Salvation Army Cares
For Unwed Mothers
? DURHAM ? Unwed mothers
ranging in ages form 13 to 39
> were among the inpatients who
..were admitted to The Salvation
Army Home and Hospital here
' in 1959, according to a report re
pleased yesterday by Major Ruby
Milton, superintendent.
1 One of the most unusual oc
currences at the institution during
' the past year was the birth of
, twins. Major Milton said multiple
births are extremely rare at the
' Home and Hospital.
. The 114 girls who stayed at the
institution in 1959 represented
? more than SO counties in the Caro
Unas, and six other states, in
* eluding Kansas. Less than 10 per
. cent came from the Carolinas.
Cost per day care at the Home
' remained the same as in 1958?
>4.17, including food, lodging.
medical and other expenses. Ex
penses per case averaged approx
imately $355, although costs for
ooe girl ran to $1,406 67.
The average length of stay for
patients during 1958 was 85
days, however, because of exten
uating circumstances it was nec
essary for one patient to enter
the home during her second
month of pregnancy.
Major Milton said it is diffi
cult, if not impossible, to pin
point the causes of births out of
wedlock. She stated numerous
studies have contradicted each
other in terms of the special
social or psychological factors
which are supposed to be related
to illegitimacy.
Mexico has 28 states plus a
federal capital district.

By JOHN SMITH
I am sitting here, looking out
the window and see snow has the
buildings and ground covered.
This reminds me when I was a
boy, who was raiaad in Clay coun
ty and my father would My to
me that die mow was good for
the small grain tha' we had sown,
auch as rye and wheat. That did
not enter my mind, for all I want
ed to do was to get my dog and
gun and go hunting. Those were
happy day* for all and did you
know now It is against the law to
hunt when there is a snow.
Back in those days farmers
would sow a lot of small grain
and you could find plenty of game
such as quail, rabbits and doves,
something that you hardly ever
see now. If I was to guess, there
is not a hundred dove* in Chero
kee County. Back then, there was
all kinds of peas sown and you
could find plenty in the fields,
and when you got up a covey of
quail there was from twenty to
thirty in the covey. Now around
eight is all you can find. These
above things not only give wild
life food and a cover crop which
would keep down erosion but al
so a good crop to turn under to
put humus in the ground which
we surely need.
Each year farmers will plow
and fertilizer and see up to the
wood and when you go to harvest
your crop, you will not get enough
out of it, as you had put into it,
for labor and other costs; if you
would sow a border strip around
the field, you would have a good
border strip there for wild life,
also there is many spots you
could sow around your farm that
would make good spots to sow and
I will bet you my last dollar,
that you will see an increase in
wild life on your farm and by
doing so, your birds would not
have to hunt other farms for a
meager hand out of what they
can find, The Wild Life Commis
sion will furnish you all you need
to plant at no cost, and will de
liver them to you. You can either
contact your County Agent or
ASC Manager or the Soil Conser
vation service, here in the Court
House and we will sind your ap
plication off for you.
Modern day farming has
changed a lot in the last several
years. I remember as a boy we
were so poor that it was hard for
us to get up enough money to buy
two bags of fertilizer, and we
were so careful with it that we
used a teablespoon to put it in the
hill and we would raise from
twelve to fifteen bushel of corn
per acre. There was no grass
then except wild grass, so with
modem farming and reserarch it
is no trouble now to raise a hun
dred bushel per acre with less
farming. All the farmers needs
to do now is to get his land in
good shape. Plant and plow it
perhaps two times many only plow
one time, and the rest is done un
til harvest time. Back in the olden
days you plowed five times and
hoed it four times and pull that
FODDER and cut the TOPS and
try to have enough feed for the
winfw
Last year the MeCombs in the
Peaehtree Section, sowed one acre
of Tick Clover, better known to
us as Begger Lice and the first
cutting, they bailed forty bails
of as good hay, as they got on any
other grass they had, the second
cutting due to dry weather, they
did not do so good. I am anxious
to see what it will produce next
year. We have more here, also
we have fifteen pounds of Kings
Ranch Blue Stem grass seed to go
to any farmer that will sow it and
follow the instructions which are
not hard, all young seed is a good
acre of seed bed, and fertilizer it
and you will find some good graz
ing m it. It was first discovered
on the large Kings Ranch in Tex
as, by the employees in 1900 and
Soil Conservation Nurseries of
San Antonio tried a demonstration
of it in Oklahoma in 1639 and It
stood weather down to it below
zero and also with only three
inches of rain.
The Soil Conservation is al
ways looking and having experi
ments of grasaes and legume*
