KERN -<3> Building Is Dedicated by Bishop With Excellent Sermon Creswell.—‘‘Through the ages the church has been the central institu tion of a community, and though em pires have risen and fallen, the church lives on today,” said Bishop Paul B. Kern, of Greensboro, at the dedica tion of the Methodist Episcopal church South, at Creswell Friday afternoon. His subject was ‘‘The Church, the Dwelling Place of the Eternal.'' The clergyman traced the history of Meth odism down to the present day men tioning John Wseley, the founder, and revealed that thf efforts of Wes ley was not to create a new organiza tion or denomination but that his pur pose was to seek a more spiritual life with the Master. 'Phe major points in his message were: The Church is society’s most enduring institution: the Church is the representative of Jesus Christ in the world revealing the supremacy of human perosnality and, the gospel as the saving hope of the world: the Church is God’s dwelling place, this Church meaning the hearts of men and women. Six ministers and seven leaders of the church took part in the beauti ful and simple dedication service that followed the Bishop’s discourse. Pre siding Elder J. H. McCracken, of Elizabeth City, traveling with the high churchman, introduced the speaker while Rec. E. E. Stack, of Roper, pastor of the church, presided.

Jackson lifted this intfcbt edness in time for Bishop Kern to dedicate it free of obligations on his itinerary through this section. After the dedication service, the crowd that was kept below capacity on account of the infantile paralysis threatening this section, enjoyed an outdoor lunch on improvised tables on the lawn of Mrs. H. T. Jackson who was aided in providing, prepar ing and serving the food by women of the church. -®-■ Hickman Jackson Has Fox Caught by CCC Workers Hickman Jackson has a pet fox that was given him by his brother, Charlie Jackson, jr., who is in the CCC camp at Windsor.

FairCommitte Holds Meeting Here Friday < By W. V. HAYS, County Agent This is about the season of the vear when fowl pox or sore head am! roup develop in our poultry flock'. This can he prevented by the u-e of fowl pox vaccine which is a very simple process and can be done by most anyone after being shown how Vacillation of young pullet' anywhere front ten weeks old to one month be fore -tarting to lay is recommended. Vaccination is not recommended for pullets where a flock of laying hens are kept that have not been vaccinat ed or that have not had fowl pox as this would transmit the disease on to unvaccinated birds. Any poultry raisers interested in vaccinating pul lets ran pool their order for serium with the county agent during the re mainder of this month. The cost will be about sixty cents per hundred pul lets. A few peanut growers have signed contracts and have not as yet pre sented bills of sale for these peanuts. The contracts must leave Washing ton County by the 25th of July. Any contract signer who has not present ed his hills will not receive payment for reducing his crop under these cir cumstances. Prices oil vetches ami rye are com parativlcv cheap this year as com pareil wiilh tho-c of la-t year. \'ctcii may now be bought at around ten cents a pound. And good Abruzzi rye. one dollar per bushel. Sowing vetch on most Washington County soils is to be recommended where crop rotation will permit. Rye and vetch sown together will atTord good grazing until spring when the vetch may he turned under with a great benefit to the -oil in the form of ad ditional plant food. We used to think that rye alone was of very little bene fit other than preserving the land from washing during the winter months. \\ e have since learned that growing rye through the winter takes up available plant food which can be returned to the soil next spring and in about three weeks after being turn ed under this plant food will be readi ly available. It is to be recommended that every acre where possible be sown to a winter cover crop. -« Compliance or the measuring of crops under contract lias been com pleted on cotton, tobacco and would have been completed on peanuts had the weather permitted. Panuts can be completed in about three days of work when weather permits. Work ha- begun on corn-hog compliance and should be completed by the end of this month. — -<5 The first rental payment to cotton growers have been made to old sign ers. New signers will receive their checks in a short time. Notices will be mailed to the producer immediate ly upon their being received at the county office. The group on corn hog contracts have gone to Washing ton for payment and we hope that notices will be sent to producers with in a short while that these checks have been received. Peanut payments need not be expected until after the contracts have been in Washington at least two weeks.
