methods of fertilization, cultivation, man agement and better seeds, and are offering $1,000 as an incentive for the farmers toward bringing these conditions about. Prizes will be awarded as foll ows: Grand prize for the high est yield in both counties, $250; first prize for the highest yield in each of the counties, $100; see ond prize, $50; third, $25; fourth through thirteenth, $10; and four teenth through thirty-third, $5. The contest is opeii' to every farmer, regardless of age, in either of the two counties. Such a contest which will en courage increased yields per acre, reduced unit costs, and develop ment of the livestock and poultry industry, should increase the standard of living in Nash and Edgecombe Counties, Mr. Stuart said.

HEREftTHERE COMMUNITY COMMITTEEMEN HELP IN CONSERVATION PLANS One of the most important jobs of farmer-elected community ag ricultural conservation commit teemen is to help their neighbors with their soil and water conser vation plans for the year, says J. N. Smoot, chairman of the Davie County Agricultural Conserva tion ccmmittce. The Agricultural Conservation program and tho legislation un der which the prograni is au thorized was designed to give farmers through their electcd committcemen a voice in the ad ministration ot the conservation program. Tlie chairman points out that by sitting down witli individual farmers and going over tho con servation problems on their farms with them community committee men arc in a strong position to make the program increasingly effective. The effectiveness of tho nation’s conservation effort depends largely on getting pro gram information to farmers. Program information comes down from county committees by way of state committees, techni cal fcommittees, iand-grant col leges, extension services and ex periment stations. Thus the community committeemen is the key link in the program chain that leads to the farmer.

It is estimated that there arc around 150,000 drivers in North Carolina with surnames begin ning with С or D, and since thoir period for re-issuance got under way on January 1, only 18,000 C’s and D’s have been re-licensed. "This leaves a long way to go," tho Department pointed out, add ing ' that "if persons with last names beginning with 0 or D want to avoid long lines, they should get their new licenses right away.” The law provides that any C and D caught driving on an old license after June 30 will be guil ty of a misdemeanor and will be punished by a fine of not loss than $25.

By LOCKE HOLLAND Farmers Hume Administration Supervisor Dnvio County FO families— families who have bought farms thi’ough (lie assistance of the Farmers Home Administration— have made their farming a busi ness by keeping records of their I'anii income and expense. The information given here is from tho summary ot the 19 farm owncrhsip family record books kept during 1047. Contrary to the general opinion tho average cash farm income de creased from $3,333 in 1046 to $3,105 in 1947. The net cash in come—that is, the income over the cost of tho _farm and home expense—dropped from $1299 in 194Ö to $1,157 in 1947., Tho not cash income is the money the farmer uses to pay his debts and/or the purchase of additional farm and home equipment as well as the reserve he draws on for 194B operating expenses. A breakdown of the dollar earn ed showed that 7% came from cotton, 21% from tobacco and 347v from sale of milk. Tho re maining 38% came from sale of livestock and other livestock pro ducts, seed and labor. The av erage income from cotton and tobacco dropped from $1,112 in 1946 to $913 in 1947. However, milk income increased from $930 to $1,085 in 1947. This increase in milk income has been noted each year from the annual FO records. In breaking down the dollar to show how it was spent, tho summary shows that 26% was speni for family living, 38.7% for farm oper,iting expense, 4.4% for repaying debts other than FO that were more than 1 year old, 16% for purchase of farm and home furnishings, equipment and livestock, 4% cash on hand and 25.3% repayment of farm debt. The 19 farms averaged $473 payment on their farms or 2.2 payments. They averaged $878 ahead of thoir scheduled payments of $226.00 with one family making 9 times his fixed annual payment. No one is behind schedule or de linquent on hi.s farm payment. It was also noted that all county faxes were paid before the end ot January. Tho records showed that an average of $71 was spent for medical expense, $182 was spent for food, but the value of the food they produced on the farm for home use was $573 and had canned an average ot 471 quarts ot food of all kinds. Tho 19 farms aver aged 7,1 cows per farm. Cropland averaged 54.2 acres and each farm averaged 2.4 productive man work units. The conclusion from these records is that by keeping them, a farmer can determine his most profitable farm enterprises and tho ones most profitable, thus, en abling him to farm more effic iently. The Farmers Home Administra tion makes loans to help farm ten ants, sharecroppers or farm labor ers purchase family type farms. Those interested may contact Locke Holland, County Super visor, in the office in Davie on Mondays. Davie Mule Dies At 54 Sam, a mule bought by W. A.

