SCHOOL MARSTER'S
CLUB MEETS
In one ot the most importaht
nieet4ngs to be held, the county
School Marater's of Pranklin
County outlined a revised pro
gram of public education for
North Carolina. The nieetiug look
place in the Community .Building
of Youngsville and was thronged
by a goodly crowd of nearly nine
ty teachers and principals.
The problem of teacher tenure
was discussed by Superintendent
Lamb of the Bunn School. In pre
senting this phase in the new pro
gram. Mr. Lamb staled t?hat an
adequate tenure law would:
1 ? Protect teachers against an
nual dismissal.
2 ? Service of teachers venule!
be better. *
3 ? Place a premium on merit".
4 ? Insure a continuing con
tract.
Next came Superintendent Har
ris- of the Prahklintou School,
who urged that a retirement- sys
tem be temporarily shelved and
concentration placed on a reduc
tion of the teaching load.

with professional needs, the third

Questions
Answered at Zt&te College
yt'KNTION: What In Ihc hv?t
j(ti*cn hud for |>otiltr> In the
winter?
ANSWKK: UurM aitalfn hay.'
| clover hay or lespedeza make ;
iBood greens for winter use uit a
poulKy feed proving the growiN
color is retained. Another satis- ?
{factory feed is alfalfa leaf meal,
and again It is important to re
jtaln the color. However, alfalfa!
leal' inenl should not constitute
I more than 10 per cent of the
jmash. All the hays should be
fed in racks since the birds will
eat only the leaves and the Items
lean be thrown in t>he litter.
yi'EKTUU : How can I store
Daltlia root* to keep thnu over
the winter? I
ANSWEH: An ideal plaoe to
istore Dahlias is any cellar or
! storage bin that does not become I
warmer than 50 degrees F. The
average furnace-heated house cel
lar is too hot and dry and t-he
| clumps will need protection. This
can be accomplished by packing
;the roots in a box of slightly
{moistened granulated peat moss
land placing iu the coolest' part of
the cellar. Dry sand or sandy
sojl may be used as parking ma
terial.
gl KSTlON : What i* tlir host
fertilizer mixture for use on to
liuri-o plant l? <l> and nhat amount,
should he used?
ANSWER: Two hundred lbs.'
of a 4-8-;i mixture for each 190
square yards of bed. Iihs proven
moist satisfactory. If a low grade
fertiliser is used. It can be sup
plemented with 50 to 100 pounds
of cottonseed meal, provided the
meal is mixed thoroughly with
Ore? soil. All fertilizers should
be broadcast on the plant* bed and
thoroughly mixed with the upper
three or four incbtMi of soil. Be
sure that all roots and small
stumps are removed from the
plant< bed space. The soil should
be broken finely by using a disc
harrow, coulter, or some other
suitable implement.
