t' Page Eight THE PILOT. Southern Pines and Aberdeen, North Carolina Friday, August 17, 1934. rheatre IState’s “Live-at-Home” Program Salvation of Tar Heel Farmers Not to be classed as exactly a Musical Comedy, yet a real comedy with incidental music and special musical numbers, is “Romance In The Rain.” which is the attraction at tre Southern Pines Theatre, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, August 20, 21, 22, with a Tuesday matinee. As a clean, wholesome comedy ro mance mounted on a plot tinged with modern fantasy and marked by good performance throughout, this picture stacks up as topnotch entertainment fare for general appeal. With brilliant dialogue, clever sit- uation.s, beautiful songs and dance ensembles, “Romance In The Rain,’’ is fun, its clean and its romance wtih a capital R. As an added attraction, Bing Cros by will be presented in the first ot his series of short musical specials, entitled “I Surrender Dear.” After a long absence from the screen, the fans will surely welcome the all-time favorite. Harold Lloyd, who comes Thursday, Friday and Saturday, August 23, 24, 25, with a Saturday matinee, in his new com edy special, “The Cat’s Paw,’’ taken from the well known serial of the same name, published in the Satur day Evening Post. A packed house at its preview' in San Diego, Califor- nia, gave it many laughs and pro longed applause. It is radically differ ent from Lloyd’s previous pictures, and Lloyd goes over big as Ezekiel O. Cobb, son of a Chinese mission ary who comes to American for a wife and for children, and ends up as a substitute reform candidate for mayor. He punches the liberal can didate in the jaw for hitting a child and is swept into office. Because of the extra length of “The Cat’s Paw” there will be but a short preliminary program, and we suggest that patrons be in the thea tre not later than 8:30. GETS THIRTY DAYS FOR ROCKING NEIGHBOR’S HOUSF: iHaniiers “Bulletin” Cites Figures' I to Show Benefits of Shift from Money Crops Johnny Williard, white of tlie Glen- don community, was given thirty ■lays for throwing some rocks at the home of a neighbor, this to be sus pended upon payment of a fine of $25 and the costs. Buck Leak, colored, got drunk, which perhaps accounts for the fact that he was seemingly unaware that his clothing was not properly adjust ed, and walked up to a truck park ed in Jackson Springs and occupied by two men. Noticing that one of the doors was open, he gave.it a vig orous slam which caused the glass to be shattered. On Wednesday in Recorder’s Court, an a public drunk enness charge he was fined $25 and the cost and ordered to pay for the glass he broke, and for indecent ex posure was fined $10. Raymond McQueen, a colored man who who was formerly with Ringling Brothers, staged a little circus act a few days ago while working in the peach belt by getting drunk, carrying a concealed weapon and striking one Maggie Roberson with his fist. Four months on the roads was the sen tence. North Carolina’s “Live-at.Home” progi'am, inaugurated in 1929 by Governor Gardner and carried through through under a long-time plan enlarged by Governor Ehring- haus, has attracted such nation-wide attention that the “Bulletin” of the Agricultural Commission of the | American Bankers Association tor; August devoted three of its four i pages to a summary, five-year report, | ables showing increase in food and l feed crops and 13 pictures of rural I live-at-home activities. In the five-year period, 1829-33, it shows that cotton acreage was reduc ed 34.4 per cent, with slight reduc tions in acreage of the two other main money crops, tobacco and pea* nuts. A few of the minor food crops were reduced, such as wheat, oats, barley and rye, but corn was increas ed, in acreage, 18 5 per cent. In land development crops, lespedeza increas ed in acreage 323 per cent; cowpeas, 175 per cent; soybeans. 8 2 per cent, and hay, 22,6 per cent; home gar dens increased in acreage 111 per cent; sorphuni, 80 per cent; truck crops, 41.4 per cent; sweet potatoes, 38.5 per cent; irish potatoes, 25,8 per cent; fruits also increased in bushels produced; apples. 99,9 per cent; peaches, 32,5 per cent; pears, 11,2 per cent; pecans, 5.4 per cent; livestock increases in five years was dairy cows. 15 per cent; other cows, 3.6 per cent; brood sows, 16 per cent; sheep, 4.5 per cent; laying hens. 14.6 per cent. The State grows enough Irish and sweet potatoes for its own consum- tion. but needs more in other basic foods. It produced only 77 per cent of ^ the corn needed in 1933; only 30 per cent of the wheat, 23.7 percent of the oats; 91 per cent of the hay, 67.6 per cent of the beef and veal; 20 I per cent of lamb mutton; 73.5 per cent of the pork and lard I 61 per cent of the milk and 65 per cent of the poultry and eggs. “The shift (rrom money to food and feed crops) kept thousands of farmers from losing their farms dur ing the bad times, as they were able to use cash crop returns mainly to pay interest on mortgages and to re tire production credit liens.’’ the Bul letin states. In 1933 the canned fruits and vegetables jumped to 11,570,950 cans, as compared with an average' of around a million cans a year for the 12 years up to 1931. Canning, preservmg, gardens, field.J, storage houses, sorghum grinding and boil ing and other live-at-home activities are shown in the pictures carried.

