AGRICULTURE WORK AT BETHEL SCHOOL FOR YEAR PLANNED Teacher There Tells About Plans for All-Day Boys Who Plan to Take Agri culture Course. The teacher of vocational agricul ture for the Bethel High School dis cusses as follows the work in the school: “For the past two weeks the teach er of agriculture of Bethel High School has made a careful survey of farming conditions of the community, finding that it will be best to give Farm Crops and Soils to the All-Day Boys. According to the State Schedule farm crop* and soils are of fered the first year, second year Ani mal Husbandry, third year Horticul ture and fourth year Farm Manage ment. Where we have a farm shop one double period of ninety minutes is of fered for shop work per week. It is hoped at the present that a shop will be included next year. The All-Day Agricultural Pupils mean those that are regular carriers of high school work. This article doesn’t give any information on the evening class work (night class of the adult farmers), the part time class and the day unit class. “Farm Crops will give most em phasis to the crops of importance in the community and those that should be encouraged more in the farm rota tion, in our text, published by Ham mond and Smith, Atlanta, Ga., and authored by experts in five of our leading colleges of the South. So you see this book is for southern condi tions and is dedicated to the ‘Farmer of Tomorrow.’ To supplement this farm crop text, bulletins, both State and Federal, will be used. “The enterprises that come under farm crops are cotton, corn, sweet potatoes, peanuts, rice, sugar cane, tobacco, oats, wheat, soybeans, cow peas, alfalfa, soil improving v.ops and many others. The enterprise* will be broken up into jobs. For example, the jobs that come under corn; Selecting proper field, preparation of seed bed, care of seed, fertilizers and fertilizering, cultivating, preventing diseases, prevent pest, spraying, har vesting, selecting seed, storing crop, marketing, keeping records and other jobs. Each enterprise will be broken up into jobs like this. The jobs will be analyzed so that when pupil has compleated a job he will know aud be responsible for it when needed. “In soils we make as near as pos sible a thorough study of the soil as related to the community and the best way to improve these soils for the crop© that are to be produced econom ically, and at the same time build up the soil. Some of the things given in the soils course will be: soil materials and its origin, soils and subsoils, mineral constitutes, organic consti tutes of soils, maintaning and increas ing the organic matter, content of the soil, water of soils, control of mois ture, alkali lands, temperature, soil air and ariation, tillage, soil erosion, rotation, soil fertility and other im portant things related to soils. “The All-Day Boys will be re quired to carry out some practice work on the farm. It is the aim of the agricultural department to see that practice work in some enterprise is carried for four years as one of the projects. The following scope for All- Day Boys projects in the enterprises listed below is recommended as the minimum average per pupil: Corn —l acres, Cotton —3 acres, Tobacco—2 acres, Irish Potatoes—2 acres, Sweet Potatoes —2 acres, Soybeans—l acres, Peanuts—3 acres, Strawberries —1 acre, Breeding hog—l. 3 h. Feeding hogs—lo h. t Poultry (hens) 100, Poultry (chicks) —300, etc. Each pupil will carry two or more different projects. SCHOOL FACTS ARE HEARD BY ROTARY MEMBERS OF CITY S. Glenn Hawfield and J. M.

THE CONCORD TIMES CONCORD WEAVERS TURN BACK REBELS , WEDNESDAY, STO 3 Lindy Lewellyn’s Revamped i Club Grabs Fourth Suc cessive Game of Season From Hickory. Hickory, Aug. 24. —Bob (Lefty) Morris, settling down after a terrible first inning, pitched Concord to a 5 to 3 victory over the Rebels here this afternoon. The Weaver southpaw went ’into the box with his pitching arm cold in the first frame, and before he reached the right form the locals man aged to score three runs through four hits. But Morris pitched majestical ly after the first, allowing only one more hit, and only one Rebel hit the ball out of the infield. The Concord club, minus three reg ular infielders, played a great game with its aubstitutee. Marvin Watts played second, Outen caught, and Manager I/ndy Lou held down third with Chic Miller at first. H. A. All red, Concord insurance man, played in rightfield for the Weavers. The performance of the Concord infield was virtually perfect, and the outfield had little to do, only two fly balls being hit during the game. - Hie Box Score.

Contract for the erection of a big addition to the bleachery of the*Can uon Manufacturing Co., at Kannapo lis was let Tuesday afternoon to W. O. Pratt, of Mt. Holly. Mill officials announce the contract price as ap proximately $225,000 with between SBOO and S9OO for extras. Bids from six contractors were re ceived and it is understood that of Mr. Pratt .was the lowest. He is now erecting an addition to the mill’s filter plant. Rearrangement of machinery is contemplated by mill officials, it is understood. Part of the machinery, in the present bleachery will be moved to the addition and new machinery in stalled in each wing. Just the type and quantity of machinery to be purchas ed has not been decided upon, it is said. Due to the character of the ma chinery to be used it is believed the addition will give employment to only about 100 workers. The addition will be connected with the present plant, a street having been closed an<J sevljral houses removed to make way fdl the new structure. The street was moved back several hundred yards and will run parallel with the completed bleachery. The addition will be one story in heighth with elevated partitions for part of the machinery. It will be built especially for bleachery equipment 'along modern specifications. The recent completion of Mill No. 7, one of the largest and most modern in the mill plant, makes the addition to the bleachery necessary, it is .said by officials. Additions to the filter plant, now underway, represent an expenditure of approximately $25,000. This addition is being built between the old filter plant and the Y. M. C. A. building. Work on the bleachery addition will start soon. DISTRICT MEETING OF WOOLWORTH MEN HERE SEPTEMBER 6TH Managers of the Wool worth Stores in Burlington Dis trict to Gather Here for Annual Convention.
