Bulldogs To
Play Ducktown
The Murphy "Bulldogs" will '
meet the Ducklings at Ducktown

dc defeated the Ducklings here
19-0, but a much harder game is

There will probably be some
changes in the Murphy line-up.
due to the fact that three of the
first string have gone to join the
armed forces.
Faculty Praises
Cheerleaders
The new cheerleaders have
started their new season with aj
"bong*'. They are: Dorothy Plem
mons, chief: Clara Mae Townson,
Jean Mauney Townson, Harriet
Pulliam. and Claudia Odom.
The school is very proud of
these girls. They have had very
little practice, but have proven
themselves more than capable of
doing their job well.
Their new uniforms are yellow
and white. At both home games
they have backed the team excel
lently. and there is no doubt that
they will help bring the "Bull
dogs" ihrough to further victories.
Following are several comments
on the work of the girls:
Mrs. Houts: "An excellent
group of girls to work with? if the
students show one-third as much
interest and spirit as do the cheer
leaders. our teams are bound . to !
come out on top!"
Mr. Pitzer: "Spirit is fifty per ,
cent of a ball team. Without spirit 1
the best team in the world is a
failure. Spirit must come from
some source ? the players them
selves. the coaching staff, and
above all the student body. The
chet i leaders are the organizers,
the guiding light of the student
body They have a responsibility
far greater than eve" they realize.
I am proud to say that our cheer- i
It .id- vs are accepting more of th /.
responsibility as they go along.
Mr. Wright : "Murphy High
School's 1943 model cheerleaders
are among the best we have had
in the past ten years. Mrs. Houts
in doing a good job in training
these eirls. and deserves commcn
dation. I think our cheerleader:,
arc contributing a great deal to '
school spirit and morale."

ly like the original ones, but the
quality remains the same.

Place Orders Now
For '44 Nitrogen
Poach and apple growers should
be thinking now of their require
ments for nitrogen fertilizer in
1944. say Extension horticulturists
at State College. They advise plac
ing orders with fertilizer dealers
now for the amount growers esti
mate they will need next year.
There are only limited supplies
of nitrate of soda and cynamide
for use. and sulphate of ammonia
will not be available at all for
fruit growers next season. A con
siderable quantity of ammonium
nitrate, however, will be released
for direct application to orchard
trees.
With these fertilizer limita
tions. the horticulturists say it is
especially important that every
fruit grower use nitrogen fertiliz
ers in the most, efficient way.
They say. don't waste fertilizer by
using only one-half as much as
each tree needs. "Efficient use."
means applying enough to pro
i duce good growth, fruit set and
yield.
They also advise fruit growers
to consider fall applications. Ex
periments have shown that when
nitrogen is applied in the fall, the
roots take it up and store it in
parts of the tree where it be
comes available as the tree grows.
Also, the War Production Board
has allotted material for 80 per
cent more power sprays and parts
than in 1941 or 1942. But if grow
ers wait until spring to place their
orders for additional equipment. iC:
may be too late, so immediately
after harvest, the horticiiturists ;
say growers should look over their
sprayer outfit and place their or
des for needed parts with the
WPB.
