Reccommd Red Polled Cows For Small Farms Red Polled cattle are a dual pur pose breed and as such they have not gained as wide popularity in the United States as the strictly beef and dairy breeds. As the name indicates, this breed is red in color and the cattle have polled or hornless heads, say live stock authorities at State College. They rank high as milk produc ers, it was stated, and herds which have been selected and bred for milk production have made exceed ingly good records for both milk and butterfat production. Although they are not up to the standard of the strictly beef herds, authorities say, they have a place on the small farm where they pro duce enough milk for the family use and at the same time produce steers for market that are superior to regular dairy cattle as beef ani mals. in general, Ked XJolIed cattle are medium in size. Both the head and neck are longer and leaner than are desired in strictly beef type cattle. Although the body has not as much flesh covering as the strict ly beef breed animal, it is well rib bed and the hooks are smooth. The hind quarters lack the thick ness and depth of the beef breeds, yet they are superior to those on cattle of the strictly dairy breeds. Livestock men point out that the lack of fat covering on Red Polled cattle is not a serious handicap, for consumers do not like large quantities of fat on their meat. —READ THE WATCHMAN— E. Carr Choate DENTIST Office Over Purcell Drug Store No. 2 Phone_141 s Office in Mocksville is Closed Smart Trimmings Give Zest To The New Spring Suits Smart accessories give new life to dresses and suits carried over from last year, said Miss Willie N. Hun ter, extension clothing specialist at State College. Collors, ties, jabots, and scarfs— either tailored or fussy and frilly— add a piquant touch to the '"slight ly tired dress.” They may be made of silk, satin, or pique. Gloves give a zip to tailored cost umes, she stated. They may be hand crocheted or of soft washable leathers, or fabrics in bright colors that accent the wardrobe. "Then there are clips and bout onnieres of bright spring flowers. Flowers for the lapel, flowers for the hat, more flowers than you ever saw before,” she pointed out. "Big natural-looking bunches of violets, huge carnations in white, red, or navy blue seem to be fav orities. Miniature fruits, cherries, blackberries, oranges, carrots, apples and even pea pods, are to be found in the shops.” Handkerchiefs show splashes of color to match the color accent of the wardrobe. Bags may be of leather, but they can be made of suede or fiori to correspond with the suit, coat, scarf, hat or gloves. A new blouse is a good stimulant for an old suit that still has lots of wear, ut isn’t quite as fresh as it used to be. Blouses are made from numerous materials in cottons, linens, and silk. They may be white, pastel shades dark colors, or in prints. To make smart color combina tions in a spring costume, be sure the color of every item corresponds to one or two other items. Never use more than two items of bright color. There are a lot of people who will despise you if you are poor, and hate you if you are rich. You just can’t please everybody. —REA® THE WATCHMAN— II ]' Beautiful I Memorials i WITH THE OPENING OF SPRING YOU WILL HAVE NO MORE APPROPRIATE TIME TO MARK THAT LOVED ONE’S GRAVE.

You would if you could spare the time and if you had a spot where the soil wasn’t so poor. Of course we all would. Gardening is the most healthful and pleasant exercise, and the re wards in a wealth of colorful frag rant bloom richly repay all the of fort and time we give to it, how ever small and poor our garden may be. The matter of poor soil need not stop us, and neither should the question of time. There are a few annuals that may be depended upon to give you bloom in almost any soil that may be worked at all. They are all of the easiest culture and may be seeded right where you want them to bloom, and with a minimum of effort to see that they get water enough, they will bloom very nicely. Here is the list: Por tulacca, Verbena, Ice Plant, Sweet Alyssum, Cockscomb, Kochia, Nas turtium, Petunia, and Batchelor Buttons. We had Nasturtiums blooming to perfection last year in a garden spot that was nothing but an ash pile covered with an inch of soil on top. If you plant nasturtiums in rich soil they will all go to foliage and be a total loss. Even the new and marvelous double nasturtiums arei perfectly hardy and easy to grow. Beds of portulacca, the old-fash ioned rose moss of Grandmother’s day, require very little attention in return for their myriad of gay blooms, Petunia and verbena planted together will bloom all sea son long in a variety of bright colors. Sweet Alyssum makes at tractive, ever-blooming borders, and Cockscomb, Kochia and Batchelor Buttons offer taller plants for the background. * » * An ingenius new kitchen aid is designed specifically for the scien tific and efficient cooking of aspar agus.

SOIL PROGRAM MODIFIED TO REACH MORE FARMERS The soil-improvement program has been made more flexible so that a greater number of farmers will be able to qualify for payments Originally, the program specified that a farmer must have an acreage off soil-improvement crops equal to at least 20 per cent of his basej acreage of cotton, tobacco, or pea-' nuts and at least 1$ per cent of his! base acreage of other soil-depleting crops. Under a new ruling said Dean! I. O. iSchaub of State College,! growers who fail to meet the ori- j ginal minimum requirements can' still qualify for partial payments. For each acre by which they fail to meet the minimum requirements, a deduction will be made in their payment equal to one and a half cimes the rate of the soil-conserving payment on crops other than cot con, tobacco, and peanuts. In North Carolina, the soil-con serving payment, for taking land out of soil-depleting crops and put ting it into soil-conserving crops, will probably be around $10 an acre, except in the case of cotton, tobacco, and peanuts.

In March of 1931, one of the cadets was expelled for ab senting himself from roll call. He came to New York and published a book of poems dedicated to the corps. Most of the West Pointers purchased copies. The author was only 23 at the time, but this w*s his third published book.
