C. as second class mail tuatter. The liill to reduce automobile licenses will, no doubt, be a very popular law. It would be a great deal better to reduce the license fee than to divert the money. ~T Report s from the income tax ret urns "Indicate that business is on -an upward trend. Ijets hope the back bone of the depression is broken and that we are well on o*r way to normalcy. Among .those we have heard mentioned as probable candidates for Town Commissioners, besides the mem bers of the present board are Geo. I. Griffin, N. L. Mose Jey, James B. King, F. W. Hicks, Sr. Two bills recently advanced on> their way to pas sage In the present General Assembly of' statewide im portance and no doubt will be of great benefit to the people are the bills to require all-dogs to be vaccinated against rabies, and the One to compensate parents of children injured while on school buses. Representative Lumpkin is making quite a big and strong tight in the Legislature against the Sales tax, al though his proposal, Was the same as killed in the com mittee. He has won several skirmishes in the House in increasing tax on corporations with an idea of lowering . of eliminating the Sales tax. It has been suggested that he wftkrnn for Attorney General of North Carolina in the next election. If thig is true he is now making a very popular fight that will serve him good. The State could get ot?t<rs possibly as good, but Franklin feels none would be better fitted or take greater interest in the work. Our only regret would-be losing him from our community during bLs term in office. Senator E. F. Griffin is tobccongratulated in his presentation of a bill to eliminate tax exemption on prop erty owned by churches, schools and otliwr organizations, fiot a part of the particular institution ami ntniessary for use by the institution owning it. He has gWrted the agitation in the legislative halls that will" eventually be come law. The people-hack home whoso- taxes are rais ed by reason of this exemption are strongly behind Sen ator Griffin although the Legislature defeated his bill iif the committee. No one questions the propriety of ex empting the property of churches, educational institu tions and such, that is a^Jtually used and.necefcsary for the proper conduct of such institution, but it is vastly unfair to the tax payers generally to allow these institu tions to own business, farm and home property for corn inercial purposes without having to pay tax on it. the - same as any individual. The TIMES would not be sur prised if therfc is not,, fully a third of the property in the State exempt under This exemption privilege. "WORK RELIEF" OR DOLE?1 It seems to us that there nre two sides to the much-de bated subject of "work -relief ".versus the dole. We are glad that we do not have the final decision to make. . ?The President's plan, as he offered it to Congress, is to put all the employable persons who are now on relief, at work on various kinds of permanent improvements, but at wages which will be comparable to the amounts doled out for no work at all. The psychology of that is that the morale of the recipients of relief is being shattered by getting something for nothing, and that it is ^better for them, and so for the nation, that they be required to per form useful work for what they receive. But the Presi dent holds that this payment should not be large enough to tempt men who have jobs to Yeave~ them for relief work, or to keep them from accepting pHvate employment when that is offeredjo them. Those arguments sound reasonable, but so also do some of the arguments advanced on the otht^ide. There is. the argument of the business organizations, who poifit out that, as business and industry must eventually pay the costs, relief should be administered as economically as possible, and the straight cash dole, if kept down to a hare subsistence level,- is the most economical -way. There is also the argument of the representatives of or ganized, labor, that any man who does any work should be paid the prevailing rate of wages for that work. There is a psychological basife for that jit is not good for a man's "morale to know that others, no mbre competent or in dustrious than he, are getting more money for the same kind of work merely because they happen to have a dif ferent paymaster. - _. - [?The worst feature- of direct money relief is that men come to regard it as. a right, rather than as charity. In ?? abolishing the poorhouse, with its stigma of pauperism, it may be that a diservice has been done to those unfor tunate enough to be in need of assistance from the public purse. ?- ' v -***< '' Timely Farm Questions Answered at State College Question: What is the best fer tilizer to use (or vegetables? Answer: As a general fertilizer for most truck and garden crops, a mixture containing 5 percent nitrogen. 