84th Birthday REV. E. H. DAVIS SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY Membeis of the Men's Bible Class ot the Loutoburg Methodist Church gathered at the home of Rev. E. H. Davis on Monday, I July 3, to pay h?or and respect to their beloved teacher on the| occasion of hi# eighty-fourth birthday. The affair was a sur prise one. A sumptuous barbe cue supper was Berved on the lawn of historic Green Hill, the liomc of Mr. Davis. E. P. Thomas, president of the Class, called on Dr. Walter Pat ten for the Invocation. Rev. Forrest D. Hedden then delivered Mr. Davis a token of love from the Class with most appropriate words. Mr. Davis accepted the gift and expressed appreciation for this gesture of devotion in his rare and peculiarly witty style, j which unique characteristic has! enHeared him to all whose happy privilege it has been to know him. He concluded his remarks ! with the challenge that the 35 class members present for thisj auspicious occasion to be at Sun-i day School next Sunday morning. ! This class of men has done some splendid local work under the able leadership of its veteran teacher, who is still young in spirit and mind, though quite mature in years. The credit for the success of' this surprise barbecue supper { goes to Louis A.

Once in the corn fields,1 they can be killed with a nico tine spray, but this requires con-| stant spraying for about 10 days, or as long as the migration is on. Insufficient supplies of legume and grass seed are reported. In creased acreage in food crops, winter-killing of alfalfa and red clover, lack of labor, a brisk de mand for hay, and the uncertain ty of seed prices are some of the contributing factors. 4i * *< * ****** * * TRIPLE A NEWS * ? ? * Ire T.

Floyd, Director Plant Food Institute of N. C. and Va? Inc.) From a recent study of the to bacco in the drought areas of the eastern part of the State, it was very noticeable that the tobacco that is suffering worse In most cases had not been plowed in two or three weeks. In time of drought such as we have now, U is very essential to plow tobacco regularly and it usually requires a little more plowing than it would under normal seasonal conditions. In many fields that we studied where tobacco was suffering most, the soil around the plants and ev en out in the middle of the rows was very hard. In some instan ces it would appear that the sail was plowed a little too wet early in the . spring. On soils with plenty of organic matter tobacco looked much better than on soils of the same type with very little1 or no organic matter. Farmers everyhere that we vis ited are puzzled to know what to do. Based on past experience and observation where tobacco is not more than 2 1-2 to 3 fett tall even though plowed out a week or two ago for the last time, it should be plowed again because the plants need to make a new growth and in most cases there Is not enough dirt around the stalk to cause the plants to develop an adequate root system and if we should have a long wet spell, which is usually the case follow ing a long dry spell, there would be a considerable amount of drowned tobacco as it is plowed at the present time. The best type of plowing to) I U. S. ARMY BEER MADE IN ITALY ALLIED FORCE ADVANCE PRESS HEADQUARTERS, Italy ? Thirsty, battleweary American soldiers on the VUth Army Allied Beachhead today are getting a tegular ration of Amer ican type beer due largely to the in genuity of a St Louis Lieutenant and ? Toledo Sergeant. A tow months ago. Lieutenant Al lan J. Barney, former brewery chem ist, and Sergeant Charles F. Koerber, former advertising manager of a brewery, received the following in structioiu from the Army: "Your Job la to make beer for the Armed forces ta Italy. 1%e quality of the beer will be of high standard and comparable to American products." "It was a tough assignment," Lieu tenant Barney said. "We arrived in Naples and the Peroni Brewery was turned over to us. To put It bluntly. kMB functioning V Capacity but just Mom the Allies entered Naples list German lieutenant had place a meas. The plant had the brewery and done his best te S*erless for some By scrounging, begging and Impro vising, Lieutenant Barney and Ser geant Koerber got the plant cleaned up and put in working order. They rounded up all the former Italian employees of the brewery with the exception of the brewinaster and put them to work. The brewmaster. an avowed admirer of Hitler, .left with the Germans and has not been heard of since. One difficulty after another, how ever, was worked out The plant'i process of ^brewing was different from American methods and they had no reference books nor manual! Uj guide them. However, by Febrturv 15 the first brew was undei wav The first batch of beer ?ai rackod off in bottles and kegs and 20.1100 gallons were sent to soldiers serving on the Anzio Beachhead. The be?r ration will go to Combat troops untU ? sufficient backlog is built up, thea all the American troops serving in Italy will get their ration. And that Jmj shouldn't be tar oil since the ' capacity of the brewery la over 80,000 barrels a year. 1 give tobacco at this time is to I use a one-horse turn plow and i an 18 inch sweep to the shank by ( tha same bolt that you use in at taching the wing or moldboard. j The large wing or moldboard should be used and ' this 18 inch, sweep will permit the point of the turn plow to run in the mld-j die of the row which will/not dis-Ji turb the present root system. In this step of cultivation the plow | should run only deep enough to keep the soil moving over the moldboard and sweep smoothly. i The sweep will take the fresh soil i from the moldboard up under the leaves and around the stalk. This will mean that you will be .able to get fresh dirt around the stalk and the soil will be loose for the entire bed. even out to the middle of the row. It is necessary to have the soil loose from the bed and including the middle to get adequate aeration for the tobacco to make the necessary growth to overcome the condition caused by the long drought. Where tobacco Is not more than 2 feet tall it would be ad visable to burst the middles with a turn plow with a very small moldboard or an old moldboard broke into half, then attach a 14 Inch sweep to the turn plow as described above. Allow the plow to run deep so that the soil can be thoroughly loosened. To do this properly it will require two furrows in each middle. By do ing this, it will make loose soil available to move around the plants of tobacco as described above.

C. LITTLE RIVER ICE CONfANY Zebulon, N. C. Louisburg, N. C. July 3, 1944 To Our Customers: * We have waited a long, long time to take this step, j>ut at long last we are compelled to make price increases in a few cuts of ice. These in creases effect only a small percentage of our tonnage, but they arei nec essary account of greatly increased expenses in manufacturing and de livering. Almost all plants in this section have had higher prices- than ours all along and we hope you will understand that our present small increase only brings otxr ceiling to the level other plants have had for over two years. Little River customers', therefore, have enjoyed for two years lower than average ice prices ? and even now we are not in creasing to the levels of a lot of plants. Effective Sunday; July 9th, our prices will be as follows: DELIVERED . - PLATFORM 25 Pounds (Minimum cut) 50 Pounds u 100 Pounds 150 Pounds 200 Pounds 300 Pounds > .15 .30 .60 .75 1.00 1.40 1 25 Pounds (Minimum cut) 50 Pounds ipO Pounds tfOBfcmdfl ?'> , 200 Pounds 300 Pounds .15 .25 .50 .75 .90 1.20 Another 'thing we mutt face is that although we have installed a mag nificent brand new plant we still won't have quite enough ice to give everyone alt he wants, and rationing may be necessary at times^ There fore, if' you come to our platform and we only have a 25 or 60 pound piece foi' you try to bear with us and 100$ at our side of the picture. Remember, we have spent a fortune to give you all the ice you want, but the war time demand over taxes any reasonable peacetime produc tion of ice and our plant is inadequate TODAY. Tomorrow we will have more ice than we can possibly sell. However, we are planning a brand new plant for Louisburg this fall and winter, to relieve the. pressurejiext year, and with this assurance on our part of a willingness to invest in TOU we solicit your continued use of ICE.