It adds that “All roar and side glass shall be completely clear of posters, sticlcars, except as re quired by law, and shall be free from breaks, cracks, or discolora tion, -Which will impair the .driv er's vision or in any way create a hazard.” Requirements for rear and side glass arc the some, therefore, as for the windshield, which was discus.sod last week. If the car is an old model not built with safety glass, the driver has no reason to worry, provided his vehicle meets all other re quirements. However, if the cor or truck was originally equipped with safety glass, then it must still have it. The inspection program was passed by the last legislature to help cut down North Carolina's mounting toll of highway deaths caused by defective equipment on vehicles. If you want to be sure of passing the test, have your car In good repair before you visit the Inspection lane.

State College Hints To Farm Homemakers By RUTH CURRENT state Home Demonstration Agent Men's hats may be protected from perspiration by turning down the sweat band and Insert ing a strip of cellophane all around the crown. To remove the dirt and dust from a felt hat, rub the entire surface with fine sandpaper. Art gum may be used, too, and this may be purchased at the dime store, drug store, or book store. A rubber sponge also is excell ent for cleaning felt hats but is more satisfactory for brushing woolen suits, coots, and dresses. BOOTS - BOOTS - BOOTS For Children & Ladies ■ I Boys and Mens Arctics and Mens Overshoes Boys and Mens Hanes Winterweight Underwear Davie Dry Goods Co. To remove shine from trousers, skirts, and sleeves, sponge shine places with water containing a little ammonia. Press with plenty of steam. When dry, rough up with fine sandpaper—you must rub very lightly, This gives the material a new look. To rpmove lime deposits In the teakettle, add >/z cup vinegar and 1 pint of water and boll for several minutes. To save time when cleaning, take with you a paper bag. Empty ash trays as well as other small trash into it. This will save many trips. Have a place for “just rags," Some kind of storage space for clean rags should be provided somewhere in the house. Rags are needed for polishing the car, dusting, cleaning and waxing floors, etc. Outing - flannel cases slipped over the broom will transform it easily and simply into o dust mop.

In addiiton to its responsibility of relief in time of disaster, it must also provide an extensive welfare program foi' servicemen here and overseas, and must constantly strengthen the necessary close relationships that are present between the American Red Cross and the International Red Cross and its affiliations. The already demonstrated value of tlie first aid, water safety and accident prevention program, of the nursing and nutrition services, of all the volunteer services and ol' the junior Red Cross, should require us to maintain these programs at full strength. In addition, the program for veterans is immense. Re lief and rehabilitation for these people and for all the other functions is financed directly out of one annual Red Cross fund campaign. A Red Cross bulletin just released explains that "be cause’of the changed economic condition of the nation, all the expenses of the Red Cross have doubled, Just as they have doubled for business and the average family.” That’s very simple to understand. But in the face of rising costs and in a time of great uncertainty, the organ ization has unselfishly taken on another huge responsibil ity—tiie National Blood Program. Its purpose is to pro vide whole blood and blood products for our entu-e civilian population. They want to do that because there is no na tional agency to supply the blood needed by doctors for their civilian patients. Only 35 percent of hospitals have their own private blood bank and these are very inadequate, All these varied activities of the Red Cross must be financed out of one gigantic fund-raising campaign. The Red Cross Is asking the American people for 75 million dol lars In 1948. Here In Davie County, we are asked to give at least $2,000, and the Red Cross wants us to donate more than that because more Is needed to take care of the added cost of the blood campaign. The exact figure of the total quota is not known as yet because further information from Red Cross headquarters is needed for solicitation for the blood bank. All of us would do well to think about these things when the solicitor comes around, ------------------------------------------ TWENTY YEARS AGO In The Enterprise THVBSDAY, MABCH 1, 1938 The Southern Bank and Trust Co. discontinued opera tion for an indefinite period ot time, due to unfavorable conditions in the past and to avoid being faced with In solvency.

