' Act of March - The boon that seem longest are from 1:80 to 8:30?both p. m. and a. m. Only a few men know precisely when a shirt is unfit for further As the fertility of the soil goes, so goes industry, government, and civili zation. Henry Ford notwithstanding, the chance of anybody making $100,000, 000 after he is tarty years old is slim. We have been in business a long time but are still resentful of unre quested advice offered for our own good. Winter is the time to prune, spray and thin orchards, according to hor ticulturists of the Agricultural Ex tension Service. Strip Cropping Is Great Soil Saver Anyone who doubts the value of strip cropping: on rolling: land should visit V. E. Coltrane of Julian m Guil for County, says Frank Doggett, Ex tension soil conservationist at State College. Strip cropping not only saves soil but it also helps to greatly increase crop yields. Coltrane. produced 74 bushels of hybrid corn per acre on one of his strips last year as com pared with about 20 bushels of open pollinated ^com under the old method of up and down hill, as was the case several yean ago. , So enthusiastic is Coltrane about strip cropping that he maintains that he will soon be able to make 100 bushels of corn per acre and "not strain his land." The fields on the Coltrane farm are planted in stripe, alternately to row crops and soil building legumes. "If the soil and water break away on the cultivated stripe, it is caught by the crop stripe, and the water seeps into the ground instead of running off," says Coltrane. "Then the cover crops are turned under, making the " soil loose and as porous as blotting papa*. I believe that with this prac tice I am building at least one-half inch of topeoil on this land a year. "The .sod 'waterw^yB in these fields furnish a surer crop of the finest kind of hay twice a year. I don't have to buy expensive seed every year and I don't have to take the time and expense of preparing a seed bed. I also don't have to buy fertilizer every year to get hay crops. I have that time and money, and also the land, to grow legumes for soil building pur poses. "The string-row method has helped me increase tobacco yielrs. The Soil Conservation Service is due much credit for introducing these new prac tices." DECEASED Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Parker received a communication, on February 3. from Secretary of the Navy, James Forreetal, stating that their eon, En sign Pkul Aaron Parker, of the Unit ' ed States Naval Reserve^ had been officially recorded aa deceased.

Cowpens, in a fighter sweep engagement over the Island of Saipan of the Marian aa. Parker's plana was hit and landed m the water, after which no trace could ^ be found and no further information was received concerning his fate. Secretary Forreetal stated that "he gave Us life for his country, up holding the highest traditions of the Navy." " Ensign Parker was posthumously awarded the Air Medal and also the Gold Star, m lieu of a second medal. NOTE OF APPRECIATION We, the family of Mm. JTT.

Tyson delightfully en tertained the Rebecca Winbourne Chapter, U. D. C., at its February meeting. The Tyson home was made mora attractive by the use of potted plants. Mrs. J. W. Parker presided in the absence of the president Mrs. R. D. Rouse. The treasurer reported a note of thanks received for a recent gift sent to the Old Ladies' home, Fayetteville. Miss Annie Perkins gave a report of the committee on Sidney Lanier and a collection of $5.30 was taken fcr the Lanier Fund. Attractive year books .were distributed, at this time by the historian. Mrs. Quinton Gregory, of Halifax, a past division historian, wea guest speaker and brought an informative message with a touching appeal. Piano selections, "Poem" and "Scarf Dance" were rendered in a musicianly maimer by Miss Joyce Tyson, daughter of the hostess. During the social hour, the hostess served chicken salad, pickles, crack ers, nuts and tea. BIRD NOTES Bert Barrow Warren read an arti cle, at the meeting, Saturday, by Dr. Wesley Taylor on his experience TV,... t Purple He tried for tan years by fancy apartments, nicely painted, to entice them as residents and failed chtima Then a kind old lady gave kirn a dozen gourds in which he eat a 2% inch door and pat up in the busi ist spot on the farm. He attadwd the gourds with a stiff wire to a long pole, to discourage swaying, and erected them on March 4. A pair of Martins promptly moved in and than others began arriving and remained until the beginning of August The next year .the first ones came on March 22 and aoon then wen twelve pain. The fourth year they arrived on March 4 again to find fifty-six gourds awaiting them. Dr. Taylor says it is Strange that they move into the old apartments first and will not occupy the new ones until vacancies are filled there. The gourds vary hi size, measur ing from <14 to 12 inches, and the location of the door seems to be of Httle importance to the birds, who like their homes in the opesv sway from trees and tall buildings, proba bly feeling safer from flying spuir rals. The poles should be ten to fifteen feet in height with a shield seven or eight feet from the ground to guard against cats and squirrels. A neces sary feature is the provision of small holes in the bottoms of gourds for drainage of rainwater. It is well to erect the poles so they may be taken down easily for cleaning and varnish ing after the Martins leave. Storing until February, prevents other birds from occupying them. Dr. Taylor advisee putting up the gourds early in open spaces, with each pole carryiing at least four apartments with the lowest one ten feet from the ground.
