STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS ' Question: What are the pros pects for the fall series of feeder calf and yearling steer sales, which are scheduled to get under way on September 16? Answer: More animals are ex pected to be offered this fall than last fall. A. V. Allen, animal husbandry specialist for the N. C. Agricultural Extension Service, said 10,000 calves and steers .are expected to be offered this year in comparison to 9,455 offered in 1957. The prices are also expect ed to be up. Allen pointed out that the rise in beef prices ex perienced last fall and winter has held firm throughout the year and shows no immediate indications of dropping back to previous levels. ( Question: What is a good meth od for determining when my sweet potatoes are ready for dig ging? Answer: H. M. Covington, hor ticultural special st for the N. C. Agricultural Extension Service, suggests that you make trial dig gings of 10 to 15 hills in each of your fields. Continue this practice every 10 days until most of the potatoes in the samples are U. S. No. l’s. Then dig an entire row through the field. From this row, make your final decision on when to dig all the potatoes. Answer: The committee agreed that North Carolina farmers must concentrate on quality and grad ing if they expect to get their share of the state’s growing pro-) duce dollar. Governor Hodgees told the group that the average farmer in North Carolina, who has difficulty adapting himself to the demand for quality and grad ing, must either adapt or watch his income slide. Question: What are the most' popular varieties of barley grown! in North Carolina? Answer: Colonial 2 and Davie. ] Both these varieties have a. wide range of adaption, but must be 1 kept out of areas where winter | killing is common. To produce] satisfactory yields, barley should I be (1) grown on fertile, well drained soils, (2) the seedbed ♦ should be prepared well in ad vance of seeding to allow time for turned under vegetation to decav, (3) adequately fertilized and (4) seeded on time. Early October is I considered the best barley plant-, 4 ing time in the Piedmont, while seeding in the Coastal Plain | should come two to four weeks later. Question: Is it all right to use a plant pesticide to get rid of pests on livestock? Answer: No! Using an insec ticide in hope that it will rid an animal of pests is highly danger ous. Though the same material may be used in preparations de signed for use on animals as plants, the concentration and chemical formulation may be I HOMECOMING I EDENTON HIGH SCHOOL HORNETS I ~ VERSUS ■■■ I TRENTON I FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24th HICKS FIELD I POE-GAME ACTIVITIES 12:00 HOON I I KICKOFF. 200P.M.

The i disease has been found in sev r eral of the state’s major peanut l producing areas this year. In - many instances it is being confus t ed with the more familiar South ern stem rot disease. With col s lar rot the plant dies in late sum -1 mer, The lower portion of the f stem and tap roots decay. Stems become blackened and rough, due - to the formation of fruiting bod r ie= of the fungus. Collar rot has - been found most often in fields where peanuts have followed cot . ton. The most successful control at present is to follow a three year or longer rotation, making . sure peanuts are planted behind , corn or some other crop and not ; cotton. t Question: What is the best va : riety of grape for me to grow in > my small home garden? s Answer; Os the perfeet-flow -1 ered varieties (those which do not require a non-bearing male vine 1 for pollenation): Burgaw ,Dear : >ng. or Wallace.

Metro politan Norfolk now contains 1 about 600,000 people. The egg marketing potential in and around : Norfolk is much greater than [ | that around North Carolina’s j three largest cities combined. At t present Norfolk requires 20 to 25 ! truckloads of eggs per week. With each truck carrying 500 cas es of eggs this amounts to $7-10 l million annualty. People with 1 money make markets. Surveys show that family income in Nor folk is nearly SI,OOO more per year than families in adjoining North Carolina.

Until this method of con trolling smut was devised farm ers had to use the hot water treatment. The new method may be easier. j Question: Can I apply nitro gen to my smail grain in the fall? Answer: Yes. in certain areas where the soil is not sandy. Us ually it is recommended that small grains be topdressed in Feb ruary and March. This is still a good recommendation. But on red, heavy soils nitrogen applied in the fall works just as well. This should be good news for those farmers who usually find the soil too wet to support ma chinery in February and March. On sandy soils nitrogen applied in the fall is leached out before the plants require it in abundance.

C. \ ABUNDANT LIFE ‘ by ORAL ROBERTS * “BEFORE YOU SHOOT YOURSELF, CALL THIS NUMBER” At our International Headquarters in Tulsa, Oklahoma, we have a group of people who are engaged in prayer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This is called the Abundant Life Prayer Group Day and night this Group is receiving requests for prayer from people every where. The requests are sent in by mail and telegraph, and many come by long distance telephone. Calls for help in pravcr have come from as far away as Oslo, Norway, and from as near as a Tulsa hospital. The other day, a member of our Abundant Life Prayer Group answered the telephone The call was coming from a point more than 1,000 miles awav. A man's voice said, "I have a loaded revolver in my hand, and I am ready to take my life.” Then, in a last desperate plea, the man cried, "Can you help me?” The Abundant Life Prayer Partner sympathetically, prayerfully, and with understanding listened to the complete story told by "the voice” at the other end of the line. "For three days, I have been locked in my room with my revolver loaded ready to take my life. But each time I have tried to pull the trigger, some thing has restrained me. At one time 1 knew the Lord as my Saviour, but 1 drifted away from him. The further I strayed from the Lord, the more my life became involved, and 1 ended up serving a prison term Now, I have been released and have tried to go straight, but nobody wants to hire an ex-convict Life has lost its meaning Methodists Meet October 13th To Begin Big Drive Approximately 4,000 Methodists members of The North Carolina Conference of The Methodist Church will gather in Memorial Auditorium, Raleigh, on Monday, October 13, to initiate formally a $5,000,000 drive for education. Those attending will include and I just can’t go on any longer. Can you help me?” This time, the question was drowned in convulsive sobs. The Prayer Partner lovingly and prayerfully spoke to the man and told him of the goodness of God. As she talked with him and prated with him, he suddenly inter rupted her, his voice ringing with a new vibrance He told her the light had suddenly broken through into his heart as prayer went up to God in his behalf. The Sun of righteousness had dawned in this man’s life with healing in his wings to restore life and health to this individual who only moments beiore was determined to take his own life. Only when she was sure that the man had»peace in his heart did the Abundant Life Prayer Partner venture the question which had been ip her mind from the beginning ot the con versation: "How did you happen to call the Abundant Life Prayer Group?” she asked. The man replied, "A lady gave me your telephone number and said to me, ’Before you shoot yourself, call this number!' ” This incident (one of hundreds that have come to our attention) pinpoints a truth that we should never forget: There is no distance in prayer. God is here and God is there He is with me, and he is with you. Nearer than breath ing and faster than thought, he can re spond to the cry of every anxious heart who turns to him for help. He is the answer—the only answer—to the needs of this world today. I pastors and representatives of the 850 churches and 186.000 Metho dists in the Conference. The sessions will begin at 10, A.
