< OTTON BAGGING Approximately one million bales of cotton will be marketed this year in a new cotton bagging material. This experiment with cotton ns a bale covering has been made pos sible bv the AAA program for the diversion of surplus lint. POULTRY SITUATION The U. S. Bureau of Agricultur al Economics, in its outlook for poultry and egg prices until early 19159, predicts a more than season al decline in chicken prices and a more than seasonal advance in egg prices. PEANUT REPORT Some North Carolina peanut fields are now in good shape, but excessive rains in July almost drowned out many fields and caus ed grass and weeds to grow luxu riantly, says E. Y. Floyd of State College. BETTER LIVING The Department of Commerce has reported indications that farm living conditions have improved materially since 1930. A 1938 cen sus survey of selected homes in 40 states showed substantial increas es in the number of farm dwellings having electricity and radios and provided with bathrooms. LARGEST CARRY-OVER The 1937-38 world carry-over of United States cotton, including linters, has been placed at the high record of 13,803,000 bales. The carry-over last year was 6,108,000 bales. BRIEF NEWS ITEMS In Madison County there is a field which has been in permanent pasture for 145 years and is grazed or mowed for hay each year. No erosion is taking place, the pas ture mixture has improved and on ly a small amount of plant food needs to be added occasionally. Rutherford County farmers re port intentions to seed more pas ture acreage this fall, looking to a greater development of the beef cattle industry. Many of the fields to be seeded are too rolling for economical row crop produc tion. Alarmed by a serious outbreak of hog cholera, farmers of Curri tuck County vaccinated 1,100 hogs last week. With fat hogs selling for over nine cents a pound, the owners are not intending to suf fer losses from the disease. The quality of tobacco cured in Edgecombe County this season seems to be above the average. Farmers are greatly encouraged over the outlook. Mecklenburg landowners are happy over the increased acreage to lespedeza which they seeded on small grain as the crop is now growing in such a splendid way as to indicate a heavy yield of hay and seed this fall. Paul Hill of Patetown, Wayne County, reports that ground lime stone which he applied in 1935 is showing beneficial results to a corn crop now on the land. The corn is heavier and larger than on those fields where no limestone was applied. TIIK ZKBUI.QX KKCOKO. ZKBUI.ON. NORTH CAROLINA. FRIDAY. AUGUST 12. 1338 FARM ANI) HOME J. E.

During this same pe riod, the fertilizer industry pay rolls increased 11 per cent and em ployment 64 per cent. FARM and home week attracts BIG CROWD With the return of approximate ly 1,500 delegates to their homes, books were closed last Saturday on the 35th chapter of Farm and Horne Week, one of the most suc cessful ever held. Joint sessions and classroom work occupied the delegates dur ing the morning, and demonstra tions, exhibits, and tours were fea tured during the afternoon. Among the resolutions adopted were those calling for sufficient State appropriations to match Fed eral funds for agricultural re search, Federal aid to publii schools, the early establishment of a 12th grade in the public schools of the State, a better farm mar keting program for North Caro lina, and the transfer of the State prison farm near Meredith College to State College for the “develop ment of real livestock work.’’ HILLIARD’S POND FISHING CLUB A fishing club has been organiz ed at Hilliard’s pond, 5 miles south of Zebulon. This is one of the best fishing grounds in Eastern Caro lina and is accessable to Releigh, Wilson, Selma, Rocky Mount, and other cities and towns in this sec tion. The stock is offered for the next 90 days at SIOO per share. The convenience of this club makes it very attractive. Fishing is good throughout the season. If anyone is interested in a share write John nie Hilliard, Middlesex, R. 1. He lives 6 1-2 miles south of Zebulon near Friendship Church. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy; reverse it, and Jack is a poor boy. | If You Go To % X BLOWING ROCK | Stop With | % MRS.

So that’s why these two firms in Zebulon keep on doing consistent advertising. Read then ads in this issue of the Record.

Y., of cerebral hemorrhage, af ter suffering for months from high blood pressure. Formerly Della Forker, daughter of a Kansas mer chant, she was married in 1901 when her husband was earning S6O a month. Not long ago a series of articles in The Saturday Evening Post gave a biographical sketch of Mrs. Chrysler in connection with a more detailed story of her husband’s life.
