" Harold Ickea, Secretary 'of the Interior, has been subjected to numerous attacks by advocates of municipal power plants' because he evidently cannot be the logic of building such plants In towns already efficiently and economically served by private systems. ' ; That attitude on the part of the tflcial.who, has charge of the vast PWA fund should be praised, not ftttacked. If the more fanatical advocates of municipal power had their way. every town in try. large or sina! growing or backsliding, would be blven a public lyiwned efectrta pWt. Wgartle- of X need for ft.

The U- s- Department of Agricul ture and the Norm waroima piaie Department of Agriculture 'i ootn recommend it as the best variety for North Carolina except possibly In a small region about Chadbourn. Although the variety nas proven a ttinraaaful arenerallv. it has fail ed In the hands Of certain growers and It believed tnat wis may oe due to a lack of understanding of the variety and Its difference from other varieties previously, grown rather than to local soli or climatic rtifforenem. When the variety was Introduced Iti was stated that it was very vigorous, maae pianu freelv. and that care should be ta ken to avoid having too many plants crowded together in the row. Tne Coastal Plain Station at Wil lard mailed with each lot of plants sent out a circular stating that the variety responded excellently to the hill system of culture In con trast to the matted row system. Nevertheless, because the matted row system has been so generally practiced In eastern North Caro lina -the growers have not- always heeded this advice. As a result they have had small plants crowd ed together competing fpr susten nM. and vleldlnsr accordingly a small crop of undersized berries which tend to be-soft and to de cay under the dense foliage.
