H "DOGWOOD WEEK" TO BE AN ANNUAL CAROLINA PROJECT The Farmville Garden Club is spon soring- "Dogwood Week" during the week of January 27th, and request all citizens of the town and community to plant one or more Dogwoods. The State Garden Club planned at the October board meeting to promote the planting of these trees as widely as possible hi the State. The last of Jan uary will probably be the best time to transplant Dogwoods. Mrs. Charlotte Hilton Green, who writes "Out-of-Doors in Carolina", urges planting of Dogwoods - around the homes, along the country lanes and the bigger highways, m public grounds, churchyards, cemeteries, and parks. She asks why doesn't the South make more of its God-given beauty, the flowering dogwood? "God's gift to Southern forests" is what Clarence Poe, editor of the Pro gressive Farmer, so aptly names the Dogwood. She continues that here it is at our very door-step, just for the trouble of digging and transplanting, and note please, that doee not mean raiding the other fellow's woodland. Instead make a deal with the fanner to <4>tain the trees. Or they can be purchased from the State Depart ment of Conservation and Develop ment for $20.00 per hundred, or ten for |2.00. We could make the entire State a gigantic "Dogwood Festival" that would in time rival Japan's Cherry Blossom Festival. Let each and every one do his or her part towards creating this, North Carolina, the State of Dogwoods. This would be moet fitting as it is the State Flower. I Listening at the witticisms direct - ed towards the Income Tax Reports at this season when estimates are "in vogue," we think the best we have heard-was a remark made bvEd Nash Warren, of the local Post Office, who said, "Well, I'd rather worry with that income tax business than worry without it." Farmers (nay soon be able to get telephone service over rural electric lines, if tests are satisfactorily work ed out Shortages in materials for pack ing food will continue during the coming year but no bottlenecks are expected. Everything in the feed line has be come so tightly bound by trading that manufacturers are bartering furiously for most of the proteein used. Farmers -will profit if they make plans m January to cover the next few years, farm management spe cialists of the N. C. Extension Ser vice say., As to food supplies for 1946, only sugar find some fata and oils are ex pected to be short when summer comes along. mA 4< A V PINT RETAIL Pa moor ACt In Church Groups w ?

HATEM, BIRD CLUB An article on the Canary was read by Billie Russell at Saturday's Bird Club meeting. This bird found today in every country on the globe, occu uies a remarkable place, since among our common domestic birds it alone is kept and reared solely for the pleasure and companionship that it brings into our homes. Its contribu tion to our well being comes entirely in the form of pleasing songs and in teresting mannerisms. It joins the cultivated flowers m making attrac tive the background of our lives. The true wild Canary is grayish above streaked rather heavily with blackish, and marked with yellow on the rump and crown. The breast is dull yellow and the sides grayish, in distinctly streaked. This is the stock from which all our domestic Canaries have come. Accustomed as we are to the Ca nary in captivity it seems strange to consider them as living wholly at freedom. In their island homes they range commonly in gardens and or chards, and are also found in sterile, atony where they may be tame and confiding, or wild and difficult to approach. Canaries remained rare for a considerable period and commanded such prices that for a long time they were kept only by the wealthy. The nests are cups of grasses and weed stems lined with softer mater ials, placed in bushes or on low branches of trees. The three to five eggs are light green, spotted with reddish brown. The song is as attrac tive as in captive birds, though not so prolonged in utterance, nor is it given for so much of the year. Among the distinct strains kept by Canary fanciers are'the White, Cin namon, Lisard, Norwich, Belgian Fancy, and Scotch Fancy, Crested, Lancashire, Frilled and Yorkshire. || The shortage of recommended cotton seed for planting- this year has reached a critical stage.
