Es pecially was he appreciative of the kind aupport of his friends who on i three occasions persuaded him to stay in the race despite his lnclina tion to withdraw. Mr. Gallop went to a meeting of the TVrrell County Young Democra tic club in Columbia to which three candidates had been invited May 14 with the ha tent ion of withdrawing and already had his statement and a hot ice to the secretary of the stale board of elecions but was persuad ed by his friends because of the ab sence from the meeting of one of the candidates to stay in the race "f votes in my own county of Hyde w ithin the last week of the campaign ' as a result of propaganda associating ' rrn with the various gubernatorial', candidates despite n:y pub; it?slate ments that 1 was neutral in flu oth- 1 . campaigns.

White Youths At least one group of State insti tutions in North Carolina has no waiting list for admissions. W. C. Ez.cll, director of institutions and corrections for the State welfare department, said this week irv an nouncing 100 to 125 vacancies for white boys and girls in the state training schools for white delin quenls. Tin- state official quoted Eastern Carolina Training School Superin tendent. S. E. Leonard, who was in Raleigh for a conference this week, to the effect that if a youth were actually in need of the services of | Inn imitilution in nlubilit.itnig him into a useful citizen, applications, for admission would be accepted at any time. "The same condition is true at all the white correctional institutions." E/ell said. "Many school, welfare and juven- | ile court officials have the idea that 1 all state institutions of eyery nature have lung waiting lists for admissions but this is not true in the case of white training schools. "The fact that 100 to 125 vacancies exist in these institutions indicate one of two things?either that the youth in the state are showing less delinquent tendencies than they were in years gone by. or else that re sponsible officials have not been sending in admission requests in the mistaken idea that capacities are ov erburdened. "Unfortunately no facilities are available for delinquent Negro girls and 11m.school for -delinquent Ncgiu bqys is too small and has too limited maintenance appropriation to meet the existing needs. "White schools have had vacancies for a long time," Ezell said. Hop (narks And Bndty j Hurls Merry Hill Farmer Mr. Henry Smith, farmer of the Merry Hill cummunity in Bertie!

