Last year lb,, total sales for tobacco and cot fmi in the state was $165,000, but it tiHik. $H),000 to fertilize it. $1000 ??rth oi 12 1-2 cent tobacco removes jinl worth of fertility from the soil, Jiile at #1000 worth of butter r? n?ves about $1 worth of fertility. The Governor gave three big reasons lur more dairying in North Carolina. ].

The Governor urged those who at-' tended the meeting to "vote for no man for governor who has not pledg-1 fd himself t.i the futherance of di tersitied tanning," which must ill-', timately "free North Carolina agri culture from the grip of economic slavery and tvranny." . , ? ^ Chief 0.

NO CHANGE OF SCHOOL BOOKS lialergh, Sept. 17?There will be no change in either elementary or high school textbooks to be used this year,that is the school year 1930-31 it is learned from the office of the State Superintendent of Public In struction. Under the law the State Textbook Commission may jrecommei d that changes be made in one major and two minor elementary subjects dur ing the year. A year ago the Text book Commission decided that no change would be made in the text books used this year. "It was the sense of all members present," the resolution jNissed read,, "that they would prefer not to make; any report on suggested changes in? textbooks now in use in the eleme tary schools of the state for the year J 15)29." The State Board of Education at a meeting held on September 10, 1929, approved this action of the Textbook Commission and passed a resolution commending the members for their attitude in this matter. The action of, these tw*> bodies means that this year the school chil dren will use the same elementary textbooks as they have used hereto fore. The high school textbooks used were adopted for five years begin ning with the last school year. Hence there will be no change high school books until 1934. These books may be purchased by the children of the State at prices not to exceed fif teen |?ercent above the wholesale prices set forth in the contract with the publishers. Both the wholesale ami retail prices are stamped on the books. These prices, according to Superin tendent Allen are fixed so that the school children may be able <o secure: textbooks at the lowest possible cost.l The names of the high school text-i books used may be secured from \ county and city superintendents.
