Cooperative marketing and the Tobacco Grower Cooperative Association, in particular, were given strong support in the legis lature of North Carolina when the House Committee on Agriculture from that body voted 23 to 11 last Friday against the Bra swell Bill to permit members of coope rative marketing associations to withdraw by filing notice. A farm woman, in old fashion ed bonnet aud black dress — Mrs. M. O. Wiustead, of Nash County made the most eloquent plea of the day for cooperative market ing, when she asked the author of the bill why he had introduced it, without the consent of a majori ty of association members in her county. Declaring that she might not know much about law or the ways oflegislators, Mrs. Winstead said: "But I know that I signed acontract and 1 IntVe too much tonor aud too much self respect ho get out of it. Representative II G. Couuor, of Wilson County, who has been an active figure in litigation against the tobacco association, argn*d for forty minutes in an attempt to prove that it was con stitutional for the legislature to authorize members of the associa tion in North Carolina to with draw from their contract upon request. , In reply to Representative Con nor, George Ross, head of the- Divisiou of Markets in North Carolina, declared that the bill, if passed, would seriously injure forty cooperative associations which tho farmers of the state had formed in order to improve their condition by orderly mar keting. Deliveries of tobacco to the as sociation have now brought its to tal receipts of this season to more tliau 100 million pounds, accord ing to the latest report. Within three years of operation the association has recieved more ihan 440 million pounds of to bacco. During this period the tobacco farmers of North Caro lina have received, according to govemient statistics, an average price of 24.7 ceuta as compared to an average price of 15.1 cents dur ing tho four years precediug the World War. At*no time since the association has tne price of tobacco in North Carolina averag ed as low as during any year prior to the war days. Ltmb Losses Due to Poor Feeding Lamb losses ,in this state are largely due to errors in feeding, and mostly the lack of appropri ate feed for the ewe before lamb ing for both the ewe aud lamb after lauibiug. "Ewe* that come through the winter iu poor (lesh can't raise a strong thrifty lamb. This is too evident to need data to verify it," says G. P. Williams, Sheep exten sion specialist for the State Col lege of Agriculture. "This con dition is proven beyond doubt by the fact that lamb 9 arriving after grass grow off promptly. Ewes that eke out the winter on h*y« . of the meanest kinds on cotton seed hulls or that graze thestark, veatherbeaten landscape can score no success at lambing time. ''Much of the lamb losses at tributed to cold weather is in fact due to a badly nourished and thin ewe and to a weak lamb that can't help being weak aud flimsy under such circumstances. The foundation of success with ewes at lambing time rests on proper feeding through the win ter coupled with outside exercise on range sufficient to keep the bodily processes strong aud vigorous.

N. C. C. W.'s Growth in 33 Yews. A comparison of the North Car olina college founded 33 years ago by Charles Duncan Mclver who waß.chiefly instrumental in secur ing ttie act of the general assem bly by which the college was to open its doors, with the institu tion as it exists today shows nat urally great changes in the phys ical makeup of the school. The school which Dr. Mclver caused to open its doors in Oc tober, 1892, began its work with two buildings, 15 faculty members, and an appropriation of SIO,OOO for maintenance. Now, after the institution has had an oppuuity to try out and enlarge upon the ideals fostered by its founder, it finds itself a college suported last year by au appropriation of $350,000, with a resident student body during the regular term of 1624. Faculty members to the number of 172 administer to the mental needs of the young women of the state. The college now has 110 acres in its campus west of the busiuess section of Greensboro aud 250 acres of farm land near Guilford college. On the campus are 36 buildings, six of which have re cently been completed or are now being finished. The farm prop erty is equipped with a modern dairy barn aud furnishidgs, from which sanitary dairy products are brought for the consumption of the jiatrons of the college. The total valuation of the insti tution today is in the neighbor hood of $4,150,000. The buildings which have re cently been completed are as fol lows: Two dormitories, which now house 244 girls; a new dining room and pavillion, which has a capacity of 500; a physical educa tion building, made to take care of the needs of students iu the most modern and scientific ways; and a heating plant, which fur nishes steam to every building on the campus where heat is needed. Still uuder construction is the music building, a three-«*tory-aud basement structure. This new building will be completed abd ready for occupancy within a few weeks. The College turned away from its doors last year 320 young women because it had no place for them. No doubt there will be in tho near future more and more constant demands upon the part of students from high school who want to get the advantages the iuHtitution'oflfers. Demand For Ewes Hard to Fill Good ewes lor breeding pur poses »re hard to buy iu North Carolina. A number of buyers from surrounding states have beeu here looking lor such animals but have beeu unable to secure all that they need. G. P. Williams, sheep exteijsiou specialist for the State College of Agriculture, states that this con dition also exists tn other sections, lie reports the incideutof a farm er from the East who went to the Chicago stockyards recently to buy a number of western ewes. This man fouud that such an