APRIL. 1, 1937 SCHOOLS TOGET RECORD AMOUNT Sharpest Issue in Assembly's Education Debates Was Local Tax Regulation A* much difference of opinion as ivoi any one issue arose during the tt'37 general assembly concerning the operation of North Carolina's biggest business?the txiucation of future citizens, the school children. And probably the sharpest point of cleavage was the issue of school supplements. As the school machinery bill is now -written, only those special charter districts established by legislative act will be able to vote extra taxes to raise their school standards from, the basic eightmonth term. Counties as a whole -nay vote a supplement, however. The legislature provided for the etght months state standard school term as follows: 1. The largest appropriation in the history of the state for schools >$24,390,000 for 1937-38 and $24,986.000 for 1938-39 2. A discretionary program of free basaJ textbooks, financed by a $1,500,000 bond issue if the school commission so decides, to all elementary school pupils. ?.

ARMY ENLISTMENTS I General George Van Horn Moselev I j commanding general, Fourth Corps | area, announces that while approxi' mately 4,500 southern boys have joined the army since last October, j there are still several openings for ?mmiifipd young men.

Cove Creek L Vocationa During the fiscal year 1935-36, 33 boys completed 64 projects, consisting: corn, 32 acres, potatoes 14 acres, tobacco 3 acres, beans, 2 acres, cabbage 1 acres, ewes 12 j head, brood sows 3 head. The total products marketed from the above projects are as follows: Corn, 1484 . bushels; potatoes, 1540 bushels; to- j , bacco, 3505 pounds. cabbage, 18,600 < pounds; beans, 4803 pounds; lambs, 1 19 head, wool, 58 pounds; pigs, 36. The total net profit from each of ] the aliove projects was as follows: 1 Corn, $829.51; potatoes, $790 96; tobacco, $550.22; cabbage, $296.38; \ beans, $105.12; ewes, $111.20; brood i sows, $129.00. Grand total, $2. < 850.27.

A new ruling in regard to the su- I. pervi.sed farm practice programs of j vocational agriculture students has IJ been put into effect this year, viz: , that each student must carry out his project plans if he expects to receive credit for his work in vocational agriculture. Several students in past years have planned rather ' large programs and completed only a. small part of them, consequently, ( all students who wish to receive credit for this work must carry thcir programs through to completion. In regard to the agricultural fair held last September at Cove Creek , high school, 253 companies and in uiviuutus xrom jii Uiuerenl states contributed to the premium list or ( carried advertising in the fair cata- , logue. The different states represented were: North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri. Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Colorado, Oregon* New York, Pennsylvania, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Connecticut. The total value of all premiums contributed by companies and individuals amounted to approximately 5650.00. Thus far this school year students have vaccinated about 100 head of sheep for hemorrhagic septicemia and 50 head of beef cattle for black leg, in addition to many other services rendered the farmers. Students : have docked and castrated several lambs so far and are planning to trim several more before the close of school. The students have not done very much farm shop work this year, largely because of lack of equipment, but by next year we hope to have a well equipped farm shop so uiat au classes may get some supervised instruction and practice in farm shop work.

HOG OUTLOOK IS GOOD FOR CAROLINA FARMER Better prices for hogs this summer are forecast by H. W. Taylor extension swine specialist at State College. Although large stocks of pork am lard are now in cold storage, he said the numbei of hogs being slaughtered is diminishing, while the deraanc is holding up well. Most of the nation's market hog! are produced in the western corr belt in the north central states. The supply of corn in the westeri corn belt is approximately 40 pel cent less than it was two years ago and the number of hogs There 01 January 1 was estimated at 14,525, 000 head, the lowest *n years. The 20,473.000 head of hogs in tin north centrai states is about thi same number produced in 1935, ac cording to a report from the fedcra 1 MAY! AGRICl LIME!
