i off in a big way for Eugene Jeffries
of Route 3, Burlington, 'winner of the
xpm btate sou conservation contest
for Negro farmers.
According to J. Frank Doggett, soil
conservationist for the State College
extension service, Jeffries was work
. ing as a .tenant on a 120-acre farm
m Alamance-County in 1942. Al
though the land was run-down and in
poor condition, he decided to buy the
farm and see what he could do to im
prove it,
Jeffries financed the purchase
through the Farm Security Adminis
tration. He was given 40 years in
which to repay the money, but he
was so successful in his operation of
( ithe farm that he completed the pay
ments in just four years. ,.
He terraced all the open land and
began using lime, phosphate, and
seeds obtained through the AAA. He
also used barnyard manure liberally
to increase the productivity of his
soil.
As a result, Jeffries says his corn
yields have jumped from 12 to 60
bushels per acre, wheat yields from
five to 20 bushels, and tobacco from
800 to 1705 pounds per acre.
He has seeded eight acres of im
proved pasture and has cleared up
scrub pines, briars, and broomsedge.
He now has two acres of old meadow
land bogged up to be seeded in La
dino clover and fesue early in Septem
ber. Jeffries has also dug a basement,
built a 16 by 30 foot pack barn,
erected a five-room house for one of
his sons, installed electric lights and
a telephone, and his home insulated
with rock-wool.
Jeffries sava he has had the full
cooperation of his wife, daughter, and
two sons in this improvement pro

Fatigue a Cause of Depression
Most of us who become thorouirhlv
discouraged are not in trood rnnditinn
physically. No one is himself when
fatigued. His intellectual faculties are
not normal.
The people who have been success
ful in life are not as a rule those
with the most brilliant intellects, but
those who do not easilv eiv un tn
discouragement. They go on and on
in spite of apparent failure. When
they fac-i a stone wall, thev either e-o
around it or blast a passage throus-li
it. Victory and success do not 'often
come to the quitter, but to the patient
worker, who like the potter turns de
feat into victory by not giving way
to discouragement.
Good health is the first nrereauisit.p
of a successful life. If a person is
113 van unve jiimseii nara up
to a certain pomt, but he should not
allow himself to grow so tired each
day thp.t his body does not become
rested during the night. If he does
that, he injures himself bv accumu
lated fatigue. While in this state the
neaitn suiters and the morale is so
broken that he eives wav to tho dp
pression and discouragement which
tne condition engenders.
It is at such times that willnower
is weak and many foolish deeds are
committed and errors made that
would have been deemed impossibl
at other times.
When one is fatigued and discour
aged the feelings are most sensitive.
Slights are imagined where none are
meant and the quick retort leaps to
the lips to be repented of later.
! When you are weary, nature is bid
ding you rest. To drive yourself dav
by day to your last atom of strength
is like applying a lash to a weary
horse. His new energy is apparent but
not real. You know that he can not
do his best work and endure such
treatment, neither can a human be

Mine's one business where you just

Actually, there's no business where
you can let things slide and still stay
right up there. That's why the beer
industry in this state, like Buck,
spends a lot of time checking up
seeing to it that beer is sold strictly
under the regulations set up by the
Malt Beverage Division of the North
Carolina ABC Board. Tavern owners
realize that when you "let things
