Keep that in mind in caring for the pullet flock during the late summer and fall. See that they are well fed on growing mash, whole oats and green feed. The growing mash helps build a good egg factory. Corn puts weight on the bird and lays on a reserve of fat for the heavy laying period. Oats furnish fiber, help resistance against disease, feather picking, blow outs or prolapses. Green feed furnishes succulence, minerals and vitamins, and is rich in other essential food factors. A liberal supply of green feed cuts feed bills and helps to grow q honifhv millet Oreen feed is more important during the growing stage than it is after the pullets come into laying, but even then it helps to reduce the feed BUYING LUGS I Will Buy J Graded or Ungraded TOBACCO Every Day At CRUTCHFIELD'S Warehouse In Whiteville AnH Will P-y HIGHEST PRICE D?:ui~ uoaiuir Bring Your Serial Number A.

July 29.?Politics and foreign affairs continue to mingle in all conversations in this hot and humid world center. Congress is expected to concentrate on several items of national defense this week. They are again settling down after three weeks of sporadic recesses. There is some concern mat the solons may be inclined to handle only emergency matters and postpone langtrange subjects, such as the pending excess profits tax. The under-cover tug-of-war between advocates of quick action in preparedness programs and the revenue-grabbers will probably come out in the open shortly. The amortization policy relating to production for defense is unsettled, but pressure is increasing for a break in the stalemate. In the end it is expected the Treasury will be forced to yield to emergency conditions and permit separate Congressional action, on the tax issue now preventing building of special factories for essential war materials. -* - * -' -? An euorc is oemg mouc m \^v?. gressional circles to keep the compulsory matter on a non-political basis. With several millions required to register for training under the terms of pending measures the subject is bound to have political repercussions. Several million men will be carrying registration cards containing intimate details of their lives before elections thus making each member of their family conscious of the liabilities for defense g>urposes. Congress seems determined to soften the economic and social effect of forced military training by inserting safeguards protecting the jobs of draftees. Surveys have indicated that many women who would normally oppose military training for their sons, husbill and insures better health of the flock. For late summer grazing and green feed, sowed young green cbrn is being used to good advantage, as well as Sudan grass, wheat, oats, barley, soybeans and alfalfa. Plant a green feed crop for the pullets now if ample grazing has not already been provided for the flock. It is a good paying investment. DONT RUIN GOOD PULLETS Many poultry raisers ruin their pullets by rushing them with laying mash because egg prices are rising -sharply in August. Let the pullets mature normally on the growing mash, corn, oats and green feed. Wait until they reach as much as 20% production before changing to a laying mash. Never move a flock from one house to another and change feed -* Anh. a i uiu isamc utile:, tuanc uiuj one change at a time. Feeding laying mash too early or feeding the pullets too heavy on wheat may rush them into laying before full maturity is reached. This results in a long period of small eggs when the flock does come into production. :OBACCO AT SLES TEVILLE d George Blair ANAGERS WITHOUT! iy Wise and Pound no economy in prac"Do Without." You things in the home rm go along as they have the things you greater costs later. "rading Co. BY, Proprietor - - - N. C. bands and brothers are less antagonistic since official assurances have been given that no overseas service is contemplated. Closely tied with the compulsory training plan is a strong demand, particularly in the Senate, for drafting capital at the same time. Senator Lee, of Oklahoma, introduced a bill a few days ago intended to draft money in time of war, and possibly now, instead of borrowing it on a voluntary basis. Lee wants to reach tax exempt bonds and other tax escape devices. Senator Wheeler, of Montana, has conscription of profits in an emergency when men jare drafted into the military servj ice. Members of the Senate Finance Committee have pointed out ! that it will be practically impossible for industry or business to wax fat in profits from military preparedness under the terms of the excess profits bill now awaiting action in the Senate and House. This third term issue is shaping to a point where Congress ! may be used as a forum on the subject. A Senate Judiciary subcommittee has indicated a willingness to conduct open hearings on a long-buried resolution proposing to limit a Presidential ' term. The chairman of the subI committee is none other than Senator Burke, of Nebraska, a leader of the anti-third term movement. Whether the proRoosevelt Senators are strong enough to block such proceedings will not be known for several days. Some years ago the Senate went on record as opposed to a President succeeding himself at the end of a second term. These hearings will, of course, offer a spring-board for publicity on the question and place the Roosevelt forces on the defensive early in the campaign. It is claimed that several Democratic legislators, who are privately against another term for Mr. Roosevelt, will be obliged for reasons of I political expediency to defend his I position. The status of Henry Wallace, the Democratic vice-presidential candidate, is stirring ac rumpus in both camps. The storm over his ' retention