EVERY FARM SHOULD HAVE A RADIO Raleigh, March 17.—Figures complied by the Department of Commerce of the United States show that there are only 1,363 radios in use on the farms of North Carolina. This figure is lower than it should be, in the opinion of Dean I. 0. Schaub of the School of Agriculture at State College. Dean Schaub states that every farm should have a radio and when the proposed state-owned broadcasting station is put into actual use, he feels that there will be a tremendous increase in the number of radios owned by farmers. "Last year," says Dean Schaub, "there were 283,491 farms in North Carolina. This was an in crease of nearly 20,000 over the number found in 1920 and when we consider that only a little ov er 1,000 of these farms have radios, our standing is very low indeed. This is due in part to the fact that we have only one radio station, WBT at Charlotte, which sends out crop reports and market news." According to Dean Schaub, there will undoubtedly be a great increase in the number of radios on the farms in the near future. In some states, now, from 25 to 40 percent of the farms are equip ped with this modern source of information. As a general rule, farmers have bought the best sets available. In 1923 it was found in a study made by the United States Department of Agriculture that on more than 1,000 farms widely scattered over the country, the average cost of the sets was $175.00. Today better and more easily operated sets can be bought for half of this amount. On account of the strides that have been made in perfecting the radio and the wonderful informa tion and entertainment prepared for the different broadcasting stations, Dean Schaub urges North Carolina farmers to give more attention to this new hired man and, where feasible, to put in a modern receiving set. If farmers of North Carolina would plant early corn for hog ging down, they would make many dollars of extra proRt on the corn, says W. W. Shay, swine ex tension specialist.

Reece is busy making out a pro gram and other arrangements for the coming county commencement which for years has been one of the main features of the country schools in this county. It will be held at Yadkinville, Saturday, April 10. One change will be noted this year, the elimination of the high schools of the county from parti cipation in the exercises. Pre paration for the extra work among high school teachers has been a burden on them for some time, and it has been decided to let them devote their time to their own commencement programs and confine the county commencement exercises to the elementary grad es. The group center commence ments wiH be he!d at the main centers for the purpose of elimi nation and securing a program to be presented at the county meet ing. These group center exercis es will be he!d as follows: Boon ville, April 5th; Hamptonville, April 6th; Yadkinville. April 7th and East Bend April 8. AH 7th grade examinations will be held this year at the group center com mencements, and diplomas award ed at the county commencement. Teachers and educators have placed considerable value on the county commencement at a stimu lus to education of the elementary grades. It creates, they say. a county-wide sentiment for equali- ! ty of educational opportunity with { the coming together of the peo ple and students with a common interest in the work and the suc cess of the schools is a demon stration of the efficiency of the teachers. Teachers this year will be allowed to select many of their subjects, especially in the sing'ng contests, they choose their own songs. Prof. Reece has not yet selected a speaker for the occassion, which < is always one of the main featur es of the county exercises, but ! will do so shortly. NEAR EAST RELIEF CAMPAIGN A SUCCESS The campaign which was laun ched in Yadkin County about the first of January by the Golden Rule Society for the purpose of raising this county's quota for Near East Relief is just draw ing to a close, and the campaign was a complete success. The idea was conceived by the chairman Dr. J. G. Marler of the G. R. S., to place this campaign } in the hands of the school child ren of the county and request that they do unto others as they would that others do unto them, and by the aid of many of the teachers the children got on the job and carried the campaign to a successful consummation. We are informed by the chair man that a check has already gone forward to the State Treas ury Near East Relief for the sum of $250.19 and that small con tributions continue to come in the daily mails. The county's quota was $360.00 and it looks as if every penny of it will be raised immediately. This speaks well for the child ren of Yadkin county, who have never been in a campaign like this before. The children were asked to raise $3.00 each and were offered as a reward for this service their choice of one of a number of newspapers and magazines, and more than a hundred subscrip tions have been sent in. The chairman also offered as the Grand Prize to the library of the school raising the largest amount a twelve volume set of the Century Dictionary, Cyclopedia and Atlas, in an oak escritoire, and this valuable set of books was won by the Jonesville school of which Mr. M. R. Haynes is principal. Deputy O. G. Sills, of Harmony, and Prohibition Officers Demar cus, Trexler, Moore and Hall, of Salisbury, were in Davie last week and, near the Iredell line, destroyed a distillery. They also caught a Rash boy at the plant. He gave bond.
