PAGE EIGHT THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS . MACON IAN ; THURSDAY, DEC. . 1MT, Sunspots May Influence Earth, Says Noted Astronomer Did you know that the best vin tage wines are from crops that grow in those years when sun spots are at a maximum? And that trees show their greatest growth in periods when the sur face of the sun shows the great est number of spots ? Or that the Dow-Jones stoek market averages follow a curve which is very simi lar to curves- -based on sunspot numbers ? . These are only a few of the many remarkable, but unexplained, coincidences between the activities of plant and animal life on earth and the appearance of those gigan tic electro-magnetic disturbances on the suri which man calls sun spots. More and more scientists, and others, are. probing sunspois and seeking to learn the relationship between their appearance and the multitudinous activities of earth bound man. In his .newest book "Sunspots and Their Effects from the Human Point of View," pub lished recently, Mr. Harlan True Stetson, astronomer and research associate of the Massachusetts In stitute of Technology, summarizes the knowledge which science now has in . its possession to analyze for the truth of falseness of specu lation on this intringuing matter. Dr.- Stetson goes out on no limb to forecast, in so many words, a definite relationship. Rather he piles up, item by' item, an impos ing array of facts which offer a true challenge to those who are skeptical jijfjhe, sunspot's bearing on terrestrial activity. Sunspots and their effect ohuman behav ior, growing things, , business, ra dio, sunlight, power,; earth magne tism and even carrier pigeon flight are presented for the -reader to note and draw his own conclusions. Governor Hoey Urges Three-Point Program RALEIGH, Dec. 8. A . three point farm program for North Carolina farmers, embracing diver sification, more livestock and crop rotation, is urged by Governor Clyde R. Hoey in his message to more than 25,000 readers of the new , 1938 Carolina Co-operator yearbook and almanac' . Governor Hoey said that the fact that the farmer had become a world citizen in that he must enter into competition with world markets in selling many of the products from his farm, emphasizes the necessity "for cooperation among farmers in the several com munities and in larger areas in successful marketing of the lead ing crops." "I 'have watched with interest and appreciation the many suc cessful cooperative associations which - afford the farmer the facil ities for . marketing his products at the most opportune time, and in the most profitable way," the governor said. The two largest farm coopera tives . in the state are the North Carolina Cotton Growers Coopera tive Association and the Farmers Cooperative. Exchange.

Many devices such as these are now on sale in European cities' as preparations for giant air-raid drills are planned to darken entire cities. A well-fed dairy cow produces about 13 tons of manure per year, and this has a value of from $2 to $8 a ton, 'depending upon the land and 'the crop grown. A water . system is among the first conveniences that should be added to a farm home because it removes drudgery, saves energy and time, improves health, aids in farm production and provides fire protection. -Dr. Jane S.

V Bryant Funeral Home Services the' Members Fertilizer Plant Owned By Farmers NORFOLK, , VA., Dec. 8. One of the largest farmer-owned fer tilizer plants in the world was formally opened near here today with more than 1,000 farmers and farm leaders from North Carolina and Virginia present. M. G. Mann, general-manager of the Farmers Cooperative Ex change of Raleigh, told the as sembled farmer's that the opening of the new plant, which is owned jointly by the" patrons of the Farmers Cooperative Exchange and the Southern States Cooperative, '"signifies the bringing together of the farm cooperatives as well as the farmers." "This new plant 'is farmer-owned and farmer-controlled," said Mr. Marin, "and it is dedicated to the purpose of supplying quality plant food on a cost basis, to its farmer-owners." Mr. Mann said that it was impossible to estimate in dollars and cents the saving that will accrue to farmers through the . operation of this cooperative fertilizer plant. 1 "It will serve as a regulator of both margins of profit and qual ity,"., Mr- Mann said, "and its in fluence should be very, very con structive, , in helping farmers to get more, for their fertilizer dol lars." The new fertilizer plant is lo cated at Portlock and has an an nual capacity of 75,000 tons. On it appears this inscriptidn: "Farmers have paid for many fertilizer plants. This is one they really own." " ; . . Erosion is said to cost the state of North Carolina $66,000,000 yearly by removing plant food alone,,,.
