An unreported game kept the
Robersonville Rams from getting
possession of the lop rung in the
Martin County League today. On
the basis of games reported up to
Monday Farm Life was leading
the league by half a game with
Robersonville second in line. Yes
^ terday the Rams won and last
night Farm Life lost, but it was
learned that the Rams had played
the Everetts Cubs last Saturday
afternoon and lost, 7 to 5, and so
should have been listed Tuesday
as a full game behind Farm Life.
Now Farm Life holds the edge on
the basis of percentage although :
in games won and lost there is a j
virtual tie.
Errors proved fatal for Farm
* Life against Washington last night
as the Bees took a 5 to 3 decision.
Porter hurled for Washington and
Stancil Hardison for Farm Life.
One of the most active clubs in
the league right now as they try
to catch up .with rained out games,
the Everetts Cubs have won three
of their last four outings. Satur
day afternoon they won over the
Robersonville Rams and Tuesday
* night stopped Bear Grass, 9 to 5.
but Oak City’s Roasters broke the
string last night in the Williams
ton park. 14 to 9.
Williamston won its second
game in a row yesterday as the
Martins stopped Jamesville 11 to
•> behind the four-hit pitching of
young Wallace Warren. The twe
victories pull the Martins to with'
in a half game of Oak City in the
^ race for fifth place. They are two
games back of the first division.
Robersonville got back into the
running for first place bv taking
Bear Grass 3 to 2 in a tight hall
game. It was the second loss in
two days for the Bears who have
run into trouble recently.
The Oak City Roosters won a i
singles! over Everetts last night.
14 to 9.
* If any team has any games tin- !
reported, whether won or lost, it
is important that they get the in
formation in as earlier as possible
so an accurate standing of the
teams can he figured.
Many players and managers
complain of the tack of interest
on tin part of fans while quite
often they don’t even pa.v enough
attention themselves to know the
score and report it for the infor
mation of the fans.
Number of Rabies
Cases Decreasing
A decline of over 3,200 in the
annual number of rabies cases re
ported in dogs since the end of
the war has been singled out as
a graphic example of what can
be done to curb this disease.
Officials of the American Vet
erinary Medical Association said
they regard the decline as "tan
gible evidence of the nation’s ef
forts to control this dreaded di
sease.”
Re-cords show there were 8,505
cases of rabies in dogs in 1945,
compared with 5,237 in 1949. The
1949 figure also represented a de
cline of nearly 1,400 canine cases
in comparison with 1948.
A significant reduction in num
bers of human cases has accom
panied the decline in canine cases.
Association officials said they
are getting reports regularly that
show how cities, counties, states,
and even interstate groups are
meeting the rabies problem by
intelligently planned control pro
grams. In contrast, many places
that have done nothing t-> stop
rubies are having more trouble
than ever.
Most effective measures in
ctifdc rounding up of stray dogs
which along with certain wild
animals are major spreaders of
the disease, vaccination and li
censing of all pet dogs, and trap
ping of wild animals in some
areas.
With full cooperation of pet
owners, public health leaders and
practicing veterinarians, a fur
ther reduction in the number of
cases can Ik- made this year, they
said, "and with a fully national
effort we could look forward to
the eventual end of rubies in
people and animals of this
country.”

their orders immediately.
New Small Grains
Prove Their Value
Atlas wheat, Arlington oats, and .
Colonial barley have all proved
their worth on North Carolina
farms by producing much heavier
| yields than older varieties grown
in the State, says Dr. F. J. Bell, j
seed and small grain specialist for
the State College Exension Ser
vice.
According to Bell, growers of
certified Arlington oat seed made
an average yield of 58 bushels per
acre this year, compared with an
average oat yield of only 30 bush
els per acre throughout the State
during 1949. The average on other
| oats (Victorgrain and Fulgrain)
grown by the seed producers was
51 bushels per^oere.
Atlas and Atlas 66 wheat pro
duced yields of 26 bushels per
acre—exactly double the State’s
1949 average wheat yield of 13
bushels per acre. The average
yield of other varities (Redhart
und Hardired) grown by certified
seed producers was 17 bushels per
acre.
| The average yield of Colonial
bailey was 40 bushels per acre,
, compared with a 1949 State aver
age of only 25 bushels.
Bell says the supply of Atlas j
wjieat seed will be large enough j
to plant about one-third of the
1950-51 crop in North Carolina.
The supply of Arlington oats is
very limited, but some seed are
' still available. It is not known at
this time whether the suppiy ol
Colonial barley will be large
enough fill the demnTrt!.

To A Fine Point
Scientists have measured one
tenth of a 11 ill ion th ol a second,
the Atomic Energy Commission
reported recently. This is the
lcng‘h of time a meson lives The
newly demonstrated neutral me
sou is one of the particles consti
tuting tilt- cohesive factor in the
atom nucleus. One-tenth of a tril
lionth of a second is also the
length of time which it takes light
to travel one-thousandth of an
inch (light travels 111(1.000 miles a
second). Dimensions and speeds
within the atom arc not exactly
comparable to those in parts of the
universe which arc visible Thus
the meson can be used as a clock
for the happenings within the
atom. This process of using the
I meson as a measuring device has
been developed by Dr. Herbert
York at the University of Culifor
