Rush Allotments Warns Cotton Cnies -— i_ Cotton growers who wish allot ments under the Bankhead bill must hie their applications with their county agents before the time limit >s up, warns Charles A. Sheffield, of State College. The State Allotment Board is now setting up its office at the Col lege, he said, and farmers deserving allotments must not be held up by those who delay their applications. In each county, the time limit for filing is 15 days from the time the first applicatons are- received. Since some counties started acceptance of applications earlier than others, the dead line will vary in different places. The applications are bring accept ed in most of the counties now and the other counties will begin right away, Sheffield stated. The individual growers’ allot ments cannot be apportioned until all applications are in, Sheffield ex plained, since the county allot ments are to be prorated among the growers who apply for them. The proration will be in accordance with the past production of each grower. Sheffield pointed out that every cotton farmer is entitled to an al lotment, even if he did not sign a contract. Contract signers will have the advantage of receiving benefit payments for their crop re ductions while non-signers will not. He said that all applications should be made on form BA8. When there are tenants on the farm, form BA9 should also be filled out and attached to form BA8. —Buy in Salisbury— RFC Finds Way Of Replenishing Coffers Of PWA The Reconstruction corporation has tested and found successful a method of keeping the Public Works administration supplied with funds for employment-spreading loans. It offered for public sale a $$, 889,370 block of state, county, municipal, and railroad bonds pre viously purchased by the PWA and received bids ranging as high as $40 above their par value of $1,000. The premium represents a margin of profit for the government. All PWA loans to states, muni cipalities and railroads, consist of outright purchases of 4 per cent j bonds at par. Between the PWA and the RFC, par is also the basis of the transactions. PWA’s funds available for loans to states, cities and railroads have been virtually alloted. Last win ter congress authorized the RFC to lend the Public Works adminis tration a maximum of $25 0,000, 000 on the bonds held by the latter. By selling the securities as PWA needs more money, the RFC can keep within that limitation and still provide additional funds, with the sums in effect coming from the regular money markets. Resale of the' bonds received in exchange for PWA advances was contemplated and authorized by the national recovery act, officials em phasized and if continued would teijd to make a revolving fund of the original appropriations. Traveling Around America j ■ ■ ■ .. — .. .Photo by Grace Line—■ FIFTH AVENUE AT SEA have a busy time or it Keep ing pace with the fair sex these days! The latest luxury they’ve been called upon to provide is a Fifth Avenue beauty salon—the old fash ioned “beauty parlor” will no longer meet the demands of the seekers after beauty at sea. The salon shown above is Operated by one of Fifth Avenue's most popular beau ty specialists on the Grace Liner Santa Paula and is a striking ex ample of the many innovations in troduced by modern liners in def erence to the "better half" of their passenger lists. Back in the days when seagoers belonged to the sturdier sex ships provided only the bare necessities of life. Since women first climbed the gangplank, however, many changes nave occurred. Tiers oi DunKs nave been replaced by staterooms with comfortable beds and modern con-j veniences. “Tinned dog” has long: since disappeared from the menu; and been replaced by delicacies kept j fresh in electric refrigerators. The. ships “Doc” has retired from the| galley in favor of expert chefs and dieticians who preside over up-to the-minute kitchens. Luxuriously furnished living rooms, dining rooms and restaurants, shops, clubs and gymnasiums have invaded the deckhouse. Decks have spread out and taken on the atmosphere of country club and beach resort. In deed, ships have gone completely modern and are being well repaid— with bigger and better passenger lists. Fit Cattle Early For Fall Shows The fitting and showing of dairy inimals is an art that means almost is much as quality in winning prizes n the sho wring. Fred M. Ffaig, associate professor >f animal husbandry and dairying it State College, who has judged nany exhibits at fairs, said that nany owners have lost place! hrough improper methods of pre aring and exhibiting their entries. Too many dairyman wait until a reek or two before the fair to start reparing their cattle for the show ng, he said. The animals should be elected 10 or 12 weeks before the air and put through a thorough onditioning. They should be elected for their ige and breed, with straight, level op lines; long, deep middles; nat -ual refinement or quality; and ;mart, clean-cut appearance. The young animals should ap proach the upper age limit of their class, since the larger animals are given preference over smaller ones, he said, when other things are equal. Ffe also suggested fitting several animals in each class so that thoe showing up best at the close of the finishing season can be selected fo exhibition. Females in milk should have well developed mammary systems, with large, well balaned udders and teats of uniform size, squarely placed. The dry cow does not show up so well as the cow in milk. Haig worned against putting toe much fat on the animals or over fitting them. The objective is tc put on just enough flesh to give them a smooth, sleek appearance. A good grain mixture to feed is 10C pounds of ground corn, 100 pounds! of ground oats, 100 pounds of j wheat bran, and 100 pounds of lin-j seed oil meal. Careful grooming of the animals is as important as proper feeding, with plenty of brushing every day. . Tar soap is recommended. Haig ad vsed aganst clipping over the entire body as it makes the hair grow coarser. Files Bankrupt Petition Sherley Monroe Stirewalt, of East Spencer, cloth baler, filed a scheduled listing $744 in debts and $270 in assets. The case was re ferred to Referee W. T. Shuford, of Salisbury. Black-Draught For Dizziness, Headache Due To Constipation “I have used Thedford’s Black Draught several years and find it splendid,” writes Mr. G. W. Hol ley, of St. Paul, Va. “I take it for dizziness or headache (due to con stipation). I have never found anything better. A short while ago, we began giving our children Syrup of Black-Draught as a laxa tive for colds and little stomach ailments, and have found it very satisfactory.” ...

