Cottonseed Meal Not |
Poisonous To Cattle
R is the lack of a nutritive
essential. Vitamin A. rather
than any poisonous substance
which cottonseed meal may
contain that produces the con
dition usually referred to as
cottonseed meal poisoning.

among the first ten industries
in this country with an esti
mated annual v hime of about
one billion dollars. That a
mount represents the value of
cosmetics, toilet preparations,
personal services in beauty
shops, and equipment for en
hancing appearances.
Mr. C'oncannon attributes
the industry's remarkable
growth to increased conscious
ness of personal appearance
and to successful selling ap
peal.
About one-tenth of America's
women buy approximately fifty
per cent of the beauty devices
sold annually. Here are some
of the items that go to satisfy
the craving for beauty in a sin
gle year: 2,000 tons of rouge;
4,000 tons of face powder;
6,000 tons of vanishing, nour- c
ishing and other facial creams; c
9,000 tons of complexion soap:
26.000 tons.of skin lotion; and 1
more than 50.000 tons of cold j ;
cream. This does not include
related products such as con- t
tainers, compacts. powder i
puffs and similar articles. :
Model of Co-operation i
In Owning Thresher
A serious hindrance to the i
growing of small grain general- i
|y over eastern Carolina has ]
been the small acreage plante i .
on each farm making it inipra*.- ;
tieai-k for one man to own a '
binder and thresher. i
"Five farmers of Conetoe in
Kdgeci ml»o t unty have solved
this problem very satisfactor- -
ily." says A. T. Holniiin. agri
cultural engineer at State Col
lege. "Kach of these men
wanted to grow from 15 to 40
acres of winter grains and so
they decided to buy a good
threshing machine co-operativc
lv. Each man paid one-fifth
of the cost and each one uses
the machine to thresh all of his
grain. There is no limit to the
acreage one man may thresh
The machine is kept in repair
by the individual on whose
farm it is located when the
repairs are needed."
Mr. Holmaii says the ma
cliiia has been used not' for
sewn crops, of grain and is still
in good condition. When it is
I'.ot !.eeded by one ■ f the own
ers. it s hired out and a nom
..! iha ret ■ made for the work.
The returns secured are placed
in the tresur.v and used only
for making permanent repairs.

The oat crop f the live ■ wn

v\ iliiain John Cooper, I'niteii ,
States dnimissioner of Kdu-j
cation. Dr. Cooper takes little)
stock in the abundance of criti-'
cism emanating from press and i
pulpit in regard to the "deplor
able morals" of America's!
young scholars. On the con
trary, he holds that college \
standards, both intellectual and !
social, are constantly improv- !
ing.
It is unfair to judge modern >
college students by the tradi-:
tions of the past, Commission
er Cooper states. People can't
forget the ancient atmosphere
of religion that was associated
with the cathedral school. And
they do not always remember
that higher education is no,
longer limited to the "aristo
(cracy" of wealth and family
prestige. The universities and
colleges of today represent a
cross-section of democracy. Be
cause of these things, Dr.
Cooper feels that it is wrong
to treat the student as a per
son apart from the world.
The institution of coeduca
tion. which still alarms many
citizens, is viewed philosophic
ally by the Commissioner. He
admits that an adjustment
must be made by both men and
women students, but he does
not consider the adjustment
ditliciilt- Dr. Cooper al.'o com
ments on tho lack of "freakish
noss" in (.oIU-L'e dress to.lay.
And he concludes with the ob
servati.n that. "To those who
witness the trend of college
education, there is every reason
to bo optimistic in re-pec t to
the student."

You CAN'T help admiring the charm of natural beauty, any more than
you can help enjoying the natural mildness of a Camel Cigarette.
Camel's mildness starts in the sun-drenched fields where the tobaccos
grow. Only the choicest of the golden Turkish and mellow Domestic
leaves are selected for Camels. Through every step of their cure and
manufacture the delicate, sun-ripe fragrance of these tobaccos is scien
tifically preserved. And so Camels come to you mild and delightful—
not Hat and flavorless.
Swing with the crowd to Camels. Learn the happy difference
between true mildness and insipid flatness. Smoke without fear of
throat-discomfort or after-taste—just for pleasure!

In line with the policy of the
State College Extension Ser

headquarters at the college in
Ralefgh. Here, it will be pos
sible for her to confer with the
other college specialists and
supervisory leaders. Most f
her time however, will be spent
with the home agents in the 25
counties comprising the south
western extension district.
