"Farm to Make Living in 1931" j is the slogan of the 1931 campaign, j which is being conducted on a larg- ; I er scale than ever before attempted i by Dean I. 0. Schaub, head of the extension service at N. C. State col- I lege. Dean Schaub is being assisted j by C. A. Sheffield, assistant director ■ and numerous specialists in all lines ■ of farming and livestock enterprises. As a result of last year's "Live ;at-Home" campaign $19,000,000 was) ■ i actually added to the value of the j II food and feed crops in the State. This j , year Governor Gardner has called J I upon the farm counties of the State j ito increase the value of food and "(feed crops by $40,000,000 as a long > i step toward averting economic dis- i ! , I i aster. s j Five teams of extension workers j 1 j are taking part in the campaign and j 1 ] they started their tours of duty from j I the far eastern couties on January 6, (covering five counties, each day.

MONROE, N. C. t 4 fluid ounces. THE FOREST CITY (N. C.) COURIER meetings are being given an elabo rate picture of the 1931 situation, said to be a critical farm period in the history of the State, and what is to be done if the serious problems are to be successfully met. The speakers at the meetings are armed with facts on needed produc tion, shortage where it exists, and a wealth of other information for pre sentation to the people of the coun ties. All this data has been careful ly worked out in detail as it applies to the' individual counties, says Dean Schaub, and guesswork has been eli- minated in arriving at conclusions. Not only the county needs are be ing given attention, but the informa tion is brought down to the family and livestock untis and the amount of food and feed that they will find necessary for consumption during a period of twelve months. Charts and tables snowing the j production of the important food ana j crops in the counties were prepared j I by Mr. Sheffield and his associates! i and these are being presented at the ■ meetings and explained to those at-1 tending. The charts also graphically! reveal shortages; in what crops more j acreage is necessary and give in j actual figures rte amounts which farmers are forced to spend outside on foodstuffs and feeds and also the surpluses and their value in dollars and cents. These charts show in no uncertain terms what the counties must do if they are to feed them selves and keep thousands of dollars j from going outside their own do j mains. ! Reduction of acreage in the so j called leading "money crops", tobac co and cotton, is also being given attention in the campaign. There is nothing to indicate increase in the price which will be paid for these products during 1931, and it is be lieved that (another big crop will prove disastrous to the growers. In this phase of the work Dean Schaub j is being assisted by government ex-! perts and the Federal farm board in addition to the State tobacco spe cialists who are appearing in the main producing counties. The stage is set for a far-reach ing campaign that will continue even after the four weeks of meetings have been concluded. Dean Schaub | and the extension service expect the 1 effort to make 1931 the real turning ' point in the unfolding of a brighter ! | picture for the farm business of the j 100 counties of the State. With the j farmers aware of what is necessary j to bring an improvement in the sit | uation and alert to the dangers of further delay in action it is believed i that Governor Gardner's appeal for i $40,000,000 additional in food and feed will be realized- RUTHERFORD COUNTY HIT BY CRIME WAVE Uutherfordton, Jan. 26.—A crime wave of unusual proportions has been sweeping Rutherford county of late. The recorder's court here has been busy two days in each week hearing theft cases, many of the defendants being bound over to superior court. This week there were 51 men on the county chain gang and 40 pris oners in the county jail. An Unpleasant Subject All of the functions of life are not pleasant to consider. Perhaps this is why some mothers refuse to think that such symptoms as restless sleep, loss of flesh, lack of appetite or itching nose and fingers in their chil dren, can be caused by round or pin worms.Many mothers have proven, j however, that a few doses of White's Cream Vermifuge, that sure and harmless worm expellant, will make these symptoms disappear. You can 1 get White's • Cream Vermifuge for 35 cents per bottle from Peoples Drug Store. Hogs fed according to the Shay plan in Chatham county last season paid an average of $1.70 a bushc-l for all corn fed to them. ! Nash county poultry flocks are i leading the state in egg laying and profits per bird according to recent tabulations by the poultry extension office at State college.

