Many people have reached the cross roads with their personal prob lems. Domestic problems have been brought to the crossroads. Fi | nancial problems have been park ed at the crossroads. The young, the old and the middle aged have come with their problems to the | crossroads. Many national problems are , waiting at the crossroads. The ed ! ucational problems are waiting at ! the crossroads. The housing prob- I lems are at the crossroads. The | economic and moral problems have ! reached the crossroads. Many of the international issues j are at the crossroads, and more are | one the way to the crossroads. In- I ternational good will, peace trea t ties with world settlements have j only gotten to the crossroads. It seems all people with all their problems and with all their issues have stalled at the crossroads. It may be that the person who thought out the red traffic light for the crossroads was not after all a benefactor. N. C. Leads Nation Another “first” for North Car olina was marked up this week as Julian E. Mann, State director of the Federal Crop Insruance Cor poration, announced that the Tar Heel State now leads the nation in number of farmers who have sign ed contracts for Federal insurance on their crops. With only 17 counties partici pating, North Carolina has 30,560 crop insurance contracts in force. Os this number, 23,574 were sign ed in 1950, and the other 6,986 are carryovers from previous years. All contracts are written on a continuing basis and remain in ef fect until cancelled. In addition, Mann said, the Tar Heel State has the highest per centage of eligible farmers signed up in cotton counties, and its rec ord in premium collections last year was second highest in the South and well above the nation al average. Cleveland leads all cotton coun ties in the State in percentage of eligibles under cor tract. Beaufort, which started its program only this year, leads the tobacco coun ties, with Caswell and Jones tied for second place. Mann said credit for the State’s outstanding record in crop insur ance is due to the work of coun ty FCIC committees and sales agents appointed by them, as well as to the cooperation of other agri cultural agencies and far mgroups. The Zebulon Record Os North Carolina’s total num ber of contracts, 23,679 are written on tobacco, 6,635 on cotton, and 246 on multiule crops. Tobacco insur ance is offered in Caswell, For syth, Surry, Stokes, Vance. Wake, Beaufort, Duplin, Jones, Pitt, Wil son, and Columbus; cotton insur ance, in Cleveland, Polk, Mecklen burg, and Rutherford; and multi j pie crop insurance, in Perquimans only.

The four-day program will in clude special demonstrations, tours to points of interest in Raleigh and nearby towns, and discussions on subjects affecting the farm and home.

A special feature will be a square dance on the fi nal evening. Advance room reservations may be made by writing Miss Maud Schaub, P. O. Box 5157, State Col lege, Raleigh. Room fee for each person is $3 for the week or $1 per night. Meals will be served in the College Cafeteria. New Service Negro farmers of the Brooks town community of Forsyth Coun ty are going in for poultry produc tion to a greater extent than ever before, says W. N. Knight, Negro county agent for the State College Extension Service. Most of these men, says Knight, are small farmers or truckers and believe they can raise chickens ec onomically by growing part of the grain needed to feed the birds. One farmer, Walter Moore Hair ston, told the county agent that in previous years most families in the community have had to buy their chickens from city markets, and as a result very few of them have been able to afford this delicacy. Now, however, Hairston said, there’s nothing unusual about meeting a small boy who breaks MY MOST SINCERE THANKS MM to All Those Wonderful People ■BfiHp Who Gave Me Their Support during My Campaign I wish I could personally thank each person who cast his ballot for me in the Democratic Primary. I pledge my con tinued efforts and cooperation in community progress. —BARRIE S. DAVIS. America Produces Its Own Nitrogen m adßito >ft■w. . Thl* is the world’s largest nitrate of soda manufacturing plant. L<£ cated on the James River at Hopewell, Virginia, it is the horns of “ARCADIAN”, the American Nitrate of Soda, “A-N-L” Nitrogen For* tilizer, and other nitrogen products. AT the turn of the century, leading scientists were tell ing us that our future food supply would be inadequate to meet our needs. In fact, the famous British scientist, Sir William Crookes, pre dicted that, in the not too distant future, the fertility of the world’s wheat-growing lands would become exhausted and the bread-eating na tions would probably disappear from the world. His prediction was based on the theory that by 1930 the nitrate mines of South America would be exhausted. Humanity then would be faced with a shortage of fertilizer nitrogen which, in turn, would cause a disastrous shortage of grain and other food crops. As we now know. Sir William and the other scientists were wrong, because chemists through out the world accepted their dire predictions as a challenge and went to work to do something about it. Experiments were begun to find out if the vast supply of nitrogen in the atmosphere could be cap tured and made available to plants as fertilizer. After years of inten sive work, a process was developed for the production of atmospheric nitrogen fertilizer. This process now yields “ARCADIAN”, the American Nitrate of Soda, and "A-N-L” Nitrogen Fertilizer. Most farmers in the South know that nitrogen fertilizer is necessary for high crop yields and profitable returns. Nitrogen is acclaimed as the "growth element” because plants cannot live and grow with out it. Four-fifths of the earth's atmosphere is nitrogen, but most plants cannot use it until it has been "fixed” in some available form, such as nitrate or ammonia nitrogen. The great nitrogen plant on *'• into a broad smile as he says, “We had chicken for Sunday.” Hairston is one of several farm ers interested in growing chick ens for home use.

C. James River has been called the heart of Southern prosperity. From its valves, flow the very life-blood of Southern agriculture. It supplies nitrogen for complete fertilizers to get crops off to a good start and nitrogen for side-dressing and top dressing to give crops an extra supply for green, healthy growth and high yields of top quality. Nitrogen, along with phosphorus and potassium, plays a major part in high yields of such crops as cotton, corn, small grains, tobacco, citrus fruits, potatoes, vegetable crops and many others. A relatively small expenditure for fertilizer re turns millions of dollars in extra food and fiber crops. In addition to giving increased crop yields, nitrogen fertilizer de termines to a large extent the pro tein content of food and feed crops. For each pound of nitrogen con sumed by a plant, six and one fourth pounds of protein is re turned as food for man or animaL A ton of nitrate of soda, contain ing 16% nitrogen, would poten tially return 2,000 pounds of plant protein, or the protein contained in about 5,700 pounds of cottonseed meal. Nitrogen not only helps make more food and fiber crops, it also helps produce better crops. With a supply of commercial nitrogen available in adequate quantities, future generations can be assured of plenty of nutritious bread and other foods, produced from nitrogen made in our own plants right here in the U. S. A. These are some of the reasons why American products, such as “ARCADIAN” Nitrate of Soda and “A-N-L” Nitrogen Fertilizer, are so vitally important to the American mer. with 300 baby chicks.
