EVERY FARM SHOULD HAVE A RADIO Raleigh, March 15.—Figures compiled by ‘the Department of Commerce of the United States show that there are only 1,363 ra dios in use on the farms of North Carolina. This figure is lower than it should be, in the opinion of Dean I. O. ^ehaub of the School of Ag riculture at State College. Dean Schaub states that every farm should have a radio and when the proposed state-owned broadcasting I station is put into actual use, he feels that there vyill be a tremend ous increase in the number of r. ! dios owned by farmers. “Last year,” says Dean Schaub, “there were 283,491 farms in North Carolina. This was an increase of nearly 20,000 over the number found in 1920 and when we con sider that only a little over 1,000 of these farms have radios, our standing is very low indeed. This is due in part to the fact that we have only one radio station, WBT at Charlotte, which sends out crop reports and market news.” According to Dean Schaub, there will undoubtedly be an increase in the number of radios on the farms in the near future. In some states, now, from 25 to 40 per cent of the farms are equipped with this modern source of information, j As a general rule, farmers have bought the best sets available. In 1923 it was found in a study made by the United States Department of Agriculture that on more than 1,000 farms widely scattered over the country, the average cost of the sets was $175. Today better and more easily operated sets can be bought for half of this amount. On account of the strides that have been made in perfecting the radio and the wonderful informa tion and entertainment prepared for the different broadcasting sta tions, Dean Schaub urges North Carolina farmers to give more at tention to this pew hired man, and, ,vhere feasible to put in a modern receiving set. Tom Tarheel says he is getting •eady to cash in on the shortage if horses and mules by trying to aise a few colts. Dr. Vicente Vita ltccent portrait of I>r.

Great Liquor Plant Destroyed In Craven Co. _ ] Beer Found Was Sufficient To Run Out 12,500 Gallons of Whiskey New Bern, March 12.—What is i said to be the largest moonshine plant ever raided in Nprth Caro lina was destroyed here yesterday in the eastern part of Craven Coun ty by M. C. McDuffie, of Fayette ville, district prohibition enforce ment officer and a party of assist ants. The plant has a capacity of 1.800 gallons, consisting of four '00-gallon copper stills and one with a capacity of 200 gallons,1 there were 152 fermenters, each capable of holding 500 gallons. These contained 75,000 gallons of beer. Not far from the plant was found 300 gallons of whiskey. i The officers estimated that the 75,000 gallons of beer was suffici- j ent to run out 12,500 gallons of whiskey. The cost of the sugar used was said to be $7,500. The entire cost of the plant was said to have been around $25,000. Nobody was found at the still at the time of the capture and no arrests have been made. TO SPEAK AT NAHUNTA CHURCH 13TH AND 14TH Rev. L. W.

Cow Not Always What She Seems Dairy Spcialist Gives Seven Points To Observe When Buy Cows 1. As a rule, it is not advisable to buy the first cow offered foi *alc but arrange to visit several farmers who have cows that thej will sell. As each animal is in spected, make a memorandum o: the cow as to her desirability, ud d.er, age, dairy type, defects anc price. 2. It is quite important to lean the age and this may usually b< determined by the appearance o: the teeth, horn and general condi tion of the animal. Never purchas* a matured Cow without first ex amining the teeth as her age ii largely indicated by the conditioi shown in the lower teeth. If yov wish to secure a cow under si: years of ago, the permanent teetl should always be sharp and shov no signs of having worn flat. A the age of three years, the anima has just two permanent teeth ii front, known as the pincer teeth Each succeeding year, two mor permanent teeth appear on eacl side of the pincers, so that at th age of six years, the animal ha Quick Relief All the tufiering In the world won't euro disease.

Temple Bailey ON AN ISLAND THAT COST $24_Irvin Cobb TWO DOLLARS EACH i full set of permanent teeth. Width between the ’teeth and ooseness does not always denote age. When the calf is born with the two temporary pincer teeth in front, they can always be moved, sometimes one-fourth of an inch, as loose teth are necessary so that while grazing the animal will not injure the upper lip. 3. When the heifer is one year old, a circle appears on the horn; • this disappears but reappears the | second year, also disappears but shows at the age of three, this time to remain permanent. There fore in computing age by counting the number of rings appearing on the animal’s horns, always add three years to each ring shown. This is only approximate. For in stance, a cow six years old will usually show three rings on the horn. 4. Do not depend altogether on the information as to age, amount of milk produced and date of fresh ening, as supplied by the owner. You must largely determine these important factors and do your own thinkir.g. If the cow is supposed to be within three months of the freshening period, the fetus can easily be located by ar^ external examination using the hand on the outer wall of the abdomen on the right side. 5. Decide what the cows are ac tually worth compared to similar cows in the community to which you are taking them, and do not pay more than the real value 6. If possible, after having vis ited several farms where cows are offered for sale and you have by this time a memorandum of each animal visited for your considera tion, then select the cow that you ire sure fully meets these require- j nents and can be purchased for 1 ler true value. i 7. After the cow has been pur chased and delivered to the farmer, I it is quite important for the coun ty agent to advise the new owner that the cow cannot produce milk without feed. A ration consisting af available grains, roughage and possibly purchased cottonseed meal could be figured out to the best advantage by the extension man and the farmer then taught how j to feed the cow liberally and prof-' itably—F. R. Farnham, Dairy Ex tension Specialist. MERCHANTS SCHOOL TO BEGIN MONDAY (Continued from page one) to help merchants sell more goods by delivering more for the custo mer’s dollar. A few samples of what happens as a result of these meetings are: salespeople sell more because they serve better; coopera tive advertising brings more trade to town; re-arranged stores that customers like better; window dis plays that bring more customers into the stores; buying methods that keep stocks down and assort ments up; profit figuring that in sures a mark-up fair to merchants and customers; general recogni tion of the retailer as a communi ty factor; a Merchants’ organize tion with a purpose and a plan; a business program . that puts stores “on their toes.” The Union Daily Times in com menting upon the institute held in Union, S. C., says: “Expressions of approval are coming to us from nany merchants and clerks. Union Vill be a better business center is a result of the institute.” The institute in Smithfield will le held in the courthouse, and the ime of the meetings will be an lounced later. 3LENDALE HONOR ROLL FOR FIFTH MONTH First grade: Rudolph Pittman, Hilda Stancil, S.

Costs More to Build—Is Worth More—Yet Sells for Less il any otner manutacturer endeavored to produce a car similar to the Ford according to the high standards of the Ford Motor Company, it would be impossible to offer it at any thing like the present low Ford prices. If the Ford Motor Company would substitute ordinary de sign for the basic Ford features. Ford cars could be produced and sold for less than the present Ford prices. Yet by so doing, Ford simplicity, durability and reliability would fall below the standard insisted upon by the Ford Motor Company. Just think! 13,000,000 model T Ford cars have been produced since 1908—almost as many automobiles as were built by all othermanufacturerscombined. In 1925, almost 2,000,000 Ford cars and trucks were built and sold—and plans for 1926 call for the production of even more than 2,000,000. It was the superiority of Ford design In 1908 that established Fora leadership. It is this same Ford design, improved but basically unchanged, that is continuing to make the Ford car the outstanding leader among all automobiles.
