The following essay by Miss Ruby
tCreech won the Dr. Vick medal in
essay contc.st Tuesday night:
9Duty”
(Ruby Creech)
When one - thinks of duty, does he
»really know what he is thinking of?
he know what it means ? It is
Si mission that has been assigned
ft* him by his heavenly father to
be fuffilled; it is something that is
inequired of all. Everyone should do
&is duty no matter how large or
tf-mall it may be. Often times one
bad temptations to steal into
iyis heart taking the place of duty
:aiKl goe-s on in a carefree manner
the time away. Hut seme-
tirae.s there are others who have the
willpower to resi.st the temptations,
'TY«eie may be someone on both sides
^trying to persuade him to do the
■wTong thing but a- a good follow-
'.’.r «f Jesus goes on doing his duty.
.Many people of today are yielding
So toro many temptations, and going
wrong, setting a bad example for
tthe younger generation; but if they
wouM foHow the guiding of their
kcoijs5«noe they would be much hap-
spier. -Dtity is a light that will guide
eJsBck our erring, reprove us, and
i-aJm the weary strife of frail
Aumanity.
Tliere are many people today wlio
stre sad and brokenhearted and not
iknovfing what to lio feeling as if
■they are useless in the world. Rut
if they would only look on the
'bright side of life and go out into
world trying to help others the
'"K t they know how then they
■weite -lacceed and grow happier.
'For Tii.-itance, think of Jephtha a
•■’nighty maTi of valor who is spoken
-of in the HiMe. He wa.s cast out
-* 0 V-af'tier’.s hou.se by hi- elder
Vir-others. So(m after this the chil-
«'tr»T -if .Atboti were waging war
-^gain-.-h the children of Israel. 'I’hey
••siut; • h'fter him to return and helu
had been spoken yesterday. They
are words that each and every one
of us should take to heart and .-eal.
W'e have dutie's all around us, and
if some people of the world today
did not try to fulfill this, every one
would be in worse condition than
we are in at the present time.
The term duty is the same as
rights, and when a right has been
violated a duty’ has been neglecte(i.
The soldiers going to war is a
splendid in-tance of the power du
ty has over man. Just think of the
thousands of soldiers who went to
war to fight for our country. They
went over not knowing whether or
not they would ever see their home
and loved ones again. But still the
wonderful power that overshadowed
them, begged them to go forward.
Had it not been their duty they
would not have gone.
Why not every one try to answer
to the call of duty, and service just
as a beautiful mountain stream m
North Georgia does. It is the river
of w'hich Sidney Eanier sang so
beautifully in his song of the Chat
tahoochee. Its waters rush out of
the hills of Habersham and down
the valley of Ball to fulfill a mis
sion that had been given. As the
river flowed on, it met many temp
tations by the wayside. The rashes,
the reeds, the waterweeds, ' the
ferns and fondling grass said stay,
but the little stream rushed onward.
The hickory that told manifolil
fair tales, the popular, the chestnut,
the walnut, the pine said, ”Pa.ss
not, so cold, these manifold deep
shadows of the hills of Habersham.
Somewhere in the low land plains
there were fields to be watered and
mills to be turned. 'D-ic myriad
flowers that mortally yearned for a
cooling draught to quench their
thiv:,t, so the river rushed onward
to answer tlie voices of duty that
called.
Now,, when our walk on earth i.s
done the time comes for u.s to pa.ss ’
over into the great beyond, let us
all be able to say, with a clean and !
pure heart, thank God, I ha've done
my duty.
It is with a sad heart that I at-
, tempt to write the death of Rev.
iJ. R. Wallace, who departed this
life May 8, 1933. Uncle Ransom,, as
I called him, was a kind hearted
man. He was 62 years, 9 months
and 29 days old. All was done for
I him that kind friends and doctors I
could do but none could stay the!
hand of death. Let God’s will, not!
our, be done. |
Oh, it is so hard to part with I
our loved ones w’ho are so near and I
dear to us. Dropsy was the cause i
of his death. He was laid to rest
in the Hopewell graveyard.
He leaves to mourn their loss a
heartbroken -wife, Mrs. J. R. Wal
lace, three daughters, Mrs. Lonnie
Stevens, Mrs. Preston Collier and
Mrs. Johnnie Vinson; three sons,
Messrs Kobie and Auburn Wallace
all of Smithfield, and Mr. Claude
Wallace, of Durham; two brothers,
Mr. Willie Wallace of Four Oaks,
and Mr. Preston Wallace, of Dur
ham; and one sister, Mrs. Charlie
Wilkins, of Selma.
The pall bearers were the Juniors
of the Smithfield Junior Lodge. The
floral offerings were many and
beautiful.

VrifmAs everyone has internal battles, I “Records have been kept on this
evil temptations may be trying to brood of the 13-year locusts since
back in 1803,” says Dr. Metcalf.
Additional evidence of the value
of lespedeza is improving land for
more profitable yields of cash crops
thereafter is found in the exjierience
of B. B. Howell, progressive fairner
of Edgecombe County.
“Mr. Howell- has a large farm of
his own and in addition, he usually.
rents a good acreage from nearby |
landowners. In every case, he keeps
a careful record of all his expendi
tures and sales,” says Enos C. Blair,'
extension agronomist at State Col
lege. “Last year, Mr. Howell plant
ed 660 acres to cotton. Of this
amount, 100 acres was on his o-wn
farm and 550 acres on rented land.
On his own land, he follows a care
ful crop rotation in which legumes
are turned under regularly for soil
improvement. In plantin.g last j’ear,
50 acres of cotton wa.-: grown on
his own land where lespedeza had
grow’n the year before.. Another 50
acres, nearby, was grown on rent
ed land w'here peanuts had been
bagged in the field. This method of
hai-vesting the peanuts left most of
the growth on the land.”
Mr. Howell used about 300 pounds
per acre of a 10-4-4 fertilizer under
the cotton grown on his home place
and 300 pounds of a 11-5-5 fertilizer
under that grown on the rented
land When he fig'ured hi.-j income
last winter, he found he had secured
an average of $30 an acre from the
crop planted after lespedeza and
onl.v $20 an acre from the crop
.grown on the rented land.
In other words, says Blair, this
man found that two acres of land
improved with lespedeza made as
much gross profit as three acres of
average land.
This will in part explain the in
creasing popularty of lespedeza all
over North Carolna. Blair .-ays.