Southern Railway ? System Plant Austrian Peas Advises Agronomist Austrian winter peas make an ex cellent fall legume for improving! almost any North Carolina soil, says i E. C. Blair, extension agronomist at j State College. ' The peas are equal to crimson clover or vetch in soil building qualities and the seed is compara tively cheaper to sow although more seed is required, the planting rate being 30 pounds to the acre. The best time for sowing is in September, preferably before the 15 th, Blair said. The Austrian winter pea seed may be obtained from almost any seed dealer. The seed may be broadcast in standing corn, cotton, or tobacco and covered with an ordinary walk ing cultivator. To avoid loss of cotton, the sowing should be just before the bolls open or right after the first picking. Another way of seeding is to pre pare the seed bed by shallow plow ing or disking, then sow the seed and cover with a harrow, Blair re commended. The peas should not be sown with rye, as the two crops will not be ready to turn under at the same time. But they may mixed with vetch or crimson clover to get good results. Sown by themselves, the peas may be turned under earlier in the spring than either vetch or crimson clover. Blair said that although this leg ume is new to this section of the country, it has proved to be an ex cellent legume and will probably increase in popularity as more far mers learn of its merits. Season Favorable Says Yeager The season in the county has been the most favorable for hay crops this year, says W. G. Yeager, County Agent, and Rowan farmers are in the making of the largest hay crop in many years. The red and sweet clovers are doing excep tionally well this year and then the Korean and Kobe lespedezas are making fine growth and hay mak ing will be in full swing in another week or ten days. Many farmers are predicting from two to four tons of hay per acre from their fields. The Extension office is urging all possible hay saved to provide an abundance for livestock of the county and any surplus will likely find a ready outside market. I f'jy’__ Say "I Saw It In The Watchman.” North Carolina Is Letting Millions Slip Through Its Fingers; Need Action North Carolina is losing hun dreds of thousands of dollars a year it would otherwise get from tour ists who would visit the State be cause it does not have its places of historical and scenic interest pro perly marked but a special com mittee of the Board of Conserva tion and Development is already working out plans to be presented to the 193 5 General Assembly. There is no way of knowing what the Legislature will be will ing to do, but officials are going to present a definite program calling for the adequate marking of the places of historical interest in the state. They are going to try to convince the Legislature that the state is losing literally millions of dollars worth of tourist travel every pear because of the failure of the state to carry out any systematic marking of its many historical slaces. They are also going to seek egislation ,to safeguard areas that night be donated as historical ihrines, public parks or recreational grounds, until they can be definitel !y acquired by the State, and are hoping that owners of these pro-1 perties will he willing to donate plots of land to the State in return for having the State preserve, re store or maintain these places. Every business man, property owner, farmer, hotel man and res taurant owner in the State should get behind the movement for more adequate marking of places of his toric interest, since this will bring thousands of additional tourists and hundreds of thousands of dollars of new money into the State. One of the things that shows strikingly i how North Carolina has suffered from not marking its historical spots and shrines, as has Virginia, : Maryland, Delaware and other states, is the fact that in 1933, out ■ of $175,000,000 worth of all-ex pense tours routed through various parts of the United States, not a one was rounted through North Carolina. When 175 of these all expense tour directors were asked. the reason, they said the principal j reason was because North Carolina I had not marked and preserved its ■historical spots and other places of interest to the extent that they were attractive to tourists. They admitted that North Carolina had plenty of places that were of inter est, if they were properly marked and developed, but that without this they were of almost no inter est. A large number of these tours were routed through Virginia and ather states that have seen the val ae of developing their historical places, so that they got a liberal ilice of the $175,000,000 expended an these tours. North Carolina can dso get a large slice of these mil ions if it will make its places of nterest more attractive to them. The 193 5 General Assembly will ae asked to provide an appropriation sufficient to erect roadside'markers Celling of historical places of inter est similar to those that have been erected in all sections of Virginia. It will also be asked to provide funds for the purchase, restoration and preservation of historical shrines, to be maintained by the state, and the requests should be granted.—Concord Tribune. a t i 1 t l • All the world T knows Djer-Kiss is f foremost among all ' Talcums.