animal could not l>e had. "I never saw the time before that I couldn't come to the yards and buy a carload of ewes," said this farmer. "What's the matter, anyhow?" The reason as given by Mr. Williams is that the growers are holding their ewes out West to make money for the owners. "Sheep," says Mr. Williams, "is the best crop on the western range today and the same is true iu the eastern states. It is now well kuown that wool is a fabric which cannot be counterfeited or substituted. A worn-out dairy cow may disport herself as beef, but lamb is alwajs lamb and de fies all substitutions and all usurpers." Mr. Williams believes that will continue to grow in valu6 aud popularity in North Carolina and he finds many judi cations which lead him to believe that the farmers of the State are becoiniug more interested each year in this form of livestock. Club boys and girls in Catawba County shipped twenty birds to F. J. CermiCAn of Tampa, Florida, to be used for exhibition purposes. These birds will be shown iu Fla. and Cuba.

TEZ ALAMANOe QLZAKEK, QKABAM, M. a DATES SET FOR STATE FAIR Time Chosen Is Week Of October 18th, 1925. Those who contemplate enter ing exhibits at the various fail* to be held in North.Carolina this fall need to keep in mind that pluns for growing most of the ex hibit mateiial should be made this spring, say. agricultural workers of the State College ex tension service. Making exhibits at fairs at fairs gives both adver tising value and cash returns. The State Fair alone distributed $ 10,191.75 in premium money to residents of seventy-five counties last year. The management of the State Fair reports that the dates have already been set for thin year. The week of October 12 has been determined upon since this week follows immediately after the Virginia State Fair and comes immediately before the the South Carolina State Fair. The North Carolina State Fair this year will be more of a padlic institution than ever before according to the reorganization plain- recently an nounced by the Fair management. The State College of Agriculture, the State Department of Agricul ture and the Executive Depart ment ol the State government will share with the old Agricul tural Societp in the management of the Fair in. the future. In the distribution of premium money last year, Wake County led bp receiving $1,988; Catawba came second with $840.50; Bun combe was third with $762; and Craven fourth with $651.50. Same of the other caunties whose citizens won liberal amounts of the premium money were Ala mance, Forsyth, Guilord, Ruth erford, Wilkes and Wayne. The smallest amount won by any county went to Bertie wheae only oue dollar was distributed. According to E. V. Walborn, manager of the State Fair, the records show that the fair is truly a state-wide institution when seventy-five of the one hun dred counties shared iu the prem ium money, and exibits from other counties were also entered but received no share of these funds. - Co unties Are Enrolling In Garden Contest. Twejve counties have enrolled iu the competition for the first prize SIOO offered to the county council of club women which re cords greatest success in the home garden contest conducted this year by the horticultural and home demonstration workers of lite State Colleite extension division. The eonifst opened Feburary 1 and enrollment will c'.ose on March 1. One reason why more farmers do not have a good home garden i* that the average man growiug eoltou and tobacco thinks he does not have the time to plant and cultivate vegetables. "This argu ment is being refuted," says Gleun O. Randal, extension hor ticulturist for the State College of Agriculture, "by other farmers who (ind that there is both health and profit in a good year-round garden. These growers find that when the garden is planted in long rows, wide enough apart, it may be "cultivated with horse labor. In this way, not much time is taken to k«*ep the garden clean. They find, also, that one half acre devoted to a garden IIHS a money to two and a half acres of cotton, eveu where the average yield is one bale of cottou to the acre. These values have been estabished by actual experiments. "The money value of the home gardeu is of secondary importance however, when compared with its value in maintaining the health of the family. It ia now well known that mii.eralsand vitamtnes are found in vegetables, especially the leafy kinds These food con stituents are necessary to the health and development of the human !>ody. The home garden, I therefore, helps to keep the doc tor away. We are hoping that before March 1, several thousand other people will have enrolled in the State-wide garden contests." Those counties enrolled to date are Mash, Vance, Johnston, Ca barrus, Mecklenburg, Halifax, Alamance, Franklin, Lee, Stanly, Rowan and Pasquotank. A survey of nearly four thou sand farms in four states shows thst three-fourths of the farmers hsve adopted improved agricul tural parctiees ss a result of agri cultural extension work, accord ing to figures reoently released by the United States Department of Agrlealture. HOME DEMONSTRATION CORNER By Miss Edna Rciohardt, County Home Demonstration Ajent, There will be no meeting held by the Home Agent daring the finit week in March, as there will meetings of agents in Charlotte and Winston during that week. Beginning the second week in March biscuit-making demon strations will bt- held in the litiy one white schools in the county. Each girl in school will be urged to enter a biscuit contest. The winner in each school will then compete in a county contest. The County Couucil wants to kuow if the women of the county want to have another home im provement contest. If you are interested in this work, let the Home Agent or some member of the Council know it. Eleven steam Cookers pressure havejust been ordered by the pro gressive housewives of Alamance couuty.

