He was especially proud of the success of his efforts to reduce the costs of handling cotton.

He said the as sociation had received more cot ton the past year than the year before although competition hu.i been greater, and that they ar? still receiving cotton and advanc ing 12 cents on It. He thought 'be price of cotton should be 15 cents minimum. He was sure it was worth that much to the grower, but considering the exports, local i consumption and demand for cot ton goods it was 'not worth 12 cents. He compared the one time cost of $3.00 per bale for handling the cotton with the present cost of $1.00.

Wed nesday April 3. 1 Will the airplane ever take the place of the train as the speediest means of crosB-country transpor tation of passengers and freight? This quesalon. which for years has been causing railroad officials considerable worry, is definitely answered in RKO-Radio Picture, "The Silver Streak," at the Lo.uis burg Theatre Wednesday, April 3 Year by year, the world has witnessed rapid strides in the I perfection of the airplane as to speed and safety. And meantime the train has stood idly by and watched passenger travel jump by leaps and bounds from railways to airways. Not until the invention of the new. light, high-tensile strength steel trains . wh|ch, by reason of streamlining, can be driven safe ly at speeds two miles a minute, did the railroad problem begin to $how signs of solution. The new speed trains, combin ing the best elements of the air plane and automobile have com pletely revolutionized this $26, 000,000,000 industry. It was the famous Burlington "Silver Streak", America's first and only Diesel-motOred stream line train, that suggested the theme for the motion picture "The Silver Streak", and the train is featured thrqjighouj( the film .{is.an adjunct to the story's drama. The thrilling story deals with a history-making, non-stop, cross country run of the Silver Streak from Chicago to Boulder Dam. In the photoplay the train carries the newly developed "Drinker Respir ators," perhaps better known as "iron lungs," on an epic errand of mercy, the respirators being used to save the lives of great num bers of workers who have been stricken with Infantile paralysis. Railroad officials claim that cross-country runs, such as the one depicted ih this picture, will be a common occurrence Just as soon as the streamline speed trains are generally put into serv ice. ~~ Roger Rolt-Wheeler and H. W. Hanemann wrote the Screen play which was adapted from an or iginal story by Rolt-Wheeler. Sally Blane and Charles Starrett head the cast and Hardie Albright and William Farnum also are featured; 1 ?

Kimrey, extension dairy man at -State College, is enlisting the help of school children to in terest their parents in the family cow program for eastern North Carolina. "This new way of. reaching par ents is the most successful we have found thus far," Kimrey stat ed, "and we hope to expand it to other counties in the future."-'" The movement was launched la Wilson, CurrRuck, and Greene counties, with Edgecombe next on the schedule. Kimrey reported that he has been addressing between 2,000 and 3,000 school children, 4-H club members, and other young people each week, endeavoring to show them the need for more milk In the diet. At the close of the address, those children who do not hava cows at home are asked to remain "for a discussion of the possibili ties of their raising calves. Those interested are listed, together with the names of their parents. The extension specialist and the local farm and home agents then carry the matter to the parents. If the parents are willing to buy a heifer calf for the children to raise, the agents and the specia list offer their help in securing calves at a moderate price. "Right now," Kimrey ex plained, "we are not instating that they buy expensive calves of the best breeding. The main thing Is to place at least one calf with each family so that it may have an adequate supplr-ef milk and but ter in the near future. "We find that ? those children who come from homes #hich do not have a family cow are, M ft rule, undernourished and inferior physically to those children that . have milk In their , diet. In Wil son County, about 8'0 peraent of the children to whom U talked came from home* where there were no cows."
