It is almost ns If a new sort of humanity had been produced— rolled up on ns by the sheer dc- Telopment and fruitfulness, and beating up and pouring over, and expansion of the earth. Great ele mental forces silently working ont the destiny of man hare seiteJ the happy plowman and touched his eyes with Tlsion. Some of them rich bv revelation, by habits of great seeing and great doing. Too many, however, hare used their souls in getting their riches, their mastery over money, but It is by discovering other men’s soals, and picking out the men who had them, and gathering these around them, that their success has been kept. But thanks to the Creator, many men are rich bv some migh ty, silent sudden service they have done to a whole country at once. Henry Ford or the late Will Rogers didn’t ’lave time to lose their souls. There is a sense in which thev mi.ght he called "The Innocents of R'ches.” When we come to study the Surat.ion of human life, it is im possible to accept the view that the high mortality between the ages of 70 and 75 indicate a natural limit to human life. The fact that many men, who live a- way from congested centers, or have not raced at breakneck speed after the accumulation of riches, and, aro well preserved at 70 or 75, both physically and Intellectually, mekee It Impossible to regard age ** the natural lim it of life. Ute Is A BiAMe Philosophers snOi as Plato, poets such as MVebael Angelo, Titian and Franf Hales, President and farmer such as George Wash ington, produce some of their most Important works When they had passed what some regarded as their limit of life. It has been noticed that most centenarians have been people who were poor or In bumble elr- cumstances. Whose lives had been extremely simple. Poverty gener ally brings with it sobriety, es pecially in old age, and sobriety is certainly favorable to long life. Life Itself is a bubble and a scepticism, and a sleep within a sleep. Grant it, and .as much more as you will, heed your private dreams? you will not be missed in the scoring and scepticism: there are enough of them: stay on your plot of earth and toil, until the rest are agreed what to do about. Your sickness, they say, and your puny habit, require that you do this or avoid that, but know that your life is a flitting state. A tent for a night pitched where you mav. So you, sick or well, must finish that stint. I love a boy reading in a book—I’ve seen one reading, re cently, just for a moment’s rest atop a stump in a cotton field. I love him as he eazes at a drawing or east: for what are these mil lions who read and behold, but Incipient farmers, industrialists, writers and sculptors? Not idle heirs of parental riches. Ail a little more in .America today, of that quality which now reads and sees, and they will seize the pen and chisel and heco.me the cente narians of a mellowed age. How ■'ll !

When tills is done, the agents and ftekl men will make offidal records of the transfers that will be used next year in calculating largter quotas for producers who have heavy yields this year, ex plained E. Y. Floyd, AAA execu tive officer at State College. A number of growers over the State have produced good yields this season, he continued, and their production exceeds the cards, jflut other growers' with short crops won’t use up the fall amount of their cards. All growers with excess leaf to sell should be able to get all the additional cards they need, Floyd commented, for the State quota is large enough to cover all the weed that Tar Heel growers will have to market this year. He also pointed out that those who have a larger quota than they need will be able to g^t com pensatior. for part of their lower production by s4Hing their sur plus quota cards at the rate of not more than five cents a pound fixed by the AAA. Growers who have surplus to bacco that will sell for more than 10 cents a pound will find it cheaper to buy extra cards than to pay the tax. But it may be cheaper to pay the ta^ on leaf selling for less than 10 cents pound. The tax on all tobacco without marketing cards will be half the sales price or three cents a pound —^whichever is higher. Careless Cutting Is Ruinous to Woods A little care in the selection of wood for peanut poles and tobacco flue wood will prevent the remov al of protective cover from land which might otherwise be subject to erosion, according to State Co ordinator E. B. Garrett of the Soil Conservation Service. Thousands of young pines are cut each year and used only for a few weeks as peanut poles, Gar rett points out. Large numbers of other trees are also cut to pro vide flue wood for curing tobacco. In many cases steep slopes and erosion areas are clear cut, leav ing no protection for the soil and very often no chance for reseed ing. There are other stands, howev er, which need thinning when the rate of growth begins to slow down. Such stands will be im proved if poorly .shaped and unde- sirai)lo tree.s are removed for use a.-: peanut poles, tobacco Hue wood or foi- cord wood as needed. The more desirable trees will thus be left for a future crop of sawlogs.