Land Resources Not Being Used Specialist Says Evidence of improper use of land resources in North Caro lina la.st .year lies in the fact that about 12 per cent of tho cropland in the state was idle and even a larger per cent not fully used, C. Brice Ratchford, in charge of Farm Management for the State College Extension Service, said here recently. Land devoted to cash crops such sis cotton, tobacco, pcnuts, and commercial trucU has been well utilized and have normally rendered a good return, Mr, Ratchford said, but the land de- »»oted to tho non-cash crops such as corn, hay, and pasture has not been utilized to the maximum. Farmers have normally carried out recommended practices on the cash crops but they have not carried out the recommended practices on the non-cash crops. Adoption of these practices on all crops grown on the farm would Couple Honored At Dinner Party Miss Evelyn Stewart and Wood row Howell, whose wedding will take place March 6,' were enter tained Saturday evening at a dinner party by Mrs. LaVerne SHore an^ Miss Claire Wall, at the home of the former in Yad- kinvilie.

He failed to comply with terms ;)t thé probation and wa.s con victed in Forsyth county court for public drunkenness. He v.'as sent to the roads and escaped, then recaptured and sentenced again. He was confined in Davie coun ty jail for not ie.ss than 15 months nor more than 24 to be assigned to work on the public roads.

JEWS KEEP AIR AND LAND GUARD > r - * r ARMORED ICARS AND PLANES are now being used by Ha- ganaii iiieinbors to guard from Arab marauders the farm settle ment in the Negev Desert in south Palestine. Above, on a Negev airfield, is one ot the communication pianos bought from the RAF by the Jewish Agency. At bottom is shown u semi-armored truck, which keeps in constant radio communi cation with farmland area while making its patrol rounds. FORK pay high returns, he declared. One-half of the land in North Carolina is devoted to woodland, and on many farms the woodland has given a very low return. Even though many of the crop land resources have been fairly well utilized, the land devoted to for est has been poorly utilized. Labor, North Carolina’.«! great est resource, has not been fully used, he stated. Most farmers have felt there was a labor short age and this has been true, yet, on these same farms there has been idle labor. Most crops recjuiro labor from G to 7 months a year, but during certain seasons, ospecially the har vest and planting seasons, there is a labor shortage. During the winter months no labor is re- ■ quired and this results in idle | labor. Enterprise.s can he added which will profitably use the la-^ bor resources ' throughout the year, and keeping this labor bu.sy tho year-round will yield higher profits, the specialist said. Systematic farm planning will indicate ways to use all the land and labor, and those who take time out during the bad weather this winter to plan their farm operations for the next season, | will bo spending their time well, Mr. Ratchford said.

State College Hints ^ , To Farm Homemakers By RVTH CURRENT state Home Demonstration Afent Be sure leather gloves are la belled "washable” before trying to wash them at home, clothing specialists caution. Many gloves of suede, doeskin, capeskin and pigskin are finished so that they cnn be washed and are labelled accordingly on the Inside. Use mild soapsuds and luke warm water when washing leath er gloves. An easy way to do it is to put tho gloves on and then wash them like tho hands, lather ing the entire surface and using a soft brush on finger tips and other specially soiled places. Pull gloves off tho hands care fully because leather is weak when wet. Rinse by running lukewarm water into each glovo to pu.sh it gently into shape. Never wring or scrub gloves be cause this stretches and may tear the wet leather. To keep pig skin gloves soft, rinse in water to which a couple of drops of glycerine have been added. Dry slowly in room tempera ture. Too much heat is harmful to leather. Linens aro most efficiently ironed at tho highest temperature of tho iron, so iron them last. They must bo quite wot. Linen fiber is rather brittle and evap oration is quick. Linens should bo ironed on the wrong aide to avoid shine. Damask table lin ens on which a high gloss is de sired should be ironed on tho wrong side, then on the right. Mend snags or worn places in towels before they go into the wash to avoid further tearing. If tho selvage shows wear, check fraying by taking several rows of stitches by taking several rows of strengthen it. Rotating your garden spot is just as good a practice as ro tating field crops. / Some species of insects, includ ing some butterflies, have tasto organs in thoir logs. Collotte. Mr. and Mrs. Joe G.

