Large Crowd Watches Martins "Go To Town House Of David Is Massacred By The Martins, 54 To 28 Martin* Show More fcfcColor* Thra the "Matt Color* ?ful Davids" s? Before the largest crowd ^ver to witness a basketball game here, the Williamston Martins completely and thoroughly out-maneuvered and completely massacred the House of David quint by the score of 54 to 28 here Wednesday night. The Davids never held the lead and never push ed the local team. The entire Martin squad played an exceptionally fine game, both in passing and shooting, with Jeff Grant taking the leading role in scoring 14 points. Jeff, no doubt, turned in his best performance of the season as time after time he would go in on the rebound and toss the ball nonchalantly through the hoop. Then, in quick order, he W?Ulf1 Hr"P '""g P".l .. Am derson was close behind Grant, with twelve points to his credit, a large number of his shots coming from deep territory, while Beaird and Wallace followed with 10 points each, both of whom counted a num ber of nifty shots. The mainstay in the locals' de fense was one "Big Leaguer" Beaird, who repeatedly stole the ball away from the accurate passing House of David team, his guarding earning him extra mention. An outstanding incident of this contest was the return of Pap Diem to action. Pap had a kidney removed . not expected to return, but there he was. and the fans gave him a great hand For the House of David, bald head ed, wcH-bearded and ancient--BtH Jjleinecke was by far the best i?4ay er on the-club He bagged six field Wintiah!

At various stages of the contest, i an unusual amount of roughing was, observed, but as a whole, Referees! Rose and Wade carried on in their usual style.

Indians Solve Their Problems Of Peace New York The Zuni Indians of New Mexico, numbering about 2. 000. live in a society in which each man helps his neighbor* wealth is shared and no forms of aggression, tlli'li \A ^1- M>.. ;IM.t p>?r?ii mil attack~occur. according to I)r. Huth R. Bunzel. of the Department of An thropology of Columbia University, in a report of a recent study of the Indians. An agrarian culture without un employment, social life w ithout evi dence of class struggle and no police force or jail are accomplishments chalked up by Zunis. Dr. Bunzel found An-?Indian accumulating more Wealth than his neighbor dis tributes his surplus through feasts and ceremonies, she. added. "Drinking, brawling, and .indeed, nearly every form of open conflict an jeldom found in t Bunzel, who at intervals during the past 14 years has lived with the Zunis, said. "There has never been a murder committed within the memory of any of the Indians ques tioned. About live only form of fighi ing that exists is trie back fence' squabbles of women. On the other hand, extremely sensitivity to criti cism from any source produces a general suspiciousness of all out siders. "There is little chance for one member of the tribe to accumulate wealth at the expense of others be cause of well-developed institutions fur sharing any-surplus. Neither do the Indians hesitate to distribute any excess goods or food. They are more than anxious to receive the intangi ble advantages-of prestige, security and religious blessings which accom pany the act. Consequently the Zu lus live in a culture offering a ba sis of security that is lacking in the more competitive civilizations. lUfill SCORER An unoficial report on the leading independent basketball team, shows the following: "Big Leaguer" Beuird is leading at present, while Jeff Grant, Oscar An derson and Fenncr Wallace are ?grouped very close behind -_J | \U DKYKLOI'MKNTS || As far as it could be learned here today, baseball in the Wil liamston park continues to hang by a thread.

William*, head of the State College Agronomy Depart ment and chairman of the Tobacco Hr-srarrh Committee of the flue-cur-* Til "State's. "Since fctUliieia are?ap? plied to plant bed* in relatively large quantities, even a small per centage of chlorine in the fertiliz ers may cause plant bed injury," he In his warning. Prof. Williams said There is a strong tendency on the part of some producers of tobacco plant bed fertilizers to use muriate of potash m part or in whole as the of potash in the mixture*. If UTTs is done, the fertilizer will adef the equivalent of 240 to 300 pounds of chlorine per acre to the plant bed soil, and is very likely to cause ser ious damage. "The Tobbaco Research CQinmit tee. after considering the matters from all angles, has decided agains? the use of a potash salt, such as mu riate of potash, for compunding plant bed fertilizers. All of the potash in such mixtures should be derived from sources such as sulphate." The recommended plant bed mix ture is u fertilizer containing 4 per Li lit nnmgni. 1) per cent phuophOPie acid, and 3 per cent potash, or a 4-8-3 fertilizer. This shouid be applied at the rate of 2 pounds per square yard or on the basis of 8.000 to 10,000 pounds per acre, the committee ad vises. lihnl Fewer hogs are being fed to ma turity this year than usual in Bladen County, since farmers are killing and salting thejr pork at home be cause of the currently low market prku'H for hugn. ? : Increased Income The cash income to farmers from marketing and government pay ments during last November totaled about $740,000,000 compared?with? $707,000,000 in November. 1938. and $716.000,000 in November. 1937.
