It now requires . ruiiiul four days to cure tobacco. It is Kolng to take some time to dfvoloit tliis process. This method of iiring will be done in an entirely i.ew-typo—and presumably air-tight --ham. Rut they say it can be done, ; nd o.\i;eriments on this rapid-curing ido.i aio now being considered. .\ It hough the methods will be de- '(■loiH'd for flue-cured loaf only, ; hey may be made applicable to alr- I mod tobacco. The, Idea does not '-et'in so far-fetched when you think ill tho time that used to be required :or tho preparation of beans, cab- h.ige, and moat for the table. Now witli tlio pressure cooker it is only . matter of minutes. • • * NOTKS.—,4 recent official test made liy tho Stale highway Commis sion allows that 5G per cent of tho hnasos chocked exceeded the speed iimif of .lO miles an hour . 24 per unit of all motorists checked went oior .">0 . , . the limit moves up to :.■) ,Iuly 1 . . .

Very little has been written about it in the papers, but their actions have boon one of tho chief topics of conversation in several offices! here. They didn’t know each other,- It de velops, but one would appear and then several days later tho .other . . . and nobody was able to!catch them. However, one of them was c'lught lod-handed last week. Ho related his several appearances, and! then .shocked those questioning him by saying he "couldn’t help it.” He has now' been given the choice of ibelug sent to prison or going to a ir.ental institution. A psychologist who was consulted said it may take years to cure him. * * * I.M THE NEWS,—Stacy Weaver of Statesville and his uncles, H. E. Stacy of Lumbortou and Chief Jus tice .W. P. Stacy '>1 the State Su preme Court, are In tho nows these 4 days. In the little town of Jonesvllle in Yadkin county In 1941, some of tho school patrons seemed to think tliut Principal Stuc'y was not big .enough for the job, or something.' So, he became superintendent of the Statesville City schools, erected new buildings, strengthened tho curricu lum, and generally gave the sagging sy.steni a shot in tho arm. I Ho received an invitation a few days ago to become superintendent of tho Durham City schools . . . the best-paying (tho State superintend ent only receives $6,500' per year) school job 111 North Carolina at $8,400. Statesville ,raised him to $7,000, but the Durham job offered ^ u fine chairenge to tho former, Jonesvllle principal and Ipld Ruther-' ford College professor and coach. I 'Too, he would be near his alma' mammy, Duke, and, would not have to travel so far each Saturday morn-| Ing to football games this fall. So took it. « * « STACY BROTHERS.—When Wall Ewing of Fayetteville, now under sentence of 18 to 20 years for man slaughter In the death of his wife, gets through ,wlth his trial In the State Supreme Court, ho will have full knowledge' of the working of the legal brains of the Stacy broth ers, H. E. will be defending him and Chief Walter P. will be on the bench. Tho case was scheduled for 'fuesday, May 13. and it may run on for a few days. You can see how the Stacy’s and the Weaver's are In the nows. Philip Weaver, brother of Durham’s Stacy, Is sapovlntondent otl the Southern I'inos crackerjack school setup, and Jim Weaver is director of athletics at Wake Poorest. These Weaver boys —there is another one at Elkin— are all smart, big-cUluiied, athletic fellows . . . sons of the late Dr. C. C, Weaver, Methodist loader in this Slate for two generations.

Conner, Jr, entomologist for the State College Extension service. This application should be repeated about every four days until the In festation has been checked. Cryolite j can also be .uaed as a control on this pesl.

G. ■■■ -■gj ;■ " PAQB SBVBN five birds, according to Prof. Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the Poultry, department at State College. It should also be borne in mind that an unbalanced diet, as far as miner-, als and vitamin D are concerned, may produce soft-ahelled eggs which will break easily. This leads to egg eating. Question; Is it wise to cull beef herds now? Answer: Leland I. Case, in charge of Animal Husbandry Extension at State College, says a recent outlook report from the Department of Ag-, viculture shows that top grade cattle prices will probably be lower soon, but prices of the lower grade ,,willl hold up probably until next fall.-The smart cattle man will cull his herd of poor Individuals and poor pro ducing cows while prices are good. These cull animals will' bring a good price on the market at this time if they are carrying a fair degree of flesh.'if they are not, they should be put in the feed lot for a short while until they will grade medium to low good befbre they are marketed.

Question: Can hawks be killed by feeding nux vomica to chickens? Answer:' Prof. Roy S. Dearstyne. head of the Poultry department .at State College says reports from the U.S.D.A. Indicate that there is little to -be gained by this method of ap proach and apparently the poultry- man who is ' loosing chickens to hawks will have to rely on the old "shot gun" method of control.
