Timely Farm Question
Question: What is the right a-
mount of cotton seed to plant on
one acre?
Answer: Do not use less than
one and one-half bushels to the
acre of seed that germinates 80
percent or better. With a lower
germination a higher rate of seed
should be used. Where the seed
have been treated with ethyl mer
cury chloride from four to five
pecks of seed is sufficient. In all
cases, the seed shoulJ be treated
before planting to prevent damp
ing-off disease and the saving in
planting seed will more than pay
the cost of treating. See your
^:ounty Agent about thia treat
ment.

The assets of North
Building and Loan and Federal
Savings and Loan Associations
went over the one hundred mil
lion mark In .March, according to
J. B. Williams, Secretary of North
Wilkesboro Building and Loan
Association, North Wilkesboro.
On December 31, 1939, the
combined assets of building and
loan associations and Federal sav
ings and loan associations reach
ed the total of $98,471,925. This
represents an increase of 14.1 per
cent over December 31. 1938.
This figure represents a new all
time high in assets, the previous
highest total having been in 1929
when the assets were $95,848,-
056.86. Another new high was
made in the loan activities of
these home financing Institutions
tor 115,671 loans were made to
the large amount of $25,930,784,
which was the largest in the past
decade. The total Reserves tor
Contingencies hit a new high on
December 31, of this past year,
when they amounted to $2,783,-
5 89. The associations were also
in a much more liquid position
than ever before.
There are 177 building and
loan and Federal savings and
loan associations in North Caro
lina, all of which belong to the
North Carolina Building and
Loan League. The League, of
which Martin F. Gaudian of Ra
leigh is Executive Secretary. give.s
a valuable consultation service to
the a.ssociations by keeping them
informed of all the latest devel
opments in home financing, not
only in North Ca’olina but in the
entire country.
An ever inci.''psin,? percentage
)f the loans of these home financ-
ng institution.^ are being devoted
.0 construction of homes, as
shown by the fact that more than
40 per cent of all loans during
1939 were of this type. During
the past year. 6.14 6 new homes
were erected through loans of
.$11,146,806 made by these local
nstitutions This represents an in
crease of two and one half mil
lion dollars over the 193,8 figure.
In addition, they enabled 3,678
individuals to purchase homes
valued at more than five and one
half million dollars. The balance
of over nine million dollars in
loans of the associations were
made for repairs, refinancing, and
other miscellaneous purposes. The
building and loan associations,
through the.se loans, are not only
helping to build the communities
of North Carolina and creating
taxable values but also making
individuals become more self-re
liant and financially independent
through home ownership and en
couraging thrift. Their import
ance as savings institutions is
shown by the fact that during
1939 they declared dividends or
profits of $2.9S2.:i4S to 13,5.744
shareholders.
The increased competition
whicii the ituilding. savings and
loan associations are facing in the
home mortgage field has quicken-
l.'d the pul.se of the entire husi-
I Iiess. More lliaii three quarters

in short llie enti.» business has
been pepped up to meet the chal

! of this enthusiasm was the great

attended by more than one-third
of the Directors of the slate.
To aspiring young Journalists
who look upon their chosen ca-
Carolina reers as a glamorous profession,
Dorothy Kllgallen, New York
columnist, has a word to say.
Reporting Is a hard job de
manding the utmost In personal
sacrifice and physical strength.
Miss Kllgallen writes in the May
Issue of Cosmopolitan. But movies
have given young people the idea
that newspaper work Is all .horset-
play and front page by-line, and
this Is tar from the truth.
There are few short cuts* to
page one and few rules for be
coming a great journalist, she
says, but there are some things
you must, and some things you
cannot do. Here they are in six
ea.sy lessons:
Lesson 1—You’ve got to be
pretty smart to start with. You
must be able to talk with any and
every one on any and every sub
ject.
Lesson 2—Be accurate. The
best story in the world is not good
if it’s not accurate.
Lesson j—You need stamina.
A girl who faints easily or cannot
look at a dead body had better
find herself another career.
Lesson 4—Being a girl doesn’t
help: It makes the job harder in
every respect.
Lesson 5—Most of the interest
ing people aren’t interesting.
You have to make them so.
Lesson 6—Never buy a round-
dr when yen'll be ' j
- In addition, eenh1wb«'|tiM Kll--'
gallen, a good , should
have tact, perunasiyenese, persist
ence, pencils and good judgment;
know where the nearest phone Is
and have plenty of nickels. Fin
ally a little luqk will do no
harm.
