Northern Boys
Try Hands At
Picking Cotton
Hickory, Sept. 21 For the first
time since the 'Sixties, uniformed
Yankees marched through a cotton
field of Catawba county yesterday.
They were naval aviation cadets in
training at the Hickory Municipal air
p.Tt and Lenoir-Rhyne college; and
the six-acre cotton field was on the
farm of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Hilton in
the Banoak section.
Like many other farmers, Mr. and
Mrs. Hilton were left short of help
when their sons marched away to war,
so the cadets lent them a hand. Mr.
and Mrs. Hilton lost a son. Seaman
Wilson Hilton, at Pearl Harbor, and
have six others in service.
Only two of the 70 cadets knew the
first thing about picking cotton, most
of them being New Englanders; but
they did a good job, despite aching
backs. One solved the problem by
lying flat on his back and scooting
along on his elbows. Several sang
songs, ranging from "boogie-woogie"
to Negro spirituals.
John Quinn of Lowell, Mass. said
with a laugh: "They come up to Low
ell and get our cotton mills and then
we come down here and pick their
cotton for them." Another cadet said
he thought his forefathers had made a
big mistake in freeing the slaves. "I
wish they were here now." Charles
Chewning, Rochester, Pa., said, "I
thought working in a steel mill was
hard on your back but this is worse."
Among the pickers was J. W. Crock
er, a graduate of Montevideo univer
sity, Uruguay, who said that "seeing
my first cotton was an even bigger
thrill than when I saw my first snow
in New York last winter."

Penny-Savers Asked
To Empty Piggy-Banks
Even all those ersatz coppers the
Treasury has been making, those that
look so much like dimes, haven't sat
isfied the demand for pennies tftere's
still a groat shortage of the en; cent
pieces, according to Wilmer McDon
ald, cashier of the Bank of Raeford.
j In the past two weeks the local
I banking house has placed orders with
' two of the largest banks in the state
! for $100.00 worth of pennies and each
' ,.,L- tVlnir hni'O Iwilll linnlllp tO SllHnlV
anything like this amount. Mr. Mc
Donald states that it takes about 10,
000 pennies to supply the local de
mands each week and that shipments
into the bank recently have dropped
to about 1,000. Local stores have
supplied the balance so far.
Folks who have pennies saved up in
piggy-banks and other coin catchers
are asked to turn these coins of what
ever denomination into the bank or
postoffice for War Stamps or Bonds,
to help supply the demand for coins.

Farmers who would like to take a
personal crack at Hitler and the Japs
can get in a double blow on their
own farms this fall by planting win
ter legumes early according to J. C.
Hutchinson, asst soil conservationist
for the Pec-Dee-Cape Fear Area.
A good growth of winter legumes
will add the equivalent of 600 to 800
pounds of nitrate of soda per acre
when turnej under next spring. And
there's enough nitrogen in tl.at much
nitrate of socia t make a 500-pound
bomb, he explained.
In other words, farmers can save
enough commercial nitrogen with ev
ery acre of winter legumes, if they get
a good growth, to make a 500-pound
bomb to drop on the Axis partners.
But in order to get a good growth,
legumes must be planted early, and
early planting means preparing now
to plant when the season is right.
Early planted legumes will also help
to control erosion, will make suffici
ent growth for early spring grazing,
and will increase yields of other crops
needed in the war effort, and that's

Here is what Mr. Comer said about his sale: "I an well satisfied with my sale Some of the better grades
didn't bring quite as much as I expected, but the higher offerings for the lower grades brought my average up
to a figure beyond my expectations. I will have about 3,000 pounds of tobacco to sell, and although my

Scores of other growers had similar good words to say for their sales with us, and the above is but a sample.
