MOTHER EARTH RECOV ERING FROM MAGNET IC HEADACHE New York. ? The earth recover ed Monday from the communica tion-wrecking effects of a mag? uetic storm, posBibly the greatest in Modern history. A tornado-like solar distur bance, scientists said, whipped up huge spots on the sun from which a stream of electrical particles emanated, riddling the earth's nt mosphere and virtually isolating America from the rest of the world for several hours Sunday. The phenomenon affected land telegraph and telephone; under sea cables; the (Wireless telephone from New York to London, Paris and Rome; short-wave relays and j even long-wave radio to a lesser extent. ' For hours the crippling blow do- I layed movement of thousands of | Easter messages via telegraph. Capping the day-long astral- ! physical warfare was a display of "northern light" ? The aurora borealis ? which gave additional support to the theory the heaven ly fireworks are a manifestation of sun spots. The hayden planetarium's exe cutive curator, William H. Barton, Jr., explained that the disturbance resulted from the Interception of the stream of charges by the earth's magnetic force, causing Che particles to veer off toward the terrestrial poles and thus cut ting through manmade waves and currents. The American Telephone and Telegraph company said it was the worst case of wire disruption its engineers could recall. Cur rents as high an 500 volts were set up by the disturbance, caus ing insulation to burn in .some ! instances. The Associated Press' 285,000- ' mile leased wire circuit was badly hit, as was Its 10,000-mlle wire photo network over which news nlctnres are transmitted. ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED Mr. and Mrs. Nat' D.

MRS. JULIA P. SCOTT " Market Street Loulabttrg, N. 0. , BE CAREFUL Cotton farmers in Franklin County should be careful in har vesting their wheat to avoid los ing their cotton adjusl-inent pay ment. The Washington Office has advised that a Cotton Adjustment Payment of 1.65c per pound would be made to farmers with cotton allotment? provided t'hey did not plant In excess of their ' allotted cotton acrcage nor exceed their combined permitted acreage of cotton, tobacco, and wheat. Un der this Provision, a farmer on u non-wheat' allotment f^rm is per mitted to harvest 10 acres of wheat or his established usual acreage whichever is the larger. Should he harvest in excess of this acreage, it would be necessary to reduce either cotton or tobacco acreage under allotment equiva lent to excess harvested acreage of wheat. To illustrate, a farmer hav-: lug a cotton allotment of 10 acres, I tobacco allotment of 4 acres, and j no allotment of wheat and har- j vested 12 acres of wheal, 10 acres, of cotton, and four acres of to- j bacco would not be eligible to re ceive Cotton Adjustment Pay ment. ' However, if this farmer planted 8 acres of cotton ho could harvest 12 acres of wheat. 8 acres of cotton and 4 acres of tobacco 1 and got his payment announces N. H. Ayscue, Chairman of Frank- j lln County Committee. It can be observed from the' above Information that tarmer can harvest one excess acre of wheat vahred -conservatively at $12 and lose a payment of ap- ! proximately $4 an acre on allot-! ted cotton acreage It shluld be ; observed, however, that on a non-1 allotment wheat farm wheat Is ji not classified as wheat except when harvested for grain. Farm ers having a planted acreage of wheat in excess of 10 acres or their usual acreage should check witih the County Office for com pliance Information befire har vesting their wheat. It should be observed that multiple farms reg Just Arrived Car Load MULES ? AND ?
