Remodeling Begins p p As Bad ^ inter Ends Wtih some evidence that this hard winter may be on the verge of break ing up. thoughts of home-owners and store-owners are turning to plans for spring spurce-ups. Many store-own ers now. though, are getting away j from need for such seasonal refur nishing by'using new biulding ma terials of a permanently decorative value in remodeling. A thousand grocers meeting in Chicago last ? weak heard how stuiefiviiu hioderai ration pays dividends in new busi ness. Results of a survey of 25 groc ery stores modernized with colorful structural glass showed average first year after remodeling, or from $547 to $2,032 Average annual sales increased from $21,050 to $28,628 The way the grocers at the Chicago convention reacted to this blueprint for attracting customers indicated likelihood of another wave in the growing nationwide trend to dress up" main streets with modern fronts a trend consistently marked by the use of new lightweight metals and colorful flat glass.

Taylor Electric Co. WIIJL1VMSTON, N. C. Council Throwing Full Support To Hull Agreements Memphis. TennMore than 5,000 committeemen of the National Cot ton Council in the 19 cotton produc ; ing states, under the leadership of Oscar Johnston, president of the or ! ganization. are joining in the fight for Secretary of State Cordell Hull's ; reciprocal trade agreements pro gram In a statement launching activity in behalf of the trade agreements program by local committees in 752 1 Counties. Mr. John*to" HeoUreH that | "continuance of the reciprocal trade agreements program is our greatest | immediate hope for solving cotton's all-important foTeign trade prob 1 lem." | The cotton belt, more than any sec , tkm of the United States, must have foreign trade. Mr. Johnston pointed out. "The economic life," he said, "of one-third of the farm population of the United States, embracing more than one-third of the total area of | the nation, depends upon the devel opment and maintenance of export markets for cotton and cottonseed products. "If foreign markets are to be de nied our cotton industry, it necessar- J lly follows that production must be placed on a purely domestic basis This would mean a further curtail merit of cotton acreage, a disastrous displacement of labor\and a serious disturbance of our national agricul tural economy. "Our normal planting of 40 mil lion acres already has been curtail ed to 24 million. The curtailment al ready has adversely affected the economy of the cotton belt and could not have been achieved with out the expenditure of hundreds of .millions of dollars from the treasury of the United States as soil conser vation payments, cotton adjustment payments, and cotton loans. "Notwithstanding these drastic measures, the carryover in America amounted to 13.032.513 bales on last Augur.! 1 We be lie vi tluil It1 the reciprocal trade agreements pro gram it is possible to develop and maintain export markets for our sur plus cotton and cottonseed products. "The abandonment of the recipro cal trade agreements- prog ram would in our judgment, be the equivalent of saying to the nations of the world that the United States is unwilling to negotiate with them further for the restoration of normal internation al trade. Such an act on our part will ?justifiably, we think?be construed by the other nations as a declaration of purpose by the United States to develop nationalism to the highest degree possible, and to withdraw be hind our excessively high tariff wall from the commerce of the world. Such action on our part would, in our judgnuuUr an open invitation to all the other nations of the world to do likewise. The effect would be a further disastrous de crease and paralysis of all trade BURT OATS I OK sau: <)0-1 ) \ A Large Stock Price Reasonable MARTIN Supply (loin puny W illiotntlon, yV. mODERDIZE Youi Bathroom Now!

Beinjf entirely electric, it is clean and fast; and this new model is surprisingly economical with current. It was developed by the wkera of the Frigidairc electric refrigerator.

Taylor, who selected the animals for the sale with the help of E. V. Vestal, assistant extension special ist, and Prof. E. H. Hostetler of the State College Animal Husbandry De partment, said: "We have selected from the best of our breeds young | sows of good type and have bred I them to what we believe are the best boars in the State, to farrow at the | best time in the year. We have se lected a few young boars of good | type that are ready for light ser | vice.

Fresh Eggs Demand Higher Market Price Don't offer a customer a "pig in a poke,"tsays T. T. Brown, extension poultryman of State College, in urg ing farmers to sell only fresh eggs which command a higher market price and keep consumers satisfied, lie advises that all eggs he candled before being marketed. In candling eggs, take out those which show a large air cell, a flat tened and nlainlv visihlo yollr hh.oH spots and a thin white, Brown said. A fresh egg has a small air cell, a rounded and dimly visible yolk and a thick white. The poultry specialist made eight suggestions for the production of quality eggs (1) Keep only pure bred poultry; (3) provide floored htrasr with clean litter; 137 enclose dropping boards or roosting racks with wire netting; (4) use high qual ity feed; (5) keep nests filled with clean nesting material; TUT gather eggs at least twice daily in wire bas kets so as to allow them to cool quickly; and leave in wire baskets over-night or spread on trays to cool; (7) store eggs in a cool, fairly moist place until marketed; and (8) sell or pen males at the end of the breeding season and sell Infertile eggs A six-point program for the sale of quality eggs is offered by the ex tension man as follows; til Grade for size and interior quality; (2) candle to remove stale eggs and ones with blood spots, and to separate according to interior quality; (3) weigh eggs of doubtful size and make at least two size grades; (4) clean dirty eggs; (9) use good cases with clean filters and flats, or pack eggs in attractive labeled cartons; and (9) market twice weekly. Formrrfarm Practices Teachings H. F. Sheann was assistant farm ancnt in Nash County for four years. Ho is now completing work for his master's degree at N. (' State Col lege. Recently he bought a badly run-down farm in Halifax County, m the Fishing Creek Soil Conserva tion District. Shearin preached pasture improve meat, cover crops, good rotations, and other conservation farming pi'acf flees 11111 1111? his iitvhv e. i?l.il in agent, So the first tiling he did af ter buying the Halifax County farm was to make application to the soil farm plan Shearin will operate the farm in conjunction with a beef cattle farm owned by hu father. But he wants to make hay and pasture 'available in advance of bringing in too many cattle another idea he has been teaching He found from the farm plan sur vey that 2') acres of the land former ly cultivated was too steep or severe ly eroded .foi row crops So he re duced the cultivated land from 85 4o 65 at* it ST-Ttrrd planted the steep and eroded 30 acres to kudzu, lis | ledcza sencea. trees. and perina *i Tei it past in Shearin will use a four year rota tion on the cultivated acreage, and will plant most of the 55 acres to an nual lespede/a this spring, using only a small acreage for row crops until 1042 Bottomland will he clear cd and treated over a period of years for pasture. The kudzu, lespede/a and othei hay crops will serve the dual purpose of protecting badly eroded areas and providing additional feed f<" beef cattle. The old pastures will he im proved, and new grazing land devel oped. I WORK FAST? eur ' , I LIKE SLO W-BURNING ? CAMELS.
