Sirs: I know you have many and weighty questions to solve, but tell me, a poor, harrassed citi zen who tries to live peaceably with his neighbors, what must a fellow do when his neighbors’ dogs bark all night and make sleep impossible. Should he go out and kill the dogs or should he shoot the neighbors or move out of the neighborhood? I read in the papers a year or two ago where a dge and a jury decided it was istifiable homicide in a case i» which a man, distracted and over wrought by the constant blaring of a radio kept tuned to full vol ume day and night, got rid of the noise by shooting the owner of the radio. Reckon it would work the same way with dogs? You gentlemen have had your problems with the ^ogs before, -I know. The dogs have always won. And I suppose, that in this case, the best solution will be to move out of the neigh borhood if I can’t get along with my neighbors' dogs. What would you do, I ask you? Yours very truly, SQUIRE HERTFORD, BIRTHDAY DINNER FOR J. A. BOYETTE J. A. Boyette was honor guest at a birthday dinner Thursday evening in the home of Mrs. D. F. Payne. Mr. Boyette was 78 years old.

Mr. and Mrs. Tom Revelle and family, of Murfreesboro, were callers in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Jones, Sunday. Ahoskie, August 14. To MR, J. N. VANN Ahoskie, N. C. Dear Mr. Vann: All appearances are that your suggestion to the Ahoskie Town Commissioners for replacement of the stop-and-go traffic light at the intersection of Church and Highway streets with a blinker caution light has been lost. Which is the better for pro tection of the public against traf fic accidents, while considering at the same time the most convenient handling of the traffic at this corner, is entirely a matter of opinion. Personally, while not at all concerned except as an infre quent traveler through this inter section, I was inclined to agree with those who prefer the stop- and-go light to the blinker. How ever, I agree heartily with you in the statement made by you that the thing that should be consider ed foremost by the commissioners is to give the greatest degree of protection to the greatest number of people, whether at this inter section or eisewheer in the town. You pointed out that the points of greatest hazard to safety in Ahoskie, as shown by the number of accidents, are the unprotected railway crossings. You undoubted ly are correct in this statemen^, and I agree with you that some steps should be taken to correct this situation. There are four main thorough fare railway crossings in Ahoskie, and only one of them has a sem blance of protection. All of these crossings could be protected from a single watch-tower controlling mechanical gates. I hope that you will press yoTir suggestion further with the town commissioners and also hope that they may make some effort to see that a greater degree of protection is given the public at these points of greatest hazard to traffic safety in Ahoskie. Yours very truly, SQUIRE HERTFORD. year and on July 13. he partici pated in the state contest at Ra leigh. He made the high school livestock judging team each year and was a member of the Stale C high school livestock judging team in 1937, winning fifth place.

Incidentalaly, Boyce is the brother of Franklin County’s farm agent. He will leave for Kansas City on October 12, travelling by bus. Boyce.was winner of a similar trip last year. . For the first time since my last trip to Florida more than a year ago, I failed to make my weekly scheduled trip to mingle with my friends in Murfreesboro this week. Reason; I have been assisting others in the process of getting this week’s issue of the Herald ready for mailing—13,975 pounds of it. Subscribers added to the Herald list during the past few days are: L. R. Sessoms, route 4, Ahoskie; J. W. Boone, Winton; Sidney Britt route 1, Murfreesboro; J. W.

Roy Parker—the Historical Edition, depicting in word and in picture the progress of Ahoskie and other rural com munities in Hertford county for the past fifty years, we might ask this question: “What will the historians of tomorrow say of Roosevelt? it is quite inter esting to listen in on a cross sec tion of conversation where one side thinks he’s the greatest man who ever lived. . . . and the other, who knows without doubt that he is ruining the country. , . . generations to come. . . . when we consider the maftter it makes us wonder. ... if we have the true side of any era. . . . for authors are only human after all. '. . . and would naturally have presented an event from their point of view .... and what will they say of Eleanor Roosevelt fifty years hence. . . . will she be the most traveled woman in America. . . . of her day. . . . will she be the most versatile mistress the White House has ever known. . . .or will she be famous for her scram- ed eggs and hot’ dogs. ... at any rate it would be fun just to look at the “back of the book” and find out. . . . but we know this, she will be remembered when some of her hardest critics are forgotten. MORE PERSONS GOING TO FAIR Names of several additiortal persons who have announced their intention of going along on the Hertford County World Fair tour were released this week by Miss Florence Cox, sponsor of the trip. The names are as follows: Miss Deborah Brown, Menola; Mrs. Pauline - Cullens, Harrellsville; Miss Retha Towne, Mehola; Mrs. Alice Copeland, Mrs. Lula Over- ton, both of Ahoskie; Marguerite Story, Winton; Mrs. N. R. Pledger, Conway; Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Turn er, Conway; Mrs. Herbert Miller and Thelma Miller of Florida. Twenty-two persons in .-all are to make the trip, including Miss Cox. Miss Cox said that there was an insufficient number of persons from this county to fill the bus, so that persons from other coun ties were invited to mal^e the trip. .seeding and grazing of both being about the same. Rye gra.s,s, in ex periments in North Carolina, has proven to be one of the very be.st fall and winter green crops for poultry. Otif.'!. Barley, Rye, Wheat—Oats are finst choice of cereals for poul try grazing, with ’narley second. , Oats may be .seeded anytime now. i However, for a long grazing per iod, wait until, late September or early October. You may then se cure a 6 to 8 weeks’ grazing period this fall; then have a similar per iod in the spring. Abruzzi rye seeded early in the fall will make more growth than either oats or barley; and will sup ply more grazing during the win ter months because of less damage from frost and freezes. However, as the season advances in the spring, it becomes tougher than other cereals. Wheat supplies very limited grazing in the fall, but may furnish green feed for several weeks in the spring.

Hertford, Bertie and Northampton Counties County Farm Agent’s News And Views . WINTER COVER CROPS Recommendations. 1. Winter crops—oats, wheat, barley, abruzzi rye, Italian rye grass, crimson clover, vetch and winter peas—make use of left-over fertilizer from the summer crops. 2. They add humus and nitrogen to the soil—the two m'ain factors in producing crops. 3. One of the best mixtures for winter pastures is crimson clover, 15-20 pounds; Italian rye grass, 15 pounds and oats, 2 bushels. 4. Other grains may be substi tuted for oats and rye grass. 5. Another good winter crop for soil improvement dr hay but not so well suited for pasture, is a mixture of vetch, 15 pounds; win-' ter peas, 10 pounds; and wheat or- oats, 2 bushels. 6. For best results it is essential to inoculate the legumes. Vetch or' peas take the same inoculant. •7. In order to get a good stand, and a good growth before cold weather, the cover crop should be sown early, between August 15 and September 30. Ordinarily vetch and peas may be sown as late as October 15th with good re-, suits. GREEN FEED FOR POULTRY Rye Grass; Crimson Clouer— Now is also the time to plan a green feed supply for fall and win ter.. Italian Rye grass and Crim son Clover make excellent poul try grazing.