Grow soybeans as e commercial crop, for soil improvement or as a crop. Prof C B. Williams, head <<f the State College Agronomy De partment, advises North Carolina farmers He urges commercial grow ers to increase yields per acre this year in view of the demand for this crop and its products due to the war situation in Europe and the Orient. Recommending the yellow seeded varieties, which are in greatest de-1 mand by oil millers, Prof. Williams said that Herman, Tokyo, Wood's Yellow and Haberlandt are adapted to the Coastal Plain; Herman, Wood's Yellow, Clemson and Haberlandt are best for the Piedmont; and Herman and Haberlandt are adapted to the Mountain area. "The land selected for soybeans | should be of at least average produc tivity," the agronomist declared. "It I should be well drained and in prop 1 cr shape for planting on or about l May 1. Although soybeans belong to libc legume family, they require j moderate amounts of a properly-se | lected fertilizer. "Ordinarily," Prof. Williams con ; tinued, "little or no nitrogen is need I ed in the fertilizer mixture if the I soil is in a fairly good state of pro ductivity. However, if the soil is ; poor to medium in fertility, about 2 per cent nitrogen should be includ ' ed in the mixtures " ? i The fertilizer recommendations of , the College Agronomy Department for soybeans are: Coastal Plain. 200 to 300 pounds of a 0-8-4 or a 0-8-6 on fairly productive soils, and 250 to 1 300 pounds of a 2-8-4 or 200 pounds of a 3-12 6 on poor to medium soil*; Piedmont and Mountains. 200 to 300 pounds of a 2-10-4 or 2-10-6 on fairly?productive?soils,?and?256?ttr 300 pounds of a 2-10-5 or 200 pounds of a 3-15-6 on poor to medium soils. ? State Joins Nation In Dairy Promotion North Carolina will join hands with other states in June to observe National Dairy Month, says John A Arey, extension dairyman of N. C Siaic College Twenty local committees have been | named to promote the consumption j of hulk in their respective sections. These committees will work with hotels, cafes, drug stores and lead ~TTTg food distributing agencies to bring milk and other dairy products to the public's attention. "North Carolina could well af ford to take an active part in National Dairy Month," Arey said, "since it ranks far down the list in the per "?\pita consumption of milk. At the present time, the average Tar Heel drinks only four-tenths of a pint of milk daily. Along with this is a cor respondingly low consumption of butter and cheese." Governor Clyde R. Hoey and a number of North Carolina mayors have already placed their full en dorsement on the purposes and aims of National Dairy Month. The 1939 farm value of dairy pro duction in this State, including those product consumed on the farm, was $32,000,000. Arey pointed out that if the consumption of milk were in creased from the present available supply oi 4u0 pounds, in which are included all dairy products, to 800 pounds, the national average, the present income from this source to North Carolina farmers would be doubled. The State College specialist said that nutritoinists recommend at least a pint ot milk il day for adulte and a quart daily for growing children. Milk is needed by the young to pro mote growth and to build resistance to disease. Adults need milk to re build worn-out tissue and to maintain a high resistance to disease. Spy Story /? Circulated W ithout Any Foundation Report* widely circulated here and throughout this section yesterday : claiming that a German spy had been ' arrested are apparently without rfoundation. It was declared thaf a I photographer with a goat had been arrested in Plymouth, that he was taking pictures of bridges, highways and industrial plants. 1 '$? 1 ?? Shotc Increased Intercut In Control Vf Erosion During the 1939-40 planting season. 11.085,000 forest tree seedlings Were planted on 875 acres of land subject to erosion in Buncombe, Madison and Yancey counties. Soil erosion is costing the farmers of the United States a minimum of $400,000,000 a year, according to Hugh H Bennett, chief of the Soil Conservation Service. County Gets Over $100,000 In Social Security Payments (Continued from page one) divisions, classed as "services." a proration indicates that about $19, 305 has been distributed in this county since the program started, di vided approximately as follows: Ma ternal and child health services, $3, 440; service for crippled children, $2, 890, child welfare services, $2,325; vocational rehabilitation, $1,475; and public health work, $9,175. Several factors enter into this pro ration, Mr. Powell explained. Martin County had a population of 23,400, or about 0.74 per cent of the popu lation of the entire State, 1930 cen sus. This part of the Social Security program has been in operation about four years, and the State has match ed Federal funds in almost every instance. These facts are considered in making the proration. Central UCC office records show that in 1939 Martin County had 37 resident employers subject to the law and 872 workers protected by it. Subject employers paid into the State fund $43,192.08 in the years of 1937 and 1938 and 1939, as compared with the $27,186.38 paid to unemployed workers in the county in the two years of 1938 and 1939. The records show that in 1938 and 1939 Martin unemployed workers filed 1,258 initial claims?the first I'laims filed after the worker becomes unemployed ? and 8,427 continued claims?the claims filed each week, after the initial claims. Employment service records indi cate that in 1937. 1938 and 1939, 2,551 registrations for work and 591 place ments on jobs were handled in Mar tin County. Employment and benefit payments business in Martin County is han dled by the employment service of fice in Williamston.

Periodic Examination Of Car Drivers' Eyes Urged Greater safety on the highways would result if the eyes of automo bile drivers were examined periodi ully. ueiuidiug tu the Better Vision Institute. Laws of many states now provide for periodic checks on brakes, lights ind other equipment on the car in !he interest of greater safety, all of which is discounted greatly in value if the driver does not see well, says the institi?iei which believes that the lumber of persons who would be Forced to give up driving would be negligible. Only a very small per centage of visual defects cannot be corrected by optical science, says the institute, adding that one of the im portant results of such checks would 'm to call attention of many drivers to unsuspected visual shortcomings.