The garments wer« those of a widow, a very Parisian, smart little widow to be sure, but LUa, to her friend's knowledge, had 'never been married. "Got an Idea. Ever have one?" laughed LUa. "I didn't have any vacation last year so I've got a whole month this year. And if all goes weU I'm never coming back to this moth balled old town where I've lived all my life. I'm going to get a transfer." "Oh, a Job in California?" smUed Rose. "No, unless you call a husband a Job," confessed Llla. "Look here, Rose, we Just go around and round in the same circle. If we do meet any body worth while from outside, we don't get a second look. Oh, we're young enough and pretty enough 1" "Thanks!" "Keep the tip} Who does get the to-be-contlnued looks? The young widow, of course. Unknown, mys terious, camouflaged widow 1 Look at that little Mrs. Andrews, and Mrs. Harlowe, with the baby face and the full-grown past!" Rose caught the Idea. "Yes, and that flashy little lavender widow from New Orleans last winter. Remem ber?" "Certainly. I didn't play the part of that cllnglng-vlne young Widow Pellew In 'Wedding Belles' for the Shrlners last month for nothing." Rose recalled her roommate's dainty figure enhanced by misty floating Tells and crisp black frills. "You were the hit of the whole show," she acknowl edged. "I always could wear black," Llla ■aid, «lancinp In the mirror at the delicate inky line of lier brows. "Rose,, every man's a sob artist at heart," Llla went on. "A helpless lit tle widow, heart-broken, lonesome, reaching out for something—" "Someone," corrected Rose. "Gets their Immediate attention," continued Llla. "She's a contrast from all this athletic, trouser-wearlng, hey-glve-me-a-llght stuff that most young girls pull nowdays." "All millionaires In favor of young widows say 'aye,'" Rose sang out. "Ah, the eyes have It I" ."Nobody knows me at the San Cle mente," said Llla, "and widows don't need expensive chaperons. I've saved money to last a month. Rose, I'm as desperate as Jesse James. I won't fall I" "Llla," Rose said, "I hear millions paging you!" And so did Llla herself when she sped away on the Sonny California Limited the next day—millions of doubts I Mrs. Amboy-Meredlth, the apparent ly wealthy society matron with the bourgeois habit of Introducing clever people to smart people, in reality a paid chaperon hired by the shrewd San Clemente management, made a mental note as the stylish and lovely Mrs. Llla PelJew-Pltt registered, tak ing a modest but pleasantly situated single-room suite. Llla was lovely, she was mysterious and she had a shy smile. Half of her vacation fled by on gilded wings and Llla more than real ised her ambition to maet new and eligible man. Sha gathered proposals as other women gathered sea shells, and yet she considered her plan had failed. And then gay handsome headstrong Dick Brenden appeared and Llla real ised how little money can count for. Not that Dick didn't have any. Ha had enough, but LUa knew she would have loved him had be been a bell hop. Two more weeks. Then a certain night upon the beach, a golden moon gilding the sands, distant music, whis pering waters and the magical music of poundlnf palses and leaping hearts, the magic that depend* upon neither moonlight nor magic nor the glamour of gold, the magto of yoath and love. "J—l can't marry yon, Dick," Llla heard herself saying very low. "I I've deceived yon. I'm not what 1 pre tended to be, a Wide**." Richard grew visibly pale and gulped. "You—yon mean yoinre you're married?" he asked. "No, no," cried 141*.. Tm only—" "I don't car* who you are or what you are. I lore you," Dick said. "I'm only a typist," Lila sashed to explain.
