Chapel Hill, Oct. 3.—Successive
■week-end games with two of foot
ball’s elite in the faouth and East are
the immediate objectives ahead of the
Carolina eleven.
Tulane’s mighty “Giants Os The
South" pay their second visit to Cha
pel Hill in as many years Saturday
to provide the feature of the Tar
Heels’ Homecoming festivities. On
the following week-end North Caro
lina invades New York City for the

Miller Changes Line,
Davis Put In Backfield
Coach Bing Miller set about this
afternoon to bolster the Henderson
high school Bulldogs for their en
counter with Mt. Airy there Friday
night.
The mentor was not at all pleased
with the showing the lads made in
their 18-0 loss to Fuquay Springs here
Friday afterncon.
The entire right side of the Bulldog
line, including center, will undergo
changes during the week. Miller says
he will give Tarry and Sanders a
shot at center position, move Chick
Stewart back into the line from the
backfield, putting Jimmy Davis into
the first string backfield. Guy Sump
ter, the much shifted ball player, will
be given a shot at right end, and the
mentor will work several boys in oth
er positions, hoping to uncover a com
bination that will work to suit him.

WOLFPACKTAKES ON
Elephants ;RatecC Strongest
Team In Southeast And
Rose Bowl Aspirant
Raleigh,, Oct. 3—The N. C. State
college Wolf pack this week engages
the only Southeastern conference foe
on its hard 1938 football schedule.
The University qf Alabama, eastern
contender in the most recent Rose
Bowl game, is that foe and the game
will be played at Tuscaloosa, Ala., Sat
urday afternoon.
The Pack has had little or no time
up to now to think about the Red
Elephants of Alabama, for only last
week did it get the all-important clash
with the University of North Carolina
behind it. Earlier in the season, with
the hardest schedule in Wolfpack his
tory staring the Wolfpack in the face
Coach Newton instructed his boys to
think about only one foe at the time.
Alabama and State will be meeting
for the first time. The game will be !
the occasion of the Alabama grads’ j
homecoming. It also will be sort of a
homecoming for Coach Williams
(Doc) Newton, who formerly coach
ed freshman teams at Howard and
Birmingham-Southern in nearby Birtn
ingham.
Alabama has been touted as one of
the leading contenders for the South
eastern conference championship and
opened its season auspiciously with a
victory over Southern California in
Los Angeles.
State is the decided under
dog, its players are looking forward
to the clash with the old fashioned
Alaqapia glory-gusher that boasts
such stars as Henry Mosley, who, in
action, looks like the famous Dixie
jriowqll. Charley Holm, brother of an
other’ Alabama all-America player
(Tqny Holm), George Zivich, Charley
Boswell and Bill Slessoms are other
tracks with whom the Pack has to
cqntqnd.
State will be outweighed consider
ably, therefore Newton is expected
to depend on his trickiness, including
his noted bootleg play.

Durham, Oct. 3—(Special)—Dia
mond fans of N° r fh Carolina will be
able to witness one of the few post

been in great demand for post-season
engagements, turned down two offers

triumphs. The rosy-cheeked Hol
lander was an ace with the Durham
Bulls of the Piedmont League in 1936
rnd he accepted the Durham date be
cause it offered the opportunity to
visit his many friends in this section.

