How do men profit? They worry
less about money, are less nervous
about holding their jobs, have a
better attitude toward their work,
therefore they are better compan
ions in the home.

NEED FOR BUILDING j
UP SOIL IS GREAT
Corn-Hog Program To
Encourage Soil Im
provement
The corn-hog program for 1936-
37 is designed to encourage sale
improvement and to stabilize the
production of corn and hogs for the
best interests of the grower and the
consumer.
The need for building up the soil
is now greater than for increasing
the planting of food and feed crops,
said W. W. Shay, swine specialist at
State College.
The new contracts stipulate that
land retired from corn cultivation
must be planted to soil-building or
erosion-preventing crops, pasturage,
trees, or the like, Shay stated.
And this must be in addition to
the land normally used for such pur
poses, he emphasized.
In the past, he added, the produc
tion of hogs has fluctuated widely.
Either a surplus or a shortage of
pork is undesirable, and the program
will tend to keep production in line
with consumption.
A grower may agree to adjust his
corn production next year by 10 to
30 per cent of his base and receive
an adjustment' payment of 35 cents
a bushel on the average yield of the
land taken out of corn.
To receive the maximum hog
payment, the grower must raise not
less than 50 per cent nor more than
100 per cent of his market base. The
payment will be $1.25 for each hog
in his market base.
Under certain conditions, a grow
er may sign to adjust his corn crop
and keep his hog production the
same, or to adjust his hog produc
tion and keep his corn crop at the
same level.
In 1937 the adjustment and pay
ments will be similar to those in
1936; the exact rate to be announced
later by the Secretary of Agriculture.
The new contracts will be ready in
the next few weeks, Shay added.
Will Wanted A Divorce,
Nothing Else Answered
Will Carter, Yadkinville colored
man, wanted a divorce and he
wanted it bad and he got it, and a
Blum's Almanac, too.
Will is a quiet negro about town
but totally without education or the
knowledge of the process of law and
lawyers but he was taking no chan
ces on any corner. About all that
Will knew when questioned on the
stand, was that his wife, Agnella.
had left him and he wanted the
marital ties cut. The aid of white
folks was called for to establish that
she had been gone two years and
the divorce decree was rendered set
ting him free from the spov.se that
had failed him.
When court adjourned for the day
Will lingered on and called on his
attorney, A. E. Hall, telling him he
wanted "his divoce." Mr. Hall in
formed him that everything was
well and good and that he should
go his way rejoicing in his new
found freedom. Will grinned that
doubtful kind of grin, but walked
out.
Next morning when Mr. Hall
came to his office Will was stand
ing in front. "What you want this
morning, Will?" inquired Mr. Hall
of his client.
"I come to git my divoce," Mr.
Hall," Will told him and he was in
earnest about it.
"All right, come on up Will, I
have it all ready for you," Mr. Hall
told him, and when they reached
his office Mr. Hall picked up a
Blum's Almanac, handed it to Will,
and said
"Here it is, Will, I fixed it up last
night, you're all right now."
"Thank ye, Mista' Hall, thank ye,
I'se glad to get it, and I sho is
gwine ter use it Chris'mas," said
Will as he walked out placing his
new possession in his pocket with
an air of having outwitted them all.
