State College Answers 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. “I turned the way I signaled,” ^4|said the lady, indignantly, after the crash. “I know it.’’ retorted the man, •‘that’s what fooled rae.’’ NOTICE OF S.4LE OF Under and by virtue of an or der of the Superior Court of Wilkes County, entitled “Wilkes County versus W.

McDUFFIK, m Assets Increase Reporter’* 'P«tlnir«y Filled With'Hurdlte 4-22-4t-(M ) Conimissioner. SAMPSON’S S. C. R. FOR DISCOMFORTS DUE TO COLDS—COUGHS 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.

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.
