STOCK MARKET GOES TO HIGHEST LEVELS SINCE FALL OF 1931 New York, June 2.—The stock market showed a burst of speed today reminiscent of gala days of 1929 and scores of shares spurt ed to new high levels for the year and longer in a barrage of transactions that, for a time, swamped the ticker tape. Trans actions totaled 6,862,660 shares. While stocks of all categories recorded' net gains of $1 to *10 as the buying pace gained mo mentum near the close, secon dary bonds joined the upswing with an enthusiasm that sent many of them to new 1933 peaks with net advances ranging from $10 to $16 or more per $1,000 par value issue. Most commodi ties were firm, but not buoyant, grains following an exceedingly narrow range. The American dol lar was only a laoderate loser in foreign exchange markets. Commission houses, generally expecting a technical reaction, watched the recently lagging utilities turn upward near the noon hour. Leaders of other groups lost little time In follow ing. At various periods the tape was several minutes behind trans actions on the floor of the stock exchange and blocks of 1,000 to 10,000 shares appeared frequent ly as traders rushed to "get aboard.” Billion Dollar Saving Is Expected By President Miss Ennis Minton, of High Point, visited her parents, Mr. a.id -Mrs. Joel Minton last week.

Washington, June 2.—Presi dent Roosevelt believes a billion dollar savings in government ex penditures is in sight and expects a re-organization of' the depart ments to eomplete this goal. As a part of the wholesale shakeup of government bureaus now in progress, it was disclosed at the White House that the staff of about 170 foreign commercial agents is to he reduced to 50 and transferred fronj the com merce to the state department. While going ahead with reor- ganizazUon, Mr. Roosevelt re gards the savings to be accom plished by that proces.s compara tively neglible. The big slashes he believes have already been made and he is confident they will bring the budget down next year to within $120,000,000 of the dwindled receipts. In geueral it is the view at the White House that the Demo cratic pledge for a 25 per cent cut in government costs is being accomplished under the following savings: Four hundred and fifty million dollars in reduced departmental expenditures for next year; $400,- 000,000 in revision of veterans’ allowances and $12,000,000 through cuts in government sal- .aries. This accounting is expected by the president to stand up even though some modifications are to be made in the reductions in vet erans’ allowances. f llie County Agent’s Bushwss J M V (Tennessee Farm Journal) -Somettan'es someone t b i n ks- that there is no place in our p#ff lie service for the county agent.- As a rule, that sort ot opinion ia honest one.

