U. S. Coast Guard Exposition Opens In Manteo Friday Twenty Tons of Exhibits Will Be PI seed On Display During Week By BEN DIXON MacNEILX Manteo. July 30?More than two score Congressional Medals and the decorations of eight foreign coun tries awarded in generations past for heroism along the lonely Outer Banks will be seen in in U. S. Coast Guard Exposition here when it is formally opened Friday eveniAg by Admiral L- C. Covell at the begin ning of the week-long celebration of the 150th anniversary of the found ing of the oldest branch of the Fed eral service. Notable among the collection of decorations, which will be guarded throughout the week of the exposition, is the entire roster of six medals awarded by the Congress to the crew of Chicamacomico Station which rescued the tanker Mirlo in August. 1918. after it had been tor pedoed by a German U-boat. With these will be seen the silver service and the personal letter of thanks sent by George V, on behalf of the British government. Twenty tons of exhibits, much of it from the over-sized exhibit assembl ed at the direction of Admiral Cov ell and Admiral Waesche to be shown at the Golden Gate Exposi tion. have been brought here and set up in the huge school gymnasium which was rushed to completion to house the Coast Guard's showing of its strength and the diversity of its service. The exposition is under the direction of R. C. Smith, repre senting Admiral Waesche. Outside the building will be as sembled various types of Coast Guard craft, beach apparatus, and models of lighthouses, which serv ice was taken over by the Coast Guard last year. The exposition will be manned throughout the week by surfmen from the Outer Banks, many of wham are owners of the hen> ? medals that will be shown These men will be guide* and hosts during the week in which the service will observe its sesqui-centennial. Notable among the hundreds of items among the exhibits will be a series of twice-life-sued enlarge ments of photographs, among them the last photograph ever made of the late Capt. John Allen Midgett. and another of the famous Capt. Pat Etheridge, whose crusty observahon that "the regulations don't say a damned word about coming back," has become exiomatic in the serv ice. His son, Capt. Walter Etheridge. is a member of the arrangements committee. Brief formal exercises will be staged Friday evening at 7 o'clock at the opening of the exposition and of the 190th anniversary celebra tion. Admiral Covell will preside and will speak briefly. The celebration continues into the following week, with Saturday night bringing one of its most spectacular features when boat crews will stage a capsize race and breeches buoy rescues under the light of parachute flares. This spectacle will follow immediately upon conclusion of the night's pres entation of Hie Lost Colony and may be witnessed from seats in the theatre. Finher -And Stout Plan To Produce Lou^Price Plane Detroit?Fred J. Fisher, one of the founders of the Fisher Body Corporation, and William B. Stout, pioneer Detroit aeronautical engin eer, have joined forces, it was learn ed, in an effort to get an all-metal low price plane into mass produc tion. The arrangement was confirmed jointly by Mr Fisher and Mr. Stout. The new plane, which will be in the experimental stages for at least six months, will be a high-wing mon oplane, with engine mounted in the rear and driving a push propeller. It will seat two persons side-by-side in a tear-shaped body forward of the wing, cruise at 11 miles an hour, and land at 39, Mr Stout asserted.

