Intelli gent personal hygiene will do much to prevent a type of cancer that each year destroys more than 3,300 lives in America." the American Society for the Control of Cancer declares in a recent statement. Mrs. Joel Muse is head of the work in this county. "Because most women give their appearance sensible care," the socie ty says, "they suffer from cancer of the skin far less frequently than rin men. This type of the disease is the easiest of all to diagnose and to cure to X-rays, radium or surgery, yet each year it destroys 2,100 men and 1,200 women. It occurs in all parts of the country but it found most fre quently in the South. A recent sur vey reports that two out of every five cases of cancer in Atlanta are of the skin, while only one out of eifcht cases is on the skin in Chicago. "Cleanliness is the first rule to follow in protecting oneself against skin cancer, the second is to avoid chronic irritation or over-exposure to wind or sun. Knowing enough to come in out of the sutv is mere im portant than knowing enough to come in out of the rain for blondes with sensitive skins. A third rule is to go to a physician when sores do no heal within a few weeks or the rate of growth of a mole or wart changes. In certain instances black or blue-black moles should be re moved by a physician skilled in can cerjsurgery. "Quacks are particularly active in victimizing those who have or fear they have cancer of the skin. By whole-hearted cooperation of the public with physicians, mortality from thiB type of cancer should be sharply reduced. The akin is the larg est single organ of the body; it covers everything and deserves the careful attention of everyone."

C State College, "farmers are learning how electricity can be put to wbrk to lighten burdens and economically operate heating and refrigeration un , its on the farm." He named the operation of brood j ers for chicks, dairy equipment, and feed grinders, and the heating of plant beds as ways that farmers arc using their new-found source of power and heat. Electric broociers are becoming popular, and among those who have expressed themselves as thoroughly satisfied with this modern equipment are-J. A. Rowland, of Stanly County; John Workman, of Cleveland Coun ty, and Mrs. J. C Barber, of Rowan County. Mr. Rowland figured his cost at slightly more than one cent per chick despite the severe winter just past P. A. Irvin, a large retail milk pro ducer of Mecklenburg County, told Specialist Jones that his total elec tric bill for the many jobs performed in his dairy is not more than was his cost of rice alone before he installed eTeetr Teal equipmenI Ralph Scott, of Alamance County^ and Roy and Francis Siegman, of Ca tawba County, are enthused over their new feed grinding mills op erated by electric motors. Mr. Scott says: "I am convinced that the feed grinding problem on my farm is solv ed through use of this mill. I can grind nearly 00 bushels of ear corn an hour and use only five kilowatt hours of electricity7* Jones also, reports that Ira and using electricity to pump water for the irrigation of their truck crops and to heat plant beds to start let tuce, pepper and tomato plants. "A few farmers are also using electri cally-heated sweet potato plant bed?," Jones stated. Sports Are Ranked Big Business Class Sports long ago ceased to lx- mere ly a form of amusement; they have become Bit; Business. Biggest trend of the sports "industry" this summer writ be thr accelerated swing toward night contests, under the lights, mak ing it possible for still larger throngs and still more millions of dollars to be attracted. It is not generally known that unconscious teamwork of urchins and research scientists made it all possible. The idea was born in 1923. when GE engineers, in stalling floodlights for a celebration at Lynn, Mass., noticed that young difficulty playing a game of ball while the work was going on. It became practical when rrsrarrti scientists in laboratories in 1934 de veloped what they called the Alr.ak finish for aluminum reflectors, as suring bright lights and economical maintenance of pisrrt*. This summer 70 major league baseball games will be played at night in eight cities, while seven out ef every ten minor league contests will be "under the mazdas." Good Beet Produced Oil Southern Grass - It doesn't require Iowa com-to~p**? duce palatable and nutritious beef,, says Earl II. Hosletler, professor of animal husbandry at N. C. State College "Our Southern grass will do just as good a job, if weusegooH" sires in breeding our cattle.' lie de clares. "Recent research has shown that good beef can be produced from Southern pastures, roughages and cottonseed meal," the animal hus bandman says. "With the long grow ing season and greater stress on im proved pastures, the finishing of beef rattle will Drove a profitable nrac tiee in the Southern States. Added to profit from the sale of beef is the value of plant food restored to the pasture land without labor in handling manure." Prof. Hostetler says that ex per i ments by the North Carolina, and other experiment stations, faS-vc shown in certain cases that larger returns are possible from beef cat tle that are fed cottonseed cuke, or a mixture of cottonseed meal,and grain, in addition to pasture Also by Ibis: method the fjn.ilily nf heef is improved and more rapid gains are made, higher prices are secured, and less grain is used than for cattle that are fed to the same degree of finish in a dry lot "Cotton belt feeders have proved that cottonseed meal is not only an economical and efficient source of protein, hut, in addition, has a pro ductive or fattening value that h important in feeding on grass," the State Colli ge man declared.