Mr. Kirarey says the ordinary
farm labor may be used for build
ing the silo and when it is properly
put up, painted on the outside and
treated on the inside with the coal
tar prepai-ation, it should last from
10 to 20 years. This estimate, of
course, is on the assumption that
good, sound timber is used.
Those who wish to build such a
silo may obtain plans and specifi
cations from the dairy extension of

This IS a great gap that many of-
Slen leave open. They go on from

there Vr for them to do. Later on
in life, when that boy, girl, man or

have specimens from every county.
If no emergence took place in some
counties, we should also like to have
this negative information.”
The netomologist points out that
the 13-year locusts now appearing
were hatched from tiny eggs laid
in twigs and branches back in 1920.
Tlie' little grubs hatching from these
eggs, dropped to the ground, work
ed their way into the soil, and at
tached themselves to succulent roots
where they have been developing
since that time.
A few weeks ago, these full-
grown grubs worked their way up

yleaEure last.
Tee men of all ranks, whether
‘Ouey are sncces-ful or not, w'hether
-Itbey trmmph or not—let them do
VKelr duty.” These words were .spo-
by a famous Greek philosopher
•ammny hundreds of years ago, but
ttey are as useful to us as if they
awaited the first warm days of May
to emerge in countless thousands.
“The cicadas crawl up the trunks
of trees and bru-hes to shed their
skins and emerge as full grown
locusts with black bodies, bright
reddish-brown eyes, legs and wings.
They will lay eggs in twigs and
within a month or six weeks will

Where soil conditions are sucli
that it is impossible to dig an ef
ficient trench ^'ilo and where the
farmer doe.-; not have the money to
invest in one of the more costly
forms of upright silos, the stave -silo
may be constructed at little cost
from home-grown timber.
“Any dairy farmer with as many
as eight to ten cows, needs a silo
to provide winter feed for his ani
mals,” says A. C. Kimrey, dairy
exten-ion specialist at State Col
lege. “The kind of silo will depend
on the amount of money he has to
spend but there are several kinds
of cheap silos which give excellent
results when properly constructed.
One of the cheapest of the up
right types, is the stave silo made
from home-grown timber. The staves
are cut two inches thick, five inche-
wide and in such lengths as may be
desired. A good grade of pine or
cypress is preferred but in either
case, the staves should be air-dried
for at least eight weeks before con
struction begins ”
Kimrey says it is best to dress
the staves on all sides and to
tongue and groove them where pos
sible.
From eight to twelve hoops are
needed for such a silo. These are
made from one-half to five-eights
inch iron rods threaded about six
inches at each end and drawn to
gether with silo hoop lugs. The
-taves, hoops and a few bags of
cement for the foundation are the
Raleigh, May 21.—Governor
Ehringhaus today made public the
new state school .commis.sion which
will administer as the successor to
the state board of equalization the
1933 eight months school law.
Six of the board of equalization
who had directed school spending
^ for the 1931-1933 biennium, remain
on the new school commission Its
functions are somewhat more elactic
and comprehensive than those of the
old board. It can kill and make
alive on a rather large scale. It
creates decidedly more and can keep
down creation still more. Its con
trol of the state schools is much
more impressive than was the direc
tion furnished by its predecessors.
The conspicious changes come
from the second district where Joe
C. Eagles, of Wilson county, gives
way to George C. Green ,of Wel
don; from the seventh where J. 0.
Carr, of Wilmington, supplants Wal
ter Powell, of Whiteville; from the
eigth, H. L. Price, of Monroe, gives
way to Edwin Pait, of Laurinburg;
from the ninth where A. E. Woltz
drops out for W. G. Gaston, of Gas
tonia; and from the 11th, J. E.
Coburn, of Bryson City goes out
for O. J Holler, of Union Mills,
Rutherford county. The fact that
Mr. Ehringhaus retains six of the
old memebers is sig-nificant. He is
soon to appoint a state highway com
mission. He has said nothing about
that personnel from chairman down.
But the retention of a substantial
number of the old board of equali
zation indicates that his excellency
does not lean to complete turnovers.
The first congressional district
which was served by Taylor B.
Attmore, of Washngton, makes no
change. Mr. Attmore is a foi-mer
school superintendent. He ran Pam
lico county many years and was the

dren. He wiped out the little schools

Mr. Garland B. Smith, five miles
west of Smithfield, was bitten on
the hand by a poisonous snake last
Monday while pulling tobacco plants.
The- snake, said to have been a moc
casin, was hidden among the plants
on the tobacco bed, and was not
seen until it struck Mr. Jones’ fin-®,
ger. He was taken to a doctor and
given treatment and is improving,
but his hand and arm are badly-
swollen and he is still quite sick.
