Young Mr. Blevins was winner in this district. The yield is perhaps the largest ever obtained from an acre of land in Wilkes county and should show what is possible on Wilkes soils, agricultural authorities say. A record com crop that yielded 136.8 bushels from an acre of land last year has won for Howard llortin, 16, Clay county 4-H club boy, a four-year scholarship to State College. This was approximately 7^i timas as great a yield as the State average of 18.5 bushels per acre, said L. R. Harrill, 4-H club leader at State Collcg:e. Martin won the State 4-H corn- growing contest for 1936. The scholarship was awarded by the Barrett Company to the North Carolina 4-H club member making the best record over a period of one or more years, Harrill added. The cost of producing the record crop was only 19-8 cents a bushel. His profit was $109.68. In November, 1935, Martin took a tractor and plowed to a deoth of 12 inches an acre of land where rye had been grown. Then on April 23, 1936, he harrowed the field, and the next day he planted Hol combe’s Prolific seed com. He ap plied 150 pounds of fertilizer and 100 pounds of nitrate of soda. The Barrett Company also gave three one-year scholarships to the boys who won first place in their districts but dul not win the State contest. They are: Charles Coats, of Johnson coun ty, northea.stcrn district winner, who produced 119 bushels of corn to the acre. Edwin Blevins, of Wilkes count.v, northwestern dis trict winner, 116-7 bushels per acre. Reger Pollock, of Jones county, sout’o.a.stern district win ner, 82.5 bu.shels. Howard Martin won the south western district and the State con test, Harrill pointed out.

Or how would you feel tr go to St. Louis, a city of 885,00. and find every inhabitant injured. In fiffiteen years automobiles have killed more ' jple than Am erica lo.st in all the nation’s wars in a history of 169 years. A quar ter of a million people have been killed in wars in the nation's his tory, while rntorr.obiles in the past 15 year.s have killed almost half a million and Ihe menace , grows greater yearly. Vfho will be the ne:t victim? The automobile was dc.scribed as a menace greater than war and the greateit killer in .-nodem civiliza- tioi.. '~'l .1. are three elements, the illuscrj'.ted picture said, which are responsible for accidents—car, road and driver. With cars being im proved from the standpoint of safe- “.jy every' year, mechanical defects cause only about five per cent of accidents. Reads are being im proved and they are crossed off as a major cause. The greatest fault then lies in the driver, and the gteering wheel is graphically de scribed as the wheel of chance. Fate and chance were' empha sized throughout the picture and after the gruesome toll of automo biles were portrayed in words and pictures that can be grasped and understood it went on to toll how many industries using trucks had Tv-hiced accidents while the suto- Broi^i)**^ oppijuputs Hk^ o^aiiM sure vldaory In tW Seaatej.iast 'night on P^ldefit Roose^g^’s party-sha^t^iftc poaal /!^ f revise the^-i.i Court;^^.* Wfbnb the President , himself continued to receive a procession of Senators in hU private office, discussing the Isspe, Senator Sherman Minron (D.) of Indiana, declared: “There is not the slightest doubt the proposal will pass.

In a check-up on ourselves, the picture said use three yardsticks— preparedness, carefulness and cour tesy. These were emphasized as the three essentials of every safe driver. In conclusion, the golden rule, “do unto others as yon would have them do unto you," was made applicable to automobile and truck driving. Prior to the program many guests were recognized, and H. W. Horton, a guest of J. C. Reins, spoke briefly about advertising the town and county, suggesting a small folder with a number of scenes of scenic interest.
