Sheffield, assistant director of the North Carolina State College Extension Service 1 . "Everywhere far mers and business men are cooperat ing to put into actual operation the slogan of the campaign this year, 'Farm to Make a Living in 1931'." However, Mr. Sheffield finds that there are some misunderstandings among farmers relative to the raising of certain farm products. He found on Strips made during the past three weeks, in connection with speaking engagements, that the farmers of the state had sold off brood sows quite heavily lasi year, to obtain ready cash. He thinks that this is an incorrect po licy. He feels that the brood sow is one of the best investments' on the farm and a sure money-maker. He ur ges farmers everywhere to increase in stead of diminishing their hog supply. Another interesting farm fact learn ed during the January campaign was that farmers in sections where they kept no poultry records, had sold off much poultry. "Where they did not know that they were making a small profit on the poultry flock, handled without much trouble and* with a minimum time effort, many farmers depleted their flocks because they thought that they were losing money or making none. In most cases, if they had kept accurate records, they would have found that they were making a profit. A poultry flock of 50 or more hens ought to bring in a small but steady income to any farmer anywhere in -the state." Mr. Sheffield urges the farmers this year to increase their flocks and not to sell too many hens for meat profits. * He also met several individuals >vh«i readily admitted that they made a good living last year, due to the rais ing iff hogs, poultry and garden pro duce Bank Merger Is Effected In Pitt County This Week The consolidation of the Green ville Hanking & Trust Co., with the Bethel Banking «t Trust Co., which was apprpved by the directors and stockholders at their annual meeting on January 13, becomes effective to day. This gives Pitt county one of the outstanding bartking .institutions of Kastern North Carolina, with total capital invested in excess of $275,000 and total resource of two and a quarter million. The Bethel bank will be operated as j the Greenville Banking & Trust Co., i Bethel, N. C., with S. C. Ives cashier. The Greenville Banking & Trust Company is now operating the home office on Evans street, the Dickinson avenue branch and the Grimesland and Bethel branches. It was organized in I'Hll with capital of SIO,(KM) and has shown steady and persistent growth since its organization. Although it has been customary in the past for deposits to decline after January 1, such has not been the case this year. Deposits show a substantial increase since January 1.

Roper Storekeeper Catches 'Possum Robbing His Store | Instead of the usual two-legged thief that breaks into stores and raids the stock, J. W. Chesson, of Roper, dis-j j covered an opossum Saturday night • that evidently has been stealing eggs, meat, etc. from his place of business; 'since last November. Attributing the 'loss to rats and mice, several people in j the store were astonished Saturday night, after hearing a noise, when they found the 'possum. The animal had evidently made his home under the j store .for the past months and was getting along fine on the provender Ihe found there. Mr. Chesson has the animal in a box and expects to even- j tually tame him. ! BETTER COTTON FROM PURE SEED Survey Made on 232 Farms Reveals Interesting Seed Facts ■ • Pure seed of improved varieties pro-1 duced tlie best quality of lint and gave the best acre yields of seed cotton as| compared with mixed seed and poorj varieties* according to a survey made on 232 farms in four ginnings areas i last year. The survey was made by Jerry H.| Moore, cotton technologist at State College, who secured samples of all cotton varieties grown on the 232 fars. The samples were collected prin ciapply in Lenoir, Northmapton, Union and Mecklenburg counties. Mr. Moore says many interesting facts were learned "during the course of the study. He found, for instance, that many growers got planting seed from neigh bors without stopping to investigate the puritjff of the seed. In many cases, the seed so obtained were no better than those already beitig grown on the farm. It was found also that some growers change their seed every year 1 and some never made a change. In . those v areas where one cotton variety predominated, the seed stocks have ! been kept up to a fair standard with- ' out any special effort to iniprove the j teed or to prevent mixing at the 10-| cal gin*. It was'found further that the len-j | gth and uniformity of staple is directly' I associated with the selection and care of seed stocks. Pure seed of the im . proved varieties nearly always produc | ed a superior staple as compared with the inferior staple from the short staple, mixed or run-down varieties. As a result of the survey, Mr. Moore is convinced that the source and care of planting seed is the most important factor in the control of the farmer by which he.may produce a uni form staple of good quality measuring 15-16 to one and one-sixteen inch. He urges growers to get good seed and then prevent their being mixed at gins. WILLIAIMTON MO.TH CAWOCIWA Sunday Services at the Local Christian Church 9:45 A. M. Sunday School. 11 ;A. M.
