Unanimously Elected Head of Newly
Chartered Peanut Stabilisation
Organisation
Further honor was bestowed on
Chowan County last week when
word reached down town from Ra
leigh that R. C. Holland, local lawyer
and extensive farm owner and horae
and cattle breeder, had been chosen
as president of the newly chartered
state peanut stabilisation organisa
tion. Mr. Holland, who specialises on
his numerous farms in peanuts, cot
ton and tobacco, has long been a
prime mover in fostering the ideas
of the new bureau, and the award of
the presidency to him is in recogni
tion of his untiring efforts in behalf
of peanut growers.
The state meeting at State Farm
Bureau headquarters brought repre
sentatives from eight of the largest
peanut growing counties of North
Carolina, and Mr. Holland’s selection
was a unanimous one. B. D. Steven
son, of Pendleton, was named vice
president, and J. B. Fearing, of
Windsor, was chosen secretary-trea
surer.
A committee from the organization
was directed to present a full state
ment of its motives at a Farm Bur
eau mass meeting at Winston-Salem
on October 18, and in this connection (
the directors said “It is the sense of
the entire membership present that
it is desirable and necessary that
peanuts should be designated in pro
posed federal legislation.”

ADVANCE PLANS
AUGUR WELL FOR
GREAT STATE FAIR
Dr. J. S. Norton As Manager Has
Arranged for Wonderful Array
of Exhibits and Amusements
Details of one of the most ambi
tious State Fair programs ever at
tempted in North Carolina have been
outlined by Dr. J. S. Dorton, mana
ger. With the Fair back in the
hands of the State, after several
years of private management, Dr.
Dorton stressed the emphasis to be
placed on agricultural exhibits and
announced that premium books, now
on the presses, will be available
soon.
Numerous inquiries already indi
cate that the cream of North Caro
lina crops will be on display at the
October exposition to augment the
imposing line-up of fun features
which the State Fair will offer. In
addition, numerous State, Federal
and industrial exhibits will enchance
the educational value of the Fair.
Spectacular displays of fireworks
will cap each night’s performance.
Highlights of the week’s entertain
ment program will be the appearance
on Wednesday, October 13, of “Lucky
Teter and his Hell Drivers, that ag
gregation of motorized maniacs who
left North Carolina gasping after
their death-defying exhibitions last
year. Fresh from a triumphal tour
in Europe, Teter and his troups are
said to have added new thrills to
their “perfectly” reckless repertoire.
Exhibit buildings will open on the
first day of the Fair, Tuesday, Octo
ber, 12 at 10 A. M., and judging will
begin immediately in all departments.
Two horse races, presenting well
known drivers and steeds, will be
held in the afternoon, beginning at
2 o'clock, *. . . i„ "
Friday of State Fair week has been
set aside as Young North Carolinians
Day, and all school children in the
State will be admitted to the grounds
without charge. Dr. Dorton will is
sue 900,000 free tickets through
superintendents, with a special invi
tation to the youngsters from Gov
ernor Hoey. A special program for
children and a fireworks display will
be presented at 10 A. M., in the
grandstand arena. Another pro
gram of horse races will start at 2
P. M., after which school boys will
take part in a free-for-all “calf
scramble.”
AT ST. PAUL’S j
Rev. C. A. Ashby, Rector
Meeting of the vestry next Mon
day night at 8 o’clock. Members are
urged to attend.
Sunday School opens Sunday at 10.
Officers and teachers will piease be
present. Will all members look over
their duplex envelopes and see what
they owe are school. We wish to
pay for material for the session.
Service at 11 and at Gatesville at
BP. M. For the present Mr. Ashby
is going to Murfreesboro at the re
quest of Bishop Darst. There was
a large attendance for the communi
cant list there last Sunday. About
the first of the year the Bisliop will
place a man in the Murfreesboro,
Winton and Ahoskie field. They
will offer a fine work.
The furnace is being installed in
the church, so that we may expect
heat this winter. The old one was
beyond repair. You will be called
upon to (make your contribution to
this.
Tourists have flocked to St. Paul’s
in great numbers this summer, and
especially since the pageant has
been going at Fort Raleigh. We
have had the pleasure of showing
many over the yard and xeplainingj
the rich history of the old. parish,
the oldest Episcopal parish of the
State.
Bishop Darst will visit this parish
to confirm Sunday, October 31. We
would be glad to learn of those wish
ing to be confirmed when the Bishop
comes.

Timely Questions On
Farm Answered
4 ♦
Question: How can I cure my pul
lets of colds and a croupy condition?
Answer. As colds are usually
caused by poor ventilation, over
crowding, and a poor feeding sche
dule, ■ these conditions should be
carefully checked and the errors cor
rected. All birds showing symp
toms of colds such as a nasal dis
charge or foamy eyes should be iso
lated at once. The flock should be
given Epsom salts at the rate of one
half pound of salts to three gallons
of drinking water. Then the house
and utensils should be thoroughly
cleaned and disinfected. Where the
disease is well established it is not
economical to treat individuals and
these should be destroyed. Keep a
good germicide in the drinking water
as long as there is evidence of the
trouble.
Question: What is the best rate
Df seeding for vetch, crimson clover,
and Austrian winter peas?
Answer: Twenty pounds of seed to
the acre should be used for vetch
and from 20 to 30 pounds for Aus
trian winter peas. Both of these
crops should be covered about two
inches deep for best germination.
Either unhulled or cleaned crimson
clover seed may be used, but where
the unhulled seed are used the seed
ing should be 30 pounds to the acre as
compared with 20 to 25 pounds of the
cleaned seed. This crop should be
covered lightly with about half an
inch of soil. All the crops may be
seeded in the piedmont and the coas
tal plain areas anytime before Octo
ber 10 when soil conditions are favor
able.
Question. How much time should
elapse after a cow freshens before
she can be p.ut on full feed?
Answer: This depends upon the
physical condition of the cow, but as
a usual thing it requires about three
weeks after freshening before the
animal is on full feed. The first
day’s feed should consist of bran
mash. For the next four days the I
grain ration should consist of wheat
bran and ground oats in equal parts.
On the fifth day the cow may be
started on the regular milking ration
and gradually brought to full feed in
about three weeks.
