Be hind this change in the allocation, however, was a week of bitter wrangling and floor debate, with an ensuing parliamentary snarl that ?ome observers ^aid wa? the worst ih years. The fight centered around the House Finance Committee version of the bill reported out last week; it called for an appropriation of $30 million from the Post War Reserve Fund and the submission of a 520 toil I ton bond issue to the people. In that form it was unacceptable to the school forces" in the Uou*. as their plan called for the Use of the Re serve Fund to provide for an in crease in school teacher salaries to a minimum of S2200. After several postponements, the- bill finally got ro the House floor for debate on Thursday and was met by a flood of amend men's. When the smoke cleared the proponents of the $50 ml I Hon bond issue iiad triumphed) and the Post War Reserve Fund was untapped. Though this was hailed as a victory for Governor Scott's school program, it remains to be seen, first, whether the Senate will approve the bill in its present form, and second, whether the Post W^r Reserve can now be drained for school teachers' salaries as was pro posed by the Appropriations Com mittee. Port Bonds Wednesday of this week was, in the minds of many legislators and on the lips of at least one, a "great day in the history of North Carolina" thta da>' the House pass ed HB 936 which authorizes the is suance of 57.500,000 in bonds for the construction of seaports" in our state; no opposition is foreseen in the Senate.

Matters of Local Interest Two bills by which local govern j men. stood to gain financially went by the board this week when they received unfavorable reports. One. SB 329. would probably have result ed in wider .realization by counties and cities of tax revenues from in terurban motor carriers under a for I mula described In this bulletin when introduced. The other SB 327, would j have allowed rebates to municipal! I tios of all taxes paid on gas used j in municipally- owned vehicles.

Many farmers rework rhe ce^ls of either old or new plates in order to get an accurate see^ drop. The im portant point Is to make sure that : the largest kernels of corn can be planted without difficulty. If this Is done, the smaller kernels will cause no trouble, especially in well-grad- , ed lots of corn. Most manufacturers of corn plan ters are willing to help farmers se lect the "proper plates, says Dr. Moore. However, he adds, farmers must be willing to heip themselves.: They must realize that luck is nei ther a good farming partner nor a substitute for the proper plates.
