EVER NOMAL GRANARY Among the ideas offered as a solution of price changes and food supplies is that of an “ever normal granary” which in some respects is a repetition of practices put in to effect by Joseph under Pharaoh in Egypt some thousands of years ago. Surplus grain would be stored in years of plenty for marketing during the lean years, serving to hold up prices when crops are abun dant and to keep down costs when grain is scarce outside the grana ries. Crop control would probably be a feature of the plan if and when it is tried.

MASSEY RUN CLOSE SECOND & THIRD Below we give the winners and list of prizes ofered in our Adver tising Contest campaign. A great many letters came in. so many that it took the judges hours to read them. So many of them were of merit, that it was a hard matter for the judges to decide the win ners. In one instance the decision was a tie. It was found that one of the letters exceeded considera bly the allowed 100 words, s<o it was necessary to throw it out. A lot of publicity was stimulated by the campaign which we believe will help the business concerns taking part. We hope our readers will read all the letters. Then visit the plac es of business mentioned and see for yourself the courteous service, large stocks and low prices offered that our contestants found and ap preciate.

LOCAL RAIN IS TOOPLENTIFUL A succession of showers varied occasionally by a hard rain have wet the ground thoroughly in this section and crops are thriving. So far no hail has come damage anything in this immediate vicini ty. However, it will be some weeks yet before the tobacco will be ready for the barns and one day may bring untold loss to farmers when hail strikes, so they will probably be on the “anxious seat” until the weed is safely housed. Wise farm ers are carrying hail insurance. The early date set for warehouse opening will mean a rush to grade the leaves as soon as they are cur ed. Lost sleep can usually be regain ed. Lost time ia a waste that can never be regained.
