PAGE FOUR STATE SCHOOLS IN BETTER FIX I THAN AVERAGE Expect Two-Thirds To Be Able To Maintain Their Extended Term Raleigh.—North Carolina's schools are in much better shape than 'he av-J erage of the states, and near the top in the nation, especially the six-J months state-operated term. Dr. A. T. i Allen, state superintendent of .public instruction, states, adding that there may be some trouble in continuing the extended term, but even in these he estimates that more than two-thirds of the schools of the state will have their usual extended terms. Dr. Allen bad been sent a marked copy of an Arkansas paper contain- * jflg a report of a survey, now about two Weeks old, which showed that i 735 of the more than 3,(1(10 schools in | Arkansas had closed, after operating an average of 3.9 months this year, as compared with 6.5 months last year. ( 'The closing involved 36,835 pupils out I of the State's enrollment of 456,(1(1(1. ■"More than one-thirl of the • teachers i are not being paid promptly," it wis t stated. - I While some of t|,ic people of North • Carolina arc asking that the public t schools be closed at thcend of the six I months and -not try to operate during J the extended term, Dr. Allen expresses f the belief that more than one-third f will be able to pay out by the time the f extended terms close, more than an- t other third witf continue to operate J with the tax mOUey in sight and pay > the teachers when it is collected later t in the year, while less than a third will not attempt to continue after six , months, due to the economic condition.' , "When the people have an oppor- j ! tunity to speak, the usually show that - KIK --[ a - r ~ - ■ The Perfect Laxative It is the safe, sure, positive, effective laxa tive, that does not gripe ' or bind.

IBARTER 13 cows FOR SOYBEANS —•— I Beaufort Farmers Swap Beans for Cows With Davidson Men # ! Beaufort County farmers have 13 'high-grade dairy cows which they could not have paid for in cash, and Davidson County farmers have an ade 1 quate supply of soybean seed for plant j ing this year because they were wilf ! ing to takfc the seed for the cows. The two groups pf farmers arc about 225 miles apart, yet through the ini tiative of Farm Agent P. M. Hen dricks the exchange was made on a fair basis that was satisfactory to both | groups. When Mr. Henrdicks learned that a group of his cooperating farm- ( ers needed some soybean seed and had some surplus cows, he took up the matter with County Agent E. P. Welch, of Beaufort County. Mr. Welch ..ascertained that his farmers would like to have the cbws in/ex change for some of their surplus soy beans. A. C. Kiriircy, dairy extension ialist, was called and asked to inspect j the cows and select those which would lie suitable for the Beaufort farmers, j A price of $56 each w«S agreed upon for the 13 animals selected, and the handling charges amounted to $3 ad ditional, or $59 each. The Beaufort farmers set their price for soybean seed at sl6(J"for Laredo, and 60 cents for mammoth yellows. On this basis the exchange was made. This gave the Davidson folks more i soybean seed than they needed,, so i they gave other farmers an opportunl they are strong for continuing the schools whenever possible," Dr. Allen said. He had just received a letter advising that a backward and reao- ' tionary community in Rutheford Coun ty "had voted a 30 cent levy for the J extended term in the district. The registration was 491, of which 306 vot •ed for and 132 against the levy, the • latter showed. "This i» the first time in the history j of Rutherford County that any part , of this territory has ever voted any J tax and in my judgment is an encour- j aging indication of the school spirit in j Rutherford County," Sjupt. Clyde A. Erwin wrote. | TONSIL AND ADENOID CLINICS Since there will be no tinsil and ade noid clinics for school children put on ' by the State Board Of Health this j year, Dr. C. J.

When Apple Trees in Full 1 Bloom Is Signal for Gardeners - Whenthe trees are —in ful bloom, many North Carolina garden ers use this as a signal to make theii first plantings of tender, vegetables ir the open. Some take a 4 chance on ear lier plantings, but it is a fact thai plantings of tender vegetables may bt made in the first 'part of April in the central and eastern parts of the State, witrt the mountain and foothill coun try planting about .three weeks later, • • * 1 "Every gardener will find it worth while to make some trial plantings of sweet corn this season. This a good early April job,'' says E. B Mor row, garden specialist at State Col lege. "The second-early varieites do fetter in North Carolina than the ear nest, small-eared varieties. We rec | omniend trial plantings of Bantam ' Evergreen, Golden Sunrise, White Sun !ri-»e, and Goldenrod. Tomatoes .should also be started this month. The seed 1 may lie planted in a protected bed or ' a window box and just as soon as thr young seedlings are ready to handle, plant them. 4 by 4 feet apart in an out door bed to give stock, well-ryoted plants for the open field. In setting 1 out the plants Hit as much dirt as pos sible with them." | The final April job, says Mr. Mor row, is to be prepared to fight insects and plant diseases, Preparedness in this respect may save heavy losses. | . ' ■ , " . ' ty to get sonic for cash at a reduced price at the car door when the seed ar rived in Lexington. The saving on the seed amounted to about $125, and "in addition those who could hardly af ford to buy the seed outright at local market prices were furnished a sup ply. On the other hand, the Beau fort farmers have 13 cows which were badly needed. ! According to C. A. Sheffield, assist ! ant extension director at State Col ' lege, this incident shows how farmers |of the State may exchange goods to ! the advantage of all when they are | willing to work together for the com j mon good.
