PAGE FOUR GOOD WILL MEET AT PARMELE IS SUCCESS APRIL 2 Meeting at Training School Held To Promote Inter racial Good Will An interracial good-will meeting was held at the Parmele Training School Sunday afternoon, April 2, with Principal Claudius Chance, the promoter, presiding. The keen in terest in this type of meeting was shown by the presence of a large number of prominent white and col orde people. The following objec tives were set up as a means to a definite end: Better understanding: finer relation ship; spirit of cooperation: all forces working to build a better community. Those concerned were enthusiastic about it* results. Mr. Q. H. Cox, of Robersonville, spoke interestingly on building up a better community through proper understanding among all groups and working together in the spirit of cooperation. He referred to bank failures throughout the coun try, and the distressing consequences as fitting examples, due to the lack of the spirit of working for the better ment of all rather than the mere en richment of the few Mrs. Vernon Ward gave a splendid illustration of her interest in the uplift of all human beings. She spoke of having helped a little colored girl in her home and the very favorable reaction on the part of the girl, due to her interest. "We are here for service, hence we must blend our efforts to make out community a place of paradise," said Rev. E. A. Taylor, of Scotland Neck. Rev. J. M. Perry, of Robersonville, delivered a forceful address. He urg ed the best minds of the schools, churches and ministers of boffl" races to exercise their influence in bringing about a better understanding among j all people so as to make this a better j place in which to live. Mrs. H. A. ] Gray spoke of her interest in the bet- j terment of all people as her Christian duty. She also assured her hearers! of her interest in the success- of the i Training School. Lieutenant Oxley, j Director of Negro Relief, delivered a j fine address. He stressed the im j portance of looking at Gnie situation as it faces us, face each other, and i discuss filings that are facts in the spirit and with* the determination to | reach the proper solution. Others who spoke interestingly were HYiiici-t pal C. M. Epps, of Greenville; Pro-j lessor K I. Leake, of the Roberson-1 ville schools and Mr. and MTS. Rob- j erson, of Robersonville. Special emphasis \yre placed on the j splendid service that Mr. N. C. New bold had rendered to all the people during his 20 years of service as di rector of Negro education. —Reported. BETTER SEED POTATOES PAID WEST GROWERS Mountain Farmers To Com pete in Furnishing Seed For This Section A ratio of 10 to 1 was- secured by 100 growers of irish potatoes in seven, western North Carolina counties by using certified seed of a selected strain of the Green Mountain variety. "In otl\er words," says H. R.

Blair, ex tension agronomist at State College. One result of the crop rotations is seen in higher acre yields through permanent soil improvement. Another is the increased amount of grain be ing planted and harvested. More wheat was sown to be -used for flour during the past (jail than at any time | since 1919, Blair says. The same is [true of certain cotton and tobacco I counties. More acres of hay mixtures j including 'small grain, were harvested in 1932 than ever before, and legumes j 'are being used to take the place of j heavy fertilizer applications with good j results. I "A prominent farmer in Bladen County used $ 1,000 worth of fertilizer on his 150-acre farm in 1927," says Mr. Blair. "Since that time, he has followed a rotation in which a large acreage of legumes, chiefly soybeans in corn, was turned under every year, j This aided him to make a better crop ! in 1932 than be did in 1927 and he 'spent only S2OO for fertilizer. Another I farmer in Moore County turned un der 50 acres of lespedeza for his 1932 crops. He let this take the place of three cars of fertilizer that he had 'been using annually and made just as ! good crops as in previous years." i Blair has results from a number of I demonstrations conducted yast year I showing increased yields of corn, oats ; j wheat and other crops following the I I turning utuler of lespedeza and says I the-gT'HXfth of soybeans as a soil im prover has become (nuversal over the State. These two legumes are being used by most progressive farmers in the nw crop ■rotations which they arc adopting. Lincoln County Growing Much Lespedeza in 1933 Lincoln County farmers have plant-j ed all their home-grown lespedeza i seed and have imported an additional ; 5,000 pounds for seeding. wM produced .ti at coat of 1" cents a bushel." In contrast to this, other growers who tailed to IIM- the selected strain' and planted seed frolll stock kept j from year to year got a yield of nine i bushels for every one bushel planted. This crop graded out only 00 percent No, 1 stock and was produced at a cash cost of 24 cents a bushel. Nis wonger reports 20 demonstra tions conducted in Haywood county with an average xehi of 100 bushels an acre recorded. One man produc ed 240 bushels. The average yield of the county, using the same old seed stock, was 65 bushels an acre. The aim of this work, Niswonger re|»>rts is to replace" the old run-down stock with certified disease free seed which may be increased on the farm. This will result in the standardiza ton of variety; will itfbfease the yield of marketable tubers, and will lower the unit Tost of growing the crop. It is only through such a method of producing potatoes, that the grower will make a profit as ptes- : ent prices. In addition, lie says, the cost of -lite Carolina, seed, in to eastern Carolina is low enough now that tlie commercial growers may com pete with the growers of Maine in supplying eastern commercial ({row ers with their seet supplyT FAMOUS TALKING SCREEN EPIC AT TURNAGE THEATRE jpi HE l^ \2kswr^Br ■lf ' j| Kb ki H I ■ "42nd Street," Thursday and Friday, April 13, 14, at the Turnage Theatre, Washington, N.

