Special guests were Mra. Lindsay, Mrs. J. Branch Bobbitt and Mrs. W. Alexan der Allen, Jr. BROWNIE GOES WEST! A little boy's heart is sad! He goes about his small tasks half heartedly; laughter and his gay whistling call have left his lips; the light of happiness in his eyes has been overshadowed by a lonely cast, which is pathetic to his family; bones, scraps and a choice morsel of meat are still collected after each meal, through force of habit; a strained listening for the patter of tiny paws on the veranda and at his bedroom window is observed; his wagon, ohce drawn so proudly through the streets, is forsaken, and the ball, thrown for retrieving, has to be chased by him self now; the once favored game of hide-and-seek is avoided, and a nar row trail, which leads to a certain cleared and shady spot in the cool depths of a nearby wooded glen Is fast becoming a beaten path. A little dog is dead! (Brownie, pal of Wallace Barrett *. was killed by a hit-and-run driver Sunday, May 30, 1937.) LITERARY CLUB The Literary Club met Wednesday afternoon with Mrs. Minnie S. War ren as gracious hostess. The vice president, Mrs. John B. Joyner, pre sided and requested reports from Miss Annie Perkins, chairman of the program committee, and Mrs. W. M.

Shap pard, who used the discussion method in presenting their subjects, At the conclusion of the program the hostess served sandwiches, ham, beaten biscuit, iced tea and a variety of cookies. Soil-Building Crops Are On The Increase 9 North Carolina farmers who co operated in the soil conservation pro gram last year increased their acre age of soil-conserving crops by 550, 000 acres, according to E. Y. Lloyd, of State College. ? After tabulating figures compiled from the work sheets covering the cooperating farms, the State AAA office announced that 1,800,000 acres of conserving crops, mainly legumes, were seeded last year as a direct re sult of the program or in connection with it. An even larger acreage is being seeded this year as farmers take' ad vantage of the opportunity to buird up their soil, check erosion, and bal ance their farming operations while earning payments from the govern ment, Floyd stated. He also pointed out that last year some 555,000 acres of cotton land j were diverted into coserving crops; | 200,000 acres of tobacco land and 40, 000 acres of peanut land were also diverted. By diverting cash crop acreage and carrying out soil-building practices, North Carolina farmers earned $12,- j 103,903 in 1936, Similar rates of j oayment are offered again this year, Floyd added. In 1936, more than 127,000 work sheets were signed, covering 14,509, 000 acre of farm land. Of this acre age, 5,750,000 acres were considered ?rop land. With additional work sheets sign ed this year, it is expected that 150, 000 or more work sheets will be in force for the 1937 program, Floyd minted out The deadline for signing a work iheet is June 12. However, farmers who had work sheets last year will not need to sign again. Strip-Cropping Helps In SoU Conservation Farmers in the Huntersville area jf the Soil Conservation Service re )ort that they are finding it much easier to establish rotations where/ strip-cropping is practived, according to John C. Shiver, assistant soil con servationist. . Such crops as small grains, sor ghums, legumes, and greases are readily adaptable to the strip crop ping and fit in well in strip rotations with clean-cultivated crops. Strips ian be used to establish terrace lines, making is possible to build terraces at a more convenient time. Width of the stripe is dependent upon the slope of the land and re quirements of the individual fanner, Shiver said. On gentle slopes it is considered good practice to lay off the strips 20 to 80 feet wide and on steep slopes 40 to 50 feet wide. Stokes County farmers report one of the best small grain crops in his tory. With favorable weather until harvest they expect higher acre yields than in several years, ' .-??? ??? : A REPORT ON TIJBEBCtnLdSIS ; SEAL PU ' ? Mrs. Su B. Piw? Trsuaurcr ?? 'W Pitt County Tuberculosa Seal Sale Fund, baa just released a report through the Pitt County Health De partment of the expenditures from January 1st to June 1st. The Seal Sale Fund is used in an effort to control tuberculosis among patients whoare unable to provide proper control for themselves. A summary of the Treasurer's re port is as follows: White Col. Tptal Sputum cups , $1L75 Clothing $ 8.96 8.96 Pneumothorax $15.00 15.00 80.00 (This is an operation which coin presses the lung with air, giving the lung rest just like a splint or brace would give rest to a tuber culous hip.) Milk $45.15 $88.80 $83.95 X-Ray ? 88.00 81.00 114.00 Moving picture films 22.00 (on T. B. control used in the schools.) Miscellaneous 2.14 i This makes a grand total of $273.10 The Treasurer also reports that the total amount raised during the last Seal Sale was $1,002.15. The State Tuberculosis Association received 20 per cent of this or $200.43 and the National Association received 5 per cent or $50.11, leaving 75 per cent or $739.11 for local use. The total amount raised the pre vious year, 1935, was $80.40. This means that the sale for 1936 showed a gain of 25 per cent over 1935. The Health Officer declared that the Seal Sale Fund, which, of course, was contributed by the generous citi zens of Pitt County, was proving in valuable in the control of tuberculosis among the poor people of the County. Since the two terracing units were bought by Rowan farmers 165 farms have been partly or completely ter raced covering 4,062 acres with 874 miles of broad base terraces con structed.
