POOLE'S MEDLEY
by D. Scott Poole.
The town of Raeford had the side
walks in the business part of town
paved in 1910. That must have been
En exceptionally good job, for other
paving put down several years later
has not stood as well as that first
job.
When ditches were cut to put in
water and sewerage systems, the clay
subsoil thrown on the streets made
good, hard dustless s eets. If sand and
clay are mixed in the proper propor
tion, soil roads are good in a self
drained sandy section, but soil roads
are a waste of time and money in
the coastal and clay hill portions of
the country.
The United States Navy will con
tain over one hundred and forty
thousand fighting ships, when the
twenty thousand now under con
struction are finished. Never in all
time has any country owned such a
navy. The United States had only
350 ships when the Japs attacked
Pearl Harbor, and there were those
boasting of America's greatest navy
then.
I heard Dr. John D Cunning
ham, president of Davidson college,
in a sermon preached in the First
Presbyterian church, Charlotte, say,
that unless it was the will of Goci,
trained soldiers, a large Navy, a world
astounding air fleet, all these would
be unavailing. His text was: "Not
by might, nor by power, but by My
Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts." That's
the truth.
Men and women, too, I suppose
think it is not wrong to take and
appropriate to our own use, money
which belongs to everybody the
government's for it is as much one's
as another's. They are wrong in
that, for government money is as dis
tinctly NOT MINE as a bank's money.
Nearly every body believes
themsel-s to be truthful, but I have
concluded that nearly everybody lies.
When we pretend we know nothing
about a certain matter, when we do,
we lie. When we deceive a child,
we are lying. Let's quit it, and
"come clean."
The building, now occupied by
Hoke drug company, was the home
of the Bank of Raeford, before it
erected the building it now occupies.
In 1890, there was not a bank be
tween Charlotte and Wilmington.
W. W. Holden was a Secessionist,
and said he was going to keep the
pen with which he signed the Seces
sion Act as an heirloom.
Todd R. Caldwell was the last Re
publican to hold the office of gov
ernor, until Daniel L. Russell came
in. The Republicans had been out
so long no one man could supply
all their wants.
It might prove to 'be an expensive
thing for the Democratic party, but
four years of Republican rule in
North Carolina would bring good re
sults, no doubt. And it will come.
There was a heated campaign in
the Old North State in 1876. Zeb
Vance won the governorship, and
resigned to accept a seat in the U. S.
Senate in 1879. Then, Lieut. Gov
ernor Thomas J. Jarvis succeeded
to the governorship. Jarvis was
elected for a term of his own. Gov
ernor Daniel G. Fonvle died in of
fice and Lieut. Governor Thomas M.
Holt became governor.
The Americans have to bury the
Japs they kill, and it looks like the
Japs rush on them to get out of this
trouble they have brought on them
selves. Hardly five thousand Jap
anese have ibeen captured, while
nearly as many million Germans sur
rendered within the past year. The
Germans know where the rations
are.

Farm Questions
QUESTION: Can you gfve me a
plan for a poultry range shelter?
ANSWER: Yes. Plan No. 305 by
the Poultry Department at State
college provides you with the in
formation needeS for building a shel
ter. H. C. Ganger, poultry patholo
gist of the Agricultural Experiment
Station, says this range shelter when
placed on ground that has not been
used by chickens or received poultry
manure for two years will do more
to control worms and disease than
all the medicines. The shelter must
be on skids so that it can be moved
about 50 to 75 yards every 30 to 45
days. Feed and water containers
should be moved to new locations
every week. Don't forget to provide
some shelter of brush or the like
for the pullets.

Farm Slaughterers
File By July 1
RALEIGH. June 13. Farmers in
Eastern North Carolina who slaugh
ter or have animals slaughtered for
sale as meat were reminded today
by OPA District Director Theodore
S. Johnson that they must obtain a
class 3 slaughterer's permit by filing
a simple form with their War Price
and Rationing Board, beforeJuly 1;
even though they may not be slaugh
tering until next fall or winter.
A class three slaughterer, he de
fined, is a resident operator of a
farm, who sold not more than six
thousand pounds of meat, resulting
from slaughter of his own livestock,
last year. 1
Those who sold no dressed meat
in 1944 may register with their
ration boards and obtain a permit
to market up to 400 pounds this
year; but not permit is required to
dress meat for the farmer's own
home consumption, from livestock
he has raised, Johnson observed.
Simple fonms for reporting sales
will be supplied to farmers when
their permits are issued, he added.