State College special ists recommend the following good farming practices: John Arey. extension dairyman, points out that much of the hay pro duced in North Carolina is of low quality because of coarseness, late cutting and improper curing. This kind of hay has a much lower pro tein and vitamin content than No. 1 or good quality hay. Because good hay is important in the cow's diet, Arey recommends first that the far mer use a liberal quantity of seed. Next, he should cut the hay early. Alfalfa should be cut when one-tenth to one-fourth in bloom, soybeans when the seed are about half-devel oped. lespedeza when around 50 per cent in bloom, cowpeas when first pods begin to yellow, and wheat, oats and barley when the seed are in the milk stage of maturity. Then cure as rapidly as possible, since ov ercuring causes the leaves to fall off add the green color to leach out. Here's a hot weather suggestion from Ellis Vestal, extension swine specialist. He says that hogs should have access to cool, shady places where they will be protected from the hot August sun. If natural shade is not available, an artificial shade can be made with boards, brush or straw. Also a constant supply of fresh water is essential. Likewise, a good mineral mixture should be available to every hog in the herd. Enos Blair, extension agronomist, says vetch, Austrian winter peas, and cleaned crimson clover seed may be sown during the latter half of August in growing crops such as corn and tobacco If crimson clover seed in the hull are used, they should be sown by August IS at the rate of JO pounds to the acre. Vetch should be sown at the rate of twenty pounds to the acre, Austrian winter peas 30 pounds, and cleaned crim son clover 25 pounds Dr l.uther Shaw, plant pathologist sends along these suggestions: Select cantaloupe .watermelon, bean and other seed from healthy plants for use next year and store them in a dry and well-airad place: spread on ions on wire or latticed boards well above the floor in a dry and well-air ed place to prevent nit; give air to tobacco in storage when necessary to prevent moldy conditions; pick cowpeus when mature to prrvent blackening and decay that usually follow periods of wet weather; and keep all weeds from areas where Granville wilt occurs. R. L. Lovvorn, experiment station agronomist, says a 2 per cent solu tion by weight of copper nitrate, ap plied at the rate of 200 gallons of water per acre, is one of the best chemicals known for the control of dandelions in the lawn or pasture. The spraying should be done on a clear day, preferably in the morn ing. Two applications should be made during the summer, the last about August 15. For small ureas, 1 1-2 pounds of copper nitrate dissolv ed in 7 1-2 gallons of water will make enough spray for 1,000 square feet. Road Facilities Are Adequate To Meet War Needs More Than Hulf Million Miles Of Improved RotuU in United State* Should America's road lead to eventual war, the way is hard-sur faced, according to Coleman W Rob erta. president of the Carolina Motor Club, who said today that U S. lugh ways not only are destined to play a large part in defense preparations, but will prove invaluable in the event of actual combat. I rtrwrihing the nation's mil" f network of Improved-type highways as the largest and finest in the world, Mr. Roberts pointed out that today's highly mechanized armies have in creased the importance of highway systems as an integral part of nation al defense 'During the first world war, Am erica's highway system failed dis mally to play its part," he declared "Following an unusually severe win ter, the black-top roads of the time crumbled under the stress of unus ual demands "In the past decade, however, state highway mileage has doubled and today the nation has a road system designed for peacetime needs which will serve well in any emergency. "Ever since the last war, civil and military authorities, together with AAA clubs, have cooperated in adapting highways to military re quirements, gearing military ma chines to the realities of the high way system. Thus u high degree of coordination has been achieved that will make possible the handling of wartime traffic with promptness and dispatch." Completion of the Blue Ridge parkway connecting the Great Smoky and Shenandoah national parks will greatly facilitate possible movement of troops and supplies through the mountainous sections of North Carolina and Virginia, Mr. Roberts declared. The road, design ed as a "luxury boulevard" for tour ists traveling the scenic trail, fol lows the crest of peaks in the Blue Ridge chain and hence is relatively free of steep grades or winding curves, Another important project in case war reaches our shores is the propos ed Pan-American highway reaching from South American to Alaska, the Carolina Motor Club official indicat ed. Scheduled for completion in 1M2, the road could easily be converted into a vital link for military trans port. "All of us hope, of course, that our country's splendid highway net work will continue to be 'America's road to peace,'" Mr. Roberts added. "But it is comforting to know that, should the occasion arise, our Toad to war' will be adequate." Cation The cotton acreage in cultivation in the United States as of July 1 to taled 29,077,000, according to the preliminary estimate issued by the U. S. Agricultural Marketing Serv ice. Cause Of Deaths In Month Of June ???