MONK WILL ENTERTAIN AT I&NCHEU pro WORRY A NEW HEADACHE? IT HAS PLAGUED MANKIND SINCE TIME'S DIM DAWN! No product of the machine age is this word "worry," nor are men of the 20th Century unique with qualm knit brows amid a world boiling with plagued mankind, declares James Truslow Adams, noted historian, in a current Rotarian Magazine article, suggesting that we needn't worry because somehow man has made progress despite it. There is no yardstick to measure1 worry, Historian Adams admits, but discovers from "what I have read in i history, biography, memoirs, and let ters" that man today worries more than his ancestors and ancients. Why? We are softer, he says, sug : gesting that we no longer accept suf fering as the order of Nature, and that persons on relief today demand things unattainable to the rich a few generations ago. Other factors conducive to worry are an upset of balanced nervous system through nonuse of centers controlling . physical t emotion and ovenise of intellectual nerve cen ters, tearfulness, "because we are less self-reliant," unbalance in news papers and radios playing up the ?J horror angle," and "the change of emphasis on values and the lack of self-expression," Adams tells Rota rian readers. Junk Is A Scrappy Business, And One With A New Future Do you despise junk? Well, don't, advises McDonald White in the Ro tarian Magazine. "It is a big busi ness?and, with wars on, a booming one," he says. "In the United States, fOr example, it is in the billion-dol lar class and still growing. In dustrial miracles that shame Alad j din's lamp are recreating from the iunk pile useful things in an amaz ing variety. In fact, almost every thing one buys nowadays is partly made from waste materials. "War always ljooms the junk busi , ness. During the 1914-18 affair, scrap iron leaped from $4 to $42 a ton. History seems about to repeat itself, for already the price is climb ing. If it continues, high steel' prices may slow down construction work and production of both capital and con s sumer goods for years to come. Or i at least until guns, armaments, bayo , nets, and 'duds' can be converted intc " plowshares. As mines are exhanst . ed, as wars irretrievably waste Na ture's largess, as man by political ac s tion cots off his fellowmaa fron f sources of much-needed supply, th< l junk business will continue to grow - It's a business with a future!" - BUILDING AND LOAN TEACHES THRIF1 ? v . v Teaching the lesson of thrift ant i protecting citizens against loss ii the Farmville Building e Association, an institution which luu - been held in high. regard in tb f community since its organization h a 1914.

STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS QUESTION: When should I ap ply ground agricultural limestone to my land? ANSWER: The best time to apply lime is from three months to one year before seeding legumes. If lime is spread on this far ahead, it will have sufficient time to contact acid in the soil particles and coun teract it. The application of lime to cultivated land should be made after plowing, and the material should be mixed with the topsoil. Little benefit may be expected if the limestone is- plowed under before be ing mixed properly with the. topsoil. On pastures it is necessary only to scatter the lime on top of the sod. However, better results will be se cured if it is worked in with a light harrowing. * < ' ? , QUESTION: When should cotton be picked? ANSWER: To avoid losses in ' i grade a"d staple, pick cotton prompt ly and frequently, but not while green or wot Store the seed cotton 1 in a dry place and stir it frequently ' to prevent heating.
