K. Sanders said Wednesday. Tobacco, corn, garden and pasture crops need rain, he said. Almost all sections of the County except possibly the southern part are in need of rain, Mr. Sanders as serted. The southern section had a good rain late last week. In spite of the dry weather, farm work is moving along, with a large part of the tobacco crop in the County already laid by. By the end of this week possibly 75 per cent of the crop will be laid by. Most of the wheat in this section has already been cut. Reports indi cate a fair crop. Gardens, on the are in fair ly good condition, the County Agent said. o * PROCTOR FUNERAL Funeral services for the Rev. C. K. Proctor of Oxford will be held at 3 p. m.

The service officer appeared re cently before the City Commissi'.n ers to recommend that some unde veloped area of Roxboro ce given streets, lights, water and sewer lines, so that the area might be bought and lots resold to veterans at mod erate prices. Veterans would use the lots for building purposes. Mr. Whitten said that if lot= could be obtained at verv moderate prices, veterans would stand a much better chance of getting loans for building homes under the GI Bill of Rights. The commissioners did not defi nitely commit themselves on the proposal, but, Mr. Whitten said, they seemed to react favorably. Most neighboring cities do have a housing program and have ob tained, or are in the process pi ob taining, a definite number f emer gency housing units from surplus areas, the service officer said; how ever, so far nothing along inis line has been done here, and there is little hope of getting • emergency housing units now unless surplus property may be obtained at Camp Butner, as Durham is attempting to do. Mr. Whitten said he had talked to many veterans, and they lelt that the City and Count'' have a joint responsibility to do all in their power to ease the housing shortage. The public, he asserted, :sf urged to cooperate by listing all vacan cies of any description with the Veterans Service office in »he base ment of the courthouse. The tele phone number of the office is 3135.

C. Jackson. Assistant The County Agent’s office has received the following suggestions from the Department of Agriculture regarding control of horn worms: 1. Cryolite spray: 6 pounds of cryolite containing at least 85 per cent sodium fluoaluminate to each 50 gallons of water applied at the rate of 70 to 80 gallons to the acre. Thorough coverage with a minimum amount of spray is important. Three nozzles fitted on each side of the spray boom adjusted to cover the entire plant should be used regard less of the size of the plants. 2. Cryolite Dust: Caution: Any diluent used with cryolite should be insoluble in water and non-reactive with cryolite. Hydrated lime should not be used, but materials such as clay. ta|c, or pyrophylllte are satis factory.

Paris Green-Arsenate lead spray: 1 pound of Paris green to 5 pounds arsenate of lead. Use 1V& to 2 pounds of this mixture to each 50 gallons of water and apply at the rate of 60 to 70 gallons to the acre. 4. Paris greeri-Lead arsenate dust: 1 pound of paris green to 5 pounds arseriate of lead.

Vets’ Education Plans Being Made l In order that the Governor's com- I mittee on veterans’ education may j complete its plans for “off campus I college centers” in North Carolina, all veterans in Person county who are interested in obtaining a college education are asked to make appli cation at the offices of city and county superintendents of schools on July 22 and 23, Veterans Service Officer Bob Whitten said yesterday. The Gover no r' s committee, through its steering committee, has worked out very definite and com prehensive plans to set up “off campus college centers" in com munities in the State where there is a demand for them. The centers will be run by quali fied teachers at the freshman level, with credit being given as if the work were done on the campus. In order that the Committee may know where the demand is, veterans interested are asked to contact city and county superintendents on July 22 and 23. Superintendents will be furnished forms by R. M. Grumman, secretary of-the steering committee. Chapel Hill, on which the veteran will make application. The centers will not be confined to veterans alone, but may be used by non-veterans as well. Classes will be held in the late aftennoon and evening. Libraries and laboratories will be those required by college standards. In fact it is the plan of the Committee, through the cooper ation of the colleges and high schools, to bring all the facilities re quired to do freshman work to the communities where the centers are j set up, • Mr. Whitten said additional in formation wouid be given the-public as soon as it becomes available.

