Fertilizer Men Are Urging Economies ? 1 Raleigh?Some paper bags will be used by the fertilizer industry this year "because of the shortage of bur lap" and use of higher analysis grades is being urged "in the inter est of national defense and econo my," D. S. Coltrane, assistant to the Commissioner of Agriculture, said today. North Carolina farmers use one seventh of the Nation's output of fertilizer. "While the fertilizer situation is not critical at this time, farmers may well acquaint themselves with war conditions that will necessarily ef fect many changes in grades, manu facture and shipment of plant food," Coltrane said, emphasizing that: 1. Paper bags and second-hand bur lap bags must be used wherever pos sible as a result of the government burlap rationing program. 2. An increase in freight rates has been proposed, therefore fertilizer orders should be placed as soon as possible. 3. Tire shortages and transporta tion "tie-ups" resulting from the in creaaed defense programs may delay shipments. 4. Nitrate of soda, an essential plant food, is being allocated by the government on a monthly basis and adequate deliveries are question able. 5. Empty burlap bags are valuable and should be saved by farmers for possible "refills" in the future. 6. Costs for low analysis fertiliz ers are higher per unit than the high er analysis grades, thus by buying recommended grades growers will save unnecessary expenditures for bagging, labor and freight. Hardships are ahead for the fer tilizer manufacturer, but they are cheerfully cooperating in the de fense program and are making ev ery effort to furnish growers the plant food necessary 'to win the win,' " Coltrane said. "They are pa triotic in their appeal to farmers to use high analysis grades of fertiliz er, to effect economy in bags, trans portation and labor." a Farmer Had No Idea Hit Expentet Were. So Large B.

JLofr Stanli/rtO' AZ fffccp ..6i\Tc titer mfo A Certain Tar Heel Served Seven Terms as Governor of North Carolina . . . Most Tar Heels can name the gov ernors since the World War; the one who campaign for "good roads," an other who sponsored a "live-at home" program, and the other chief executives of recent years. Howev er, few could do as well as the lad who won a man-on-the-street broad cast reward some time ago by promptly telling the interviewer the name of the governor who served four terms. "Benjamin Williams" was tho name that won the pint of ice cream. Williams served three terms (1799 1802), and he was chief executive for a fourth term, serving from Novem ber 24, 1807 to November 28, 1808. Before 183(5 elections were annual, and men were elected for one-year terms. Thus Benjamin Williams served only four years. The revised constitution provided biennial elec tions and a later change extended the term of office for governors to four years. Only one man has served more terms than Benjamin Williams as governor of the State of North Car olina. This man was the first to gain the honor when independence was declared. He served an additional trhee Revolutionary War terms, and at a later date regained the gover norship for three post-war terms. The "seventh-term" governor was a native of Lenoir County; and at one time his statue stood in the street in Kinston. Today, the statue is lo cated on the new Lenoir County Courthouse grounds. There is a county in the north-central section of the state which bears his name. Near Kinston there is a state school for the feebleminded named for him, Caswell Training School. In these and mnay other instances, the name "Caswell" has been passed on to us and will be handed on to unborn generations. All tributes paid Richard Caswell are richly deserved, for his service during colonial days and early state hood of North Carolina are truly worthy of our praise. Caswell was one of the command ing colonels who led the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge; and as a mem ber of the constitutional convention which met in Halifax, he was elect ed president of that group. When the constitution was adopt ed, Richard Caswell was chosen to be the first governor of the inde pendent state, North Carolina. Con cerning this early leader, the vener able Nathaniel Macon said, "He was certainly one of iho mosi powerful men that ever lived in this or any other country." Tar Heels should remember Cas well served seven terms as governor of North Carolina. t Hog Cholera Scare Turns Out To Be False Alarm A hog cholera scare in Halifax County turned out to be, upon ex amination, cases of food poisoning, caused by hogs eating decayed soy-1 beans and peanuts, reports Assist ant Farm Agent M E.
