Employ Guineas To
Serve As Watchdogs
Always alert and watchful, guinea
fowls have a special value as dan
gei alarms and safety leaders for
other poultry, particularly the rat
tle-headed turkeys County agents,
in many cases, suggest that turkey
growers will.do well to include a
ftw^eggs of guinea fowls with each
lot of turkey eggs. They have the
same period of incubation.
The guinea chick, reports main
tain, is brighter, more alert. It
teaches the turkey poults how to
find the feed hopper and the warm
spots under the brooder. As the
two grow older and range together,
the young guinea sounds the first
alarm when strange animals or
predatory hawks appear. To see a
few guineas in a large flock of
turkeys reminds one of a motor
cycle policeman in and out in
crowded traffic.

A SIPPEK SUGGESTION
When you are tired of your usual
supper menus, try the suggestion
below It is sure to please the men
of the family so prepare g second
serving.
Hot Potato Salad With Frankfurters
Wash and cook in boiling salted
water 6 to 8 medium-sized potatoes.
Cool, remove skins and slice thinly.
If you like, cut out in balls with
the melon ball scoop cutter, saving
the remainder of the potato for po
tato croquettes or cakes However,
if you do this you will need about
12 potatoes instead of 8. Cover bot
tom of a baking dish with potatoes.
Saute four slices chopped bacon
and 2 small chopped onions. Add
to the hot fat 3 tablespoons of cidar
vinegar Pour this over the pota
toes. Mix well, cover and heat
about IS minutes in a slow oven.
Line a bowl with lettuce leaves, ar
range salad and sprinkle with
chopped parsley or paprika.
Broiled Frankfurters
Slit frankfurters lengthwise, the
fat juicy kind, spread lightly with
prepared mustard and generously
with cheese Wrap a slice of bacon
around each and skewer with tooth
picks. Broil under a moderate flame
until the bacon and franks are done
to your taste, about 10 minutes.
Serve hot with the salad.
Beware of Cotton
Seed Sold As New
Variety This Year
Purchase Of Cotton Seed
From Peddlers Is Not
Considered Advisable
Cheap cotton seed, given a fancy
name and a high price, is being
peddled in North Carolina again
this year.
Buying such seed is not only a
waste of money, said P. H. Kime,
plant breeding agronomist at State
College, but it also leads to a seri
ous deteriation of the cotton crop.
Last year, he said, farmers were
offered Mars Rose seed, claimed to
bt a marvelous new variety, in
packages of $1 each. At this rate,
the seed was selling for $50. a
bushel.
Yet actual tests have shown this
seed to be decidedly inferior to the
standard varieties recommended
for this State.
This year, Mars Rose ar^ Dixie
1st
Rose, both apparently just alike,
are being peddled again for "out
rageously high prices,?' Kime went
on to explain.
Neither of these seed will pro
duce as high a $ield as the stand
ard varieties, Kime state; their
staple is only 15-16 inch in length
and irregular, the lint percentage is
low and the bolls are small.
At the Piedmont branch station
near Statesville, experiments with
ten varieties showed that Mars
Ruse was the lowest in lint yield.
A test in Alabama placed Mars
Rose near the bottom in a test of
30 varieties, and in Arkansas a test
of 40 varieties found Mars Ruse
next to the lowest.
Similar tests in other States have
given like results, Kime pointed
out. And although the tests were
made with Mars Rose, he said the
may be laid of Dixie Rose, a*
the two appear to be very much
"Don't buy cotton seed," he urg
ed, "unless it is from a reliable
source and of a vyiety recommend

THE LETTER-BOX
ADVERTISING WILLIAMSTON
Sunday, February 9. within less
than 30 minutes time, I saw Ave
large out of-state cars pass through
the main street of Williamston, en
route to the sunny skies ot Florida.
Why didn't all these cars stop
here in Williamston and remain
here until the warm weather ot
i spring comes One reason is be
I cause Florida has advertised, and
Williamston has not. Every person
in Williamston knows there is a
Palm Beach, a Mialhi, a St. Peters
burg in Florida, but how many per
sons in these Florida towns has ever
heard ot Williamston, North Caro
lina/ Not one perhaps, and if the
| Florida towns had not advertised
the people here would not know
there were such places..
| The chief, impelling attraction
that draws people from all over
the United States and Canada to
Florida is the salubrious climate
down there, but the people of the
United States and Canada would
not know about this fine health
giving climate if the people in Flor
ida had not told them about it in
the newspapers and magazines
throughout the country year after
year. ?
Why are more tourists passing
through Williamston than former
ly.' One reason, and I suspect the
big reason, is because Williamston
spent $5 or $10 in advertising, thus
putting us on the map in a small
way. Less than $10 spent in ad
vertising has shown your town to
more than 500 tourists.
Goodness! Suppose that kind
t<?d ,nd generous man had spent
$100 in advertising Williamston
probably 5.000 would have passed
through, and suppose 100- of these
tourists had stopped here perma
| nently.
If 100 had stopped for good, that
would have been the biggest thing
that ever happened to Williamston.
because these persons one sees go
wig through in quest of the warm
sunny skies of the Southland, are
substantial citizens, some are re
tired business men, some profession
al and others literary, seeking a
warm spot where they may enjoy
themselves, and no few of them are
seeking a place of permanent abode.
As we stand on the streets and see
this great caravan pass on, remem
ber that we have right here what
they are all looking for, but they
do not know it, if they did thev
would stop for keeps.
Yes, Williamston has what these
wanderers are looking for, has it in
a distinctive and a remarkable way
Next week, I will tell you what it
is, then it will be up to you pro
gressive. wide-awake business men
of the town to put it before the hun
?--- -- tiic nun
.h ,of,Persons who are passing
tniough here yearly now.
We must stop them, interest them,
bind and hold them until they be
come one of us. And such a town
as we shall have!
