ttm. fa. C. Hammer, Publisher ami /? Business Manager. Harriette Hammer Walker, Editor Wat 0. Hammer Estate, Owners. Thursday, March 17, 1932. Watered as second class mail matter 1 m Mae postoffice at Asheboro, N. C j LO, THE POOR RODENT! Greensboro is in arms against rats this week with a member of the U. S. department of agriculture in charge of the fight. The city health officer has been preparing for several flays in advance of the war mixing poison ous bait. The active campaign is being waged in the business district of the town principally where the rats have made their appearance in Targe and objectionable numbers. There is complaint of rats in Ashe horo as well as Greensboro. Some thing should be done here also—but just what is a problem. Perhaps the expert might be secured for Asheboro or a petition might be sent in to the cats of the town. Such an occurrence ; as is now in progress in our neigh- ' boring towns does not compliment th-;j cats, and unless the feline of Ashe j boro wake up and get on their jobs o- ’ make due excuses, other steps must j be taken in this town. Now that the ! matter is publically called to the at- j tention of the cats, let them act o: j stand disgraced »rs the r ca‘ neighbors of Greensboro. CANNED MUSIC Since the whole country has had a collective ear turned toward the radio hoping to hear of tho recovery of the Lindbergh child, a splendid opportuni ty has been given the public to realize just what is being broadcast. People who do not make a habit of listening to radio programs have, on account of their interest in this kidnaping, sat through program after program ot “cheap” music. Such programs as clutter the air are not the exception, but pretty nearly the general rule. A few times there have been some worth while speeches and some good music scattered around in pots, but at several stations silly dialogues blare forth wh le the public sit disgusted. Surely there are people who like this sort of thing or the radio manag ers would not be allowed to thrive, but on the other hand, there are a large group of people who would be only too glad to sit down to worth while music, and discussions of mat ters of public interest. Just what pressure might be brought to bear on these managers toward better pro grams ? It has quite certain that public opinion, and this alone, will work the change. ADVICE IS CHEAP The list of those who do not choose to run for Governor of our state is increasing, leaving three leading can- 1 didates who have definitely announc ed their intentions. Several of those who have stated that they will not enter the race have outlined a pro gram or platform upon which theyj would have stood. This should have, no weight upon the minds of the pub- \ lie, these men are not running and are only entitled to their personal views and one vote in the coming primary. They don’t want the of- ■ fice, or have decided not to run there fore it is not theirs to dictate. The candidates who have announced are men who have minds of their own and have programs of their own and the voters of the state should weigh the men who are running in the balance rather than measuring them by a yardstick set by someone who is not in the race. Governor Gardner, in addressing the state meeting of the Daughters of the American Revolution -at Durham last, week offered some pointers. He spoke from experience, therefore his words have some weight. He said in part: “This is not the time to follow the man who hovers. Beware the patriot who appealing for votes hovers over the prejudices of each individual voter and promises everything to every j man. Make him light, make him fly, | don’t let him hover . . . You will find i candidates for office this year who ^ will seek to arouse prejudice as they | appeal for a restoration of the status quo. My views are that there are few things that cannot be improved. . . . I am ready and willing to follow that man who offers something better, more just, more efficient. If I were called upon to name the next gover nor, with the knowledge of the un precedented responsibilities which confront him, 1 would name the ablest, the fairest, the most fearless, the most courageous man available and then pray that he live through the four years of hia term.” GARDNER DECLINES TO APPOINT THREE JUDGES Governor Gardner has announced he will not appoint judges to fill the three vacanies in Superior Court judges in the State. There have been two vacancies for more than a year, with a third added recently. I a statement Saturday, Governor Gard ner declared he would not fill thes» vacancies unleu five administration of justice in the State required it Leav ing the Jobs vacant saves the tax payers approximately *24,000 a year. George WA%nk% 70, prominent Chevrolet Dealers To Launch Service Campaign March 28 Designed To Improve Appear ance And Operation Of Chev rolet Cars In Use Detroit, Mich., Mar. 14.