The Randolph County Ministerial
[Association met in regular session
lin the Presbyterian church, Ashe
Iboro, Monday, January 4, at 10:30
[a. m. with the president, Rev. E.
Cowan, of Seagrove, presiding.
The association was organized a
little more than a year ago and
now has seventeen members,
velve being present at this meet
hg. There are about sixty minist
ers of varifus denominations serv
ng churches in the county. All of
hese are eligible to membership
the association. One new mem
er, Dr. J. L. Stokes, the new
_stor of the Southern Methodist
(lurches in Randleman, was pre
sent and welcomed into member
ship by vote of the association.
The president, Rev. E. G. Cowan,
»nd Rev. H. M. Stroup of Ramseur
land Franklinville were asked by
(the association to appeal to the
[county commissioners not to grant
f license to any vending machine
that has in its operation an ele
ment of gambling. There seems to
be a number of such machines in
operation in the county. The asso
ciation feels that such machines en
courage gambling, and that there
in, lies the objection to their use.
A paper dealing with the liquor
situation in North Carolina, and
addressed to Governor Clyde Hoey,
was read before the meeting. It
was unanimously endorsed and
ordered sent to the governor.
Officers for the ensuing year
were elected as follows: president,
Rev. H. M. Stroup; vice president,
Rev. M. C. Henderson, Asheboro;
secretary-treasurer, Dr. J. L.
Stokes. Since the beginning of the
association Rev. R. E. Heath has
served as secretary-treasurer. It is
gratifying that he is soon to be a
citizen of the Asheboro com
munity, having recently been called
to the pastorate of the Balfour
Baptist church. The retiring of
ficers rendered efficient service dur
ing their term of administration
and they retire with the full ap

Prophetic was this pose of Charles Mattson, 10, kidnaped Tacoma,
Wash., lad, showing him as captive during a frolic with a playmate on
Christmas Day, 48 hours before he was seized in his home by an ab
ductor. With a cowboy rope given to his companion as a holiday gift,
Charles had allowed his friend to tie him to a tree. Fears for the boy's
life grew, as effort was made to establish contact with his kidnaper
and pay the $28,000 ransom demanded. Monday night police were noti

has been made with the abductors.

Millsaps Says Outlook Is
Bright For County Farmers
County Farm Agent Reports
On Progress Made In 1936, j
Cites Statistics
The farmers of Randolph county i
have enjoyed a very prosperous 1
year in 1936 and are looking for-'
ward to an even better one in 1937.
i No agency has been of more ser
I vice to the farmers of the county
than the county farm office. E. S.
Millsaps, county farm agent, her,
prepared a statistical summary of
the work of his department in
1936, which, prefaced by a survey
of the prospects for 1937, follows:
The outlook for 1937 is the
brightest we have had for many
years. After one year’s experience
with the New Soil Conservation
Program, we find that our farmers
as a whole like it better than any
thing we have tried so far. Through
this program we can get crop con
trol, and at the same time soil
conservation and soil building.
The farmers of the county have
cooperated in every way, and as a
result we have more legumes and
cover cropB seeded this year than
ever beforehand there will be a
much larger acreage seeded to
these crops next year.
The above program also ties in
very nicely with our terrace pro
gram, as credit is given for this
type of work. Our terrace unit has
been busy every day this year, and
we look forward to even greater
demands next year. There are still
several townships that' have not
been touched that are calling for
the work, and the demands for
work from the ones already cover
ed are greater than ever before.
With this situation before us, we
look forward to having our coun
ty fully protected in a few years.
With the greatest demand for
dairy cattle and dairy products this
year, we have had in several years
and the prospect of this condition
continuing, our dairymen are very
much encouraged, and are facing
the New Year with eagerness.

