Bank Of Coleridge
Locates Its Home
Office, Ramseur
Discontinues Institution At
Coleridge And Moves In En
tirety To Ramseur.
Is Strong Bank
Q„e Of Most liquid Banks In
mate; Ramseur People Pleas
ed Over The Move.
The Bank of Coleridge, of Cole
ridge, has been moved to Ramseur
sad the office at Coleridge discon
tinued. Garland W. Allen, cashier,
js in charge of the bank.
The Coleridge bank opened a
branch in Ramseur on April 2nd,
with Mr. Alien in charge, leaving
Miss Scotten in charge of the Cole
ridge office. However, at a recent
meeting of the board of directors it
to deemed the best interests of the
bank to move it in entirety to Ram
aeor for a broader field of business.
This bank has enjoyed a steady
g^rth from its beginning only a
few years ago, and while it was
sever one of the large banks of the
rtate, it was one of the most liquid
and after the national banking holi
day experienced no difficulty in re
opening when the ban was lifted.
Knee opening a branch at Ramseur,
deposits in the bank have increased
by approximately $88,000, and assets
likewise have increased. The bank is
now—as are all banks in operation
-entirely liquid. It has deposits of
1138,108.57, with loans totaling $54,
332.87. Cash on hand and due from
approved depository banks amount to
3128,348.67, to which should be add
ed $34,438.36 in North Carolina bonds
and notes and $1,200 in government
notes. The bank has a capital and
surplus of $30,000. Total assets ef
the institution amount to $168,451.08.
Ramseur people have been quickly
responsive to the services offered by
tte Bank of Coleridge, as is attested
in toe healthy growth of deposits
since the bank opened a branch there.
Prior to opening of the Ramseur
branch, the Coleridge bank served a
wide clientele of people In Ramseur
and vicinity, and the institution is
not i new one to the community.

Branch Office Is
Opened For Sale
Of License Plates
Motorists Can Now Obtain Li
cense Plate Service Without
Any Inconvenience.
Randolph county motorists may
now obtain the same service as for
merly in obtaining state automobile
license plates. A branch office of
the Carolina Motor Club has been
opened in the J. P. Gamer, Inc.,
building on South Fayetteville street
with Mrs. J. C. Senter in charge. Not
only state license plates may be ob
tained here, but any service or infor
mation relative change or transfer of
titles, etc., may be obtained from Mrs.
Senter. The half-year license plates
are on sale now and may be had upon
application to Mrs. Senter. Carolina
Motor Club memberships may also be
obtained at the same office.
This branch office will be open
every day in the week and will afford
the same service to motorists that
was obtained in former years when
the club office was located at the
Gamer place and more later at the
armory on church street. Since the
office was discontinued early in the
year, local motorists halve had to go
to High Point or Greensboro to obtain
services offered by the Carolina
Motor Chib, and, since the number of
license plates sold in Randolph is of
no small moment, this was quite an
inconvenience. Local motorists will
welcome this new service.

TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS
ASKED AND ANSWERED
Question: What can be done to
control Black Spot on rose bushes ?
Answer: The organism causing this
disease makes the most of its devel
opment within the leaf and is there
fore out of reach of any spray ap
plied to the surface. It is necessary,
therefore, that the leaves be coated
with a 4-4-60 Bordeaux mixture or
with a fine grade of dusting sulphur
at all times. This will kill the spores
before they infect the leaf. The first
application should be made when the
leaves open in the spring and subse
quent applications as often as neces
sary to keep the foliage well covered.
Question: When should cockerels be
capo nixed for the Easter market?
Answer: It usually takes from eight
to eleven months to properly develop
and finish a capon with the vigor of
the bird at the time of operation,
care following the operation and the
ration fed being principal factors in
this time variation. As a general rule
the birds should be capo nixed from
mid-June until the first of August.
This will allow for proper develop
ment in time for the national market.
Caponizing at this time takes the late
hatched cockerels off the local mark
et when broiler prices are usually
low.
Question: How much grain should
be fed the dairy cow in addition to
pasturage?
Answer: A cow grazing on good
pasture and producing more than
seventeen pounds of milk should be
fed a grain ration containing from
IS to 16 per cent digestible protein
at the rate of one pound to each five
to seven pounds of milk produced
daily. This amount of grain will us
ually be sufficient as a supplement to
good pasture and will maintain the
animal in good flesh and permit of
wtavtmum milk production.

will work under President Frank
Graham who is known to favor the
policy of the head of the Greater
University. The three new men will
take their places without any delay
whatever. The selection by Presi
dent Graham is said to be unanimous
ly approved by a special committee
of the board of trustees.
These apopintments are a result of

versity here since Dr. Graham was
made president of the consolidated
school. He has been executive sec
retary since 1926 and those duties
will be combined with the deansfaip
