Those w'ho ride and w'alk I 70 per cent of the growers aver- much can testify to stumbling across cans and refuse continu ally as they go through the woods. We do not know’ to what au thority one can legally appeal for control of such a nuisance. It is 'hardly possible that an over worked county health service can accomplish much. But public opinion led by our Civic Club and our Chamber of Commerce could in short order clear the countryside of these garbage heaps as they cleaned up our streets and yards in town. To start the ball rolling, we offer the suggestion that those among us whose garbage is hauled away by local garbage men inquire where it is thrown and see to it that it is dumped in the appoint ed place. In cleaning up the countryside, it might be that a rather un sightly stretch of road could be improved. About half way be- age about $250 for their w'ork cents, which was the average from 1917 to 1932, the tenant got about $425, but even at that he didn't accumulate enough but w'hat the old saying held true: “When a cotton tenant moves all he has to do is spit on the fire and call the dog." Except during the drought in the west and the low prices of recent years there has been no such poverty anywhere in the United States as among the cot ton tenants in the Southeastern stat'^ 3. The carry-over of United States cotton steadily increased from 4,500,000 bales in 1929 to 13,500,000 bales in 1932 and was MISS ADAMS CHEERLEADER Miss Lelia Adams, a senior, was last Friday elected head cheerleader of Southern Pines High School.
