The farmers of Stokes County are either planting corn, or they are planning to plant. Many m them within the last year or so, have been convinced that they can increase their yield by follow ing a number of improved prac tices. The three most important practices are planting good seed, liberal fertilization and good cul tivation. Good seed is the found ation of every crop. When one plants a tobacco crop, if th t plants are healthy and in a grow ing condition they get a much better stand which results in a more uniform crop. In planting our corn crop the additional ex pense of using certified seed i a negligible as compared to the value of the increased yield that may be obtained. A number of tests that have been conducted in Stokes County, as well as in other parts of the state, have proven that a liberal use of fertilizer under corn pays well. This does not mean that we should use a3 much fertilizer as we do under tobacco, but it does mean that in many cases we can increase our yield enough by using more fertilizer to more than pay the additional expense and thereby lower the cost per bushel. **■»• | Good cultivation is essential in I producing a good crop of corn and the best time to cutivate a corn crop is before it is planted. If the seed bed is well prepared be fore the corn is planted .the crop is much easier to cultivate after it comes up. I wish to call your attention to a statement that I saw in the Progressive Farmer the other day and it read like this, "Lets make every acre a brag acre.' . In selecting your seed corn i t is not necessary to buy com that was produced in some other sec tion of the state because it i 3 possible for you to find good cer tified seed of the variety that you would like to plant either within the county or in near-by coun ties. T. H. SEARS. Asst. County Agent. Among the countymen attend ing Monday's meetings of the public officials were: C. W. Ray and Ernest Collins of Francisco; ,W. F.

Folger's State ment To The Democrats Of The Fifth Congres sional District. i _____ i In 1914 i began the practice of i j law in Dobson, N. C. in Surry ; County, and soon afterwards I ' was mads Chairman of the Demo > cratic Executive Committee of ! i that County, at which time thi '; Republican party wa3 carrying I '; the County from 1500 to 1700 . majority. For the past twenty ' two years I have acted as County i Chairman, during which time, 1 ; covering all the days of my ' young manhood and to middle : [age, I have given at least 50 per : cent of my time and earnings to : the ca'iae of the Democratic party and to help Those who need -1 ed help. ' Surry County ia now going 1 Democratic from 3500 to 4000 ma : jority. I claim no credit for this j wonderful change except as one ' who has worked with a host of " other good loyal democratic work ers. [ ( During these twenty-two years r I have tried to answer every call, 5 not only in Surry County, but 1 also throughout the District, and | the State, but have refused to f become a candidate for any of i fice, feeling that I could serve " the party best by not holding of- I fice. Previous to my recent an ' j nouncement 'as a candidate for I I Congress I have never before '.asked the nomination for any of " fice at the hands of the voters of my party. In June 1936. while I was sick Preschool Clinics. The series of Preschool Clinics ; conducted in Stokes County by ' Dr. J. Hoy Hege, Director, and ; Miss Bess E. Dalton, Supervisor. of the Forsyth-Stokes-Yadkin •jlf>alth Department, assisted by i the local personnel, has been com : pleted. \ | The purpose of the preschool ■ | clinic was to give each child a ' physical examination to find any ! defects, which are now or might later be dangerous to his or her i health, in order that th? defects | may be corrected before entering I school next year and tr adminis ter smallpox vaccine so that the child's arm will be well before being admitted to school. We want to thank the Parent Teachers associations of King and Sandy Ridge, as wvll as the teach as, for their splendid coopera tion. The attendance at the dlnica and in a hospital, the democrats,' in convention assembled, confer red upon me the high honor of being named National Committee man for North Carolina by a; unanimous vote of all the onei hundred counties. Soon there- after I was called upon to raise in the State $45,000.00 to help re elect our great President, Frank lin D. Roosevelt. I closed my of-1 fice and lor three months worked day and night, of course without pay, to raise this money. The j good democrats of the state not only gave the amount asked for, »■ i, but nearly doubled it. In November 1936 I was ap pointed to the office of Judge of 1 the Superior Court. After serv . ing 7 weeks in that capacity I was upon again to raise several | thousand dollars more to pay off a deficit of the Democratic party i r in the nation, due to the fact that [ some other states had not reach .'ed their quota. I felt that I 'should not act as Superior Cour: 'judge and at the same time solic i rit money for a political party. I Feeling that it was in line with ■ the traditions of the party and my r obligation to the State, I resigned > j as Superior Court Judge toithin r forty-eight hours after I received ! . the call from Honorable James A. - Farley for more money, in order > that I might prove true to the /trust of the democrats of North . Carolina in making me their ' National Committeeman. If any r'of you hear some candidate for . j any office jumping on me for i' having a Folger autocracy i n >jSurry County and holding so t many offices, when I have drawn - a salary as a public official for jonly seven weeks out of a quart j er of a century of hard work fo , 1 the party, tell him that he ought t 'not to do that. ij Please know that if you send j me to Congress my sole aim shali -'be to serve you faithfully and at Jail times work for the best inter - ests of the Democratic party. 1 . very much appreciate and am ex f tremely grateful to my goo. j friends for the expressions of con - fidence and trust.
