Although tiewing the tremendous problems confronting agriculture in Wilkes county, our accomplishments would seem comparatively small. The county does, however, offer unlimited opportunities for more scientific agriculture and we as Extension Wlorkers have found you people ready and willing to cooperate in the fullest. Tied in with scientific agricolture should be thorough understanding of Land Use. A program which would include the cooperation and work of all governmental agencies would do much *to pro mote and direct the future of agriculture in this county. jnatBBt At the weekly Soont- (-eiiMtlnc on Fehm^ 9, Troop SS held Parents night as last week was National Boy Scout Week.

Laughton Gets New Star For Leading Lady We Always Appreciate Your Patronage WHEN YOU HAVE SOME THING TO SHIP FROM NORTH WILKESBORO TO STATESVILLE and POINTS BEYOND. JUST PHONE US. WE WILL CALL PROMPT LY. North Wilkesboro and Statesville Express Co. Phone 74 Sam Cashion, Manager Charles Laughton in one of uis rare present-day roles and v ivien Leigh in her first srceen appear ance since she elicited the year’s mo.5t enthusiastic raves as the Scarlett O’Hara of “Gone With the Wind" are the notworthy at tractions in “Sidewalks of Lon don,” the new Paramount co-medy drama which oqiens next Tuesday at the Liberty Theatre. I,Aughton’s return to the screen j is always an event of front-rank 1 importance, but his appearance in ("Sidewalks of Ixtndon’’ without 1 his traditional elaborate make-up (and luxurious costuming is an even greater occasion. The man seen as such diverse characters as “Henry VIII,’’ 'Clipiain Blight,’ “Rembrandt” apd “The Hunch back’’ now plays a simple, happy- go-lucky London sidewalk enter tainer, whose tragedy is his sweetheart’s rise to stardom in the theatre. Miss Leigh, who now performs with Laughton for the first time, plays his tempestuous sweetheart, the girl who fights with him as violently as she loves him, pays for her success with his unhajipi- ness, yet remains strangely devot ed to him even when she is the toast of London and he is still a pavement player. According to advance reports, she packs the picture with the warmth, color and fiery spirit that won her the Scarlett O’Hara sweeqwtakes over Hollywood’^nKwt^fagjjgu^ jg^tjress- Wllkes county ranks second in the percentage of farm land in forests. Farmers should manage their forest land in a way that ■will give maximum returns from every acre. Trees should be plant ed on a large acreage of the eroded slopes that are now in other crops. The production of corn per acre should be increased, and more attention should be devoted to improving our pastures by the addition of organic matter, lime and phosphate. Farm crops and pastures are the foundation of the livestock industry. There should be a better 'balance be tween crop production and ani mal production in Wilkes county. Perhaps our greatest prablem is soil erosion. Farmers should avail themselves of every oppor tunity to use the agencies that the government has ittwWed f^lr' them in order that they may do better farming. More attention should be devoted to terracing, lespedeza, strip-cropping and oth er practices that will control erosion. Wilikes county is being offered opportunities to make progress as never before and it is up to its farmers to take advantage of hese opportunities. 1 sincerely hope the goals at tained will only serve to stimu late a more sincere interest in a more improved agriculture for the county. Wilke.s county is making pro gress rapidly, and I predict that it will become one of the 'best agricultural counties in North Carolina. I have accepted a position with the Agricultural Extension Serv ice in Raleigh, North Carolina, and will start work February 15th. I am hoping my new job will allow me to continue to work with you people even though it may 'be more indirect. Positions Are Open For Skilled Workers The storj’ of “Slde'walks of London” comes from the pen of Olemence Dane, who is well knorwn as the authoress of such hits as “A Bill of Divorcement” and “Wild December.’’ She chose as her principal characters the most picturesque tout perhaps least heard-of people lin the show world, the “tonskers” who sing, dance and entertain for pennies on London streets.