not* be the only attraction, for the
two teams which have been recruited

Feedstuff Market
Firmer Past Week-
Fruit Prices Low
Raleigh, Oct. 3. —Feedstuff markets
strengthened further since last week’s
summary, according to the United
States and North Carolina Depart
ments of Agriculture. Inquiry for
feedstuffs was a little more active
and holders of supplies were asking
higher prices. Production of wheat
millfeeds was quite heavy but large
quantities were applied on previous
orders and market offerings; were
rather light on higher quotations.
Cottonseed meal sold 1.00 per ton
higher at southern markets. Linseed
| meal was also higher but soybean
meal held steady. Most other feeds
j were firmer. The index of whole
sale feedstuff prices advanced to 97.2
(1935-36-100) compared with 95.4, the
week previous and 90.8 two weeks
previous.
Fruit prices during the past week
have continued relatively low, owing
largely to weak consumer demand.
Domestic demand for all fruits, how
ever, is expected to show some im
provement during the fall and winter
as a result of prospective increases in
consumer incomes- Foreign demand
for United States fruits may be some
what better than last season because
of the relatively light fruit crops in
England and most European coun
tries.
THIS STATE LEADS
IN OAT PRODUCTION
North Carolina produces nearly 5,-
000,000 bushels of oats each year,
more than any other middle Atlantic
State. Comparable figures for the
1937 crop, compiled by the United
States Department of Agriculture, are
as follows:
Acs. in Oats Production
N. C 230,000 4,830,000 bu.
Va 80,000 1,680,000 bu.
W. Va '76,000 1,530,000 bu.
Maryland .. 38,000 1,083,000 bu.
Although the average yield for the
state was only 21 bushels per acre,
this yield could have been increased
materially if the seed had been treat
ed before planting, and if the entire
acreage had been sown with the im
proved variety known as Fulgrain.

Premises Should Be inspect
ed Before Heating
Is Started
College Station, Raleigh, Oct. 3.
Approaching winter brought a warn
ing today from D. S. Weaver, exten
sion agricultural engineer at State
College, that every rural family should
inspect its home for fire hazards.
Os the known causes of fire, eight
are responsible for almost 85 per cent
of all farm fire losses. They are:
defective chimneys and flues, sparks
on combustible roofs, lightning, spon
taneous combustion, careless use of
matches and smoking; careless use of
gasoline and kerosene; defective and
improperly installed stoves and fur
naces; and faulty wiring and misuse
of electrical appliances.
Weaver pointed out that fire loss
on farms amounted to approximately
$90,000,000 and 3,500 lives in 1937, or
practically one-third of the fire loss
sustained for the entire United States
In order to bring focus on the im
portance of checking hazards, the
week of October 9-15 has been set
aside as Fire Prevention Week. The
entire country will join in observing
fire precautions and aiding in other
ways to make homes safer from fire.
Mose fires can be prevented, Weav
er said, if home owners will make a
systematic check of their homes and

farm buildings. When fire hazards
are detected, they should be remedied
at once.
Because of the lack of fire-fighting
facilities in rural areas, flames invar
iably consume whole dwellings once
they get started. This is all the more
reason why rural people should be
extra cautious in preventing fires.
Weaver pointed out that farmers
and others living in rural communi
ties may secure information on the
elimination of fire hazards and the
fighting of fires by writing to State
College or to the U. S. Department
of Agriculture.
Electric Co-Op
Will Organize

In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, Oct. 3.—Dudley Bagley, di
rector of the State Rural Electrifica
tion Authority, plans to get the rural
electric cooperatives of the state to
gether to form a statewide associpio n
of co-ops.
Efforts are already under way to
hold a meeting in Raleigh at which
representatives of the seven coopera
tives now operating, or almost ready
to operate, rural systems will form
such an organization.
Primary purpose of the proposed
statewide association of cooperatives
would be the exchange of information
and full discussion of the various pro
blems which have confronted the vari
ous groups.
Mr. Bagley is also planning get

are interested in rural electrification.
Plans are not yet definite enough
to fix any precise dates for these
meetings, but the REA head is hope
ful they can be held sometime within
the next month or two.
He is primarily concerned with the
cooperatives, whose heads are not as
experienced in operation of electrical
systems as are those of the private
companies and the municipalities.

be invited to attend the session ars

EXPERIMENT STATION
WILL ASK INCREASE
College Station, Raleigh, Oct. 3. —
The North Carolina Experiment Sta
tion will request the governor’s ad
visory budget committee for an ad
ditional $82,735 yearly during the next
biennium to meet demands for in
creased agricultural research in the
State, I. O. Schaub, director, revealed
today.
Present income of the Exßqrimppt
Station from State sources amounts
to $5,000 from the general fund for
apple research; $26,350 from thp agri
cultural fund; and an estimated st4,’-
200 from miscellaneous receipts.
If the increase is granted, Dean
Schaub explained, it will providp tnp
necessary offset of $128,285 in Fede

head-Jones Act.
