Reports of troops landing in a new sector of the South China coast led to a belief to night in this British crown, colony that Japan had taken another step in the campaign to issolate her Chi- 1 nee foe completely from the Pacific. Reports of the new invasion?this time at Fiitsing, SO miles soQfth of ' the Ftakien provincial capital, Poo chow ? indicated that Hie Japanese were intent on controlling the few principal coastal cities still remaing in Chinese hands, such as Fooehow and Swatom.

C. Farmers Urged To Raise Work Stock I - ' Commercially-bred horses aftd mules cost more now than at any time since the world War, and their cost wiH probably continue to rise for the next-ten.'years, says Fred- If. Haig, professor of animal husbandry at State College. This is because the death losses of horses and mufe* each year in 'the United* States is more than one million head, and for the past five years the production of colts has been only 606,000 a year. In North Carolina the number of horses and-mules has decreased from 421,000 in 1925 to 870,000 at the Dresent time. This is a serious sit uation, but there is * solution to it, Haig says. Hie suggestion is this-. Estimating the eost of animals at (200 per head, our fanners must ipend $1,000,000 each, year to buy work stock replacements. This drain upon the agriculture of the state can be avoided by raising work stock on [>ur farms. ' Much land has been release*! from niltivation by reduction of acreage heretofore planted in cotton and to bacco. This Jand could be profltaHy utilized in the production of feed :rops for work animals. - It requires approximately four acre to. produce die necessary feed for a horse or -nule for one year. The production of one or two colts >n the farm is strictly, a non-cash " :ost, provided the animals are raised as a sideline to the general system >f farming. No farmer can affbrd to ceep mares in idleness solely for the production of horse or male colts. . ? _ 1 rhe mare must be required to. do her share of the work on the farm and in tddition, produce a colt each. year. SVorld Has Record Supply of CQtton ? . ? ? " Washington, Nor. 1. ? The Bureau ; >f Agricultural Economics estimated oday the 1938-39 world supply of ; commercial cotton would be about 51,t 100,000 bales, a new high for' the ! ;hird consecutive year. This is 1,500,000 bales tfcjrgerthan he 1987-38 supply and ^1^0,000 sales above the ten-year average. In its annual cotton outlook re- . sort, the bureau said the world sup sly of American cotton would be ibout 25,006,709 baler ?*? half the - vorld supply. Be porting a prospective decline in foreign supply is now 40 per cent ibdve the tSn-yesr average. The bureau predicted that if Amer- : can acreage next year is about - the 1 tame as in 1938, a crop approxlmate v 1 n snn fwn hAlea be axuected: ' [ ?

Germany and Italy, sitting as a court of arbitration in tie Czech-Hungarian frontier dis pute, tonight directed Czechoslovak^] to surrender 4,684 square miles of territory with an estimated popu^l tion of 860,600 to Hungary within eight The decision, reached here by Gor man Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop ancf Italian Foreign Min ister Count Galezzo Ciano, granted the Hungarians most of their claims. The Polish-Hungarian demand for a common, frontier, by means of the amputation of Czechoslovakia's east ern Ruthenia province, was rejected, however. Czechoslovakia also was al lowed to retain her important fron tier city of Bratislava in Slovakia. With the decision of the Rome-j Berlin'axis powers which the Czechs already have agreed to accept, Czechoslovakia has lost approximate ly one-third of her territory to three neighboring nations within the space of one, month, More than 12,000 square miles of the Sudetenland was loBt to Ger many and Poland acquired 720 square miles in Silesia. The serpentine strip of land along the. Hungarian border which Czecho slovakia now must cede comprises the bulk of Hungarian demands.

He says: Molt people have success moving < shrubs and trees during the dormant < season, preferably in November and < December. If the plant to be moved 1 is deciduous (drops its foliage in the i winter.) it is not necessary to remove a ball of earth with the plant. Care I should be taken, however, to remove 1 all the rbots possible with the plant and avoid bruising the roots as much 1 as possible. A ball of earth should < be moved with evergreens. A two j to aix?foot nStive: plant is usually ? the best size .to move. < The hole in whieh the plant is to be plased^shpuld, be dug considerably larger and' <teefcet than IS necessary < to take care of the longest roots. Use 1 only topsoil to flll this surplus spate. ? Place the plant in the hole the same deDth that It was eTowinar originally < and tamp the soil arouad its roots j until the hole is three-fdurths filled. < The repaainder of the soil * Bhould be fillet without JUtekfng. t Prune the plant enough to balance t against the loss of roots. This usual- t ly means cutting from one-third to r one^haif the top from the plant. Fer- s tilize at the titae^of transplanting or c earfy the next spring. t Immediately transplant deciduous j plants, or at least keep the roots moist until they are reset. Leave a t disk shape hole around the new po- , sition for the purpose of collecting water for the plant. .
