Nearly every high school in the
county will have participants, and
the patrons of the .school will natu
rally pull for their school. It is
expected that a big crowd wHl be
on hand that day, although this is
the first event.of the kind to be
staged here.
Last year a similar conte.st was
helci in Sampson county, and the
Sampson county winner was the
participant in the national^contest
at Raton Rouge, and came very near
winning the national prize. -Who
kno'ws but what .some .son or daugh
ter of Harnett county will be the
successful contestant this year? A
number of students are now work
ing! on their essays, and the county,
contest will be a lively one. The
subject Is "Cooperallve Organizing”'
Standardizing and Merchandising.’’
Schools operating for only six
months term began to close last
Friday when about fifty per cent of
the short termers wound up the
19'28-'29 session, and Friday ol this
week wl'll find the balance ol them
closing. Only one or two exceptions
are noted in the closings, these be
ing late openers last fall.
The ten high schools, namely, at
.'L'i'lllngton, Dunn, -Bunnlevel, Ander
son 'Creek, Benhaven, Boone (Trail.
Lafayette, Angler, Coat-s and Erwin,
will close during May. As a rule,
the six months schools open a short,
while after the high school (or 8
months terms), open.
Dunn operates for nine months,
being the only school in the county
with a term of that length. Bunn-,
level high* school carries Its students
through the tenth grade only, and
Anderson 'Creek does the same. At
Boone Trail school the term is siz^
inonlhs for the elementary grades
aad eight months for the hlglji
school About one hundred of the
elementary students are still going
to school to teachers who volunteer
ed to instruct them on subscription.'
Parents of the students who are
continuing in school have agreed to
personally pay the expense.
'Funds’ for the payment of salaries
of teachers in the six months schools
have run out, according to Superin
tendent Gentry, and teachers are be
ing aPowed to leave the county and
return to their homes without get
ting their pay. ,He hopes to have
funds in hand to settle these obliga
tions BO no, however.
In the case of the high schools
(or eight months terms) there ir
sufficient money in hand to pay sal
aries because there is an extra tax
Iqfy li'i these districts which fur
nishes more funds.

they are, you should read this care

Raleigh, April 24,—.4.n average
of more than one game'^flsh for ev

Carolina or a total of approximately
four and one-quarter million em
bryo-, “bites” will be released In the
fishing waters this year from the

ment of Conservatiofr aM Develtfp->
relson, director, anA J. S. Hargett,

The estimated output of four and
one-quarter million game fish from
the hatcheries, accoi^ng to the offi
cials, will be approximately one-
third greater than the banner year,
13’28, when a little more than three
mlllk>a fry and fingerllngs were
stocked in North Carolina fl8blng
waters. In 1827, the total output of
the hatcheries was. one and three-
quarter million.
Director Harrelson and (Assistant
Director Hargarett expresesd a be
lief t'hat stocking of streams and
other waters this ydar, in addition
to being on « ' scale, will be
tife most effeetTve' yet experienced
since a large number will be ralsec)
to a fingerllng size than heretofore.
Hatching capacltls at all of the
cultural stations,- they' reported,
have been extended and facilities for
rearing the baby Iry have been en
larged. Then announced that the

sportsmen’s organizations, Imb . set
as an objectlv'e the rearvig of every

will be made to popularize the in

nounces 'Dr. B. F, Kaupp, head of
the poultry department at State Col
lege.
•Dr. 'Kaupp says that the value cf
poultry and eggs In the United;
States has now reached the point of
one billion and a quarter dollars
each year and that the poultry in
dustry is the fifth most important
industry In the country. It fur
ntshes a real business to millions o
American farmers, but despite the
great aidvances made, the use of
eggs in the diet has been hand!
capped in recent years through the
intensive and widespread advertis
Ing of competitive food products.
'During National Egg Week, poul
trymen and college workers will en
dearor to popularize the use of
more eggs in the (diet according to

By doing so, help will be given to

beginning May 13, when the first
state-wide industrial expbsition will
bo held at the state fair grounds un
der auspices of the North Cp.r.)lina

Indications now are that the ex
position will be a success, as many
of the leading manufacturers of the
State have contracted tor space, in
the exposition buildings In order
that they may display, their N-orth
Carolina-made products, according
to T. B. Smith, secretary-manager of
the exposition.
The manufacturers have respond'

Mr. (Smith said. In a L . .
some three thousand man.. .
In the State, Governor Gardner ask

the exposition in order that the pc«>
pie of. the State might have an oi*-
portunlty of seeing Just how much
progress the State has made along
industrial lines during the past sev j
eral years'.
The only distinction between the
forthcoming State Industrial Exposi
tion and the State Fair, which Is
held in October, Is that the Indus
trial Exposition will attempt tc|
show what the State Is doing Indus
trially, while the State Fair mirrors
the State's progress along agricul

said, the Industrial Elxpositiou will
be a “summer time Slate Pair.”
There will be plenty of entetraln-/