Death Rate ! 2.98 Per The first consolidated listing of Army dead and missing in World I War ll—a compilation of the names !of nearly 310,000 men and women who gave their lives in the nation’s service—was released today by tlie War Department. j The list show's that Person •oun- Ity suffered fifty-three Army casu alties up to the cut-off date of the report January 31, 1946—and one other Person soldier is known to j have been officially presumed dead i since that time, bringing the total jto 54. Os the 54. 29 were killed in action, j five died of wounds. 18 died of non- I battle injuries, and two were pre sumed dead after having been miss ling in action for a year or more. For the State us a whole casual ties totaled 7,109. An overall death and missing rate of 2.98 per cent from all causes was indicated by the listing. Os more than 10,000,000 men and wo men mobilized into tile Army be tween the Presidential declaration of unlimited national emergency on May 27, 1941, and January 31. 1946. a total of 307,554 had been killed in action, died of other causes, or be | came missing, later to be determin ed dead. The list was made up of 50 book lets, one for each State, one tor the District of Columbia, and bile f'T the Territories and Possessions of the United States. The Courier- Times received a copy of the North Carolina booklet. j In the foreword to the booklet. |it was pointed out that the War TWpUnttiem- is extremely reluctant | to hold out hope to next of kin that any missing persons will be lqund I alive. It is expected that after a reasonable lapse of time and after i due investigation, most of these ; missing cases will be closed With j findings of death, j North Carolina contained 2.06 per cent of the population of the United States and possessions < excluding the Philippine Islands) in 1940 and contributed 2.33 per cent of the total number who entered the Army. | Os these men and women of North Carolina who went to war, 3.01 per cent failed to return, This figure represents 2.30 per cent of the Army's total dead and missing, The operation of the Selective Service system, which drew pro portionately from all walks of life I and all sections of the country, was ! noticeable throughout the report. | An evidence of the democratic w'orli ! ing of the draft was the fact that only three of the smallest of ths I nation’s 3.000 counties failed to suf jfer a casualty. They were King in Texas: Esmeralda, in Nevada; and I Yellowstone National Park, in Wy | ogling. In releasing the booklets, the War , j Department pointed out that the j listing was a preliminary one, and might because of its scope contain j errors which w'ould be corrected ! when determined. Youth Caravan To Arrive Saturday A Youth Caravan will be at the Long Memorial Methodist church from June 29 through July 4. The Caravan consists of four young people who are led by an adult counselor. They will start their ac tivities Sunday night, June 30, at 6 o’clock, and conduct church ser vices at 8 o'clock. Classes for young people (12 to 23 years of age) will be taught throughout the week with morning sessions from 9 to 11 a. m. and evening sessions from 6 to 10 p. m.

Hall, ] chairman of the County Agrciultural j Conservation committee. The refer- i endum was called in accordance with ■, the law, whicli provides for market- < ing quotas on flue-cured tobacco for the 1947 crop. However, marketing ; quotas cannot be in effect unless i approved by at least two-thirds of ; the producers in the flue-cured areas voting in the referendum. 'Marketing quotas furnish growers with a method of adjusting supply ) to demand and can help to provide fair prices to growers lor the tobacco I they produce. At the present time, flue-cured tobacco growers are producing above world consumption levels to build up depleted stocks in foreign coun tries. Marketing quotas afford the opportunity to adjust this supply to meet the demand. "Any person w'ho has an interest i in the 1946 crop of flue-cured tobac |co as owner, tenant, of share- • ! cropper is entitled to vote in the ! referendum." Mr. Hall said. "How- I ever, no person is entitled to more than one vote even though he may j be engaged in production of flue cured tobacco in two or more com munities, counties, or states." Mr. Hall explained that, if mark- ! ! eting quotas are approved, individual , acreage allotments w'ill be continu- * , ed in 1947. Individual acreage allot- ! j ments for 1947 will not be less than j i 80 percent of the 1946 allotment for I any farm which has grown up to [ 75 percent of its allotted acreage in | any one of the past three years. This j : allotment may be increased any time | up to March 1, 1947. by the Secretary ! of Agriculture if the supply and de mand situation warrants. If quotas are_ approved, toaus uj, 90 percent of the parity price will]? be available.

The Federal government is no longer acting as agent for foreign governments in purchasing tobacco, and in the future loans can afford a real protection to growers against drastic price declines or losses.
