It's been nearly twenty years since the youth of America an swered the "call to arms". Most of them are now past 40; not old, but time has left its imprint. If you see one of them stepping a little quicker, a little more erect, and with a pleased expression on his face, a guess that he has a 'Baby Bond" in his pocket won't be wide of the mark. In an effort to get some quick growing corn for Alamance farm ers, who were unable to plant on acconnt of early spring and sum ?er weather conditions, County Agent N". C. Shiver Eis written'to South Dakota for seed corn. It is claimed that corn from South Da kota, where the season is short compered with the season in this latitude, will matare here if not planted later than July 10th or 15th with a favorable season. If he succeeds in getting it it will be a boon to those who are short on their plantings. If Irish potataes planted about the same time make a crop of fall potatoes, there is every reason to believe that corn will do likewise under favorable conditions. It has been tried In a limited way with favor able results. PERSONAL Miss Betty Scott left thia morn ing for Norfolk to visit a school mate. Mr. and Mrs. R. A.

There has been no county court since the 13th of April, when the late J udge W. H. Carroll held his last Court, no one having been appointed to fill the vacancy caus ed by the death of Judge Carroll. On last Monday at an adjourn ed meeting the County Commis sioners elected Hon. Cooper A. Hall to fill the vacancy, and it is learned that the court will con vene aezt Monday with the new judge presiding. It is learned from the Clerk's office that there are as many as 125 cases now on the docket to be disposed of when the Court con venes. Home Should ba Wired Only by Competent Men Adequate, safe, and convenient wiring of the farm home is con sidered one of the most important aspects of the rural electrifica tion program. To be sure that the wiring is done properly, said Miss Pauline Qordon, extension specialist in home management at State Col lege, employ only contractors known to be reliable and compe tent. The contractor is responsible for doing the job so that the wir ing will be adequate and safe, but the home owner should de termine where switches, lights, convenient outlets, and branch circuits are to be located. Miss Gordon suggests that home owners draw floor plans of their houses and locate switches, out lets, and lights where they will be most convenient. Then go over this plan with the contractor. If the cost of wiring according to this plan is tdo high, the con tractor will assist the home own er in making adjustments. Above all elae, she warned, do not try to economize by using wire too small to carry the load that will be imposed upon it. In planning the wiring circuits, 44ghte, aud outlets, tako Into con sideration the uses to which elec tricity will b? put in each room. If a radio for example, is to be op erated, provide a convenient out let in the wall close to the place where the radio will be located. Do not plan only for the fix tures and appliances that will be used at first. Make adequate provision for various devices that may be obtained in the fntnre, Miss Qordon urged. Plenty of convenience outlets should be placed in the walls of the dining room, living room, and kitchen. A double convenience outlet placed in each wall of the | bedrooms will be a big help. Confederate Pension*; Semi Annual Payments. Clerk of Court E. H. Murray has received aDd is delivering Confederate pension vouchers this week. The number of old aoldiers has been reduced to three, John H. Eulias, J. S. Gibson and Alfred L. Newlin. These receive $365 per year. The payment is made in semi-annual installments. The "unpleasantness" between the North and the South ended on on the 9th of April, 1865, 71 years ago. These three veterans were young men then. There are ten Class A widows who receive 1300 per year, paid in two installments. Also tbere are 34 Class B widows who receive $100 per year, paid in two install ments. There were two colored pen sioners, servants who went through the war, namely, Will Liggins, Buck Parker, both of whom, by unusual coincidence, died on the 18th of Hay. HOLC Ends Activities; Saved 1,016,142 Homes. In accordance with the provi sions of the Home Owners Loan Act of 1933, the refunding of dis tress mortgagee of the HOLC end ed at midnight June 12, three years from the date the act was signed by President Roosevelt. No more loans will be made by the organization. Up to May 28, HOLC had clos ed 1,016,142 loans on nrban homes throughout the country to a total of $3,081,893,559 and practically every eligible application for re lief received was completed as a loan. The original past-due mort gages of the borrowers were taken up by the Corporation through exchange of its bonds with the former mortgage