This, I apologize for:
I’m shore glad customs change.
In the old days when a fellow
came down with a spell of sick
ness, it was a standing invita
tion for 'the ladies of the com
munity to barge in, and settle
themselves, in the sick room,
around the bed. There they’d
sit and rock and .gossip and knit
and dip Three Thistles Sweet or
Rooster or Railroad Mills. The
poor sick man was usually driv
en frantic, and if he got well at
all, it was in spite of and not
because of, all this kindly soli
citation. Because the joker in
the deck was that the ladies
really thought they were angels
of mercy. For they did give the
poor sick man an occasional
drink of water. Me—l’ve just
had a spell of sickness —and

I am writing this from a hos

things from a more realistic
viewpoint. The above printed
item was entirely selfish, with

indictment of all my friends and
others who have come to my
help. For that bit of irrespon

Well, this is my first experi
ence in a hospital. Everything
is so strange, I haven’t formed
much of an overall opinion. But
I have learned one lesson: I
thought I was an awful sick boy,
but the fellow sharing my room,
Marvin Owen Tyson of Roper,
had a shattered leg, and an in
jured head, caused by a falling
tree. It was very hard, after
seeing him, to feel sorry for my

N. C. Peanut Farmer
Quadruples His Yield
When a farmer quadruples his
yield-per-acre on a crop —no
matter what it is—other farmers
all over the state sit up and
take notice.
Take a look at the record of
Eugene Moore, who farms on
Route 4, Ahoskie:
In 1959, Moore’s peanut yield
was 537 pounds per acre. In
i 960, it was 2,286 pounds per
acre.
Henry Revell, Jr., Negro as
sistant agent in Hertford County
tells how Moore did it:
“After his yield dropped stead
ily from 1,663 pounds per acre
in 1957 to 537 pounds in 1959,
Moore knew something had to
be done.
“His first step was to get a
soil test —he could never recall
the land being limed. The test
showed a pH of 4.9, indicating
a serious need for liming. It
also showed the field was very
high in phosphorus, but low in
potash.
“Early in February of last
year, he broadcast 1,500 pounds
