CAPITAL REPORTER This week and perhaps the first two or three days of next week will, for all practical purposes, decide the issues of the 1951 Gen eral Assembly. Unless liberal forces can devel op some bacHy-lacking leadership and coordination of efforts with in that period they might as well go on home and let the conserva tive “hold-the-liners” have the legislature to themselves. Be cause if they don’t get jrganized— and quickly the conservative group will be able to push through just what it wants. At the start of the session, the Assembly was split into three camps. They were (1) a small, close-knit group of anti-Scott conservatives pledged to no new taxes and no new spending; (2) a small, loosely-coordinated group of administration-supporting lib erals, pledged to a program of what they considered needs for expansion of state services even if several new taxes —or expansion of old ones were necessary; and (3) the very large group of legis- Season of Prayer Starts Wednesday The annual observance of the season of prayer for Home Mis sions will be held here on Wed nesday of next week at the Baptist Church with the Woman’s Mission ary Society in charge of program. The meeting will begin at 10:00 a. m. Lunch will be served at church during an hour’s intermission at noon. Afternoon service will con clude at 2:30. All interested per sons are invited.

Liberal group (2) had as its aims an “expansion of needed ser vices,” increasing of appropria tions to meet rising costs of opera tion and at least keep services up to par, and political support and campaign issues that would put another liberal leader in the Gov ernor’s Mansion come 1952. Both of these two groups have been tusseling for control of the third group, made up to a large degree of freshman legislators. In the Senate the conservatives are fairly well in control. They are led by such high-octane, hotel room legislating specialists as Riv ers Johnson of Duplin, Grady Ran kin of Gaston, John Larkins of Jones and apparently have been receiving at least token aid from (Continued on Page 8) Cpl.

C., Friday, March Veteran Learns Value Os Farm Terraces In Training Program Clyde Garner, a member of the veterans’ agricultural training class at the Garner High School, was | reared on the flat lands of east | ern North Carolina, but he is quite conscious of the erosion on his farm here in Wake County. He terraced some of his land last year and on his tobacco land followed the special string method of laying out ro\Vs. Technicians of the Soil Conservation Service assisted him recently in staking out the re mainder of his farm. Mr. Garner says that he will start the con struction of his terraces soon so that the building will not inter fere with his farming this spring. • Several farmers have called to our attention the value of r little mulch on their land in obtaining a stand of pasture grasses this win ter. Where land was turned and the organic matter left deep in the "round, the small pasture plants Vd Mtt’e protection from the cold winds. The reverse was true where ‘he 'esoedeza or other vegetation was only disced and left on the top "*f the ercund. This thin cover n~ of organic matter acted as a h’anket in oreventing freezing and v i’ling of the tender p’ants. H. M. Olive of the Ohve Chape l Community prepared and seeded two road banks on either side of his horn p. One side he mulched with pin t straw and the other side was left unmulched. Both sides were otherwise treated the same on the same day. They were seed ed the first of December. Today the mulched bank is green but the unmulched side has washed with small rivulets leading to the side ditch of the road. The stand of grass is scattering.
