THE GLEANER
GRAHAM, N.O, JAN. 21, 1937
Local News
? Polioemau Herbert Ausley
baa been confined to bis room (or
a few days on account of illness.
? Witb so much unseasonable
weather, considerable sickness
may be expected. Let caution be
the watchword.
? The Minnie P. Gates auxiliary
of the M. E. church met Mondtiy
afternoon at tbe home of Mrs.
Ernest Thompson.
? It would be news, and good
news, if the clonds would flow
away and give us another peep at
the sun. That luminAry hasn't
shown his face in these parts
8iueeSatnrday.
? Saw a tru cker in town the
first of tbe week. He was loaded
with red-ripe tomatoes aud other
spring vegetables from Florida.
Said he got them about 125 miles
south of Jacksonville. He further
said the crop way down toward
the point bad matured and been
harvested. Speaking of being
warm, he said the beeches were
lined with bathers.
? If there were no bard-surfac
ed roads and such a spell of rain)
weather, such as that of tbe past
month, had come, it would be next
to impossible to get anywhere
with teams or automobiles. Could
there be a stronger argument a
eainst the diversion of road funds?
Of course, such Rpells of weather
are rare, but there is no way of
finding out or guaranteeing that
auother may not come tbe next
wiuter, tbe weatberwise notwith
standing.
? Catting a Door ? Dowu at the
Courthouse a door way is being
cut through the wall between the
offices of the tax collecting depart
ment and the auditor's office.
These two offices have to deal
with each other constantly iu tax
collecting. A door between the
two offices will facilitate their
mutual dealings and save time.
It will obviate going out into the
hallway, aud causing the incident
delay, when it is desired to dis
patch business as quickly as pos
sible.
? Ye scribe passing the store
of W. J. Nicks, long-time dispos
itory of the famous Salem Alma
nac, we mentioned it and he
hxuded us a copy with his com
pliments. The first thing we did
was to look up the "weather fore
cast" for January. We wanted to
get some sort of slant on it. We
didn't get much oalm out of it.
Taa old adage about "all signs
lail in dry weather" ought to be
changed, substituting "wet" for
'dry." It would be a snug fit on
what has happened for about a
month.
? No Court ? A term of the Su
perior Court for the trial of civil
actions was scheduled to begin on
Monday next. Judge Thos. J.
Shaw was designated to preside.
He is sick and cannot hold the
court, and there is no other judge
available, according to informa
tion received from Raleigh. While
Judge Shaw was holding a court
here last fall he became ill and
was not able to continue through
the term of two weeks. While
the law provides for emergency
judges, that law ought to be
amended, so that contingencies
could be met, by permitting the
Governor to designate a compe
tent lawyer as judge to bold the
court.
Social.
On Thursday morning at her
home, N. Main street, Mrs. Frank
W. Moore entertained the Truinp
club. Mrs. Ernest Sellars of Bur
lington and Mrs. Wm. deR Scott
were invited guests. A three
course luncheon was served.
The Contri club was enter
tained Monday night by Mr*.
Maurice MoCraw. High score
was made by Miss Sarah Palmer
Rogers, and other prizes went to
Miss Mary Catherine Holt and
Mrs. Virginia McLean. Dainty
refreshments were served.

Alamance Fanners' Mutual
Fire Insurance Co.
The annual meeting of the poli
cy holders of the Farmer's Mutu
al Fire Insurance Co. was held on
Saturday, 9th inst. A good at
tendance is reported.
This company has been in op
eration for more than 30 years.
During that period many fire
losses have been paid promptly.
Insurance, or protection, is en
deavored to be given at actual
cost, which i s provided for by
a small annnal assessment. In
cluded i n this asseesement i s
enough to pay for running, and
enough to create a surplus t o
meet all losses promptly.
From year to year the surplus,
after paying costs of operation
and all losses, amounts to more
than ten thousand dollars, which
is invested in safe interest-bear
ing securities,
During the past year the Com
pany has paid eight losses caused
by wind, amounting to (339.91,
and ten fire lueses, amounting to
$3, 744. 48. Other expenses
amounted to $2,365.09, leaving a
surplus of $2,867.27 from the
year's business.
At the end of the year 1224
policies were in force, a gain of
135 over the previous year. In
summing up the busiuees, the
past year is oonsidered the best
in the history of the company.
There was no change in officers
for the ensuing year, which are
as follows: F. D. Hornaday,
pres. ; S. E. Tate, vice-pres. ; R.H.

Timely Farm Questions
Answered at State College
Question ? What temperature
should be maintained iu the
brooder house during the first
week?
Answer? The heat should be
regulated so as to maintain a
temperature of 98 degrees at the
outer edge of the canopy and on
a level with the chicks' head for
the first week. This should be
reduced five degrees each day uu
till the sixth week. Avoid run
ning the brooder at a sub-normal
temperature as the crowding will
make chicks very susceptible to
colds. The brooder should be
started ttiree days beiore the
chicks are to be placed in the
house so that the operator may
make any required adjustments.
Question ? How can I control
flea beetles in tobacco plant beds?
Answer ? A trap bed built
around the main bed will give ex
cellent results. A diagram show
ing how to build this trap bed
with fnll directions as to con
struction are given in Extension
Circular No. 174 on Control of
Tobacco Insects and a copy will
be sent free npon application to
the Agricultnral Editor at State
College, Raleigh. The insects al
so may be controlled by poisoning
the bed with mixture of one
pound of Paris gr<ten and five
pouuds of arsenate of lead ap
plied at the rate of one-half pouod
to each 100 square yards of bed.
The application should be made
when i tie plants are dry as they
are easily bnrned when moist
with dew or raiu.
Question ? What can I do for
my sows that have the blitggers '
and are losing the use o( their 1
hind legs?
Answer ? This trouble, iu all
probability, is caused by a defi
ciency in the ratiou and can be
corrected by subetiiutiug yellow
corn for whit? corn, addiug abiut
0 percent of alfalfa weal to the
ration, or by giviug one ounce of
cod liver oil daily. Experimental
results Bhow that pasturing green
rye also relieved me symptoms of
pigs suffering from vitauj.u A de
ficiency. Results of the?e experi
ments and recommendations for
correction are louud in Tecbuical
Bulletin No. 52 aud copies may
be obtained by writiu* the Agri
cultural Editor, Slate College.

