SEEN AND HEARD
PREACHERS’ GOOD TIME
Bernice Bunn asked me what
preachers did at their Summer
Schools. I told him that they stud
ied the Bible and had lectures.
Then, too, they had a good time
with each other, I said. He asked,
'‘Do they really have a good time?”
I told him they did. And he asked,
“W’y, do preachers tell vulgar
jokes?”
HIS FIRST STORE SUIT
Coming out of Raleigh a few
days ago we picked up a boy who
was coming to Wendell. He had
hardly gotten seated before he
asked, “How do you like my new
suit? You know this is the first
store suit of clothes I ever had.” I
told him it was very nice looking
and seemed to be good material.
“You know,” said he, “I didn’t pay
but a little over |12.00 for it.” I
asked him his age and he said he
was sixteen- Then he went on to
say: “The reason I got it with
stripes in it, they say low fellows
look taller in clothes like mine . .
We got our house and everything
burned up and had to buy all our
farming things ... I got a ride
up here this morning and not on
the bus, so I would have that much
more to spend on my suit ... I
like it right well, don’t you? . . .
No, I don’t go to Sunday School. I
think everybody ought to The
reason I ain’t been going, I have
n’t had any clothes fit to wear, but
think I’ll start next Sunday . . . .
I can wear these clothes a long
time. You know they didn’t cost
but just a litle over $12.00. . . I’m
sure glad you let me ride. I live
about six miles from Wendell . . •
Good bye. I sure thank you for
the ride.”
INNOCENCE ABROAD!
A five-year-old, visiting Mary-
Elizabeth Hospital, peered through
the glass panels that enclose the
baby ward and saw a tttfy infant
in an incubator- After reaching
home he asked his mother if she
supposed they might buy “the one
that will soon hatch.” She was
puzzled and asked what he meant.
He reminded her that they saw one
baby in an incubator and that of
course it would hatch before long—
just like biddies do. He added
that he had wondered where ba
bies come from and thinks hospi
tals are clever to think up such
money-making schemes^
Flower catalogs list 12,000 differ
ent varieties of dahlias this year.
In the past ten years growers of
these flowers have increased by
thousands.

Farmers in Washington state
are experimenting with silage made
of cull apples- They claim it makes
a feed that cows prefer to silage
made from anything else. Four
parts of apples are used to one part
alfalfa hay.

A beekeeper announces that he
has found a way to make bees budd
their combs inside jars and fill
them with honey. Now, if he can
only teach them to screw the tops
on the jars!
How doth the little busy bee
Improve his ways so far,
That when he makes his honey
now
He packs it in a jar.

THE NORTH CAROLINA
EXPERIMENT STATION
tells you how to
STOP RUST and START PROFITS
#
NV
THE NORTH CAROLINA EXPERIMENT STATION recommends top-dressing
cotton with 50 to 100 pounds of MURIATE or 125 to 250 pounds of KAINIT
*
per acre on fields which have shown heavy Rust damage in the past and where
* »
the complete fertilizer treatment contained only 3% potash.
The recommendation is made in a recent news release which describes a
- -V. . . ... ...» «ks! I
series of tests in which “plats receiving the additional amount of potash produced
larger yields, heavier seed, heavier bolls, more lint per seed, better grads, longer
staple, stronger fibers and a higher percentage of normal fibers. Rust damage, on
plats receiving no additional potash, lowered the yield and reduced the quality of
f ■ ' - ■ ' * . • _ *: . _ - *■" %
the fiber to such an extent as to lower the value of t|ie crop sls to $25 per acre.”
The Station selected fields of three farms which had shown severe Rust
damage. One standard variety of cotton was planted in 1935 and 1936. At
planting each field received 400 pounds of complete fertilizer containing 3%
potash, common to the practice of the area. The fields were divided into plats
and certain plats were given additional potash at chopping. The results of
these tests prompted the above recommendation.
