Negro County Agent B. T. McNeill says that Sylvia, Bernice, and Clarence Hodges, working with their father Jim Hodges, have been able to make a good start toward establishing a permanent curb market on their farm near Hope Mills. About three years ago the 4-H’ers selected vegetable garden (Continued on Page 4) Oriental Theme At YWA Meet; Study Course An oriental theme was carried out when the YWA met November 115 at the home of Mrs. Willard , Gill.

Rice Reports Barley Seed Is In Good Supply “Davie barley is superior to any other barley now being grown in the state,” says John C. Rice, di rector of the North Carolina Crop Improvement Association. The seed supply is being built up by the certified growers of the state, he reports. Almost three times as much certified Davie Barley seed will be available to small grain grow ers for planting this fall as com pared to last year. This season, says Rice, over 3,000 bushels will be available for planting. Smut free clean seed was re leased to the certified seed grow ers by the N. C. Foundation Seed Producers. Rice points out that through rigid inspection of the N. C. Crop Improvement Association, certified seed of amut free Davis variety will be available. Rice adds that extensive demonstra tions have shown that smut free seed has yielded as much as 17 bushels more per acre over non treated diseased seed. The Davie variety is a cross of Sunrise and Bolivia. It is a beard less type similar to Colonial bar ley. Rice' indicates that Davie is more mildew and rust resistant than Colonial 2, the latter grown in many parts of the state. Davie has good resistance to barley scald, a disease that kills the leaves; and in areas of the Pied mont where scald is becoming a problem. Davie outyields other varieties, according to Rice. Both Colonial 2 and Davie are recommended and' certified, says Rice. The yield record on Davie has been similar to that of Colo nial 2, but Rice feels that the ad ditional disease resistance makes it superior in those areas of the state where mildew and rust are problems. In winter hardiness, adds Rice, Davie is equal to the other recommended, barleys. Wakefield WMS Hold Prayer Week The Wakefield Woman’s Mis sionary Society will observe Week of Prayer this week.

That is the consensus of opinion by the members of the Senior and Junior women who did attend. This was the monthly meeting of the Junior Club, and the Senior Club women were guests. The Senior club also counted this as their regular meeting. Mrs. Elwood Perry, program chairman for the Junior Club for the month of November, initiated the idea of having the local Wo man’s Clubs take a tour of the State Art Museum for the purpose of acquainting them with the prize art treasures owned by our State. As an extra added attraction during the month of November and December, the Museum has a traveling show of the Rembrandt oils and etchings. Mrs .Perry said that too often we visit other museums of art in dis tant cities and are not even ac quainted with the works of art which our own State has. The North Carolina State Art Museum is considered by art offi cials to be one of the most out standing in the South. Attending the showing were Mrs. Ralph Bunn, Mrs. Charles Creech, Mrs. Elwood Perry, Mrs. Arm strong Cannady, Mrs. Ted Milam, Mrs. Ed Ellington and Miss Ruby Dawson, all of the Junior Club; Mrs. F. E. Bunn, Mrs. E. H. Moser,* Mrs. Foster Finch, Mrs. Fred Page, Mrs. W. O. Glover, Mrs. Exum Chamblee, Mrs. C. G. Weathersby and Mrs. Irby Gill, all of the Sen ior Club.
