LONG NOT HURT SERIOUSLY Reports from the hospital to night indicate Corporal J. C. Long of the Highway Patrol was not se riously hurt in a wreck which oc curred early today between here and Halifax when his patrol cat | and a truck collided. I Corporal Long's car was com i pletely wrecked and the front ox | the new truck was smashed while i the driver of the truck was un hurt. Services At The Baptist Church The pastor’s subject for the morning hour will be: “SIMON OF CYRENE AND HIS GOLDEN LOAD, OR THE UNEXPECTED BLOW.” His subject for the ev ening hour at 7:30 o’clock will be: “WHEN A MAN GOES AWAY SORROWFUL.” Dr. Moorehead once told of bringing a dissected map of the United States home with him from one of his journeys and giving it to his little daughters to play with. “See if you can put it to gether, children,’’ was his laugh ing suggestion as it tossed it in a confused heap on the floor. It chanced that the two children of six and eight years, knew nothing whatever of geography and they were soon discouraged with their efforts. But this happened to be an advertising map and the enter prusing individual who put it out had caused his own picture to be placed on the reverse side. As the younger child was giving up and was starting to run away, the old er called, “Come back , sister; there’s a man in it.” And with this new key to the puzzle the children soon called their father and trium phantly showed him the map per fectly constructed. The Bible is like that little map -V“There’s a Man in it.” His pres-| once is felt very early in the nar rative and later on He dominates it as the Matterhorn dominates the landscape. When we make Him the key the mysteries of knowledge are unveiled and we have found the secret of successful Bible stu dy. It should be our practice to ex pect, at every earnest look into Scripture, to see the giory of the Lord mirrored there. Such exper iences, frequently repeated, are steps to the transformed life.” By the Raster. CHRISTMAS PAGEANT AT GRACE EPISCOPAL.— CHURCH ..

Officers for the ensuing year wili also be elected at this time. AAA Committees To OK Practices An important announcement to farmers by E. Y. Floyd, AAA exe cutive officer of N. C. State Col lege, points out that “several of the soil building practices under the 1941 Agricultural Conservation Program require prior approval by the County AAA committee before credit will be given.” “These include a number of practices which farmers will be carrying out mostly during the next few months,” Floyd stated. “Among these are: Contour strip cropping, forest stand improvement apple tree removal and fruit or nut tree planting on contour.” Before credit can be given for such practices, the AAA leader said, the prior approval of the county AAA committee must be obtained in writing, with one copy going to the producer and one copy filled in the compliance enve lope for the farm. The written ap proval will include instructions for carrying out the practice in accord ance with the Triple-A regulatons. AAA supervisors or representa tives of the county committee will determine whether the practice has been carried out in accordance with the instructions and specifi cations. The county committee may elect to have the county agent, as sistant agent, or a vocational tea cher to act as the committee’s rep resentative. Floyd also called attention to the terracing specifications under the 1941 program. In all cases where the terraces are not constructed by a county terracing unit, the producer will be required to pres ent evidence that the terraces have been built according to standard requirements, have been laid out by either a representative of the Extension Service, a rpresentative of the Soil Conservation Service, or a vocational teacher.

Halifax County’s Cotton Allotment Is Announced Farmers of Halifax County have been allotted 38,819.9 acres on which to prow cotton in 1941. This compares with the county’s 1940 cotton acreage allotment of 39, 248.0 acres. In ann mneing the 1941 cotton allotmer t, E. Y. Floyd, AAA exe cutive officer of N. C. State Col lege, said that the variation in the allotments for the two years is due to a correction of data on the a creage planted to cotton in the county in prior years; this data being the basis for determining county and individual farm allot ments. The county allotments are ap portioned by the Secretary of Ag riculture from the State allotment, which for 1941 is 975,284.2 acres. The 1940 North Carolina cotton allotment was 979,543.7 acres. In addition to the State allotment for next year of 975,284.2 acres, there is available 7,555 acres for new growers. This compares with 10,017 acres made available for new gro wers in addition to the 1940 State allotment. Individual allotments to growers are approximately the same for 1941 as they were in 1940. All growers have already received a notice of their farm acreage allot ment for next year. Floyd explained that differences in 1941 and 1940 allotments can be attributed to: (1) Tha variation in the county allotment; or (2) a change in the amount of cultivated land in the county, since the a mount of crop land on an individual farm is a determining factor in es tablishing allotments for farms with allotments of five acres or more. Floyd further explained that a afrmer’s allotment may vary even though his crop land was the same as used in determining his 1940 al lotment. This is due he said, to a change in the “county factor" which was determined on the basis of the cultivated land in the coun ty. PROFITABLE Recently completed records show that during the past 12 months the average net income of 12 Che ■ rokee County demonstration poul try flocks was $468.88 per flock, reports Farm Agent A. Q. Ket ner.
