The new farm act Is expected to prove of greater benefit to WUkes farmers because of the fact that It Includes more dlvw- slfled farming than the triple A and places emphasis on soil Im provement and conservatioB, which are becoming more gener ally recognized as the most essen tia! nqeds of agriculture. Many have been heard to speak favor ably of the act] because there Is nothing compulsory, the farmer merely getting paid for t’je pro visions he wishes to carry ont voluntarily. Epidemic Scarlet Fever Is Feared Several New Cases Reported In North Wilkesboro and Rural Sections Several new cases of scariat fever in North Wilkesboro and in a number of rural communities hav© caused the WUkes county health department to is_sue a warning for parents to keep their children out of public gatherings until the threatened epidemic subsides.
