Looking at the 1840 ecnool-
tnral picture In North Carolina
from a production standpoint,
prospects for crops are good, says
E. C. Blair, agronomist of the
of elections, a^nnonnced Thursday
he would call six distrlot meetings
of county election officials to ex
plain election law changes made
by the last legislature.
Particular stress will toe placed
on explanations of a measure rt,-
qulring each county either to hold
a now registration of voters or to
re-Ust Republican and Democrat
ic voters on separate books, he
said.
The state board of elections
will meet here March 16 to close
the filing books for state offices
and to name county boards of
elections.. Each county board will
meet at 11 a. m. March 23 in the
office of the county’s clerk of
court to decide whether *a new
registration will be necessary.
The first district meeting will
be held March 25 in Asheville,
and the last will be held March
30 in Edenton.
“This year we have an entire
new system, and that’s why we
are interested In getting the sys
tem set up right.’’ said Lucas.
A schedule of the district
meetings, with the counties to be
represented at each, follows:
March 25 at Asheville—Chero
kee, Clay, Graham, Macon, Swain,
Jackson, Transylvania, Haywood,
Henderson, Buncombe, Madison,
Polk, Rutherford, McDowell, Yan-
For one thing, farm ora have
sown 130,000 acres in winter le
gumes, a far greater acreage than
ever before. If these legumes are
allowed to grow and gather nitro
gen until April and are tnrned
under and followed by corn, an
Increase of 10 bushels of corn to
the acre, or a total of 1)300,000
bushelsi, should result.
Also, Tar Heel growers' had
911.000 acres in lespedeza last
year. As lespedeza usually occu
pies the land for two years, the
chances are that only half this
acreage will -be used for another
crop this year. If planted to corn,
the land should produce 10 bush
els more to the acre than former
ly. Roughly, this would mean an
increase of 450,000 acres, or 4,-
500.000 bushels of corn.
Blaid said there is another
reason why crops In the Piedmont
should be good this year. The

plowed into the soil last fall has

of it will be usable by 1940 crops
than would have been the case
had plowing been delayed until

A woman driver ran into an