—A spec'al service campaign of interest to the more than 4,000,000 Chevrolet owners in the United States is to be launch ed on a national scale by Chevrolet dealers beginning March 28, M. D. Douglas, general parts and service manager of the Chevrolet Motor Com pany, announced here today. Designed to improve the operation and appearance of cars now in own- j ers’ hands, the campaign will have! the further effect of adding to thei safety of the highways by insuring! against any possible mechanical de- j fects in those cars serviced during1 the campaign, Mr. Douglas pointed j out. Some vital operation, ranging from* brake adjustments to wheel alignment and complete tightening of every part of the chassis, is to be offered by the j dealers at sizable reductions from the flat rate charge, for a period of one week only dur.ng the campaign. Tea such featured services, all having to lo with appearance and performance, are in the campaign, which extends over a period of ten weeks. National newspaper advertising, as1 well as special newspaper campaigns for the dealer’s local use, are to pub- \ licize the event and the featured ser vices each week. Radio announce-] jeents on a national and local scale; also are to be v?e<J, lJr"r. "Douglas pointed out that the] special rates during tbs campaign will | *nduee many people, who otherwise 1 might not have their car service, to heck at least vital pouts pertaining; to performance before they get out j >n the highways during the heavy I notoring season. MAY HAVE OUTBREAK OF DOWNY MILDEW' Tobacco growers who recall the severe outbreak of downy mildew or blue mold in their tobacco plant beds last spring would be wise in keeping a sharp outlook for the trouble again this year. Dr. S. G. Lehman, plant disease specialist for the North Carolina Ex periment Station, reports a bed in Robeson county affected and because of the prevalence of the trouble last season, he looks for another epidemic this season. This disease spreads rapidly when weather conditions are favorable and its early appearance this year as compared with last sea son gives cause for some worry. Downy mildew was found in the Robeson county plant bed on February 22. Last year the first trouble was j reported during the third week in April. Th's shows the disease is ap-j pearing some two months earlier than : last year and means that growers j should begin to inspect their beds re- j gularly now, says Dr. Lehman. The mild weather prevailing through most of the late winter and the abund ant occurrence of the disease in so many plant beds in 1931 means that there may be a large quantity of over-wintering diseased material from which the disease may get a new start this season. The forward development of the trouble in Geor gia and the early re-appearance in this State also indicates the oppor tunities for an early start Dr. Lehman advises good ventilation and thorough drainage for the plant may be kept dry. Where the dis ease appears, he suggests that the affected plants be destroyed and the others sprayed with Bordeaux mix ture. Some insecticide may be used j with the Bordeaux to keep down the flea beetles and other insects. Definite instructions about how t ), spray the beds and control the dis ease will be given to any one who wil! write to Dr. Lehman for the informa tion. Leroy Martin, secretary to the board of equalization, says the state has funds in hand to complete the six months constitutional school term, and that teachers will be paid in full just as soon as all budgets are balanc ed. Extended terms, he says, will run their full length generally over the state. • ji.. —L— Hie Open Forum [ —--' PRESENTS PROF.

Franklinville, March 14. i NOTHING SUPERNATURAL ABQVT “MYSTERY” LIGHT] Editor Courier I have been Very interested jto Ihc articles and comments appearing in your paper regarding the mysterious light that is being seen among a cer tain group of mountains near Ashe 1 boro. ' I have heard several people tell of 1 seeing the light and describing its appearance and actions. I hear that th s phenomena is attracting people from many parts of the country, an< I although some of them do not g> i away disappointed, the nightly crowd i is proving a nuisance to some of th> people living in the neighborhood. Although this strange appearance i is probably due to some atmospheric 1 condition peculiar to that section, r | it contnues to show a scientist or ! someone versed in such things should be called upon to solve the “mystery.” ; Some people seem to attack a re ligious significance to this light and | to regard it as a “warning” to some S ore, and others draw upon their ima | gination regarding it, but personal | ly, I don’t think there is anything su i peraatural about it. —MISS EDITH SAWYER.

