News is in the hands of the

. Examination week at the
school here recently was a nbta
ble success. Compared to form
'er records the failures were com
paratively few. The Btudents,
for the moBt part, are doing very
creditable work. We believe the
faculty -is endeavoring to make
efficiency and thoroughness their
slogan, for often do we hear it
said, "It is impopsible to get by
the teachers unless we know our
subject.
Next Friday night, the 26th,
the school he(e is planning to

A most exciting basket ball
game, notable for its cleanness
and fairness was played here
last Friday afternoon between
the .Woodland-Olney quint and
filch Square High School. Mr.

.minutes of the game the Wood

frightened off their feet and let
the opposing team have things
their own way. When they did

nents, easily keeping the ball at
their own goal, but their weak
point was their failure to cage
the ball when ihey had good
chances. Rich Square far out
classed tbem in throwing goals.
The score was often tied and on
account of this the spectators
were constantly on their toes
from start to finish. The only
unpleasantness noticed was when
the referee restored Joyner of
Rich Square to the game after
he bad been put out of the game
for disputing the referee. It
seems that some of oir boys
thought the faculty manager of
Rich Square school and the ref
eree had forgotten the regula
lions governing this point, for it
is plainly set forth that any play
er, except the captain of the
team, who disputes the referee
shall be put out of the game.
Except for this, a cleaner game
or a more fairly refereed game
was never played on the local
court. Jeering remarks which
so often are in evidence at a
game of this kind were withheld
almost entirely, in iact not a
single remark of that nature was
heard from the Woodland OIney
side. The spirit of wholesome
rivalry was exhibited through
out the same with apparently the
best of feeling existing between
both teams. At the close of the
last half, score stood 2724 in
favor of the visitors. Another
game is to be played between
these two teams Boon on the
Rich Square court. A game is
being arranged for liext Friday
afternoon with some near by
school.
At the Parent-Teacher Meet
ing last Friday night there was
a splendid attendance and a most

ed. Mr. U o. Uunter gave a

spoke on school loyalty. Miss
Clinkscales, our most efficient
Domestic Science teacher, gave
wonderfully interesting and in
structive talk on "The Home as
the Life Center." Miss Clink-
scales showed in a most convinc
ing manner that with the lack of
the proper home training and
the - lack tof parental restraint,
which is evident in so many
homes today, is responsible for
ao many of our boys and .girls
going to the bad. The treasurer
reported that the Association
was out of debt and that it had
to its credit now over $150 00
The Association decided to buy a
moving picture machine from the

cational films, which . will b

DON'T FORGET THE SORUnllX PATCH
Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 22,-It
has always been a good plan to
grow the home supplies and with
the coming of the boll weevil it
is more important than ever that
this should be done before plant
ing for money crops, says P. H.
Kime, of the Division of Agro
nomy, North Carolina Experi
ment Station. Mr. Kime sug
gests that the best policy to fol
low is to grow food supplies, to
cut down the acreage of cotton
and make the same amount of
cotton on fewer acres by culti
vating and fertilizing better.
One source of home supplies
that Mr. Kime states should not
be overlooked is the Horhum
patch. Every farmer should
have his own eorghutn pitch.
Sorghum syrup when properl
made is superior to any cor a
syrup or molasses bought in the
market. It is a good food, rich
in sugar and other carbohy
drates. It is palatable, free
from adulterants, and has a very
fine flavor, he says.
The cost of producing an acre
of sorghum is little more than
for corn, while the returns are
often three to four times as
great, finds Mr. Kime. He says.
"Sorghum will do well whea
given the same treatment as
corn. Preparation of the seed
bed, the fertilizer requirements,
and cultivation are about the
same. Fifty bushels of corn
worth $1.00 p-jr bu9hel is con
sidered a uood. yield, while the
same land should produce 200
gallons of syrup, worth $1.00 per
gallon. Allowing one-thirJ for
making the syrup, we still have
a return of $133 00 per acre from
the sorphum against $50.00 from
the corn. Oue fourth to one
half acre should produce suffi
cient syrup for the average
family.
"The best varieties are Honey
or Japanese Seeded Ribbon, Red
Amber and Sugar Drip. Thee
varieties have been the best
yielders throughout the State.
Taking an average of five teats
in different sections of the State
the yield of syrup was as fol
lows: Honey, 370 gallons per acre
Red Am ber, 319 gallons per acre
Sugar Drip, 224 gallons per acre
"All three of these varieties
do well in the Coastal Plain and
Lower Piedmont sections, but
Honey is the most highly re
commended. Red Amber and
Sugar Drip are recommended for
the mountain section ; the Honey
being too late. The quality of
the syrup from these varieties id
about the same."
Mr. Kime will be glad to hear
from any farmer wanting infor
mation about growing sorghum
and a letter to him at the North
Carolina Experiment Station,
State College Station. Raleigh.
N. C , for bulletins on varieties
and culture of sorghum and also
for seurces of good seed for any
section will receive prompt at
tention.
