MAY IMPROVE VARIETIES OF HORTICULTURAL CROPS | RALEIGH, July 18.—With the idea of piomoting growth of mot*' fruit and vegetable crops in Norik Carolina, the Department of Hor ticulture at State College, undev its new leader, Dr. J. II. Beau mont, has launched a research program to improve the existing varieties of these crops. “For instance,” says Dr. Beau mcnt, “we believe that we can , breed blig'ht resistance and im proved quality into the kinds irish potatoes that we are grow - ing. For that reason we are grow ing 8,000 seedlings to test nex: year. We know also that the Lu cretia dewberry is firm and ship well though it is not so high i i quality. The Young dewberry U of extra high quality but does not stand shipping so well. We are now growing seedlings at the college to see if we cannot com bine all of these good qualities- ’ into one new variety.” Then, too, the horticulturist i says that a peach variety less ' susceptible to the deadly bacter* , iosis may be developed, that will letain the excellent qualities tf the best peaches now grown. A new strain of sweet potato is be- 1 mg developed by hill selection | This strain, known as North Caro lina No. 1, is being tested thi. I year l>y a number of 4-H club i hoys and adulr growers. Tlu- ' strain was developed from the / Polo Rico but is smoother, mor.i J uniform and grades higher. I l*r. Beaumont also looks to im- ) provement in lettuce varieties. His { department is now working on u variety of the Big Boston lettuce f that is resistant to tip-burn. I At the same time, the horti- I cuuurists are studying all ques tions of 3oil treatment, nutrition and other factors leading to thj most economical production of fruits and vegetables. Dr. Beau mont believes that his department can be cf great assistance to tlr? growers of the state and the en larged plan of work contemplates rendering such service.

On May 22, 1929 that dreadful enemy we call death entered t'n home of Mr. and Mrs. Sheparq Parrish and took from them thei1’ darling- son. Ray. He was stricken down about three weeks with that awful disease, typhoid fever. A! 1 was d°n<? for him that mother and father, kind friends and physi cians could do, but none comd stay the cold hands of death. II • bore his suffering without much complaint, but the good Lord only knew how much pain he bore Ray was a good boy. To know him was to love him. He was so good and so quiet one could hard ly tell he was about. He was born October 31, 1917 making his stay with us eleven years, six months and twenty-four His father and mother wish to thank each and every one thf»l lent them a helping hand during his illness and death—especially Dr. Stanley, Dr. Wilson and Dr. McLemore. They also wish t : thank Miss Westbrook, Miss Pierce and his school mates for the beautiful flowers. May Go.l bless each and every one that helped in any way. A dear one from them is gone, A voice they loved is still* A place is vacant in their home That never can be filled. Thou art gone but not forgotten, Never will thy memory fade; Sweetest thought will ever linger Round the grave where thou ai t laid. MRS. HUBERT COATES.