IN 1947 Jefferson Standard served a greater number of policyholders than ever before and made substantial gains M volume of new business and financial strength. This achievement is high tribute to the loyal group of field representa» fives whose skilled services made this record possible. Through their efforts the comforting protection of life insurance was brought to additional thousands of families during the year. / Today's high income taxes and low returns on investments have intensified the problem of estate creation and conservation, thus causing the American people to value more than ever the security and personal satisfaction which life insurance affords. In 1947 FOUR OUT OF FIVE families enjoyed the protection of life insurance. Jefferson Standard provides more than $74S million of this protection.

Williams, Farm Management specialist for the State College Extension Service, says that one of the most profitable ways to spend this time would be to plan their farm program for the new year. Practically all farmers do some kind of planning, Mr, Willaims said, but too often these plans are poorly made and loosely coor dinated. The best way to plan, he says, is to get the entire family to gether and spend a few hours on just what the family wants to accomplish for the year and how this can be done. These goals should be written down so the written plan can be used as a guide throughout the year. A few hours spent in making a farm plan will save several days of actual work in many cases, Mr. Williams declared. A good farm plan should in clude livestock and crops to be produced, fertilizer to be used, farm woodland plan, labor I'o- quirements, expected crop and livestock disposal, estimated re ceipts and expenses, and other items needed by the individual farmer. A good farm plan must also be flexible to meet condit ions throughout the year. Good planning means larger net incomc for the farm, Mr, Williams said. rr PAYS TO ADVERTISE HOMES AND BUSINESS PROPERTY Home with 5 acres land, 4- room house, well, garage, smoke house, barn and good garden.

ENTERPRISE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1948 4-H Club Week Scheduled March 1-7 National 4-H Club Week will be held March 1-7, 1948. This year the main theme will be "Creat ing better homes today for a more responsible citizenship tomor row.” The following quotation, by Joy Elmer Morgan, fits in well with this theme: BEGIN CITIZENSHIP IN THE HOME “The foundations of your whole life—physical ,emotlonal and mental—are laid in the home. The well-ordered home based on love, mutual helpfulness and in telligent cooperation Is the high est achievement of mankind. It is the cradle of civilization. By living and working together in the home we acquire the virtues, habits, and skills needed for the highest success in life. By doing your part in the tasks about the home; by helping to keep it clean, orderly and beautiful; by seeking to make it a peaceful, friendly, and happy place; you learn to think, to plan, and to work with others in ways that will help you to perform well your part in any community. Exalt, enrich, and beautify your home. It is the foundation of your life and hap piness; the first school of citizen ship and democracy.” 4-H AND ITS OBJECTIVES The 4-H club had its origin in the State of North Carolina more than a quarter of a century ago. It grew from a small corn club, organized by a group of rural boys, into the largest youth or ganization in the world. In the State of North Carolina, alone, there arc 1800 individual clubs and more than 03,000 club mem bers. Since its origin, the 4-H club has taught rural boys and girls the latest and best practices in agriculture and home economics. As a result, the members have spread the methods of modern agriculture and homemaklng to practically every farm in the United States. You probably understand 4-H club work and its principles. Tho National 4-H emblem itself, a four-leaf clover with the letter H in each leaf, may well explain the principles of tho 4-H club. As you know, the four leaf clover signifies “good luck” and “achievement”. The H's stand for Head, Heart, Hands and Health. Heads for clearer think ing, hearts for greater loyalty, hands for larger service, and health for better living. Boys' and girls" 4-H club work is a part of the agricultural ex tension service and the United States department of agriculture. It is a nationwide program pri marily educational in nature, rating second only to the public school system. Its purpose is to teach rural boys and girls from ten to twenty-one years of age the best agricultural practices and the finer and more signifi cant things in rural living. The 4-H club Is set up on a school, county, state and national basis. Club work begins in the school with a group of organized students having their own offi cers; terminating into a county council made up of the officers of the different school clubs and having its own staff of officers. Then there is the state council, made up of the officers of the county council. The state coun cil has its own staff of officers and is under the leadership of the State 4-H leaders. The National 4-H leaders are selected from a level of state and national win ners in project work. Thus, 4-H club work becomes a part of the lives of rurfti young people while we are young and learing the art of living. It stim ulates a zest for life and living and gives us a will to work to ward visions and possibilities of a greater agriculture that was beyond the reach of our fathers. 4-H members learn by cooperat ing, and in doing so create a de sire for comradeship with other people. Most all members find their lives enriched by enduring friendships with other young people. 4-H club work develops rural leadership, community pride and' spirit. It builds young men and women who know how to con duct meetings, organize com munity projects and who know how to judge crops, livestock and products ot the farm and home. The project is the greatest sin- j gle factor in 4-H work. Club members may carry one or more projects centering around the farm or home. Accurate records of these projects are kept from the time they are started until . they are finished and as these records show, some truly great things have been accomplished by 4-H members. These projects foster individual ownership, a love of nature and the open coun try. They bring out one’s best effort and thought, and give rural boys and girls an opportunity to earn money and acquire prop erty. 4-H project work develops a sense of responsibility, self-re liance and ambition. It applies business methods to farming and promotes industry and thrift. It emphasizes the home and brings parents and children increasingly together in a common interest. But project work means far more than this to the life of a club member. Garden projects and field crops projects enlighten one to a greater kinship with the earth and a deeper appreciation of the miracles wrought with a hand ful ot soil. 4-H homemaking projects cause members to appre ciate home responsibilities and enable them to be /satisfactory and desirable homemakers. No one who has given an ani mal loving care, watched it grow and tended to its needs, has done so without enriching his own na ture. That is why the love of livestock, which 4-H projects fos ter, makes an enduring contribu tion to a young person’s life reaching far beyond the results shown on records and figures. All these things enter our lives while our minds are still alert and give us a vision of the pos sibility ot agriculture as a life work. 4-H club members demonstrate the-best practices of agriculture and home economics to the rural population of the nation by means of our own original projects. We put into practice what we learn, and prove to the public that it will work. The 4-H club is the greatest factor our nation has in spreading modern agriculture and the art of rural living to every farm in the United States. Mrs. Zelda Tutterow Dies in Hospital Mrs. Zelda Tutterow of Mocks- vllle died at 5;40 p.m. Sunday at a Statesville hospital, where she had been a patient for the past four and a half months.

