Jeter, editor, also announces that a list of other avail able agricultural publications at State College will be sent free upon re quest. E. Y. Floyd and L. T. Weeks, Ex tension tobacco specialists, revised the tobacco circular to include the latest information on'selection, pre paration,' and fertilization of seed beds; selection and preparation of the field; fertilizers; transplanting and cultivating; control of insects, top ping, and suckering; selection of seed plants; harvesting; curing; and grad ing and marketing. Five photographs have been includ ed in the revised circular to illustrate information contained in the printed matter. The text has also been pre pared so as to be more easily read. Among the important revisions in the publication are the 1 attest recom mendations on the best types and amounts of fertilizers. This data is based on the experiments of research leaders of North Carolina and other tobacco-growing States, and on the results of field demonstrations con ducted by farmers cooperating with their county agents. jajsrax JYVW . rm after spending- last week with her mother, Mrs. W.

State College to be honored. Dr. I. O. Schaub, dean of the school of agriculture and <H rector of the Extension Service, was named the "Man of tire Year" in 1988. In announcing toe selection for 1940, Dr. Clarence Foe, editor it I The Progressive Farmer, Wrote: "By I being made head of tire Consolidated I University of North Carolina . \ I President Fmpk p/^ham had an opportunity either to greatly dis-1 courage and diminish or to greatly! enctmrageand enlarge our own North I Carolina agricultural college. Be cause he was big enough of brain and heart to choose the latter course?we honor him as 1940 'Man of the Year' in service tx> North Carolina agricul ture." The honor to Dr. Graham is being widely acclaimed on the State Col lege campus. Dr. Graham secured fund*~in 1940 for greatly enlarging the agricultural research program of State College and for beginning the virtual equivalent of a "Kenan Fund" for guettang and keeping the fore most leaders in agricultural research, teaching and Extension. # In citing the value of Dr. Graham's contribution, Dr. Poe said; "Tower ing above all other agencies in pro moting American rural progress these last twenty years have been our agri cultural colleges?the so-calledland grant colleges' with their > ever-in creasing efficient research, teaching and Extension staffs. Dr. Graham decided that State College must be made, if possible, the South'B lore most agricultural and technical in stitution." Kegardless of how the War in Europe ends, the sturdy defense of England has given the United States time in which to prepare for its own defense.