SALE WILL BE HELD ON THE PREMISES 8 MILES WEST OF AShEBORO. A. P. NANCE ASHEBORO, ROUTE 2, N. C. On McCrary and Dixon Streets WATER and SEWER on BOTH STREETS BARGAIN PRICES Thera is still money to be made on tobacco if; a farmer will uae bis head as well as his muscles. This was proven during1 the last season by W. R. Boyles, prosperous tobacco farm er of New Market township, who sold a crop from four acres of intensely cultivated land for just a little less than $1,000. The crop consisted of 5,010 pounds of high quality, good weight leaf, sold on the Winston Salem market at an average of 22.27 cents per pound. Tobacco growing, Mr. Boyles holds, is a highly specialized science, but one that rnn be practiced by any farmer who has good tobacco land and a fair amount of patience. A Scientific Business In an interview given recently and published in the Winston-Salem Jour nal, Mr. Boyles advised that the first precaution of a tobacco farmer should be to select the best grade tobacco seed for planting and the finest quali ty of fertilizer. Without these the cultivator will bo wasting his later efforts. Mr. Boyles said, “Personal ly I never use anything but Cash to bacco and 8-8-3 fertilizer. I have found that Cash tobacco is best adapt ed to the soil found in Piedmont belt and it produces a better cigarette leaf, which is the chief demand in this sec tion. I would advise growers never to use less than 8-3-3 fertilizer.” Mr! Boyles’ $1,000 crop this year was; grown in a grey loamy soil of excel-* lent tobacco rt£„,erf!. For many ytears Mr. Boyles has tjrgwn the ntoSi '’V.-rative tobacco Tops jrt ^Ubdolph county. Many of the U0>£l;boring farmers have repeat edly put in more acreage than Mr. Boyle®, but usually they discovered at the end of the season that his few acres have netted a bigger return than their man when placed on the market. “My advice to every farmer is to plant less acreage and make a better quality,” asserted Farmer Boyles. “Tobacco is a crop that re quires constant attention and delicate handling, and no man should over i plant his ability to tend.” Curing Important Curing tobacco i s very important,! but there are other things far more necessary to the production of good j qual'ty and good weight tobacco, J which are the ma n things taken intoj consideration by buyers, according to, Mr. Boyles. Three importer* "secrets” revealed by Mr. Boyles in his success with to- j bacco are: first, watch the plant! beds; second, becareful in the setting; i and third, give the plants the right j cultivation after they begin to gTOw. j Of these three he said the plant j bed is most important. He caution- j ed particularly against working i plant beds wet. Be sure they are dried out thoroughly before you turn a hand among the tiny plants, he! said. Mr. Boyles yaNf stressed the draw ing of plants. Woe sure you draw uni form plants of the same size and ap parently the same healthiness. If! posible let one man do all the draw- [ ing. Too many people rush in and set out plants of all desor ptions and sizes in order to get them out quick ly. This is a serious mistake, as it often results in the larger plants AFTER WEAKENING SICKNESS Ir you are run-down, or suffer from a weakened condition,—take Cardui, a medicine used by women for over fifty yeans. As your health Improves, you will share the enthusi asm of thousands of others who have praised Cardui for the benefits they have felt after taking It. “I had a spell of sickneaB which left me very run-down and weak,” writes Mrs. D. L. Beckner, of Elll* ton, Va. "I was not able to do my housework. I ached all over my body. My back and sides gave me a lot of trouble. A friend of mine told me to try Cardui. I took It for several months and I got strong and well.” Sold at all good drug stores. n-i* CARDUI Helps Women ! shooting op rapidly and stunting the growth of smaller plants and It re sults in a great loss of energy in looking after the crop later on, he de clared. Cultivate Carefully Cultivation of the crop after it has been set out should also be done very carefully. In the opinion of Mr. Boyles, many farmers are guilty of over-cultivating. “After the feed roots get into the balk, quit ploughing,” he said. “I always try to plough four times, but if I get behind in my work and the feed roots get out before I get to the fourth ploughing, I always let three ploughing* suffice.” After tobacco is full grown and ready for harvest is no time to cease your vigilance. Tobacco requires con stant attention right up to the mo ment it is placed on the floor of the warehouse, according to Mr. Boyles. In the harvesting and curing of the golden leaf one should always em Many farmers produce kb inferior quality because they let their work pile up on them and do not hire ex tra help when the need arise*. As a result their crops suffers when pay off time comes around, stated Mr. Boyles. HONOR ROLL Following is the honor roll sixth month of the Ashebono city schools: I 1st Grade—Lawrence Cox, John H.