WILLIAMS Robert Foster, farming near Liberty Church, is thinning three acres of young pine this winter. The undesirable trees were mark ed to be taken out, giving the straight well spaced trees more room for further growth. The thinnings should produce ten to fifteen cords of wood. R. R. Redden, of Redbow Farm, plans to make open drainage ditches in wet pasture land to en able him to drain swampy areas so he can produce more desire- able pasture grasses. K. C. Waller, southwest of Mocksville, and W. A. Carter, near Mocks Church, placed orders for pine seedlings to be planted on their farms this spring. Otho Graves used dynamite to drain a spring fed branch on his farm on Dutchman creek. Frank Johnson, north of Farm ington, had diversion ditches run on his farm to keep hillside water off his cropland. James W. Barnhardt, south of Fork, plans to plant 8 acres to sericea this spring. Mr. Barn hardt feels that this steep washed land is not capable of producing good pasture, but by growing sericea on it for several years it can later be planted to other pas ture grasses. Frank Short, farming east of Mocksville, had soil samples made on his fields to determine the amount and type of fertilizer needed for most enonomical pro duction. YOUR HEALTH DEPARTMENT By CARL E.

The problem of sewage disposal is so closely connected with that of a water supply that wo usually consider them together. We frequently have inquires regarding the law regulating priv ies. According to State Board of Health regulations, and resi dence located within 300 yards of another residence or within one mile of a village must be provided with a privy with concrete steol, concrete slab or floor, and a con crete sill. This manner of con struction makes a privy fly-tight and safe. The law of common decency would dictate that anyone, wheth er within the above limits or not, would want to protect himseU and family against the dangers of an open privy or promiscuous pollution of the soil. No one wants to cat food walked over and spit upon by a fly that has waded through the contents of an open privy. Open privies are not only dangerous for the family but a health hazard to the comm unity. We cannot tell you in a short news article how to build a privy or a septic tank, but we do have free bulletins and will be glad to visit your home and make recommendations.
