Early Mailing Of
Christmas Cards
Assures Delivery!
Attention Called To Two-|
Cent Rate On Unsealed
Cards Instead 1 Vic
Start mailing your Christmas
cards. Postmaster Maurice E.
Walsh told local residents to
day.
Greetings for out-of-State
should be in the collection box
es Thursday, Dec. 15, he said.
Cards for local delivery should
be mailed at least the' Thurs
day before Christmas.
Extensive preparations have
been made to handle the ex
pected record flood of Yuletide
mail.' But the Postmaster warned
procrastinators that extended
bad weather could snarl deliver
ies and leave a mountain of un
delivered Christmas cheer on
Christmas Eve.
"It's better for your light
hearted Christmas cards to ar
rive a few days early," he coun
selled, "than for it to limp in
the day after Christmas."
The Postmaster warned that
Christmas cards mailed with
1% cent stamps are being re
turned stamped "Insufficient
Postage." The rate for unsealed
third-class mail is now 2 cents
Cards sent third class may
not be forwarded or returned,
without payment of additional
postage. The Postmaster stated
that large numbers of 1949
Christmas cards are liable to
end up in the Dead Letter Of
fice due to incomplete or incor
rect addresses.
If you're not sure of the ad
dress. a 3 cent stamp entitles
your Christmas greeting to
first-class postal service. The
card will be forwarded from one
address to another, or if the
envelope bears your return ad
dress, the card will be returned
to you if the addressee can't be
located, without additional
charge for postage.

Supply Of Certified
Seed Corn Increases
A good supply of certified
seed corn will be available to
North Carolina farmers for plant
ing next spring, according to
Dr. R. P. Moore, director of the
North Carolina Crop Improve
ment Association^ at State Col
lege.
A record of 5,580 acres of
hybrid corn met certification re
quirements in the State this
year, Dr. Moore said. Inspectors
approved for ce tification fields
on 313 farms. Main purpose of
field inspections is to see that
seed corn fields ar| properly iso
lated to prevent cross-pollina
tion and impure seed.
One or more fields of the fol
lowing hybrids were certified:
Dixie 17, N. C. 27, N. C. 1032,
U. S. 282, N. C. T-20, W. Va.
1163, Tenn. 10, N. C. 26, N. C.
5-23.
Scotland county led in num
ber of acres certified. Five grow
ers in Scotland had 1621 acres
of hybrids approved. Beaufort
county was second with 310
acres approved on five farms.
Six growers in Halifax county
had 257 acres approved, 14
Rowan growers had 250 acres,
and seven Nash growers had 243
acres.
Four hundred acres of seven
open-pollinated varieties were
also approved for certification.
The seven varieties are Latham
Double, Jarvis Golden Prolific,
Biggs Two-Ear, Southern Beau
ty, Holcombe Prolific, Indian
Chief, and Cocke Prolific. Hoke
county led with 110 acres ou
three farms. Two Beaufort Coun
ty growers had 95 acres approv
ed, and two Edgecombe grow
ers had 60 acres aDproved.
Dr. Moore said there is mark
ed improvement in the process
ing and handling of seed corn
this year. Many new artificial
dryers have been installed. The
required moisture content for
certified seed corn is 15 per
cent.
100 Chicks Will Pay
For Year At College
A 12-year-old 4-H Club girl
who has just completed her
1949 poultry project says the re
turns from 100 chicks .will pay
a year's expenses at college.
The girl is Ellen Barrow of
Jones County, whose project was
supervised by G. T. Wiggins,
assistant county agent for the
State College Extension Service.
Following Is an account of
Ellen's project work in her own
words:
"The chicks given me were
properly taken care of with on
ly three dying. I have furnished
chickens and eggs for family use
which paid for the grain fed to
them. Ten chicks were cockerels
which I sold for $15, and 12
were returned to the farm agent
to be sold.
"The remaining 78 have laid
11,016 eggs, 8,719 of which I
sold for $365.80. I received $10
prize money. I had enough mon
ey to pay for the starting and
growing mash.
i "After all the expenses have
been deducted and I sell the re
maining chickens, I will have
enough money to purchase five
$100 government bonds, which I
| believe will pay my tuition,
room, and board for one year in
college.''
o?
North Carolina will produce
about 41 million pounds of les
pedeza seed this year, compared
with 36 million in 1948 and about
32 million for the 1948-47 aver
age. About 75 per cent of the
seed crop is Korean lespedeza,
and about 20 per cent Koke.
