A FAIR WHAT WAS A FAIR The editor’s oldest brother, R. L. Davis, of Palisades, Washington, lives in the Coulee, the basin of an extinct volcano. The soil is unus ually fertile, but crops must be ir rigated to produce their best. This basin is one of the finest fruit sections of the United States. This country also prbduces some of the finest beef type cattle found anyv here. The North Central Washington Fair closed the 15th instant at Waterville, Wash. In a recent letter he writes: “The fair closed yesterday. Very good. We attend ed Saturday P. M. The above (33 yearling beef cattle) list of 4-H Club cattle sold Saturday. The one marked “x” brought $1.30 per pound, and the average for the lot was slightly above 40 cents per pound. The fruits and vegetables on display were sold for the hos pital fund and brought S6OO. Ad mission SI.OO and 14,000 attended. Had pigs weighing 800 pounds and many other things too numerous to mention.” Byway of comparison this re minds one of our local fair! A lot of interest and real work are nec essary to have a good fair. About all the community gets out of our so-called fair is the pleasure (?) we have in seeing thousands of our hard-earned dollars depart to return no more. The local pi'o moters get a passing dip into the cream on the surface and the car nival crowd takes most of the cream and all the milk along with them. But we seem to like it and seem glad on their return to stick us again. Barnum was right in saying we love to be humbugged, and we m |ht add, seemingly we also enjoy throwing our money away. A real good local fair would be both educational and entertaining, but what we usually have is little short of the old carnival with its nude women and gambling sharps. Conservation Mote by J. Gordon Olive Mr. E. C. Hare of Holly Springs has seeded three or four acres of tobacco land in oats, rye and crim son clover to be used for tempora ry grazing. Mr. Hare is one of the wide awake farmers in his com munity that recognizes the value of his animals doing their own harvesting, especially when it is so difficult to save hay. He also recognizes the value of cover crops to build the soil and add more organic matter to the soil. Supplementary gracing relieves the injury caused by animals grazing too closely permanent pas tures in winter months. Mr. H. M. Olive established a permanent pasture in 1939 by fer tilizing, liming and seeding to a permanent pasture a mixture of orchard grass, redtop grass, Dallis grass, white clover and lespedeza. This did well the first and second year but in the next three years there was an increasing amount of weeds, especially bitter weeds. This spring Mr. Olive decided to try fertilizing the pasture. He used an 0-14-7 at the rate of 600 pounds per acre. The grazing has been excellent and he states as his opinion that fertilizing is the best method of eradicating bitter weed. He has observed when Dallis grass and lespedeza and white clover is best there is little bitter weed. Mr. F. S. (Jakie) May of Wen dell has three farm plans with the Neuse River Soil Conservation District of Wake County. This year the personnel of the District laid off master rows by th'e string method in two terrace intervals. Mr. May likes it so well he wants all rows run like that another year; he thinks it is worth $50.00 to SIOO.OO per acre, because he has less drowning of tobacco and less erosion of soil. Mr. John Rich, manager of W. W. Holding farms is seeding 28 acres of permanent pasture this fall and plans not to graze it until it is well established. CheckClassingCard For Cotton Values Farmers who are taking advan tage of the Smith-Doxey Act to have their cotton sampled and classed in the Government classing office at Raleigh should not sell their cotton before the small green card is returned, giving the grade, staple, and loan value of the cot ton. Dan F. Holler, Extension cotton marketing specialist at State Col lege, says that during the last two years, farmers have, in many in stances. sold their cotton at from one-half to six cents be’ovz the Government loan, or purchase price. “No grower should ever sell his cotton below the price stamped on the green card because this price represents the floor the govern ment is guaranteeing the cotton producer,” Holler says. The price stamped on the Smith- Doxey classing card this year is for the gross weight of the bale of cotton, and not for the net weight as it was last year. “Since prac tically all cotton is sold on a gross-weight basis, it is felt that this change will make the loan and purchase program much simpler to understand,” Holler says. All samples of cotton taken by the ginners this year will be cut from both sides of the bale in or der that a more accurate class may be obtained on the cotton. Cake Cutting Given For Wedding Pair On Tuesday evening September 18th, immediately following the Liles-Flowers wedding rehearsal, Mrs. W. C. C.-.mpen. aunt of the bride-elect, entertained at a cake cutting at her home in Zebulon honoring the bridal couple. Mr. and Mrs. Campen and their daughter, Mrs. Tom Davis, greet ed the guests.

Crystal candelabras held white tapers and crystal cornuco pias filled with gardenias were used on each corner of the table. After Miss Flowers and Captain Liles had cut the first slice, Mrs. E. G. Cothran, of Raleigh, served the wedding cake. Dainty bridal ices and nuts were served by Mrs. Tom Davis, Mrs. C. E. Flowers, and Mrs. F. L. Page. Mrs. G. S.
