The two dead are Johnny Green, 8, don of Mrs. W. G. Green of Deep Gap. and the small son of Mrs. Wilbur Green at Meet Camp. The boy's name could not be learned. At Deep Gap, between Boone and North Wilkesboro a heavy landslide wiped away two filling stations and a house, killing Johnny Green Instantly and Injur ing nine persons. This afternoon, reeouers were still digging Into the ruins In search of the boy’s body. Those injured In th s landslide were Lula Green, 2', Mrs. Mar tha Carroll, 79.

Also injured were Lester Cheeks and Calvin Watson All of them suffered severe body bruises and broken bonea They were taken to^the Watauga hos pital at Boone where their con ditions were describted as very critical. Causing the most damage were landslides, .particularly between Boone apd North Wilkesboro. Throughout the Lenoir section the mountain roads are caving in, many huge trees being buried in the highways. Ail bridges are out in the Boone section. High waters have destroyed much property at Appalachian State Teachers’ college at Boone. The power dam gave way on the New river. Part of the fence sur rounding the athletic field has been washed away and bridge approaches to the campus have been battered down. The college’s two farms in the bottom lands are covered with water.

To facilitate the carrying out of these plane, the President ap pointed the National Defense Ad visory Commission. The General Staff The soldier head of the Army is the Chief Of Staff. He ie re sponsible for planning, develop* Ing, and executing the ArmjKa program for national defense. He has to train a million new men, to make an army of them. Therp are five Divisions under the Chief of Staff, each responsible for a separate function. The Personnel Division takes care of the fighting men of the Army, It enlists, classifies, a-- slgns, promote, paors, transfers, retires, and discharges. It is re sponsible for making the best use of our manpower. The Military Intelligence Division Is respon sible for furnishing all kinds of military Information. The Operations and Training Division handles the training of men from the time they join till they are ready for duty, and be yond that carries out the voca tional and educational work to fit the men tor* new duties and new techniques. The Supply Division provides for all equipment, buildings, storage, transportation, and dis tribution of supplies, care of the sick, and for keeping track of army equipment. The War Plans Division is re sponsible for the use of our arm ed forces In war, the location of fortifications, and for the general strategy Of defense.

That is all merely the first step necessary to see that John has the proper equipment to exist as soldier. But a man can’t fight wlthoDt weapons.

During the past month, July 14 to August 14.' the tourist trade has definitely set a new high for any one month t period in the history. j Already this season there havf been 986 patrons admitted a.t the college vacation spot.

Practically the same situation exists on highway 16 toward the 'effersons. Buggaboo Creek Bridge near Ronda went out on highway 268, 'losing the highway, although it is possible to detour by county roads from Roaring River to El kin. Bridges were washed out on the Tra,phlll county road and with but few excetrtlons something haipponed during the flood to practically every road in the county. The .entire northwestern section of the county is isolated Irom motor traffic. this number, although encourag Ing, Is far below actual replace ment needs. At the present time, the work- stock population numbers 70,000 horses and 310,000 mules. Since 15 years is the average life of these animals. It Is necessary to replace about 5,000 horses and 20.000 -mules each year. Raising a few colts on the farm requires practically no outlay of cash, since the small additional amount of feed required can be raised with little trouble or ex pense. Then, too, the breeding can be timed so that the mare will lose but little time from regu lar farm duties. ‘‘The farmer who does raise a tew colts will not have to sipend from $300 to $600 in cash for a new team when his work animals become too old,” the State Col lege man said.

If the force per forms as expected, it may become a new fighting arm. Including several divisions of the type of the now famous “Panzer” divis ions of the German Army. These divisions, comprising about 10 per cent of the German Army, are what made the “Blitzkrieg*’ poselble. The Infantry is the main fight ing part of the Army. In a battle the Infantry slugs It out with the enemy. In order to under stand what the nation has to do, let us take John Smith, the aver age recrfilt, and see what hap pens to him when he joins the Army, and see what we have to provide him with to make him a soldier. John loins the Infantry today. He raises his right hand and takes the oath of allegiance, and t)y doing that, he sets In motion a long integrated chain of activi ties to supply him with the wherewithal to fight. aothlng An Army First come clothes.

C. Fer guson, extension ginning sipecial- Ist of State College. Probably the spark which set off the lncreased,growlng of long er lint was the one-variety cot ton community plan. In recent years, more and more counties have turned toward the, general standardization of varieties, rea lizing that such a pla‘n would work for their general welfare. “Ten years ago.” Fergusoh said, “fewer than 5 per cent of the gins In the Southeastern states were equipp’-d with extrac tor-feeders for cle£.ning seed cot ton before It went to the gin stands. Today more than 25 out of every 100 are employing ex tractor-feeders to Improve the grade of line tu.-ied out from the varieties farmers now grow and to Improve the efficiency of their gins”. The marked tendency toward longer staple varieties has also brought about the need for more cleaning and drying machinery. Tills equipment makes it much easier to turn out good prepara tion on the ginned lint, the kind of preparation that makes bales attractive to buyers. Ferguson .pointed out that tests at the U. S. Cotton Ginning Laboratory at Stonevllle, Missis sippi show that proper cleaning of seed ctoton benefits the ginned lint, on an average, by one-fifth of a grade with long staple varie ties and two-fifths of a grade with short' staples. At most gins, the higher value of the bales showing better prep aration Is reflected In the price farmers receive for their cotton. John M.
