CATTLE NEED BEST ATTENTION JUST NOW * If They Are To Be Presenta ble At Fairs And Take Ribbons. * Even good animals must be prop erly trained and fitted for high plac ing in the show ring and owners should begin now to get the animals in good condition and train them to lead well and stand squarely on their feet. "When shown the animal should f carry just enough flesh to have a good, thrifWfcpdick appearance with out any surplus fat," says J. A. Arey, extension dairy specialist at State College, "and this is not difficult if the animal receive good feed and care during the conditioning period." Mr. Arey recommends a grain mix ture of 30 pounds of com meal, 30 pounds of crushed oats, 25 pounds of wheat bran, and 15 pounds of linseed or soybean meal as the grain ration. Where the ar.imal is thin in fleSh at the beginning of the -feeding period a small amount of ready mixed mo lasses feed should be given in addi tion to the grain ration, he states. When animals are to be shipped ^Irom p]ace to p]ace it ig best to feed yniixed hay as legume hay alone often upsets the_ digestive system of a show animal. Where the animal is shown only at a local fair, however, the reg ular farm ration can be continued. Mr. Arey states that the animal should be clipped all over at least six weeks before the show if the hair is long as this will give time for the hair to grow and present a smooth, slick appearance. Where the hair is short, however, it is advisable to clip only the head, ears and neck, back to the shoulder vein, the tail setting and underneath the belly he says. Brush and rub the animal thoroughly every day. This stimulat es the circulation and improves both the hide and hair. Wash the animal once a week. In washing the animal use plenty of soap and water and do not spare elbow grease, advises Mr. Arey. STATE SHORT IN GRAIN AND HAY The protracted drouth this sum mer has materially lowered the pro duction of all grain and hay crops even though the acreage for most crops was larger than that planted lpst year. "To feed its three million popula tion and all livestock, North Carolina needs to produce fifty millon bushels of corn," says C. A. Sheffield, as sistant director of extension at State College. "Forecasts by the U. S. Crop Reporting Board gives the pro duction this year at 35,520,000 bush els of approximately 15 millions bush els under the apparent needs." The production of wheat is also one million bushels short of last year and other grain ciops, such as oats and barley, show a considerable de crease over 1931 yields. Mr. Sheffield states that while there were 26,000 more acres planted to hay crops in 1932 than in 1931 the indicated production is 175,000 tons less than that of last year. With this existing shortage, farmers in North Carolina must either buy feed and hay, sell the livestock, or grow some winter grain and hay. - Mr. Sheffied also states that feed ing imported grain &nd hay is poor! economy due to the high freight rates ' which often equals the purchase price. He therefore advises farmers , to grow winter grain and hay crops for winter and spring feeding. Both barley and oats are splendid grain crops and can be grown suc cessfully on most North Carolina farms. Barley is equal in corn in feed value and the yield is, on the average slightly better than corn. "Heavy plantings of these two crops together with a good acreage sown to oats and barley and vetch or Austrian winter peas and clovers for pasture would keep several mil lion dollars in the State that would otherwise go out for' the purchase! of corn and hay," says Mr. Sheffield.

Scrub ani [FIRE prevention i WEEK IN OCTOBER Beginning with the 1932 Fire Pre vention week, let us determine to cut the American fire waste, which runs about $500,000,000 a year, in half. That is the suggestion in an article ; in Safeguarding Amcrica Against Fire. The American people could take ; upon themselves no finer project. In I that seems a small matter in the light these days of distress, a half-biflion dollar waste is unthinkable, and even of the fact that fire destroys 10,000 lives annually. This year fire prevention week will be observed from October 8 to 15. It will open with proclamations from the President of the United States and from governors of states, mayors of cities and other officials. Chambers of Commerce, fire departments, trade associations and state fire prevention groups will give every effort to in structing the public in fire - hazards and their elimination. Each of us will have the chance to learn, pleas antly and painlessly! If we fail, we have shirked a duty to the commu nity. Every fire reaches into every pock etbook ? threatens every piece of property in the community ? endang ers every life. It is a tragic, an un necessary waste. It is only made pos sible by thoughtlessness, laziness, and ignorance. It can be stamped out by thought and care. Do your part!