ENJOY BANQUET i Ellenboro Sweet Potato Stor age Company's Sharehold ers Meet and Discuss Problems. Ellenboro, Jan. 26. —Seventy-five of the 100 shareholders for the El lenboro Sweet Potato Storage Com pany attended the annual sweet po tato growers' banquet held at El lenboro last Saturday when the com pany treated its members to a free meal and entertained them with string music. After the banquet had been serv ed by the home economics depart ment of the school the growers were called to conference during which the growers discussed their problems of sweet potato growing for the year. A. B. Bushong, agricultural teacher for the school acted as conference leader. Just after the dessert course con sisting of sweet potato custard was served a financial report of the com pany was read and explained to be followed with the election of officers. Then, Morris Hamrick, Professor Curtis Price and others talked in behalf of the sweet potato company. Music was rendered during the meal by the Hamrick string band. The menu called for the follow ing which m ere produced by farm ers of the community: Baked ham. creamed irish potatoes, candied sweet potatoes, slaw, gravy, rolls with sweet potato custard for dessert. Henrietta-Caroleen * School News Henrietta, Jan. 24. —Mid-term ex aminations have just closed but Sup erintendent Lovelace followed these with Standard achievement tests in order that he might determine where the weakest places were in our stu dents. He plans to care for these by readjusting the work to overcome the weak places during the second semes ter. . The county has been giving these tests heretofore but this year the financies in the county have not per mitted this program to be continued so Mr. Lovelace provided the high school and grammar tests himself in order that the results might not be broken and for the purpose of com parison not only with last year's work | but with standard scores. All scores have notr yet been tabu lated but results thus far are very gratifying. When all papers have been graded graphs will be made for each individual student and also for each grade as a whole. Teachers will study individual cases and plan remedial measures for individuals and for the grade as a whole. A number of students are at work on their debates preparatory for the preliminary contest in selecting teams for the State triangular debate The Twin-High school has represent ed Rutherford county at Chapel Hill two years and hopes to repeat this year. Mrs. Robert Neal will have charge of the debating teams again this year. The Woman's Club has made a do nation to the Elementary schools to buy milk for needy cases of under weight children. This work is a worthy cause and others including the Lions Club are expected to help in this work. Individual records will {be kept of these cases not only of J the gain in weight but also in any j noticeable changes of the children in their work and health habits. The club has helped greatly in providing needy families with books and cloth ing and has thus enabled a numbei to stay in school. k A big crowd is expected at T\hn Hi gymnasium next Thursday nig.it to see the double-header basketball games between Rutherfordton-Spin dale and Twin High. The Twin teams lost to Rutherfordton last Monday but hope to add a game to the win column Thursday night. You will mis two real games if you fail to see this j contest. Mr. Cooper, the coach, has just re- j ceived individual entry blanks ana | plans to fill these out to enter the j State basketball championship again { this year. His team made a fine show ing last year eliminating the strong team that represented Forest City. The Twin Hi team is better this year and hopes to go further than it (lit. last year. \ The extension class of the Univer j sity meets each Monday «ticir.oofi and evening at the Twin Hi school building. Some thirty or more teach ers are taking this work. Others may enter this week. WOMAN'S CLUB SPONSORS RUTHERFORDTON CONCERT Rutherfordton, Jan. 26.—About, 100 people enjoyed the concert at the city hall Thursday evening spon sored by the music department of the Woman's club. Around 30 ladies from the Forest City Woman's club a num ber of members of the local Kiwan is club attended, besides members of the Rutherfordton Woman's club. Prof. Charles E. Burnham, direc tor of music of the First Presbyte rian church of Asheville, was in charge of the program. He was as sisted by Mrs. Adelaide Van Wag ner, soprano; Mrs. Edith Mary Wood, contralto, with Mrs. W. H. Davis, accompanist. . The artists gave selections in French, Italian and Spanish but those in English brought forth the most applause. Dangerous Business Our stomach and digestive systems are lined with membrane which is delicate, sensitive and easily injur ed. It is dangerous business, then, to use medicines containing harsh drugs, salts or minerals, when we are con stipated. In addition to the possibi lity of injuring the linings of our digestive system, these medicines give only temporary relief and may prove habit forming. To relieve constipa tion, take Herbine, the cathartic that is made from herbs, and acts in the way nature intended. You can get Herbine at Peoples Drug Store. Columbus county tobacco growers are standardizing on the Cash var iety this season and are recleaning and treating their seed for disease before planting the beds, reports jcounty agent J. P. Quinerly. FORD SMOOTHNESS The new Ford has more than twenty hall and roller hearings EVIDENCE of the high quality built into the new Ford is the extensive use of ball and roller bearings= There are more than twenty in all an unusually large num ber. Each bearing is adequate in size and carefully selected for the work it has to do. At some points in the Ford chassis you will find ball bearings. At others, roller bearings are used regardless of their higher cost. The deciding factor is the per* formance of the car. The extensive use of ball and roller bearings in the new Ford insures smoother operation, saves gasoline, increases speed and power, gives quicker pick-up, de creases noise, and gives greater reliability and longer life to vital moving parts. Other outstanding features that make the new Ford a value far above the price are the Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield, silent, fully enclosed four-wheel brakes, four Houdaille double-acting hydraulic shock absorb ers, aluminum pistons, chrome silicon alloy valves, three-quarter floating rear axle, Rustless Steel, the ex tensive use of fine steel forgings, and unusual accuracy in manufacturing. LOW PRICES OF FORD CARS $430 to $630 f, o. B. Detroit, plus freight and delivery. Bumpers and spare tire extra at small cost. You can purchase a Ford on economical termi through the Authorized Ford Finance Plans of the Universal Credit Company. 4 It May L f s v ? : §l:4. &, v When Children Ciy for, It Castoria is a comfort when Baby || fretful.
