Harvard's tercentenary interests ! me particularly because one of my earliest American ancestors, DrBenjamin Stcckbridge, was one of the first students in the "college or schoale" which the Rev- John Harvard endowed in the town whien was named for is own English university town of Cambridge. In its beginning Harvard was a crude, one-teacher boarding school, where Nathaniel Eaton, the master,' half starved and mercilessly whip- I ped the unfortunte boys. But from j that seed sprang what is, I believe,! the most far-reaching educational influence in America, and the most democratic. COTTON for roads New York state is about to try | 1 out the new type of cotton road, on > a six-mile stretch in the Mohawk [ n Valley. Cotton roads have been j ' quite successful in the South, as the | cheapest improvement en the ordi nary gravel or clay road. I have been trying to remember a time when the cotton planters of the South were no; in distress, seek- w ing new uses and markets for their m surplus product. It was a year or so before the World War that the cl "buy a bale of cotton" propaganda w i was started all over the country, to rt help the Southern planters. The truth about cotton, it seems ai to me, is that it can be grown di profitably only in especially favored pi regions or where there is a plentiful supply of the cheapest manual labor ci , to "chop" and pick it Most of co'- cc ton's troubles arise from trying to ir , grow it under conditions which militate against profitsFIGS from abroad "Pigs," as my friend Eliis Parker Butler pointed out in the story which made him famous, "is pigs " In "Pigs is Pigs" it was a country railway agent who insisted that guinea-pigs should come under the ^ same classification as regular porkers. w In England, where they have C? been breeding pigs since long before Columbus discovered America, pigs 2] .tUniT nvn is uiau uui. liicv iuiyw nicj aic ~ not all alike- The kind that bring home the bacon in England are j.r known only by the name cf Large ,( Black pigs- They are said to be far ^ more docile than the "fancy" breeds, and also more profitable. Uncle Sam has just imported four ^ Large Black Pigs, two bcaris and 2] two sows, and is going to try cross- w ing them with familiar American breeds. Which is interesting to hograisers, but to most of us pigs is ' just pigs. BATS some useful I have long accounted bats as among the most interesting as well ci as the most useful little animals we w have- They are useful, because if al you have plenty of bats flying ;r around your house on Summer eve- m nings you won't have so many mos- r quitoes- Indeed, one Texas town g, some years ago built a "bat tower" n, in which these flying mice could w live and breed, and so get rid of a pi serious mosquito pest- R Only a few persons with excep- w tionally keen ears can hear the squeaky cries of bats as they fly. D Their tone is pitched in a key be- ir yond ordinary audibilityNot all bats are harmless, how- pi ever. The great empire bats of the tropics and some parts of Europe I are actually a menace to human and animl life- And the other day the 8! i Federal government ordered the fi killing of eight "flying foxes" from tl India, fruit bats with a three-foot L wing spread, which destroy or- 2, chards and fruit groves of all kinds- sf Still, I like bats- si l CHILDREN Work cl A new law has just gone into a effect in New York, raising from E ! 14 to 16 the age at which a boy may M , leave school and get his "working gi i papers." Boys of 12 are still allowed, i however, to sell newspapers and . shine shoes on the streets. ; I have never been convinced that ti i it is always a good thing for a boy ?: to keep him from earning his own ei way in the world, whatever his age. w !

Preliminary Draft Is Submitted By Planning Board A brief discussion of a preliminary draft of the planning board of the Town of Warrenton was the only business of an annual nature before the City Fathers in regular session here on Monday night. The plan as submitted to the board calls for the zoning of the town in Class A, Class B business sections and residential seotions- Public hearings aire 10 ue nearu uexure aim aitei preliminary draft is completed. J. H. Duke, who for more than a year has had the contract for removing garbage from the town was before the board in regard to the length of time the board wanted him to continue this work. He was instructed to continue his duties to the 15th of the present month, when the town will assume this duty. Mr. Duke has been receiving $125 a month for this work, and at a recent called meeting the board decided to operate its own truck and purchased a new specially designed truck for this purpose. Reading of minutes and passing upon a number of bills were the only other mat.ers before the governing body. if"' S r* A tinn At State Fair Raleigh, Sep;. 10.?None but legitimate concessions will be allowed on the grounds of the North Carolina State Fair, which will be held in Raleigh the week of October 12, General Manager Norman Y. Chambliss emphasized today. "We are going to take even more sjringent measures to see that the midway is kept clean and tnat the public is p.-otected from 'gyp' gambling artists," declared Chambliss. "Every concession will be scrutinized carefully before it is granted syace in the fairgrounds.

In connection with his emphasis on a clean midway, Manager Chambliss pointed out that Max Linderman is returning to the State Pair for the four consecutive year with his "World of Mirth Shows," consisting of a galaxy of wholesome shows and novelty rides "I know that Max Linderman has the confidence of every fair Secretary in the country, and I do not hesitate to commend him for nis cooperauuii ux iuaiuw?mui6 ^ midway free from dirt," commented Chambliss. In addition to the midway attractions, the State Fair has booked some of the world's greatest feature acts for presentation before the grandstand. Nightly performances will be given by "The Revelations of 1936," a glittering revue under the personal management of George Hamid, of New York, an internationally known showman.

Wednesday morning beginning at 11 o'clock, a special address will be delivered by a foreign missionary. Bright Urges Farmers To Save All Hay Possible By BOB BRIGHT, County Agent Farmers should save a surplus of feed crops this fall- The drought in the West has reduced the supply of hay and corn and the prices will be high in the spring. Under the soil conservation act farmers are permitted to cut for hay, oow peas, soy beans and velvet beans. Hay from any one of these crops cut at the proper time and cured properly will keep teams in very good condition with the use of very little corn. I have a circular from Washington office advising farmers to save rag weed for feed- This shows the scarcity of these hay cropsI would advise those farmers who have planted these hay crops to cut sufficient for their home needs and some for sale. In some cases it will pay to turn under these crops after harvesting sufficient poundage for home use. There has been some misunderstanding about the use of these crops under the present program, but the three crops named above may be harvested for hay or seed and still the acreage planted in these crops will qualify the producer for his diversion payment Sufficient seed should be saved to plant the required acreage in 1937. The seed of all legumes are expensive and any farmer that will give a little thought and care to the saving of the seed will find that It is a paying program. Several farmers in this county save their clover seed and find that it pays to do so. Home grown seed are superior, in most cases, to foreign seed- Home grown seed are acclimated to this climate. They are of known variety and free of noxious weed seed. The weather has been ideal for saving hay this fall and where the farmer has legumes planted there is no; any excuse for hint not saving sufficient hay for home use- I would like to see more farmers bale their hay- Baling of hay is one of the most economical practices known to the hay grower. In most cases approximately one-third of unbaled hay is wasted in feedingBaling improves or conserves the quality of hay. There are a number of horse drawn balers on the market that are satisfactory. Mrs. Tharrington Dies In Oklahoma Mrs- R- L. Tharrington, sister of W- T. Robertson of Warren county, died at her home at Cordell, Okla., on Friday morning, September 4, at 7:30 o'clock following an attack of pneumonia. She was 76 years of age.
