Above is a group picture of the Ozark Hill Billies, a traveling girls' bas ketball team, which will play the Williamston Martins in a two-game exhibition here on Monday and Tuesday nights, February 5 and 6.

Uncle Sam's cupboard is far from bare, as is shown by the 'box score" on the na tion's food resources for the current year, in terms of amount per person available. We have a billion bushels of wheat, which figures out to 231 pounds for every man, woman and child in the country ? ? poultry, about 19 pounds . . other meat, 131 pounds . . fresh vegetables. 95 pound? white potatoes, 135, and sweet pota toes, 26 pourgls . butter, almost 17 pounds . . fresh fruits, 148 pounds per person. The situation reflected in these graphic statistics probably accounts for the reluctance noted on the part of wholesalers in Chicago last week to place large advance or ders for canned goods There seems to be no grounds for fearing any runaway price rise, nor for heavy stockin^jp on food inventries.

Several teams have already effected contracts with various towns in this sec tion, and hundreds of baseball candidates will start moving In the latter part of March. Reading. Pa., and Pocomokr City, Md., will train in Eden ton. it was announced this week. At least three other clubs are now looking for training grounds in this section. The Richmond Colts will camp in Wilson. l.ocal hotel accommodations and field facilities make it im possible for an out-side club to train here. Start Breaking tip Old Team; Skipper Building New One P Onl\ Our (lliange in Olil Liur lip: NiiiiiImt of ConIruet* Are IVmliug Definitely deciding this week to play ball again, J. Eason Lilley. pres ident of the local baseball club, has started breaking up his old team line-up through his hard-working manager, Dixie Parker. The identity of the two players the management will retain is not known, Mr Lilley stating that he was placing the rec ords and all the dope in the hands of Dixie for him to make the final selections. In this connection, local fans are guessing, wildly to lie sure" that Harry Swain will be called to the colors of the Martins again. A movement is well advanced to trade Solly Myers to a Virginia club, and that eliminates him as a possi ble selection for one of the two posts open to the veterans of last year. The choice will be made from the fol lowing list: Howard Earp, Ace Ville pique, Pap Diem, George Rimmer, Dick Cherry. Villepique, ill for weeks with fever, is improving rapidly and is expected out shortly. George Rim mer, who is to enter the holy bonds of matrimony ere long, was heard io ivmark yesterday thai an old mar ried man can't play ball. But he, as well as the rest, is in the list from which two players will bo selectedi and he may be called to service again. But Mr. Parker will decide. Noted for his ability to pick prom-1 ising ball players, Parker is already at work, reports from the club pres ident stating that quite a few con tracts are pending, and that a num ber will be executed shortly. Machinery Leading Farm Safety Hazard Safety on the farm is largely home made, says Joe J3. Richardson, assis tant agricultural engineer of State | College. One of the reasons there are so many accidents on the farm is that farm families operate largely on their own responsibility. For city people at work or at home, there are numerous safety precautions, and someone to enforce them. Richardson lists machinery as a top hazard in farm work, despite tin- many improvements made on mac hinery in recent years. The old er hazards, such as unruly bulls and kicking horses, is next. Surveys show, however, that most accidents are caused by carelessness such as haste, the use of makeshift repairs, by taking chances, by using guards removed. Among the reasons why the farm | is a fertile field for accidents. Rich ardson says, are these: Much farm I work is done by individuals at some | distanrn from others so that an acci dent may be serious because help is not at hand. On the farm there are frequent changes in work and ma chinery used, which may mean un familiarity with equipment and less accuracy of movement. Under the pressure of summer work, there are often long hours in the field and chores done in a hurry after dark? both conducive to accidents. "The suffering, the loss of time, and the actual cash cost of these ac cidents," says Richardson, "shows the need for avoiding them. It has been shown time and time again that the well-ordered farm, with well-or dered activities, is good insurance against accidents. ''BuI s till, to a greal exlertt the far mer must be his own safety engineer | and almost entirely his own disci plinarian.*' U aatliar Conditions Favor Tar racing Unit 0/prration?\ Favorable weather conditions have enabled the Cabarrus County terracing unit to operate almost con tinuously since last March, reports Assistant Farm Agent W H Wil liams. ilandarBon County Far mar ?