-? (ianwr Deulli* Increase While, Oilier* Drcreiihe During Tlie Period * Raleigh, July 30. - - Cuncer took more lives in North Carolina during June than did any other disease list, ed in the monthly report recently made public by the State Health De partment's Bureau of Vital Statis tics. It caused 20fl'deaths, which was an increase of nine over the toll for June of last year, although the total nurnher ot deaths from all causes dropped from 2.799 in June of lust year pi 2,664 last June. "This is an ugly picture," observ ed Mrs. D. S. Coltrane. of Kaleigh, commander of the North Carolina Division of the Women's Field Army Against Cancer. "It means," she isiintid out. "thai iicinly eight per rent of all deaths in the state last month were caused by this one disease. It means that cancer deaths are increasing in spite of an impor tant drop in the total death rate for our state. "When we stop to think that the medical profession tells us that from one-third to one-half of all cancer deaths could be prevetned if indi viduals would acquaint themselves with certain simple danger signals which may mean cancer and seek medical help whenever one of the signals appears, the full significance of the figures in the.health depart ment's report can be appreciated. Teaching people the signals and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment is an important part of the work of the Women's Field Army. .The danger signals, usually pain less. are any persistent lump or thickening, particularly in the breast; any irregular bleeding or discharge from any body opening; a sore which does not heal, particularly about the tongue, mouth, or lips; persistent and unexplained indigestion; sudden change in the form or rate of growth of a mole or wart." a | V.tuh Farm Income In June Is Above 1939 'Washington?The Agriculture De-| partment reported cash farm income from marketing and government payments in June totaled $587,000, 000 as against $583,000,000 in June, 1939, and $620,000,000 in May of this year. The decline in income from farm marketing from May to June, the department said, was attributable partly to the lateness of the season which reduced sales of early wheat, apples and peaches, and partly to the reduction in prices of livestock and livestock products. *9 Campaign The Cotton Textile Institute will undertake immediately a nation wide campaign to increase Ameri can cotton consumption by 28 per cent over its record peak. Store Millions Of Bushels Of Wheat In This Country Surplu* May Reach Total ofi Around 600,000,000 Bushel* Millions of bushels of unsold new wheat are piling up in the nation's | elevators and warehouses?the re sult of government measures design ed to prevent a severe price decline | during the harvest period.

The wheat price at present is aev-1 ? ?.-,.1 nniitw Imi'nr th in the price the government will pay in the forni of 1 a loan, but is about 13 cents high-| er than a year ago. How much wheat eventually will! be put up as collateral for govern- j ment loans will depend on the course of prices. Re-establishment | of more normal international trade, now throttled by war. would have I an important bearing <>h the price | trend. The storage program is an impor tant phase of the government's ever normal granary system Thousands | of farmers recall their profitable ex perience of last season when they | borrowed government funds on more than 160,000,000 bushels at an aver ago of 70 cents a bushel and sold at | prices ranging in some cases to more than 20 cents above loan rates, due to the war and crop scare boom. Trade estimates of the amount ?>f | wheat placed in storage since har vest began ranged up to 90 per cent in some localities. With harvest un- | completed, the problem of storage space looms ever larger, particular-1 ly in localities where the glut is | large. Grain men said that many eleva-1 tors which formerly did a brisk mer chandising business during the mar keting period now devote facilities almost entirely to storage Nearly 115.000,000 busels were in store at principal terminals at mid-month but this with other grains occupied only 37 per cent of commercial ca pacity. Requests have been made for the | use of freight cars as storage room. The Association of American Rail-1 roads said normal grain storage fa cilities. particularly south and west of Omaha and Kansas City, are be ing exhausted rapidly hut warned against use of serviceable cars for storage. The small amount of grain being) sold on the open market neverthe less ha& ket>l prices uhdor pleasure. Since the heavy movement of new wheat to market got underway in mid-June prices have declined about 7 cents. New Potato Variety Gets Wide Acclaim The Sequoio Irish potato, one of N. C. State College's latest contribu tions to the field of horticulture, is receiving abundant praise in many sections of the United States where it has been tried on an experiment-1 al basis. 1 M E. Gardner, head of the rob co-developer of the potato with Rob ert Schmidt, said research men in a | large number of states as well in Canada, Mexico and Cuba have reported excellent results with the Sequoia. A late potato, the new variety has | outyiolded established varieties cun sistently during a five-year test per iod in this State. During the prist I half-decade, the Sequoia averaged | 347.5 bushels to the acre In the same test, Cobbler yielded 224 bushels, | Katahdin 218 and Chippewa 263. Gardner explained its high yield ing ability is attributed largely to its marked resistance to leaf hop pers, flea beetles and blight, all dead ly enemies of the crop ft has been estimated that leaf tw.pp r ah.no r??. duce yields in Western North Car olina each year from one-third to | one-half. Approximately foui acres Of Se quoia wore grown in 1H30 In an isn lated seed plot. From this, between 80 and 100 seed samples were dis tributed to cooperators and growers in the United States, Canada, Mexi co and Cuba. Practically all reports which have come in on the performance of the Sequoia have painted glowing pic tures of its possibilities.