STUDY THE FOOD SUPPLY FOR USE IN FARM HOMES Low Prices For Products Developing a Balanced Supply of Food ♦ ' Two years of low prices for farm produce has caused North Carolina farm women to study the question of an adequate and balanced food sup ply for their families as never before. In 1932, Miss Mary Thomas, food specialist for the agricultural exten sion service at State Collets, says 22,- 089. women and 12,280 club girls were enrolled in food studies through their organized clubs. There were 16,438 women and 7,349 girls who completed the series of studies as outlined. Es pecially did these women and girls emphasize a continuation of the live at home program and adopt plans hading to the production of adequate foodstuffs on their home farms. "hi spite of this," says Miss Thom as, "there are still too many farms in i>ur State which do not produce an adequate amount and variety of food for the family. This is indicated by the prevalence of such nutritional di seases as pellagra, constipation and antjfjiia due to the lack of proper food and information about the re lation of food to health. Our club women, however, are studying food selection, better preparation of the food available and more skillful meal planning." The home demonstration club wo men have four ultimate goals in view, says Miss Thomas. These' are: An adequate supply ai|d variety of foods produced on every farm. Every members of the family prac ticing good food selection habits and free from ailments indicating faulty diet. Every family having meals well planned to meet body needs, foods well-cooked and attractively served. Fvery family making a food budget and keeping simple records of food costs.

Queens laud (Australia) ranches have been training the birds to mingle with and swarm over the cattle and gobble the blood-sucking vermin every time an a-umial lies down. THE ENTERPRISE FARM PROGRAM WEAKENED BY LACK PASTURES Main Reason Why State Is Making Slow Progress With Livestock The main reason why North Caro lina does not make greater progress as a livestock producing State is that its landowners are «j.ot expert as cat tle feeders and the principal weakness in this, is the lack of pastures, says John A. Arey, dairy extension speci alist at State College. "We are poor feeders," said Mr. Arey last week in addressing the con ference of extension specialsts. "That will explain why we have not made the progress we should be making. Of course, we were hjt a hard lick last season in our dairy work because of the dry weather and the abundance of feed produced in other sections. The mid-west folks harvested an excellent crop of forage and other feed and are able to produce butterfat right now at a much lower price than we can. Yet we can grow as much hay per acre as any section of the United States and at low a cost. We can also have excellent pastures if we will but give some thought and time to the subject. Successful darying is de pendent upon pastures." Mr. Arey says a pasture revival is needed in this State. The usual con ception of a pasture in North Caro lina, he said, is a worn out piece of land, unsuited to crops, fenced with a strand or two of barbed wire. This is nothing but an exercise ground, he claims, and is often a dangerous one at that because it is usually criss crossed with deep gullies. Good land is needed for pasture and some of the tame grasses should be planted. If a pasture has trees on it, cut them down so the grasses may absorb tire sunlight and grow. Farmers are not in a condition to buy pure bred cows at this time, Mr. Arey said, but he advises the up-grad ing of the cattle on hand by the use of better sires.
