92 PER CENT OF LOCAL PROPERTY OWNERS LISTED Automobile Values Said To Have Increased by 300 Per Cent Reporting a substantial gain in the listing of automobiles and a greater number of taxpayers. Mr. H. S. Ever ett. list taker ior Kobersonville Town ship, believes there will be an jncrease in property \alues in the district this year. Just how much the increase will be Mr. Everett could not say. as only about V- per cent of the property own ers have reported their holdings. List ing activities were scheduled to have hern completed Tuesday, making it uncertain just how the unlisted prop-; ertx will be handle^ Some of it will be brought forward front the hooks of! last year, leaving a possible penalty, in some of the other cases. The increase in automobile values was estimated to be arouiid 300 per cent uvri the listed value- last year, . the re-ult ot billowing att established eoih ??: value- i ? tin vehicles. And, surprising .1- it max seem, there was more cash listed ior taxation.

It wa> pointed out that the county spent year before last just a bout $4,000 for typhoid vaccinations alone, that the proposed program would handle all immunization work and relieve the county of that all-im portant task undertaken every three years. DirectThg a sincere and appealing plea in behalf of tlie program, Dr. Jos. H. Saunders said that the high infant mortality rate in this county present ed an urgent and justifiable demand fur increased public -health facilities. And while the proposed health pro gram does not doctor the si:k, its pur pose was to prevent children and oth ers from getting sick. While he hesi tated to make the comparison, and while he heartily approved the work, the physician, with 30 years of hard work behind him, did say that the county provided for treatment of hogs against cholera and that the little chil a whole, there was little or no change in real property listings, with I the possibility that then will he an j increase in personal values, not includ ing the automobile value increase. dren of this county should receive even more consideration than swine. Mrs. V. A. Ward, who has great ly interested herself in the undertak ing, addressed the meeting briefly, ex pressing the belief that the five-piece unit would prove far more valuable than the services of a health nurse alone. She expressed the desire that arrangementn could be made to roop erate with Washington County in adopting the program. Mrs. ?. F. Moseley, representing the parent teacher associations, heartily endorsed the five-piece unit. The county board of health, with all its members present, went on record endorsing the plan for adoption by the county commissioners. Taking the matter into executive session, the two boards listened fur ther to Dr. Fox, the commissioners delaying definite action in the matter until the first Monday in June. W hen questioned as to their views on the matter, Commissioners Taylor, Coltrain, Perry, and Pope said they favored the plan and added they would appropriate tiie necessary funds pro vided an increase in the rate would not !>e necessary. In short, if the prop erty valuation increase is sufficient to tare for a rate of about 5 cents on the $100 property valuation, the service will he provided, it was understood. Commissioner Fleming was held at home by urgent duties, but it was the general belief expressed at the meet ing that he uould also favor the all important health service for the peo jple of the county.

Why is a growing calf like a growing crop? Answer: Because the food re quirements of each are so much the same.

Chilean NATURAL NITRATE N* got ihoM So II Use Good Seed For Sweet Potato Crop Jlit- sweet potato grower who wishes to plant his entire crop from I the first pulling of plants or sprouts | from the seed bed, should bed from eight to ten bushels for each acre to he set. If two or three successive pulling-- are used, five to six bushels will produce enough plants to set one | acre. "However, only the best of seed should be used," says K. B. Morrow, extension horticulturist at State Col lege. "Select medium-sized potatoes that are free from blemishes and di sease. The Porto Rico No. 1 is well adapted'to North Carolina conditions and certified seed "1 till- variety are now available. It is well to- bed the wanted for field setting. If the crop seed- severt weeks before plants are is .t??_be. grown from vuu* cuttmgs, bed, the seed -even weeks before danger from frost is Over. Tills will get early sprouts front which to grow the vines." Mr. Morrow advise- covering the seed bed with either cloth or glass. Some growers in the tidewater section bed their potatoes ill the field and tut vines directly from the row beds. It is generally advisable to treat the seed with a mercury Solution before bedding. This will kill all disease spores on the surface, but if the rots have penetrated the tissue, no treat ment is effective. The mercury solu tion is prepared by dissolving four jounces of bichloride of mercury into; 132 gallons of warm water. The water! should be about TOO degree- in j temperature. The seed sweets are I soaked in thi* solution for 15 minutes." Dirty potatoes should be washed before treatment. The seed may be bedded immediately following treat ment but not covered until they arc, dry. The mercury solution should be used the day it is prepared as it de-| teriorates rapidly. It is also a deadly poisiin it t.ikt n internally. New Deal Play Witnessed By Clumber Here Tuesday "A New Deal for the Hou-eVife," a two-act comedy staged by the West inghouse players under the sponsor ship of the Virginia Electric and Pow er Company, in the school building here last Thursday afternoon, was well received by a large audience of house wives and others.

