P Moore, head cf. the Xorth Carolina Crop Improve- mont Association. Horotoi'orc, Dr. Moore e.xplainod, I'armors liavo been wary of growing popcorn because tlie crop would cross pollinato with field corn and thus ruin field corn seed for the fol lowing year. However, hybrid corn, which is now being widely msed in North Carolina, is produced from new seed each year, and it 1.h therefore unnecessary to protect either the hy brid field corn or the .popcorn from pollen of tl»o other typo. Furthermore, Dr. Moore said, con- traiy to popular ibcllof the pollen from field corn does not change the popping cliaractoristic of the popcorn lnrlng the year tltat cross-fertiliza tion occurs. Popcorn can be produced simply by NEED GLASSES? COME to DUNN for EYE EXAMINATIONS and ALL Optical Shop Service! If you break a lens, we can duplicate it. SAVE the pieces! H. M. SMITH Optician Dunn & S. Pines, N. C. planting two or throe sections of rows in a field of hybrid corn, Dr. Moore said. Farmers who have recog nized the superior merits of adapted hybrids of both field corn and sweet corn will want to use a hybrid pop corn. Purdue 31 and- 38 have been found to out-yioid and out-pop the old South American variety. Dr. Moore advised farmers not to produce popcorn for sale unless ar rangements for handling the crap, iiavo already been made.

Increase Needed In Bee Numbers North Carolina beekeepers need to increase the number of bees per col ony if they are to bring honey pro- d'uction up to the level desired, says W. A. Stephen, beekeeper for the State College Extension Service. “Maybe we hove enough colonies, blit certainly wo haven’t enough bees,’’ Mr. Stephen said. .“If we sin cerely look for bettor things in api culture we will look towards increas ed colony production. We know how to produce .10' times as much honey from each colony as we are now pro ducing.’’ The number of bee colonies in the State has declined from about 260,- 000 at the beginning of the century to about 173,000 today, tho Exten sion worker stated. Not only that, he continued, but production per colony is not what it should be. In 1859, the specialist said honey production in North Carolina aver aged 10 pounds per colony. In 1915 the average was 42 pounds, highest on record. In 19.47, gonorally consid ered a good year, the average was only '3i6 pounds. This figure, Mr. Stephen said, could be Increased very easily by putting more bees in each colony. Information on increasing bee col ony populations and other phases of beekeeping may be obtained fi-om any county agent or from Mr. Ste- plien at State College.

Generally speak ing, the life of posts can be greatly lengthened. However, not all kinds of wood are equally responsive to the treatment. Air-dried, round posts can bo most effectively treated.

There are right and wrong ways of doing even such a simple houae- hoki job as putting clothes through the wringer of the washing machine, says home economists. Careless wringing can damage both clothes and machine.' Rules for Wringing; Fold clothes smoothly so that the thickness is evenly diatrlbuted across the roll. Don’t run clothes through in a lump —it is hard on both clothes and wringer. Let the machine wring at its own pace. Never try to rush the Job by pulling or forcing pieces through. Largo buttons or buckles should not go through the wringer. They are iil;el.,' to break, bend, tear off or damage the rubber on the rolls. Fold small 'mutoiis or other fastening un der a la.ver of the fabric before wringing so that they do not come in direct contact with the rolls. Oth erwise, they may scrape the rubber or be torn off. Belts, sashes or other small strips of clothing also should be folded under so that they do not catch in the rolls. Sometimes small articles like handkerchiefs stick to one roll and are turned over and over. To avoid this, fold them inside a towel or oth er large piece before wringing. As soon as the laundry is finished, release the pressure on the wringer so that the rolls separate. If they are left pressed together, flat places'^'form on the rolls which make for incom- 'Plete wringing. Wipe rolls dry before leaving the machine, or wash and dry them if they are stained by colored clothes. Improvised light for closets: The provision of flashlight hung just in side the door lu an ^unlighted clothes closet will discourage the use of matches when hunting for a lost glove, overshoe, or cap.

S. Army are eligiible to select training In one of the Army’s new Potential Lead er’s'Schools before .they enlist, M. Sgt. Olin Dean said today. Four schools have been established' to train selected new recruits who show promise of real leadership, po tentialities. Some 6,000 potential leaders a year will graduate from the stiff courses at Fort Jackson, S. C., Fort Dix, N. J., Fort Knox. Ky., and Fort Ord, Calif. Men are selected for the schools, M'. Sgt.. Dean explained, on a basis of demonstrated capacity for leader ship. To be eligible, they must score over 90 in their Army General Classi fication Test''and pass strict tests as to character, alertness and physical fitness. Consideration for admission is given to high Bchool/,graduates who served as officers in junior 'R.O.T.C. units. Boy Scout leaders, captains or managers of school athletic teams, editors of school publications, class officers, members of national honor societies or leaders in various school, Y.M.C.A,, 4-H Club or church activi ties. “Once they have started the six- week courses," M. Sgt. Dean said, “the students learn to lead by lead ing groiups in classroom study, pa trol work and athletics. Subjects studied include leadership problems, psychology of leadership, training methods, public speaking, organization of instructor groups and how to conduct demonstrations.” Graduates are promoted at once to Private First Class, and are eligible for more rapid advancement than otherwise would be the case. In addition to the leadership .school opportunities, high school gra duates,' M. Sgt. Dean said, also are eligible to pick their own field of specialization in advance of enlist ment. If qualified and accepted, the graduates are assigned to a school teaching this specialty following completion of basic training.
