C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1934 CHANGE OF CHAIRS FEATURE OF 'Y' DAY Total of 13 Meetings Held in Single Day and Night at Y. M. C. A. - It Is Shown A crowded program means chair-moving day down at the Y. M. C. A. Thirteen different functions, in cluding the thirteenth victory of the season for the varsity basket ball team, were held in the build ing—and the chairs had to be moved almost every time. "We only have about 350 chairs," Secretary J. A. Harper I said today, "and every time we have a supper meeting or some such gathering upstairs, we need the chairs there. Then, when there is a basketball game down stairs, we must needs carry the same seating arrangements down there." Here was the day's line-up: 3:30-4:00 Activities contest. (Chairs upstairs). 4:00-6:00—Boys' game room period. (No chairs). 5:00-6:00 Girls' basketball practice. (Chairs downstairs). 6:00-7:00—Men and boys' gym classes. (No chairs). 6:45-7:4s—Senior girls' Hi-Y meeting. (Chairs upstairs). 7:00-8:00—Junior girls Hi-Y meeting. (Chairs upstairs). 7:00.9:30 Shopmen's associa tion meeting. (Chairs upstairs but in different room). 7:30-9:oo—Men's first aid class. (Borrowed some chairm from shop men). 8:00-9:00—Women's first aid class. (Borrowed few chairs from men first aiders and shop men). 7:00-8:00—Whitakers and Red Oak girls' cage game. (Borrowed all available chairs for down stairs). 8:00-9:00—Y varsity vs. Raleigh Jay-Cees (More people and mad hunt for all available chairs down, stairs). 9:00-10:00—Whitakers boys vs. Red Oak boys (All chairs finally taken downstairs). ■ o FOUR STILLS IN NASH CAPTURED L. G. Adams Captured and Booked on Charges of Manufacturing Liquor Four large stills, one alleged distiller, 3,000 gallons of liqujr beer and five gallons of whiskey were taken by Nash County offi cers in a concerted series of raids last week. The prisoner, L. G. Adams, young white man, was captured at the site of one of the stills and held on charges of manufacturing liquor for the purpose of sale. Later he was released under bond. The officers, Deputy Sheriffs P. H. Johnson, J. R. Tanner and J. H. Griffin, started at a point along the bank of the Tar river in Nash County and in less than two miles came across all four of the stills and 12 places at which beer was concealed, Tanner stated. All of the stills were in opera tion when the officers approached but attendants evidently heard them coming and fled. Adams was taken by surprise and surrendered without offering resistance. o STEPHENSON J. CLARK Mr. and Mrs. O. J. Nye of 515 Cokey Road, Rocky Mount, have returned from Vandemere, N. C., where they attended the Masonic burial of Mrs. Nye's uncle, Stephen J. Clarke. Mr. Clark is survived by his widow, Mrs. Ellen Clark. Mr. Clark was 70 odd years old, a prominent Mason, a merchant, and a prominent Democratic leader in his vicinity. He had been an in valid for about three years and died Sunday, February 4 at his home in Vandemere, and w*s buried Monday at 3 p. m. INTERESTING FARM NEWS BETTER COTTON STAPLE NEEDED IN STATE College Station, Raleigh, Feb. 13. —North Carolina mills use ap proximately one and one-half mil lion bales of cotton each year, and of this amount about one million bales is 15-16 inch or longer. "North Carolina farmers should grow the types in greatest demand by the mills instead of having to export our cotton or ship it to other states," says P. H. Kime, associate agronomist of the North Carolina Experiment Station. "There was a time when the mills using the better staple lengths did not want our cotton. It was short, and irregular in length and qual ity. Much improvement has been made in both the length and quality during the past few years and a much stronger mill demand for home grown cotton has been the results. Some mills now express a preference for North Carolina cotton." During the past six years, the Bureau of Agricultural Economics of the United States Department of Agriculture has been cooperat ing with the North Carolina Agri cultural Experiment Station in se curing information on the grade and staple length of cotton grown in the State. Both these studies and commun ity surveys show a definite im provement in the staple length of the cotton produced in each of the important cotton counties in the State between 1928 and 1932. When reports for the last two years are compared, however, it is seen that in most counties there was a de crease in the percentages of the better staple in 1933 as compared with 1932. Competitive figures from one community in Wake County show the following: In 1932, .4 per cent of the cotton measured less than 7-8, 32.0 per cent 7-8, and 67.6 per cent 15-16 or longer. In 1933 these per centages were 1.4, 52.6 and 42.4 for the same staple lengths, respec tively. In other words there was a decrease of 25.2 per cent in cot ton stapling 15-16 inch or longer and a corresponding increase in the 7-8 inch and shorter cottons. "Probably more than one factor contributed to this change," Mr. Kime says, "but all available evi dence has shown that the seed used is the biggest factor. Cotton has been so cheap and money so scarce during the past two or three years that there has been very little re newal of planting seed, and the supply on most farms has dcterio lated. "With only 60 per cent of our normal acreage in cotton it 1-; highly important that definite steps be taken to standardize on varieties that produce 15-16 inch or better staple. There is not a sufficient supply of reliable seed available to do this at once, but by planning now the necessary supply can be provided in 1935 er 1936. "To provide for such a supply it is suggested that at least one per cent of the county's cotton acre age be planted with registered or pedigreed seed of an approved va riety and that the seed produced be certified. This would supply certified seed for 10 to 15 per cent of the acreage the second year and sufficient seed one year from cer tified source for the entire county the third year." Those communities interested can secure information on variety tests and sources of seed from the Agronomy Department at State College. CLUBS CELEBRATE 25TH ANNIVERSARY The twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of 4-H Club work is being celebrated this year in North Carolina. Club leaders are moulding their anniversary program to fit the national recovery program and make the 25th year of club work be a demonstration of its value to farm boys and girls, said L. R. Harrill, club leader at State Col lege. The teaching of thrift and an appreciation of the everyday things of life, instruction and practice in the growing of animals, the keep ing of accurate records on the work done, and a training in lead ership and citizenship are among the principal features of the club work. Great emphasis is laid on the value of maintaining one's health and taking care of the body by proper diets and other health habits. The recreational side of life is also recognized as an im portant factor i n making rural boys and girls happier. The first club in North Carolina was organized in Hertford County in 1909 by Dean I. O. Schaub, who was at that time State leader of club work. The club, with about a dozen members, was known as the Boys' Corn Club. There are 30,000 active members in North Carolina and close to 1,- 000,000 in the United States, said Mr. Harrill. Twenty-five years have brough!: many changes in club work, but always these changes have been to better help solve the problems confronting agriculture and home making. From the original idea of grow ing corn, the club movement has reached out to take in practically every phase of rural life through the teaching of better farm and home practices by the demonstra tion method. TURN UNDER LEGUMES TO IN CREASE CORN YIELD Profitable corn yields cannot be obtained from most North Carolina soils unless legumes are grown during the winter or early spring and plowed under to increase the organic matter in the fields, says Dr. H. B. Mann, associate agrono mist at the North Carolina experi ment station. Soils low in organic matter not only fail to provide the corn with sufficient plant food, but also fail to hold enough moisture to keep ANSWER TO THIS WEEK'S CROSS WORD PUZZLE Solution of Puzzle No. 56.

