Howell Elected Vice F^resident \t the recent annual meeting of the North Carolina Wildlife Federa tion. hold in .Asheville, Sidney G.

B, Coley. .Mr, Howell, who has been active Jin Wildlife Federation mattois, was first president of the Harnett Coun ty Club.

Urges Farmers To Cut Stalks I would like to urge tobacco grow- er.s to cut or disc tobacco stalk.^ as soon . as harvesting is completed, stated C. U, Ammons, County .Agent, here today. Tlie purpose of cutting stalks very largely is to eliminate breeding and feeding ground^ for the horn worm, which is one of the most destructive insect pests .jof the tobacco plant. The hornworm, If allowed to mature on the suckers and loaves left In the field, will hibernate In the soil and will emerge next spring us a moth, which will lay the hornworm eggs for other generations to come next summer: therefore gj'owe,rs can help themselves and also their neighbors a great deal by cooperating in de stroying all tobacco stutlks, suckers, etc., as soon as possible after bar- vesting is completed. One can measure |he cost of horn worm infestation la the labor and in secticides it takes to destroy these horn worms in growing tol)acco each and every summer. This is a problem that calls for cooperation on the part of all grow- cr.s as horiiwonns migrate from field to field and from farm to farm, par ticularly in the moth stage; there fore, 1 urge each and every grower to cooperate‘and participate in this endeavor. I BEHIND THE SCENES IN AMERICAN BUSINESS Farm Interests Fight Rise In Rail Rates George R. Ro.ss, marketing spe cialist with the State Department of ■Agricullnre, has returned from Chi cago where he attended a conference of producers and shippers protesting increased rates proposed by the rail roads for agricultural commodities. The railroads obtained a 20 per cent increase in general classifica tions rates and a less amount on agricultural commodities offecDve last January. They are asking now for another Increase in the South to the extent of 1.T per cen^ on fruits and vege tables, seven c6nts per 100 pounds on cotton and a like amount on to bacco. The Southern Commissioners of .Agrleultiire are taking an active part, in cooperation with various traffic associations, in preparing a strong defense against the proposed increases, Ross represented Agricul ture Commissioner W. Kerr Scott at the Chicago meeting. Johnny McCauley Dies From Injuries Johnny W. McCauley, ;{1, of Dan ville.

Mc Cauley, Jr., of Fuquay Springs. Funeral services were held at 4 p. m. Monday at Antlocli Baptist Church, Mainers, with Rev. R. E. Moore, pastor, and Rev. Walter Page of Fuquay Springs officiating. j (By Reynolds Knight) I With the cost of living at an all- I time high, there are already pre- I liininnry rumblings indicating a 1 third round of wage-price increases J which may invite another inflation ary spurt. It Is practically a foregone con clusion that most industries which, iniKst have continuity of production to fill huge backlogs of orders will yield to new union demands for wage lioosts, rather than risk costly strikes. Though most union contracts in basic duirablo goods industries do not permit re-opening of the wage question until the middle of next jeur, rank and file piessure based on the cosC-of-livlng argument is already in evidence here and there. 'I’ho chief safeguards against an other upward wage-price trend are the declining export volume and the gradual filling of domestic pipelines through lncrea.sed production. «, * • THINGS TO COME--Cosmetics inaiiufuctorers ai'o taking a leaf from the beverage s))irlts industry by designing plastic combination cups and measuring cups for exact measurement of foam bath and bath oil preparations . . .

MR. FARMER: Your cotton will soon be openings and you will be thinking about where you will have it ginned. When you think along this line we want you to keep the following facts in mind: Last year we installed at our plant in Lillington the most complete, the most modern and efficient gin outfit that we could buy. We bought it for the simple reason that our former outht was so old and worn out that we could not give our customers the real, ginning service that we wanted to give them. We are proud of our new outfit, and the work it does.' It is capable of turning out an average of about seven bales an hour, and doing it RIGHT. Your sample’ comes out smooth and clean, and is worth more on the market wherever you sell it. Your seed are weighed in the gin, and you * don’t have all the trouble of twisting and turning around in order to come hack to the office to weigh. Just get in line and in a short while your time will come for the best ginning service you ever had. Mr. B. F. Poythress, who has been with us nearly 25 years, will do Uie ginning, as he did last year. Mr. Poythress knows the ginning business thoroughly and will sec to it personally that your cotton is ginned to suit you. We will buy your cotton on the yard, and you don’t have to touch it. We guarantee to always pay the highest market price for the grade you have. \ We will buy your seed at the highest market price, and will keep a good stock of meal and hulls on hand for your convenience. We will haul your seed cotton to our gin at a fair charge for the hauling, BUT WE CANNOT AFFORD TO HAUL IT FREE. Bring us your first bale and see what a REAL gin will do. We know you will be sat isfied. Our ginning charge, of course, will be right in line with our competitors. Faimeis jPotton Oil Co. LhlLINGTON, N. C.