BETWEEN 600 AND 700 PEOPLE TAKE PART IN SERVICES Culmination of Years of | Hard Work Fittingly Celebrated Kobcuonvilcl, May 1.?Coming a* a climax to one of the most remark able religious achievements in this sec tion during this century, the local Bap tist church congregation, after 16 years of waiting, planning, saving, and toil ing, dedicated their strikingly modern and up-to-date church structure heh! last Sunday in an all-day service which brought to a highly successful con clusion ahnost a week's series of serv ices which were built around the com pleted structure and the noble host of men, women and children who had unitedly seen their common dreams come true. Between 000 and 700 people gathered !in and about the commodious new re ligious structure to witness the dedi-| catory services and to take part, in one way or another, in the celebration which was significant not only to the !Baptist people of Kobersonville and jits vicinity, but to the entire com-( munity, irrespective of denominational affiliation. Not only was that true, [but the religious forces of Martin County have noted with pride the mag 'nificent achievement of their fellow Icitizens, and no doubt that many of them have been inspired to further ef jfort and achievement by the splea jdid manner in which these religious [minded people of Kobersonville have brought to reality the great undertak ing which has engaged the thought of pastor and people during these recent years. Dr. Thurman B. Kitchin, president of Wake Forest College, brought the feature address when he sp^j^ to a packed house on the subject, "The Church and Education." Koberson ville was fortunate in securing Dr. Kitchin, as he does little speaking abroad. The gifted leader of the Bap tists's greatest educational unit in the state thrilled his hearers as he warmed to his theme on Martin County soil, which county adjoins Halifax, the Kitchin family home. S. T. Everett emphasized the his tory of the church in a well-digested and prepared account; H. S. Everett delivered a warm tribute..ta??j^c..joint er pastors of the church; H. C. Nor man told the story of the present build ing, which read like a tale from ro mance; while the final report of the building committee was given by Dr. V. A. Ward. Friends and visitors were publicly recognized before Dr. KitiInn's address, and in the afternoon the brilliant Walt N. Johnson made a striking delivery on an exposition of the New Testament church. This was followed by the actual dedicatory serv ices. Plan Board of Education Meeting for Monday Week Pending the passage of the omnibus bill appointing the members of the bttartf of education, the regular meet-' ing of the educational body scheduled for next Monday has been postponed. It will probably be held the following Monday. The school bill, passed by the House yesterday and now before the Sen ate, provides for several changes in the administration of the ychools. it is understood. ?

Cotton Production Should Be Governed By Grade and Staple Little Demand at Home or] Abroad for Short Staple Varieties of Cotton The type of cotton grown in North Carolina should be governed by the requirements of local mills, advises P. H. Kime, seed specialist at State Col lege. "Every year, our mills use more than twice as murh cotton as is grown in the State," he says, "and they have shown a willingness to buy North Carolina cotton -when they can se cure the quality and staple length de sired in large, even-running lots." The staple lengths greatest in de mand range from 15-16 to 1 1-16 of an inch. Fortunately, Kime points out, the highest yielding and bes^ va rieties of cotton for North Carolina produce these staple lengths. There is little demand at home or abroad for shorter staple lengths, he adds, and growers who produce such cotton are finding the most difficulty in marketing their crop. "It is encouraging to note that North Carolina growers are turning | more and more to the long staple va rieties," he says, "but there is still a| great need for more of the longer) staples." The variety of cotton Dest suited to the soils of each grower's farm should be the kind for him to plant, Kime said. Recommendations may be ob tained from local count agents or from the State College agricultural extension service at Raleigh. 0 Tests made at the branch station near State>ville have shown that the following varieties produce staple lengths as listed below: Mexican number 58-14, 1 1-16 inch;j 'Mexican number 128, . 1 ,J:16^ inch; Coker Cleveland number 884-4, 1 1~16 inch; Coker Cleveland number 5-5, 1 1-32 to 1 1-16 inch; Carolina Foster number 5, 1 5-32 inrh; Cnlr^r FntUf dumber 6, 1 1-8 inch; Farm Relief, 1 1-16 to 1 3-32 inch; Humco Cleve land number 20-3, 31-32 to 1 inch.
