C. Blair, State College extension agronomist, is giving North Carolina flarmers as they t stairt the New Year. n If such a plan is not possible, 0 the grower should take stock of 1 every field, decide what is to be planted on it, what fertilizer is c to be used, and then make ar rangements to get his seed and 1 fertilizer at once, Blair said. | c „ In.-preparing for the coming, f growing season, Piedmont srm- j * A* should run theijr plows every * day that,weathef and the condi- 1 tion o£ the soU permit. On many ' | foils in* this section, it is impera- • | tive to turn under clovens and | • leepedeza eftfly- Thfc is neces- ' |sary in order to prevent damage ' to com crops from bud worms ' and to be able to prepare a good ' seed bed. 1 All other lands not growing a ' Winter crop should be turned in | January if not plowed in Decern- ' ber. Once plowed and left rough, winter will do the neces- 1 sary harrowing, Blair eaid. Spring oats sowed at any time ' during the current month a^d I••I*. •• • . , ] better crop than oats sowed In ( Mjfich or An®, thrtgrmStit mtphrtmWl. , | Coastal Plain growers should finish turning under all corn - stfelka, ootfion stfUks, tobacco ' stalks, soybeans, cowpeas, velvet ' Ufan vines, or any other cro; | ( ( residue from 1037. Blair pointed out that tt. ' plant food in this material can ' not be utilized in 1038 unless it ie| disced into the soil in time fx.' fully decay before spring., Get-1 ting rid of the stalks this way also makes it easier to cultivate crops next summer. ■ Governor Says Road Funds Cut Harmful Raleigh, Jan. 5. Governor ilpey made public today & letter to Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace in which he asserted any curtailment of federal aid | road fonds would "very aeripusly interfere with the whole road pro gram in North Carolna." | The governor pointed out that .the 1937 general assembly ap (propriated $3,800,000 in state I funds specifically to match feder (al aid road funds during the 1938-39 fiscal year. "I wish to call your attention ( to the fact that the general as-| sembly of North Carolina, which > convened last year, has .already! made the appropriations for roadj i • construction contingent upon the federal appropriation, and if this appropriation is withdrawn at j this time it will very seriously interfere with the whole road ' program Jn Nprtth Caroline," Governor Hoey wrote. | "This appropriation had been authorized by Congress and was not an emergency measure but one involving a permanent pro-' Number 3,330 THE YULE FIRE ' BURNS MERRILY UP IS BIG CBEEK WHERE 1. C. FBANS TOASTS H?|S SHINS BY THE WARMTH OF MANY FAGOTS. What would you think of • husbandman who built his Christ mas fire with 21 different kinds of wood, all from his own planta tion? Well, this is what J. C. Frans of Big Creek township did. There is nothing so delightful as the smell of fresh woods .burning, just felled from the wild forest. This pleasure is height- I " » ened immensely when the flames crackle from a diverse *nd mani fold assembling of various fagots. ■ , Mr. Fnms has always had a * r . • *• to do odd things. He loves to wear his breeches too U>9g on one leg, sod toosbprt (HI * I . • '. ,i the other. He has no use for the false frills apd shuns of life, its fool follies empty dignities, its styles and fiuhions »nd modes. He chews a large quid of tiobacco and spits where he chooses. i ' . The reason of this is because he lives in « little world of his own on one of the finest and big gest farms in Stokes County where he produces the costly kind of tobacco that you moke in on his wide -tom toms he produces more corn- and wheat than be aa» ever use, more pumpkins, lespedeza and Ballet and horse radish and hay and all the good for man and beMt that anybody oould ever dream of, with large an* grunting fat swine in the pens. | But Mr. Frana waa not Sf.lU fied with jail this. He had to do something odd. i)»H j So for Christmas morning, in the big; fireplace of his comfort able home he h)ad the boys to pile on a collection of North Carolina's purest and sweetest woods for his Yuletide fire, and this is what he burned: Hickory, oak of three kinds, sycamore, ash, chestnut, apple, pear, plum, sourwood, sweetgum, poplar, beech, pine, persimmon, sweet gum, black gum, maple « n d willow. These are only a portion of the wietiea of wood which grow on Mr. Fnans' farm. There are njaaiy others, but the fireplace would hold no more. Condition Unchanged The condition of A. D. Folger, seriously ill in Martin Memorial ; hospital, Mt, Airy, with pneu monia, is practically unchanged, i The latest report as to his con | dition aay s he is holding his own. !