Keen Laying Flock
Cool During Summer
When the temperature goes up
and egg production in the laying
flock goes down, the poultryman
can help his hens to hold better
production by providing cnol houses
i and controlling external parasites.
ays C. J. :Maupin, Extension poultry
specialist at State College.
Insulating laying houses or having
a double wall arrangement is the
ibest method of providing lower tem
perature in summer as well as
warmer conditions in winter. But.
since many poultry houses are not
constructc1;! in this manner, the next
.best bet is to have sufficient win-
' dows or doors to provide good cir
culation of air. It is especially good
tr have currents of air near the
floor.
Some poultrymen find it profit
able to have portable sections in the
erwls and back of the laying house
which can be removed or lowered
on hinges to provide more circula-
i tion of air.
One of the newer ideas for poultry
men having larger flocks is to build
I a special type range shelter wr shade
I shelter for laying hens in summer
! months. Hens may be moved to
such houses near the end of their
laying year so the regular laying
houses can be made ready for the
early hatcheH pullet crop. It will
also make a good house for surplus
pullets, cockerels, or hens.
With the first hot days of sum
mer, chicken mites and lice also ar
rive. This is especially true of mites,
and they should be controlled when
the first ones appear, because these
little insects have a way of multiply
ing very rapidly. "It is a good plan
to play safe by spraying all roost
poles and roosting area whether
rites have been found or not," Mau-j
pin says.' A home-made spray mix
ture may be made with equal parts j
of used motor oil and kerosene.

QUESTION: Is it too late to plant
soybeans for grazing?
ANSWER: They should have been
planted by May 15 in the mountains
but in your section they can be
planted during June, the earlier the
better. Fertilize at planting, about
two cultivations, and you are ready
to graze the plants at a height of
about 12 inches. In the Coastal Plain
you will find it good practice to
topdress the crop with 50 to 100
pounds of muriate of potash per
acre. Other good grazing crops for
summer are Sudan grass and cow-
peas.
Small Moth Causes
Damage To Clothing
The small moth that avoids the
flame and then hastily disappears in
the darkness is generally the one
that lays the eggs and causes the
greatest damage, say Extension
clothing specialists at State College.
There are many moths that flutter
around the lights in the house but
these should not be given the same
attention as the tiny moths that
try to avoid the light.
Millions of (dollars worth of clothes
and -fabrics are ruined toy moths
every year and under present wartime
conditions this should be stopped,
say the clothing specialists. They
urge everyone to closely follow the
recommendations of the entomolo
gists in fighting the moth.
Before putting clothing away for
the summer, they should be thor
oughly sunned, and the seams and
pockets should be carefully brushed.
Store the clothing in a tight con
tainer and put one pound of naptha
lene flakes or PDB crystals to ev
ery one hundred cubic feet of space.
If the floor arfd cracks in closets
are kept free of lint and dust, moths
will not breed so easily. A good
fly spray can be used to kill any
moth worms in cracks and corners.
Vacuum cleaning is especially
helpful in protecting rugs, chairs,
and the like.

for 1944 released by the Stara Depart
ment of Agriculture shows.
The Statistics division of the de
partment placed the value of the
tobacco crop at $326,619,000 and the
remainder of all 25 principal crops
at $304,625,000.
For instance, all fruits totaled
$11 173,000; corn, $78,832,300; cot

QUESTION: Can I use saltpeter
to promote the rotting of stumps?
ANSWER: "I have not been able
to find any information in regard'
to the use of this material as you i
suggest," says R. W. Graeber, in J
charge of Extension forestry at State
College. "Since the trees have been
cut, I am doubtful if anything can j
be introduced to promote decay. U.
C. Farmers Bulletin No. 1526 says,
that poison cannot be used success
fully on stumps, due to the fact that'
the circulatory system has been cut I

QUESTION: How can I get rid of
Bermuda grass?
ANSWER: There are two methods
of attack, according to Dr. R. L. Lov-
vorr. of the Agricultural Experiment
station at State college. Since the
grass cannot tolerate continuous
shade, such crops as cowpeas, velvet
beans or crotalaria may be grown
in summer to be followed by oats and
vetch during the winter. Another
attack is to plow the rootstocks to
ward the surface during the fall and
let them freeze during the winter.
Repeating this operation will be of
great help. Ammate will kill Ber
muda where heavy applications are
made.' It is rather expensive and will
likely make the soil sterile for a
while.
