C. aa second claa* mall matter. MS. BECK EXPLAINS j LIGHT SITUATION _ __ < Mr. Johnson "has asked me ?8 Chairman of the Light and Wa ter committiee to make an explan ation of the Light Plant report as ' shown in this week's TIMES. 1 While this report is complete and t ?elf-explanatory, I am glad to J make the following statement of i the results as I see bhem. Looking at the first column in the report, you will see that a to- t Utl of 6,524,000 KWH was pro- j duced in the past six years. Look- ( Ing at the last column headed t "delivered cost*' per KWH you j will find an average for the six years lo be $2.23 which makes a total cost* for the 6,524,000 KWH t $146,485.20. This 6,524,000 ;( KWH if purchased at the deliver- 1 , ed price now offered by the Pow- 1 ^ er Co. of $1.96 the Town could ; have purchased same for $127, 870.40 or at a saving of $17,614. 80 for the six years, or at a saving i of $2,935.80 per year. J It IS & seMled Jaet that we will ! . have to increase the Out-yut? of^ oui* Plant by next fall. To do ' this we must purchase a new en gine and makeTepairs to present* engine at an. estimated cost of , $50,000.00. If we purchase a , new engine, possibly the cost of , current will be reduced. You j will note thet> there has been a decrease each year from $2.14 in 1936 to $2.04 in 1940. This cost of $2.04 is only .08 above the de livered cost if purchased from the Power Co. at $1.96. If current had been purchased for This year only at* $1.96 the Town would have saved only $1,102.56. How ever the figures in no one year will give a true pjrtwfg nf thg ??? lugs if current is purchased, be cause over the period of the past aix years the average yearly sav- ? ing would have been $3,522.96. If current is purchased it' will be done at a fixed cost, where If same la produced by our Plant the cost can only be estimated. One " year it may be up and auother year down, depending on cost> of engine repairs and fluxuating price of fuel oil. In the event that the Town is sued bonds in the amount of - $56,000.00 for t>be purpose ot buy ing a new engine of sufficient horsepower to carry the increas ing load for the next ten years, and making necessary changes in our 360 H. P. engine, it would not be sensible to reduce our light ? and power rates for Mie next sev eral years, unless we raised our tax rate about 40c per $100.00 valuation. , . This estimate has been made by the Board with a desire to find out< just what is best to do for the tax payers. Namely, pur chase current or a new engine, at j the previous estimated cost of $50,000.00. Personally, I will welcome ex pression from any one and I am sure the other members of t>he. Board would do likewise. Respectfully, K. C'.

With the increase In small grain acreage, we expect greater profits on the tarms. This can only Se .true if the grain is properly fed during tihe growing season. Grain, like every other crop, needs nitrogen to build the Framework or foundation for a large profitable yield, .as this ele ment, nitrogen, Influences the jrowlta of the entire plant from planting time to harvest. Nitrogen means stalks ? stalks mean grain. Let us realise the value of proper balance of nitro gen to the growing crop. - first, nitrogen cannot do the job alone, as other foods are needed for normal growth and development of the plants. The major foods, namely phosphorous and potash, assisted by nitrogen, do their work, and nitrogen, in turn, helps the plants make more efficient use of phosphorous and- potash. The vegetative growth or frame work of t<he plant necessary to have the grain is prdluced by quickly available nitrogen. This begins with the early root devel opment that starts soon after the seeds germinate, and then leaves begin to appear, the plants are carried through the hard winter monthB. and. at this time ? In February or early March ? they are hungry for additional nitro gen to Increase stoollng and stalk growth. Hence, ^ say nitrogen is the most profitable food you can give your small grain. Result sr of a number of rat' per-acre demonstrations conduct ed in North Carolina with 1J0 pounds, 200 pounds, and 300 -pounds of Nitrate ot Soda per acre applied early to wheat re turned the greatest profit. Oats, a heavy nitrogen feeder, gave greater profit's with 200 pounds of Nitrate of Soda per acre. These tests were conducted with leading farmers under the supervision of STEVENSON THEATRE Henderson, N. C. SUNDAY ONLY ? Mat. 44c - Night 55c the county agents and agricultur al teachers. ? ?jr 1 ? Timely Farm Questions Answered at State College QUK8TION: When should win ter legumes be turned under for soil improvement? ANSWER: Turn under the winter legume crop when it rea ches a height of 12 inches, or any time thereafter until Jt> js in bloom, says E. C. Blair, ICxtensian agronomist of N. C. State College. Before plowing it in, cut' It up fine ' with a disc harrow. Turn the furrow slice on edge rather than all the way over. Always wait two weeks before planting anot-h <>!? crop: otherwise, fennentat ioA at the legume may cause a poor stand. Winter legumes may be turned under in time to plant corn, peanuts, soybeans, cbwpeas, millet, sorghums, and sometimes cotton. Corn will under average conditions yield 20 to 25 bushels extra per acre on account' of the legume. VI EKTION: What crops can be planted safely in February >nd March? ANSWER: Dr. Gordon K. Mtd dleton, State College agronomist, has prepared a Spring Planting calendar which ahows that the following crops may be planted in February and March: Lespedeza Irom February 1 to March 15 in the Coastal Plain, from February [ 1 to March 20 in the Piedmont, and from March 1 to April 1 In the Mountains; corn, beginning March 15 In bhe Coastal Plain; kudzu, beginning February 15 in in the Coastal Plain and Pied mont, and March 1 in the Moun tains; and clovers, beginning February 15 In the Piedmont and March 1 in the Mountains.