Education Board !
Of County Holds x
Regular Session
Approve Consolidation Of
Charlotte School And Sale !
Of Unused Property
Schools To Be Sold
Will Defer Building Progra
Until Legislature Takes
Definite Action
Meeting in the o. .ce of the sec
retary, T. Fletcher Bulla, in the
county court house Monday after
noon, the Randolph County Board
of Education approved the conso
lidation of Charlotte school, order-,
ed the sale of school property no
longer used for school purposes,
and discussed the new buildings
just completed and possible build
ing for the next year.
If Charlotte school, located of
Highway 90, is consolidated as ap
proved, a portion of its pupils wil'
be transferred to the new Taber-*
nacle school and the remainder tq
the Asheboro city schools. Thij
move will become effective at th<
end of the fourth school month}
about the middle of January, oh
the condition that Asheboro will
accept the Charlotte students as
signed here. The teachers now emf
ployed at Charlotte will go t$
Tabernacle.
This consolidation has been j
made advisable because of the re
duced attendance at Charlotte
school. During the third school
month the average number of chil
dren in daily attendance dropped
below 20.
The board ordered the sale of
the following school houses to*
gether with their lots: Brower's
Chapel, Asheboro township; Shep
herd, Tabernacle township; old
Tabernacle school, Tabernacle
township; Mountain, Union town
ship; Pleasant Ridge, Coleridge
township; Patterson’s Grove,
Columbia township; Davis Moun
tain, Cedar Grove township; and
Marlboro, Sophia, and Glenoid
schools in New Market township.
These ten of the county’s 16 ipv
used school properties are to he
offered for sale now;; the o^hm
are to be sold faiei* on: ~
After discussing whether or not
to undertake any extensive pro
gram of building or repair for the
next year, the board decided to
wait until the state legislature ad
journed to see what new laws
might have been passed that would
either help or hinder such work.
The members felt that to act now
would be moving blindly.
The question of the new build
ings was brought up to discover if
they were fulfilling the purpose for
which they were built, and all re
ports were very favorable. All the
new classrooms are well filled with
pupils and many already have
capacity classes. Practically every
room will be filled to capacity,
Superintendent Bulla said, when
the program of consolidation is
completed.

In order to make sure that per
sons he appoints to positions in
the Department of Agriculture
have some knowledge and are not
merely political favorites, W. Kerr
Scott, incoming commissioner of
agriculture, gave a series of prac
tical examinations on farm ques
tions Saturday throughout the
state.
By this test Scott not only re
ceived an idea of the fitness of the
applicants but also narrowed down
the list of 1,000 job seekers. Many
dropped out as soon as they saw
the questions, without attempting
to take the examination.
The examination consisted of
two parts—one, in arithmetical
tests designed chiefly for those
who wanted jobs in the State’s
statistical division and the other,
the agricultural experience test
designed to show what years, if
any, an applicant had spent on the
farm and how familiar he was
with common farm knowledge.
Here are the questions in the
farm examination.
1. What is the average daily per
cow yield of milk? How much
butter should a gallon of good
cream make?
2. What kind of hens lay the
most eggs? What kind make the
best fryers?
3. Why do fruit trees and
grape vines need to be pruned?
Why are fruit trees sprayed?
4. Why is stiff soil plowed when
wet? Why not plowed when dry
and hard?
5. What vegetables may be
grown in the winter garden ?
Which may be stored untreated for
winter usage?
6. Which of these may be pas
teurized to advantage ? Cider,
grape juice, water, stewed fruits,
soup, sweet milk, buttermilk.
7. What records does the average
farmer keep (check) ? Cost of pro
duction, labor, materials bought,
products sold, dairy production,
field records, household expenses.
Here are the answers, as given
by Frank Parker, chief of the Fed
eral-State Crop Reporting Service.
1. One and eight-tenths gallons.
A little more than two pounds,
and up to two and a half pounds.
2. Lean, hungry-looking hens,
with large vents. Heavy, lazy-look
ing hens.
8. For health, shapeliness, and
fruitfulness. For prevention of di
sease and insect damage.
4. It should not be plowed under
these conditions. It can’t be plow
ed under these conditions. (A trick
question).
6. Those resisting frost—such as
turnips, collards, spinach, onions,
etc. Mostly root crops.
6. Cider, grape juice, and sweet
milk only.
7. The average farmer keeps no
records at all.