Because a building and loan association promotes home ownership, there is an impression that people save here solely as a means of acquiring a home | Many of our patrons have long ago paid for their homes on our plan and now save with us because they like our savings plans—many for other purposes, such as a fund to educate their children. You can save here for the things you want most—WHY not start today? S ROCKY MOUNT HOMESTEAD and LOAN ASSOCIATION Phone 160 "At Five Points" R. R. Gay, President the corn thriving during dry sum mers. Due to the low corn yields in many parts of the State, farmers are being forced to depend more and more upon oats, rye, wheat and other such crops to supply their grain needs. When soybeans are picked for seed and the rest of the plant turned under, the corn crops will increase materially even though no fertilizer is used. Soybeans har vested for hay help the soil some, but not so much as when the crop is plowed under. Application of a complete ferti lizer containing nitrogen, phos phate, and potash after soybeans have been turned under will prac tically double the corn yield, and will triple the yield over that on land where the soybeans have been harvested for hay. When legumes are harvested for hay the potash content of the soH diminishes rapidly, unless replen ished by heavy applications, and the leaf tips and edges of the corn turn brown and dry up and the roots rot prematurely. The yield of corn also decreases. Nitrogen is probably the most important plant food element in corn production. Omitting nitro gen in fertilizer greatly reduces the yield even when part of the legumes are turned under. PRIZES OFFERED FOR BEST FARM RECORDS Prizes valued at $6,200 have been offered to 4-H club members by the International Harvester Company for the best farm account ' records kept th'is year, L. R. Har | rill, 4-H club leader at State Col ! lege, announced today. The records must start not later ! than March 1, 1934, and continue through February 1, 1935. Any 1 type of record book may be used, but the following information must be included: (a) A complete inventory of all farm possessions at the beginning and at the end of the period. (b) A record of the money re ceived and paid out during the year in operating the farm, and what the receipts and expenditures were for. (c) A record .of working time put in and expenses incurred in producing each principal farm crop or other product (approxi mate figures will do.) (d) A balance sheet showing how much money the farm made or lost during tHe year. The record must be in the con testants own handwriting and must cover his home farm or one adjacent to his home. The record must also be accompanied by a story of not more than 500 words on the value of keeping farm rec ords. The winner will be selected on the following points: Complete ness, 50; accuracy, 25; story, 15; and neatness, 10. Club boys and girls interested in the contest have been advised to communicate with their farm or home demonstration agent or L. H. Harrill, State College Station, Raleigh, N. C., immediately, since the final date for entering is March 1 of this year. For Highest Cash Prices Sell Your Hides TO N. C. HIDE And FUR CO. 620 SOUTH WASHINGTON ST. ROCKY MOUNT, N. C. DENTAL CLINIC IN SCHOOL PLANNED Dr. Marcus SnAh to Spend Ten Weeks of Rocky Mount Dr. Marcus R. Smith, state health department dentist, is spending ten weeks here conduct ing a clinic in loc.al school?, start ing Monday, Dr. Roy Norton, city health officer has announced. Dr. Smith conducted a similar clinic here last winter and was highly praised for his work in edu cating children concerning care of the mouth and proper diet. Dr. Norton explained that the purpose of the clinic is educational rather than correctional, although some corrections in mouth and teeth deficiencies are made in order to illustrate points in the educational program. In instances where corrections are made, children who could not otherwise afford to have them .are chosen for the free • work. , Dr. Smith is paid partly from city funds appropriated by the board of aldermen and partly by the state health department. THROUGH TRAFFIC BUSINESS GREATER More Pa. angers Are Using Atlantic Coast Line Trains This Year, Page Says Atlantic Coast Line through passenger traffic now practically doubles the figures for a year ago, Owen H. Page, assistant general superintendent of the Northern di vision, stated today. The Florida special trains are proving exceptionally popular this month, Mr. Page said. Three sec tions of No. 37, which travels from i Boston to Miami, passed through the city one night last week and indications were that four and possibly five sections would be handled later. The train passes through South Rocky Mount at 12:40 a. m. A total of 32 cars were handled and the superintendent indicated that there were 44 cars available with a probable demand for more. I 1 W. M.