of his portfolio in the | cabinet may subside when the [notification ceremonies, an unnecessary and time-worn ritual, lace's resignation as Secretary of are concluded next month. WalAgriculture is in the offing. His friends are reluctant to see him relinquish this powerful position where he distributes largesse in the form of government bounties to farmers under the Agricultural Adjustment Act. The political ramifications of a candidate with money bags are enormous. The official Department report this week reveals "government payments in the first 6 months of 1940 amounted to 410 million dollars, compared with 414 million dollars in the corresponding period last year". Signs continue to multiply that our legislators are chafing under the necessity of remaining in Washington. They do not dare return to their homes because their political opponents will [make capital out of their absence from duty. On the other hand, they are concerned that their rivals will undermine their standing with the constituents at a time when they cannot be on the ground to personally combat these campaign tactics. The responsibilities for re-election must be delegated to their lieutenants in their home districts. While there is nothing unusual in the use of the Congressional Record as a propaganda device by sitting lawmakers, the trend of the comment appearing in this official publication indicates that many of the incumbents are in desperate straits. A typical campaign document appeared this week in the Congressional Record under "Extension of Remarks" or undelivered speeches. Representative John Griffith, of Louisiana, apparently irritated by his rivals in the Congressional district he now represents printed a rebuttal in which he supplied the caption "My own record as compared with my predecessor". He then proceeded to recite his devotion to his official duties, such as answering roll calls and voting. He frankly denied that he had "sold the sugar interests down the river". Sugar is an important product of Louisiana. STRIP-CROPPING AIDS IN FIGHTING EROSION Strip-cropping, virtually unknown in North Carolina until within the past decade, has now become a common sight in areas subject to soil erosion, according to W. D. Lee, soil conservationist of the State College Extension Service. He explained that the Soil Conservation Service has developed two types of strip cropping, one known as annual and the other as perennial. Each of these types plays a definite role in a sound conservation program. In this section, kudzu and lespedeza sericea generally are grown in perennial strips. Hay produced in these strips enables farmers to turn under for soil improvement a larger proportion of the vegetation grown in annual strips instead of harvesting these annual crops for hay. The new Navy patrol bomber, the Consolidated XPB2Y-1, recently made a nonstop, roundtrip trans-continental flight. Hie plane has four engines of 1050 horsepower each. THE STATE PORT Poe Indorsed For Post In Cabinet ! North Carolina Agricultural Leader Mentioned Prominently For Position Aj Secretary Of Agriculture RALEIGH,?Three North Caro ! lina farm leaders Friday indors ! ed Dr. Clarence Poe of Raleigl j for appointment as secretary ol agriculture, to succeed Henry A Wallace, Democratic vice presi dential nominee, but Dr. Po< himself declined to comment. W. Kerr Scott, commissioner ol agriculture, sent a telegram t< President Roosevelt in which h< said: "The South has been callec economic problem No. 1, and il is well to consider a man wh( knows the problems of the Soutl in seeking a solution to the agri culture ills of southern farming" The movement apparently wa: started by Harry B. Caldwell o! Greensboro, master of the Nortt Carolina Grange, who wired Mr Roosevelt that "The farmers 01 North Carolina and the South wil heartily appreciate the appoint ment of Dr. Poe as secretary ol agriculture, not only because hi understands their problems, bu' because his life has been devotee to the best interest of agriculturi both in his home state anc throughout the nation." Dr. I. O. Schaub, dean of agri culture at N. C. State college was out of the city, but F. H Jeter, agricultural editor at thi college, said the school of agri culture "will heartily support th< movement to have Dr. Clarenci Poe appointed secretary of agri culture." Dr. Poe is the editor of Thi Progressive Farmer and head o; the agricultural committe of thi Southern Governors' conference. AMPLE CARE URGED FOR. PULLET FLOCK I Poultrymen caring ror msu j pullet flock during the later sumI mer and fall should keep in mine 'that a little neglect now may b< 'costly later, says C. F. Parrish poultryman of the State College Extension Service. The good poultryman will see that his birds are well fed or growing mash, whole corn, whole oats, and green feed. Here's whj these items are so important ir the pullet's diet: The growing mash helps tc build a good egg factory. Corr puts weight on the bird and lays on a reserve of fat for the heavj laying period. Oats furnish fiber and help built resistance againsl disease, feather-picking, and pro. lapses. Green feed furnishes sue culence, minerals and vitamins and is rich in other essentia] food factors.

Happily the Marine Corps if able to fulfill that desire very satisfactorily. The entire Corpi is trained with a view to quiet mobilization or the rapid shifting of units here ana there. Officers and men change loca tions constantly. The main train' ing stations at Parris Island, So Carolina, and San Diego, Calif, have virtually an entire "tun over" every few months with mer leaving for sea duty, for foreigr service, or for one of the widely scattered posts where Marine! are serving.