7 percent phosphoric' acid, and 5 percent potash gives satisfactory results. Leafy crops such as cabbage, lettuce, and kale will require more nitrogen but this can be supplied in the form of side-applications. The kind and amount of fertilizers together with Ihe time of application for the various garden crops are given in Extension Circular No. 199, copies of which may be secured from the Agricultural Editor at State Col lege. J Question: What causes hloody droppings from my young birds and how can it be controlled? j Answer: This is usually the acute form of coccldiosis and is caused by a small round organism. To eradicate the disease kill all chicks that appear sick and either burn or bury them deeply. Clean out the old litter or sand from the brooder house every two days and replace with clean sand to the1 depth of one-third of an inch. Tb-s! removed material should be buri ed. All feeding and drinking ves sels should be cleaned and d.lsin- j fected with boiling water every j few days The ground where the chicks have run before the di sease appeared should be turned under. All birds*fchould4>e conflnv ed while there is a sign of the' disease and should be kept on restricted range for several weeks after the disease has disappeared. Question: Whs>t mixtures we recommended for permanent pas tures? Answer: The mixtures vaiy with'the type ui soil and the stc tion of the Stat? but practically all mixtures should contain carpet grass, dallis grass, or lespedeza. these grasses may also be seeded on top of other grasses or clovers planted the previous fall. Recom mended mixtures for all soils and sections are shown in Extension Circular No. 202 "Pastures in North Carolina" and copies will be mailed free upon application to the Agricultural Editor, State College. ADVISES POISONED BAIT FOR Cl'TWORK CONTROL Applications of poisoned bait to gardens and fields in the spring will prevent the tremendous dam age often caused by cutworms. ' C. H. ? Brannon, extension en tomologist it State College, says that an effective and inexpensive bait can be mixed at home. When properly applied, it will not injure the plants He recommends a mixture of one pound of Paris green to &0 pounds of wheat bran, with Just enough water to>< moisten thor oughly. If Paris green cannot be ob tained, sodium fluoride will give good results in the same dosage, ^rannon points out, but lead afseuate and calcium 'arsenate" should not be used since they do not give^ood Jesuits. The bran and poison should be thoroughly infxed dry in a tub or other vessel, he says, and then gradually moistebed until all the bait is damp. The fer?n should be wet -a.nough to crumble when squeezed in the hand, t^ut not sticky or mushy. When mixing the bait, do not breathe any more of the fum&t than necessary, he' warns, and af terward keep it out of the reach of animals and children. , The first application should be broadcast at the rate of 15 to 20 pounds, dry weight, to the acre ljust before the yoiing plants come up, he says. Applied in the even ing. the bait will be fresh when the worms T>ecome active. One application usually lasts for several days, but it should be re peated immediately after a heavy rain. When the bait is applied where the plants are abovj ground be cautious, do not allow lumps of bait to come in contact with the plants.

Golden Text: 1 Peter 3:15. The first letter of Peter is one ot the most inspired books in the Bible, beautiful in its spirit of whole hearted devotion. The Christian nock, is regarded as the, true Israel of God, scattered about in little groups here and there as exiles in the midst of a harsh, hostile world. Indeed we fe*l, as we read this epistle, the impact of a head-on colli sion between the household of faith -inri tko aim pirVof Kome.C"ft CU? t. Dunn was written from Rome under the1 stress of a fierce persecution affect- ? ing a large area and continued for a> considerable period. We read of "the fiery trial which is to try you." (cha$. 4:12) What is probably re ferred to is the organized, official' attack on the Christian Society car-j ried on in the year 96 A.D. under, the authority of the emperor Domi-. tian. If this supposition is correct,! then Peter, although his nameMsj attached to the letter, did not really' write it, for he perished, according to tradition, in the earlier massacre tinder Xero. The letter has three main divi sions. In the first section, Chap. 1:1 to 2:10, the writer speaks of the blessed hope made available through Christ, and urges his readers to live , worthily of it. In the second part, j chap. 2:11 to 4:6, which includes our j eloquent lesson text, he gives direc- 1 tions for conduct, and recommends | patience under suffering. The Gold- ; en Text, a clear call for unhesitating testimony, is enshrined in this pas- ; sage. The last division, chap. 4:7 to 5:14, is a plea for personal faith, in Christ, coupled with patience ; under persecution. The k<fy word of this lovely letter is "hope." At the very start the t Christian faith is called a "living hope" (chap. 1:3), and this thought is often repeated. The present is evil. bi?t the future is glorious. Peace and happiness will come to the loyal followers of Christ, whose sore trial is to be short-lived. %Send us the news. NEWS REEL, March Release by A.
