UNITED STATES SENATOR
The visit of Mrs. Franklin D.
Jloosevelt, wife of the President, to
North Carolina, where she will be
the honor gueat of (the stalwart citi
zens of the Eastern section of the
state, at Wallace, is more evidence of
the part women are playing in pub
lic affairs. Like her distinguished
husband, Mrs. . Roosevelt utilizes
every opportunity to meet and mingle
with people and her many visits to
the state are evidence of her keen
appreciation for North Carolina
where she is always given a hearty
welcome.
Therefore, the great gathering
scheduled for Wallace on Friday, with
the First Lady as the guest of honor
fives me a long-postponed opport
unity to commend the part that wo
men generally have in civic and poli
tical functions. No longer do they
just attend banquets and applaud the
words of mere man; they now have
an active pant in the arrangements
and share the responsibilities. And
their activities are having a whole
some effect on these affairs. The
hands that keep order in the home
and office are truly exercising a be
neficial effect on public activities of
every character.
The part that women are playing
in national affairs is no better evi
denced than In the records of our
great national conventions. In this
connection, it is interesting to note
that at the Democratic National Con
vention of 1912 the first attended by
President Roosevelt there were
only two women delegates. But at
the convention of 1932, which nomi
nated our illustrious President, there
were 208 women delegates and more
at Philadelphia in 1936. And every
one concedes that the presence of the
fine women who are leaders in the
affairs of their respective states has
meant more orderly and pleasant
gatherings of national leaders.
It is all evidence that our coun-
YJfl berinninor to make a greater
Tthe variety of abilities and
'es possessed by women, and
t the limitations which were.
eristic of the position 6f wo-
en-A our earlier order are now be
Ing overcome. ,
Except for 1 an aged lady from
Georgia who, held ' office for one
ceremonial, day, no woman had been
either appointed or elected to the
United States Senate - until the au
tumn of 1931, when Arkansas elected
the widow of a statesman to suc
ceed her husband for the unexpired
term, i Since, that distinguished lady,
Senator Hattie Carraway, has been
elected in her own right and is now
serving with honor. Her daily pre-
Bence in the Senate id an inspiration
to her colleagues. In addition to be-
t ing chairman of a "Committee -the
Committee on & Enrolled- Bills ehe
also serves on the Committees son
Agriculture and, Forestry, Commerce
and thev Library, i It is needless to
say that she' bears her share of Se
natorial responsibilities.
In the House of Representatives
are a number of active women who
merit 'their Offices. - It is a far cry
from the furore created in 1916 when
Montana elected the first woman to
the National Legislature.
But whether serving in public of
fice, at a desk, in the home or on
the farm,9 women are proving their
right to assume greater responsibi
lities and have greater recognition.
And the visit of Mrs. Roosevelt to
, North, Carolina, where " the : First
Lady will mingle with Carolina wo-
.-. men who are first . in the hearts of
their communities,-is more evidence
of . the part' women have; and .de
serve in our affairs, national, state
, and local.

The choice of a color is most im

by painting the roof and upper body
In a dark color, and the lower body
In a light color. If It cant he mvlded
In that fashion, simply use a neutral

also long and narrow, do something

heating, an unbalanced diet, or a

should be to find the cause and cor

destroyed and Epsom Salts given to
the remaining birds at the rate of
one-half pound to each two and one-
i nalf nli 0f drinkine water. This
ghould be kept before the birds for
one day and a suitable germicide
kept in the drinking water while
there is evidence of the trouble. Us
ually an outbreak of colds runs its
course and if good management and
sanitation is practiced only a few
birds are lost.
Question: In topping tobacco, how
many leaves should be left on the
stalk?
Answer: This depends to a great
extent upon soil conditions and the
amount of fertilizer used. On the
average soils of the State, tobacco
will mature when fifteen to eighteen
leaves are left on the stalk. On poor
er soils the plant should be topped
lower and on the richer soils it
should be topped higher. Be sure and
begin topping just as soon as the
seed parts of the plant begin to
show. The tobacco will run up enough
to top every three days and should
be topped as uniformly as possible
so that the plants will mature more
evenly.

for feeding dairy animals in the
summer?
. Answer: Silage has its place in
summer feeding only as a supple
ment to short pasture. Where the
silage crops yield well they furnish
a cheaper and more convenient sup
plement to the short pasture tnando
soiling crops. Where it is avail
able, it is aUo well to feed a reason
able amount in the morning for the
first several days after cows are
turned on pasture. This is advis
able even with an abundance of
grazing as it prevents the animals
from gorging on the tender, watery
grass which tends to scour them.
Treated Seed Checks
Damping-Off Disease
Depite unfavorable weather, fairly
good stands of cotton are growing on
some 250,000 North Carolina acres
which were planted with seed that
had been treated to control damping
on disease.
This disease, which has been a
menace to the cotton crop, is being
brought under control as more farm
ers treat their seed, said Dr. Luther
Shaw, extension plant pathologist at
State College.
Last year, he said, good results
were obtained on some 20,000 acres,
and this year 12 times as much land
has been planted with treated seed.
A recent survey of 47 farms in
16 counties representative of all the
cotton-growing sections of the State
'showed that an average of 452 plants
were found in 100 feet of row where
treated seed was planted, whereas
only 307 plants per 100 feet were
produced by untreated seed.
Moreover, Dr. Shaw said, the
treated seed will produce healthier,
more vigorous plants that will make
bigger yields of bettir quality lint.
The treatment costs about 27 cents
per acre and increased the value of

Similar benefits are expected this
year, he added.
The treatment recommended is
