PAGE TWO THEBEAUFORT NEWS THU RSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1931 I xhm::"X:hkxk:M": I SUPERSTITIONS ? X By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Jr Dean of Men, University of y Illinois. MXX.XXMXXX..... Sopliie s:iv the now moon over her left shoulder the other night, and she has been restless and unhappy ever since. It never would have hap pened so If she had only realized that there was a new moon, but she had been busy, and the nights had been cloudy, and she had neglected to look at the cal endar, and here jshe hud done a thing that was sure to bring ill luck "ipon her. She was Worried. Sopliie is nn intelligent girl, who lias been to college, and she Is jnot at all superstitious she avers, but to see the new moon over her left !shonlder does just give her a chill. 'And why shouldn't It? Simpkins lias no superstitions either, lie doesn't believe that if it rains on Easter Sunday we can expect rain on seven successive first days of the week. He would just as lief walk uu !er a ladder as not, and black cats irunning across his path give him no 'cold chills, lie laughs when anyone jwalks around his chair to bring him self good luok in a card game, but he knows perfectly well that if he doesn't folant his potatoes in the dark of the inioon or maybe It Is the light of the moon; anyway it is one or the other ) the crop will surely be a failure. (Xou can believe It or not, but he has ;seen it happen too many times to give It no credence. Gordon with his family rides out In ;his automobile every pleasant Suuday. Be plays golf on occasion after he has jbeen to the morning church service, but when his neighbor, who was be 'hlnd with his spring work, finished Jsowing his oats on Sunday Gordon knew that the crop would be a failure, ias It was. His own crop was no bet ter, but there were other and stitli cient reasons for his failure. When you do a tiling like that you are sure to pay dearly for it later. Drake gives laborious and careful attention to these imbecile chain let 'ters that every one, I suppose, gets .which purport to have been started by Colonel Lindbergh or President jCoolldge or the Mayor of Pesotum, be cause he fears the calamities which 'are promised to those who break the chain and throw that sort of time waster into the discard. He doesn't see how it can bring disaster, but he Is just a little afraid to risk it, though lie asserts with real feeling that he 'is in no sense superstitious. As for myself, I get no sensation excepting one of awlr.vm-ilr.ess when I spill the salt on the tablecloth 1 always break the chain when asked to "write this message to r.ine of your friends" even though the king of Kng land has initiated the menace, and 1 never expect anything to happen. If 1 were contemplating a second mar riage, Friday or the thirteenth of the month or both together would not daunt me. When I start to do a thinn and have to turn back, however, 1 always sit down; not because I am superstitious but just because it does Beem n little safer.

JETER Raleigh, Jan. 5 Land left over when the cotton and tobacco acreage has been properly reduced this year must be put to some practical and profitable use. "We should not fail to heed the warning to reduce the cotton and to bac::o acreage this year, but, we must also remember that diversifica tion means the production of feed crorw for "livestock and thus making t.h- dairy cow anil other kin-Is of chi me t'c iiv?:-to''k the mears of sell there eip for rash," says A. ('. K::nrey, dairy extension p(viiilist at ' te College. "Tills is the proper v y to think about livestock produc ti n in t':e treat ca-h crop areas o t'- a St.it'. it is fooiish to thi '.k t!i:i a dairy row i.- -o miraeul.'-is t'rat si. ca.n return a profit, to a pi rson win has sonic ,;ri ia- ii but who ha in itlier t!:o im linatioti nor the wi! to feed the cow propel ly or milk her regularly." It is Mr. Kimrey's opinion that tlie dairy cow best fills her piace as an income earner when she is in the hands of a family that lives on its own land and makes it a custom to produce feed and care for the cow with their own labor or at leat gives personal supervision to hired labor. Neither is it necessary for the cows to be in sections where there is a ready market for fluid milk. The cotton and tobacco belts of North Carolina have few local markets. However, any farmer in these belts may ship cream to a butterm;.king creamery and feed the skimmiik to calves, pigs and poultry. He will re ceive a good market price for every pound of home produced f. ed fed to good cows. For the men who wants to reduce his acreage to cash crops and to use the resulting idle acres in a profit able way, Mr. Kimrey suggests this formula; not less than five rood ft9 m To Mead The Beaufort News Because it keeps you informed on things that are happening in Carteret county and ti some extent in the State and Nation.
