G. Butner The life of one of North WilkesboroV best citizens ended abruptly Wednesday mirht when M. G. Butner, for 12 years manager of the Duke Power company branch here, was tragically and instanOy killed in an automobile accident. He was a higrhly esteemed citizen who held the respect of his company’s custom ers and ail his associates. But even in view of the fact that he was highly respected by all the people here and all who spoke of him did so in respect ful manner, it is quite probable that few people knew, or paused to think, just what his life and work had accomplished for ^VlTilkes county, and particularly the rural communities His company sent him to North Wilkes- boro from Winston-Salem and although he was governed to a certain extent by the policies of the company, he had, compara tively speaking, a free rein to do as he judged best for the territory the public utility served. He lived and worked with the people, gaining an understanding of kheir needs and desires. And this knowledge gained from living among the people was evidenced in the way he rendered service. Service was the key note of M. G. But- ner’s life. No conversatoin with him would go for long without mention of the word or something pertaining to it. He was truly devoted tw the principle of rendering a service beyond reasonable reproach. Not only was this in evidence in his busi ness life, but in church and civic activity i as weii. Wilkes county today stands near the top top among rural counties in North Caro lina in rural power lines. With dur knowl edge of the power business locally and elsewhere, we do not hesitate in giving much of the credit to Mr. Butner. Mr. Butner worked with the rural people in their efforts to secure electric service. When the people of a community would call on him and ask that the lines be ex tended to within reach of their homes he gave them a promise to do what could be done for their cause and we do not believe That he ever failed to do his utmost and fulfill his promises in full. He did not stop with filing the applica tion with the company’s main office. If the application failed becau.se the pro posed line did not appear to have sufficient load to make the investment pay he would ‘study the proposal wdth a view of ascer taining its future possibilities. Thus we see that his life was not one of lip service but of con.structive effort for the people with and near whom he lived. Mr. Butner was public spirited. He be lieved in cooperating fully wit’n projects which he thought to be consiii uctive and progressive and which would benefit North Wiikesboro and Wilkes county. His mind was keen and alert. Hi.s spirit was hospitable and kindly. He greeted all with a smile which was ganuiue. He was always glad to greet you and happy when he was able to be of service. The people of tbds section will always feel kindly toward the life of M. G.

No sensible eUrainated or simpli- j person believes them, but there must be a lot of the other sort of flolka or advertisers wouldn’t keep on paying for radio time to advertise their nostrums. Much has been said about the educa tional value of radio programs, but most of the ao-called educational programs we have listened to have been pretty dull stuff. The truth is that the radio business, lik« the movies, is a branch of the show bur.i- neas, whose chief concern is to entertain. And, goodness knows, this distress^ old world needs all the entertainment it can get.

In stead of being broadcast or placed below or too far from the row, says C. B. Williams, head of the State College Agronomy Depart ment. When fertilizer in large amounts is placed under, above or around the seed or seedling at the time of planting, early injury will occur under certain moisture conditions, he added. Citing the results of field tests by the State Colege Elxperlment Station, Prof. Wiliams said ferti lizer to the side of the row—in stead of mixed in the row—gave average acre increases of 104 pounds of seed cotton, 29 bushels of potatoes, and 165 pounds of to bacco. In comparison with plots where fertilizer was in ibauda one inch under the seed or seedling roots, side placements increased yields of seed cotton 253 pounds per acre, potatoes 38 bushels per acre, and tobacco 155 pounds per acre. At this time of the year, when many farmers are applying ferti lizer, it is wise for them to heed the results of fertilizer-placement tests conducted by other farmers, under the supervision of the Kx- periment Station, the agronomist stated. ‘ We recommend that the near er fertilizer can be placed to the seed—without injury to germina tion—the more effective it is, but if applications are heavy to heavy, it is safest to put Good Results Ernest Lewis of Webster re ports excellent results from the use of one ton of lime which he applied on grass and clover that was seeded to small rrain la.st spring, reports G.