Roses Respond To Soil Preparation Principal Factor in Success ful Rose Garden Is Pre pared Soil The principal factor in having a successful rose garden lies in preparing the soil carefully and keeping the bushes protected with spray. In the spring of 1932, G. O. Randall, floriculturist at State college, decided to have a rose garden on the agricultural cam pus. Using student labor large ly, he set some 300 plants of about 30 different varieties both as a test of the varieties and as a test of growing conditions. The plants were set In early spring In soil that had been carefully prepared. A good ap plication of decayed manure was mixed with the soil before the plants were set. Later, a small handful of a 7-5-5 fertilizer was applied around each bush. The first application was carefully worked into the soil about the first week in May. A second ap plication Iwas made In the same manner in early July. This treat ment, he said, made a healthy, vigorous growth. However, Randall found that he must protect the roses with the right sort of spray. . The Bordeaux mixture and' sodium thiosulphate were used. The latter material, known commer cially as Hypo, was used at the rate of one tablespoonful to three gallons of water and gave protection from rose mildew and other leaf diseases. The Bor deaux mixture was used for con trol of blackspot, mildew and other diseases. The only draw back to using the Bordeaux is that it will discolor the buds. Hypo does not do this. Randall protected the roses from plant lice and aphids by spraying with a solution of nico tine sulphate made by mixing one tablespoonful to three gal lons of water. As a result the college rose garden has present ed a beautiful sight this season. a rule, and a big rule at that, the county agent doesn't undertake to teach farmers "bow to farm.” As a rule the farmer doesn’t need to be taught the whole field of farming. V As a rule it’s not cessary to go hack to the A B C’s of farming and go, step by step, through the whole book of farm ing. In other words, almost all farmers know so ^ much about farming that they don’t need to be taught “how to farm” by any body. But that’s not saying that the advice of a county agent isn’t needed. While most farmers know enough about farming to say, and say honestly, that they know “how to farm,” still It’s just as true:—and good farmers recognize it—that no farmer knows all that’s Included In the business of farming. In short, the farmer’s knowledge is short somewhere. And here’s where the county agent comes In. He comes in to help, to reinforce the farmer. The county agent and the farmer together should know just about all there is to know about farming. Farm Doctor The county agent bears the same relationship to the farm and the farmer as the family physician bears to the farmer and his family. The farmer and his wife know a lot about the health of their children. But, they don’t know it all. Some times they have occasions to use I the family physician. And then they call him. When they do call | the family physician they don’t; expect him to teach them all, about health.” They expect con crete service and nothing more., They expect him to tell them j about measles, if it's measles j they have; or about whooping cough, if It’s phorfplng cough | they have; or about ear ache. i^. passenger cars and tm’cks ih the first qngrter this year ' ac counted to/ 37.2 per cent of the total of the Industry and i ex ceeded the combined registra tions of the next three leading makes, according to'a statement released today by the Chevrolet Motor company. In the three months Chevrolet titled 96,621 new units as com pared with 47,569 new cars and trucks for the^econd-pace make, 29,832 for the third, and 14,354 for the four-place holder, anoth er General Motors caj* In a higher price range than the first three, the statement read. Of Chevrolet’s total registra tions for the first quarter, 14,- 278 were truck units represent ing 45.6 per cent of all trucks registered by the industry in the period. The total compares with 7,956 trucks titled by the second leading manufacturer, it was claimed. Every one of the first three months shows a surprisingly uni form number of Chevrolet regis trations, the banking situation late In February and March neu tralizing the normal seasonal upturn at that time. In January, Chevrolet registered 34,809 units, in the shorter month of Febru ary 30,441, and in March with its banking troubles, 31,371. In the first quarter the indus try registered 259,376 new units in the domestic market. Chevro let’s percentage of 37.2 of the total compares with 35.7 in the same period last, year, the state ment observed. ' "t. Ice Boxes I Cheap' ALL SIZES READY NOW. SEE W- B.

Daily News: “The home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. A. Sherburne wa.s the scene of an attractive marriage cere mony Saturday afternoon at 3 o’clock. May 13th—the contract ing parties being their daughter, Isobel, well known in Woburn, and Aaron Sanders Harris, of Boone, North Carolina. “The bride entered' on the arm of her father. Mrs. Charles B. Elliot, of Washington, D.' C., sis ter ot the bride, was matron of honor, and Mr. Fraser A. Sher burne was the best man. The bride carried a large shower bouquet of white roses and lily of the valley. The matron, at tractively gowned in dark brown organdy, carried talisman roses. Miss Sally Elizabeth Sherburne, niece of the bride, acted as train- bearer. "An Informal recepHon follow ed the ceremony, after which Mr. and Mrs. Harris took a train for New York, en route to Boone, N. C., stopping over In New York and Washington for several days. "The Rev. C. C. Garland, of the Methodist Episcopal church, officiated at the ceremony.” don’t expect the faanily physic!-1 an, all in one-call, or in a lif^ i time for that matter, to tell them all about measles, whooping cough, ear ache, tuberculosis, diphtheria, in-growing toe nails, broken bones, toothache, vita mins, appendicitis, colds, and a thousand other things which pes ter the human body. No they don’t expect all that knowledge at once. They want the knowl edge, as well as the medicine, in broken doses. The only thing the family expects of the physi cian is that he be competent to deal with the immediate trouble, or tell them where the trouble can be handled. So it is with the county agent. He shouldn t be expected to prescribe for the whole far.’n on any one visit. That would be too much treatment, too, much prescription, all at once. He should he in position, though, to help where and when help is needed. And that’s exactly what he is equipped to do. And when farmers, and business men, come to look upon him and his service in that light there’ll be no more | question arising in the mind of' anybody as to whether or not the county agent is a real public serv ant. How .He Helps To be specific the county agent should be sailed in to help farmers deal with; Building an.up-to-date poultry house. Spraying the orchard by thi latest method. Putting the best and 'cheapest commercial fertilizer under speci fic crop. Building a sanitary and cheap hog house. Buying pure seed.