But ah! presently comes a day, or it may be only a half- hour. with its angel-whispering, —which discomfits the conclus ions of natio’js anti of years! Tomorrow again, everything looks real and angular. The ha bitual standards are reinstated. Common sense becomes as rare as genius,—is the basis of genius, and, experience is hand and foot to every enterprise. Of what use is fortune or talent to a cold and defective person? Who cares what sensibility or discrimination a man has at sometime shown, if he falls a- sleep on his job? or if be laughs and giggles with the masses? of if he doesn’t appologize for his rudeness? or Is affected with too much egotism? or thinks of his dollar? or cannot go buy food? or has mistreated a child in boy hood? Of what use, if the brain is too cold or too hot, and ycu do not care enough for results, to stimulate you to experiment, and hold you up In It? Of what use to make heroic- vow's of amendment, if the same old law-breaker,s is 'to keep them.

Morris, ex tension economist in food conser vation at State College. The Scuppemong, Thomas, Lsi- (da, Nish, Eden, James, Memory, Snuth, and Flowers grapes of the Muscadine family make good juice, she added. The Thomas is perhaps the best, and does not need the addition of any sugar. Select firm, ripe grapes for mak ing juice. If a large quantity of juice is to be made, a grape crusher will be needed, but for smaller amounts the grapes can be mashed in a dishpan with a po tato masher or a bottle. After crushing, pour the grapes into a cheesecloth bag and strain off the juice. Allow the juice to stand in buckets for an hour to settle, then filter it through a flannel Jeljy jbag and pour at once into hot, sterilized pars. Partially seal the jars and place them in a hot water canner. Cover the jars with water. .When the water begins to boil vigorous ly, take the canner off the stove, remove the jars, and complete the seal. Mrs. Morris "\pointed out that when the water begins to boil vigorously, the temperature inside the jars will be approxi mately 185 degrees F. Higher temperatures will impair the flavor of the juice. The hulls left in the cheese cloth bag may be used to make grape paste stock. Cook the grape pulps slowly in a large dish pan until the seeds begin to sep arate from the pulp. Stir con stantly with a wooden spoon while cooking, as the pulps scorch eas- iiy. Remove pan from the stove. Pour the pulp through a colland- er or use st potato ricer to re move the seed. Pour the hot pulp into hot, sterilized pars and pro cess in a hot water canner for 30 minutes at boiling temperature. Remove jars from canner, com plete the seal, and store until the stock is to be used for making grape paste. The pragnm > farmen an oniortiplly t« mneh-needed phos^te tP daw soils, according to E. y.r'jPl^nl.] AAA executive officer at State College. ^ Farmers cooperating in the pro gram can earn part of their AAA payment by applying pl^phate to their land, or th^ can secure tri- ple-superphospbate free from the AAA in Heu of part of their pay ment. No chaige is made for the triple-superphosphate, which is obtained from the TVA and othe" producers, Floyd added, but the farmers are asked to pay the transportation costs. Triplei-su- perphosphate is highly concen trated, and does not cost as much to ship as other phosphates. Most North Carolina soils can be greatly improved by applica tions ol phosphate, and many fanners whose soil is too acid al so apply lime to their fields. Lime applications will also help farmers earn their AAA payment. Under the program, the phos phate should be applied in con nection, with perennial or biennial legumelp, perennial grasses, win ter legumes, lespedeza, crotalaria, or permanent pasture. Growers who have used phos phate in the past report that* it makes these crops produce a thick and luxurious g:rowth and when the legumes are plowed under, the yield of succeeding crops such as com, wheat, and other small grains is greatly increased. Some farmers have doubled and trebled grain yields by applying phos. phate to legumes and then plow ing under a g^rowth of these soil building crops. i»i A JltArday «f|b^ Thv Plrdgtom,^w]i|itii tha of ' Killing Apples For Exhibit," iriii.ba pat ov by Sam Gray Jane Bur- chette, ot Ronds', and M.