holders. Except for the first 290,000 bor rowers, whose loans cover a period of 12 years, the remaining 726,000 loans, under the act as amended, extend over a 15-year term, re payable at the rate of $7.91 monthly per thousand dollars, in cluding principal and interest at 5 percent. This amounts to $24 per month on the average loan, which was $3,023. The long term and low rate makes these loans the most liberal and convenient ever granted to home owners up to the time the HOLC began its activities. HOLC mortgages give the borrowers an annual saving of 60 million dollars in the reduc tion from the interest rates they had paid on the loans taken over and in the elimination of renewal charges. Under the pressure of acute need HOLC stopped the wave of borne foreclosnrers which had reached the record of 1,000 daily when the Roosevelt administra tion took charge. Sudan Grass and Millet Yield Summer Hay Crops Thousands of North Carolina farmers face a serious shortage of grazing and early hay crops this summer as a result of the hot, dry weather this year. However, if the drouth is brok en any time soon the situation can be remedied by planting rap id growing hay crops, said P. H. Kime, plant breeding agronomist. Sadan grass and millet grow rapidly and are usually ready to cut in 45 to 60 days after plant ing. They give good yields of palatable hay, and will grow on a wide range of soil typee, Kime pointed out. Sudan grass, best adapted to loam or sandy loam soils, should be seeded at the rate of 25 to 40 pounds per acre, drilled in or broadcast, and covered to a depth of one-half to one inch. The amount of seed to use depends on the fertility of the foil. When the seed heads begin to show, the grass is rea<ly to cut. The hay will be tender, leafy, aud nutritious, and will cure easily. German millet, or Golden mil let, gives larger yields than the other varieties, but the hay is rather coarse. It requires a fer tile soil and plenty of moisture. Common millet is more hardy ' . than German millet, although tt - produces a smaller growth. It makes a better quality hay, and is more suitable for thin, dry soils. Millet should be seeded like Sudan grass. When the heads are about one-fonrth out of the "boots," about 50 to 60 days al ter planting, it is ready for cut ting. Unless mixed with other hay millet should not be fed con tlnaosly to work animals. Apparently this is one year when side applications of nitrate of soda shonld pay well on cotton and corn, say farmers who have suffered from continued dry weather. Timely Finn Question* Answered At State College QUESTION ? Is it economical to carry pallets to the ben year for produotion purposes only? ANSWER ? This question nat urally reverts back to the breed ing of the birds. Heavy produc ing pullets of good breeding can be carried over, but all except the known heavy producers should.be replaced by pullets. As a usual thing, ben year production is about 26 per cent less than that of the pullet year and the bird must also be fed through a three months moulting period whiob makes i t unprofitable to carry any but the heavy egg producers to the hen year. QUESTION? W h e n should I begin feeding grain to my young calves? ANSWER ? Small amounte of both grain and bay should be of fered the calf at about two weeks of age or when the change from whole milk to skim-milk is made. Only a small handful is given daily, but this amount can be gradually increased as the calf grows older until it is receiving around three pounds a day at six months of age. Feed only as much as the calf will clean up. The grain should be fed just after the milk and while the calf is still fastened to the stanchion. QUESTION? What is the beet control for tobacco bud worm damage? ANSWER? The application of poisoned corn meal bait is the beet medinm for controlling this damage which is caused by the corn ear worm. One pound of arsenate of lead thoroughly mix ed with 50 pounds of corn meal and applied at the rate of one peck, or twelve pounds to the acre will give satisfactory results. The applications should be made early in the morning when the to bacco bud iB open. A small pinch of the poison should be dropped in the center of the bod. Begin applications about ten days after the plants are set and repeat ev ery week or ten days until the plants are topped. A five-county wool pool has been formed by farmers of Avery, Alleghany and Watauga counties in North Carolina and Qrayson and Carroll counties adjoining in Virginia. Eight farmers in Craven county are conducting farm management demonstrations in which they are nsing legnmes, raising more feed and practicing a balanced farming system. When N. C. Speee of Forsyth used the terracing unit to subsoil a 12-aore field on his farm, he liked the work so well that he asked to have another field pre pared In like manner.