Nations of World
Allot Year 1939
To Mew York Fair
World Exposition Already
Growing Up; Seeks Active
Participation of State
NEW YORK. (Special).? The New
fork World'* Fair. Id which every state
In the nation must inevitably take small
gr prominent part, is out of its Infancy.
Preparatory construction goes on night
and day at the Flushing Meadow Sit*
sf lZlttt acres at the geographical cen
tra of New York City A steady Sow of
activities and announcements emanates
trom the Fair Corporation headquarters
on four floors of the Empire State build
ing. Judging from ill of these, the Fair is
? lusty, growing institution that will
reach full maturity?no question about
it ? by the scheduled opening day. April
10. 1939.
TJie task of grading the site Is about
half completed. Battalions of men with
trucks have already moved over 3.000,
D00 cubic yards of dry fill in tht process
of turning the waste marsh landi of the
Flushing River basin Into park ground.
Dther battalions are scooping out "mead
ow mat" for use ?s fertile top soil for
the made lands, and In so doing excavate
the beds for the two large lagoons fea
tured In plans for the Fair.
The first of the 300 structures which,
?ccording to estimates, will house the
1939 Fair, has been completed and is
r;adj for occupancy. This is the head
juarters building for the field forces of
today and the employment department
of the exposition period.
Scheduled for early In the new year
Is the start of actual construction of the
(900.000 Administration building. The de
signs for this structure, let under ar
chitectural contract a few weeks ago, art
clearing the day of their approval in the
Corporation's offices. Upon completion
of this building, late in August. 1937, the
Fair headquarters, bag. baggage and sales
offices, moves to the exposition site.
'The most splendid and significant edi
fice projected for the 1939 international
exposition," the Theme building, as de
scribed at Fair headquarters, Is also well
along in its contractual period. The esti
mated cost of this great building for the
"Thematic Centre" of the exposition is
let at $1,200,000. The preliminary designs
are to be finished in about eight weeks
and the final plans submitted within four
weeks thereafter. Construction is sched
uled to start immediately the designs
are completed.
From this Theme centre will radiate
all that is to be the 1939 Fair as con
ceived by Its founders and rendered into
concrete terminology and model by the
Fair's Board of Dssign.
"Our Job from now on is to give phys
ical expression to the plan and theme
of the Fair as announced and fcs set down
Dn paper In our headquarters," says
Grover Whalen. President of the Fair
Corporation.
"Starting next April 1, we plan to com
plete the design of one major building
every ten days for a period of seven
months. In all, we expect to design no
less than 30 major buildings to house the
exhibits from every part of the world.
Some 300 structures, in all, are planned
for the Flushing Meadow site, within a
few minutes' ride from Manhattan."
Without solicitation on the part of the
Fair, more than 250 American business
house- and Institutions have begun pre
liminary conversations regarding their
participation and are already planning
exhibits. Five of the great nations of the
world have already assured the Corpora
tion that they would erect their own
buildings, while no less than 32 other na
tions have Informally Indicated their
desire to participate.
And then, on top of all this display of
keen Interest, comes the announcement
that the International Convention Bu
reau, meeting In Paris, has allocated the
year 1939 to the New York Fair. This
means that the New York Fair has ex
clusive ranking as the "one international
exposition" of 1939, and assures it of the
active support of the 21 nations signing
the agreement.
President Roosevelt has just extended
official invitation to the nations of the
world. Governor Herbert H. Lehman, of
the host State of New York, has extend
ed invitation to the governors and resi
dents of 47 states. Grover Whalen, like
wise, has invited the governors in a let
ter pointing out that "the commercial
consequences of the New York World's
Fair are so great and important that they
alone would justify the active participa
tion of every state."
Fair Commissioners are already In
South America and Europe. Still others
are on their way to the Far East and
other foreign shores Major Dennis E
Nolan, retired, as head of the Depart
ment of Foreign. State and Municipal
Participation, will himself make .repre
sentation to the governors and legisla
tures of the various states.
Meanwhile, under the directloi. of Har
vey D. Gibson. President of the Manu
facturers Trust Company, and Richard
Whitney, former president of the New
York Stock Exchange, the prominent fig
ures in the financial capital conducted
a 28-day campaign to sell $27,829 500 In
debenture bonds of the Fair to finance
the construction period
Every confidence is being expressed
that the Fair not only will "pay its way."
but that it will bring a oillion dollars
more of revenue into Greater New York
and stimulate American industr} in gen- |
era! to an extent many fold that amount.
The total cost of producing New York's
Fair, Including collateral improvements,
is set at S125.00c.000 Statisticians esti
mate that the attendance will total more
than 50.000.000 persons
The City of New York, the State of
New York, and the Government of the
United States, according to expectations,
will account for $35,000,000 of the total
expenditures and thus lend an official
backing never before achieved.
Births and Deaths
It Is estimated that 100,000 persons
are born every day and 100,000 die. |
The population of the world, therefore,
l? Increasing by about 50,000 dally.