LEACH’.S HAVE I).\l'OHTER Until recently hot, dirty and dusty trains had been accepted as the standard thing in train transporta tion. With the advent of air-condi tioning in tiP'nc, Seaboard Air Line Railway, ever on the alert for im proving thcr comfort of its pa^ren. geis, has adopted air-conditioned equipment on a most extensive scale. H. E. Pleasants, Seaboard Air Line Railway's representative at Ral eigh, N. C., yesterday told of the ad vantages of summer travel in Sea board’s air-conditioned trains. Mr. Pleasants explained jthat only the latest type of air-conditioning equip ment is used on Seaboard trains. A paramount fact for passengers in air-conditioned cars to remmber is that they breathe fresh air for the duration of their journey. It is not necessary to open windows. In fact, opening windows has much the same effect on an air-conditioned car as opening the door of an ice-box. As people vary in their selection of clothed and foods, so do they vary in their opinions of what constitutes a “most comfortable temperature." To compensate for this, and because it has been found that the variation of “most comfortable temperatures” is only two or three degrees, the temperature during the day always hovers within a few degrees of sev enty-six. While sleeping, cooler tem peratures are desired, and the tem- perature is kept within a few degrees of seventy-one. Seaboard Air Line operates many fine trains. Notable among them are two all-year trains, the "Southern States Special” and the “New York- Florida Limited” which serve At lanta, Birmingham, Columbus, Flor ida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia, and W'’.shington, Baltimore Philadel phia and New York in eith..*r of these trains passengers enjoy all of the benefits of Seaboard’ air-condi tioning and throughout their journey they can rest in cool, clean comfort, and arrive at their destination in the pink of condition. TO BEAUTIFY CEMETERY A daughter was born to Mr. and The committee for the all-union Mrs, Ralph Leach of Aberdeen Wed- cemetery requests all interested per- nesday. Both mother and daughter sons to be present on Thursday, are doing splendidly. Mrs. Leach was August 23, 1934 to help beautify the formerly Miss Pauline Butner of cemetery of Union Presbyterian i Pinebluff. church. From Dr, Proctor’s orchard near Old Bethesda church come some of the most striking peaches ever picked in the Sandhills. Samples show'n m Southern Pines last week measured over three inches in diameter and three and a half inches in length from top to bottom. They were of an intense red color all over, with a deep red yellow flesh, and perfect in form, coloring and in condition. Dr. Proc tor has gained a reputation for the fruit from his orchard, and this sum- mer’s output does not detract from its standing. His location is picturesque there on the hill side overlooking the historic valley, and his home and or chard are created in a way that fits in with his surroundings in a man ner that makes his place a cummun- ity point of interest. The road through his orchard and to the top of Mt. Helicon will some day be a route sought out by visitors, for it not only opens a vista that covers one of the most interesting bits of scenery in Middle North Carolina, but it.flanks the story of develop ment in the Sandhills from the day when Patterson in 1766 secured the patent from the state for the tract of land on which Bethesda church now stands. Dr. Proctor is one of the features of the Sandhills. NORTH C.AROLINA FARMERS’ EXC’H.XNrJE NOW IN OPER.VTION The farmers’ Cooperative Exchange of North Carolina in process of or ganization for the past year, is now' engaged in actual operations w'ith of fices at Raleigh. Set up for both co operative purchasing and marketing, the Cooperative Exchange serves ap proximately 75 mutual exchanges— cooperative buying and selling asso ciations incorporated under the mu- tual exchange act of North Carolina. It also operates its own stores. Such stores are in operation at Burlington and Charlotte. The Farmers’ Cooperative Ex change, better known as F. C. X., is a merger of all cooperative purchas ing activities in North Carolina. F. C. X has worked out an agree ment by which Southern States Coop erative furnishes the wholesale sup- nly of feeds in the eastern half of the State. In the Piedmont section, feed is manufactured for F. C. X by the Statesville Milling Company, which formerly supplied the Produc ers Mutual Exchange. All feed is sold under F. C. X brands, with formulas approved by the college feed confer ence board and the State Agricultur. al College. Plans for next season’s fertilizer business are now being made.
