The Impossible
Is Found Possible
—_$>—
Joe Miller. Negro farmer of
Route 1. Kenansivillo hadn’t
heard that it couldn’t be done, so |
he did it
R. E. Wilkins, Duplin Negro |
farm agent for the Extension
Service, savs that Miller’s 2.200
pounds of tobacco per acre was j
considered an impossibility, and 1
the average $l>9 per hundred he
received for the crop was unheard
of by Duplin farmers.
But the 27-vear-old Negro, who
started managing his olo home
place in 1948, doesn’t consider
the crop an impossibility or tin
accident.
Good cultural practices, made
possible by research, gets the
credit from Miller. By follow
ing the practices, Millet has been
able to purchase modern farming
equipment, including tractor,
plows and a truck.
The farmer also keeps a nice
herd of cattle and hogs. One of

These Cleaning Facts
Will Save You Money
Choose your cleaner as carefully as you choose your
doctor, lawyer, mechanic, butcher—or any one ot the spec
ialized tradesmen or professionals necessary to 20th century
civilized living.
A good cleaner will save you as much as $150 per year
in avoidable damage to and preventive deterioration of
your family wardrobe and other household fabrics. l>ut
you must cooperate on these important points:
1 Buy well. Buy only the things which your mer
chant can assure you will ho serviceable No clean
er can improve on the original quality.
2 Clean all stained garments as soon as possible. Age.
grime and stains are a ruinous combination to lab
. and dye .. And 100 cl- mingy, bv laboratory test
cause less wear and deterioration than one week ot
imbedded soil.
;t Some things are better wet-cleaned. Some require
both treatments, depending on conditions. This is
one ol the most vital reasons for choosing a good
cleaner All cleanings begins with diagnosis
•t Ask for the extra services which professional clean
evs can give you. They'll add months of life to ex
pensive fabrics. Sizing rolling ot sleeves, pre shrink
ing- or just plain old advice
Practice these suggestions, and use the services of a
good cleaner. One who uses fresh solvents, filtered regu
larlv. Who knows his fabrics, stains, and dyes. Who uses
the right digesers. And the correct finishing procedures.
You’ll save.
