EUROPEAN
WAR NEWS
The southern half of Norway
was falling today like a ripe
I plum into the hands of the Ger
man invaders.
Official announcements in Ber
lin reported two important sue- '
i cesses. They said:
1 1. The Nazi Expeditionary
Force has bridged the last gap be
tween its columns moving norMi
and northwest from Oslo and
south from Trondheim.
2. Dombus. vital railroad junc
tion 100 miles south of Nazi-held
Trondheim. has been captured by I
the Germans
There were no details in Berlin j
on the reported seizure of Dom-|
has, where Allied forces had tried
to stop the German steamroller
iu several days of heavy fighting, j
Unofficial reports in London ac-:
knowledged that Storen. 30 miles >
south of Trondheim. had been oc
cupied by the Nazis.
This would be the heaviest blow
iso far to the Allies. Storen is a
vital railroad junction and. evi
dently. the goal of five converg- 1
ing forces.
The Berlin communique said
ithe connection had been made)
isouthwest of Storen by one force
moving south from Trondheim ;
land another advancing north from
Oslo via Tynset .
A third German column was
reported at Kvatu, in the Guh
randsdal Valley. :',n miles south
east of British-held Puinbas; a
| fourth near Hjerkinn. farther
east, where the Gudsbrand and
Oster Valleys run roughly paral-'
lei. and the fifth, on the east
flank, trying to close in. from
Itnros
The Allies apparently wore full- 1
lug bark before the German
iHteamroller despite strategic posi- '
itions and additional reinforce- 1
inents landed at two new debar- |
Ration points on Norway's west
count .
On the other fronts, moreover,
I he Germans reported gains to
ward Be r Re n. on the southwest
coast*, h en V? damage by air attack
j to Namsos and Andalsnes, British
debarkation points, the sinking ot'
six ships and two or three subma
'rines. Britain reported two sub
marines. the Sterlet and Tarpon,
i as overdue and presumably lost.
Skirmishing took place on the
Steinkjer front' 50 miles north of
Trondheim. where German patrols ;
"were beaten back with losses by )
the British and French.

ing; E. Y. Floyd, of Ral
eigh, Guest Speaker;

Delightful Barbecue Sup
per.
A large number of invited
guests attended the Farmers and
Business Men's get together meet
ing sponsored by the farmers,
held at the Agricultural building
on Friday night at 7 o'clock.
After enjoying a bountiful
meal of delicious Weldon barbe
cue, slaw, coffee and tea, the
meeting was treated with several
splendid speeches on the 1940
Farm Program.
In the absence of Chairman N.
H. Ayscue, who was detained be
cause of the death of his wife's
mother, E. M. Harris presided
presenting a very interesting aud
informative program.
Assistant County Agent E. P.
Ba rnes was first called and ex
plained the comparative and pros
pective farm income from 1930
through 1940.
Harry Banks explained how the
farm payment were computed,
which was of much interest to
those present.
County Agent VV. O. Boyce ex
plained soil building practices and
grants-of-aid He told his hear
ers that when crop income in
creased $ 1 .110 business gets 74
cents of it. hut when crop income
loses $1.00 business loses 80
ceuts. Following t'his he went
much into detail about the soil
building practices and benefits.
Franklin County farmers are
eligible lo receive, providing they
carry out sufficient' units. 70c an
acre in addition to the cotton pay
ment of l.tic per pound and the
tobacco payment of lc per pound
under Soil Conservation Program.
This will amount in the County
lo approximately $51,000.00. In.
('he past Franklin County farmer*
have earned approximately 68%
of this paymenl which leaves a
sum of $16,178 unearned Thure
are many practices which farm
ers may use to earn this payment.
The following six practices are
suggested as means of earning
these practices, receiving a much
larger return us benefit from the
practice and yet receiving suffic
ient' or approximately sufficient
return to pay the cost of carrying
out the practice:
1. $16,178 will purchase 5.393
bushels of Austrian Winter Peas
which will seed 10.786 acres. Cost
per acre fol seeding is $1.50.
Practice credit available under
the Program ? $1.50 for seeding
during current year and $1.50 for
plowing under the following year..^
2. $16,178 will purchase 12,
942.000 pounds of Agricultural
Ground Limestone which Is suf
ficient to apply 1500 pounds per
acre to 8,628 acres. The cost of
sufficient material to earn one
unit is $1.87 and this returns
$1.50, giving farmer benefit of
1500 pounds of lime at cost of
O ( V.
3. $16,178 will purchase 2.
022,000 pounds of 20% phosphate,
sufficient quantity to apply 400
pounds to acre to 5.065 acres.
Material to earn one unit will
cost J 1.92. Credit returned Is
$1.50 when applied on specified
crops as Lespedeza, seeded alone,
crimson clover, Austrian winter
peas, retch, permanent pasture
and crotalaria. malting 400 lbs.
of tihis material actually cost th?
farmer 42.
4. $16,178 will pay the County
Terracing unit to construct 2,
f>68.400 feet of terraces which is
uifficient to terrace 5,136 acres.
It costs approximately $.25 to
construct) 200 feet of ' terraces
which will give $1.50 credit to
ward earning soil building al
lowance. *
5. Allowing $5 an acre as co9t
of labor to thin one acre of land.
this sum of money will thin 3,235
acres. Kach acre properly thinned
will pay $3 00 and for the addi
tional $2.00 cost, the farmer will
get approximately 10 cords of
wood and leave his timber pint* in
a greater Improved condition.
6. $16,178 will buy 2.064 bu
shels of crimson clover which wilt
Med 8,250 acres. Each acre seed
ed will cost for the seed $1.15
at 13c per pound, using 15
pounds to acre and will earn on??
unit or $1.50 for seeding during
the current year and one unit for
plowing under doting following
year.
As a result of farmers not car*
rylng out practice# to earn thla
payment, the farmer has lost thn