' Saccessor to ATLANTIC BANK & TRUST COMPANY, Trustee. J. S. DUNCAN, Attorney. Pub. Sept. 1, 8, 16, 22. roals are a thing of the past in the county, he states. "A GREEA BLEN ESS" I feel deeply moved to share with my readers some thoughts than came to me in my reading from a writer whom I greatly admire. There is so much COMMON SENSE in what he says, especially his words on AGREE ABLENESS. "If you are looking for a job, it may interest you to learn what is the one quality which employers the world over want most. "It is AGREEABLENESS. "Agreeableness is the diamond among virtues, for it is the most precious and rarest of all. "It is worth money; for it sells more real estate, groceries, dry goods and automobiles, typewriters, furni ture, and life insurance than any amount of smooth talk, and convinc ing arguments. "Just be pleasant, and you can walk away with a contract right under the nose of the man who knows it all. "SMILE, not once in a while, so that you look like it hurt you when you force a grin, but get the habit. Smile to yourself when you're shav ing. Then it will come natural when you use it trying to sell a washing machine. "BE AGREEABLE! And you will be in demand. For in every walk of life they are crying for the agree able person. "Every wife wants that kind of a husband; husbands that kind of a wife; children want agreeable par ents ; the workman an agreeable boss, the boss an agreeable workman, and everybedy wants agreeable relatives. "We want agreeable hired girls, hotel clerks, motonnen, policemen, janitors, ice men, ushers, preechers, governors, and bankers. "Come, be agreeable, for you Will have little competition, and arc pret ty sure to succeed. "An agreeable person lights up the room like a lamp. "He is like love when you're lone some, bod when you're tired, a breeze when you're stifling, food when you're empty, and money when you're broke. ] "Be agreeable. Study to make people like you. Make love to the world. "Life's a mix-up any way, that none of us understand. There are all sorts of inexplicable thorns and trag edies, buffets and chagrins, and most people are p. bit sorry for themselves. Hence ugly." "BUT YOU ? YOU BE AGREE ABLE. TRY IT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS." A PRAYER Blessed Jesus, help us to make Re ligion a thing so beautiful that all men may be won to surrender to its power. Let us manifest in our lives its sweetness and excellency, its free and ennobling spirit. Forbid that we j should go up and down the world with mclancholy looks and dejcctcd visage, lest we should repeal men and women from entering Thy Kingdom, Rather, may we walk in the freedom and joy of faith, and with Thy new j song in our mouths, so that men look ! ing on us may learn to trust and love ; Thee. We can give Thee nothing of our own. All that we have is thine. Oh, then help us to glorify Thee by striv ! ing to be like Thee. Make us just and [pure and good as Thou art. May we [be partakers of the Divine Nature so that all that is truly human in I us may be deepened, purified and ! strengthened. And so may we be wit nesses for Thee, lights of the world reflecting Thy light. / ? we go among our fellows, may we ever manifest a patient temper, a kind and happy spirit, a love that BEARETH ALL THINGS, ENDUR ETH ALL THINGS, BELIEVETH ALL THINGS. We entreat Thee, 0 Lord, to re member Thee in our daily work. Let ; us do it heartily as unto Thee, and j not unto men. Grant that our tasks may be congenial to us, that we may I give ourselves wholly to them. Con secrate all our powers of mind and body to Thy service. j Give us enthusiasm, a fervent i spirit, a cheerful, hopeful temper, | so that we may do our work with ease and self control, not with idle worry, or fruitless fear. Let us not think too much of our rights, but always our duties, and when we have done all, then let us say, "We are unprofitable servants." And when Thou drawest the curtain of night upon our labour, give us the sweet gift of sleep. All this we ask for Jesus sake. Amen. ? C. D. C. FASHION ARTICLE (By Special Arrangement Between this Paper and Harper's Bazaar) Paris Imports Cargoes of French models are land ing on these shores every day now. They are being unpacked and hur ried to the shops and so the reports which we have all been studying earnestly for weeks come true. A de lightful, young evening dress by Louiseboulanger is made of a black crepe with a jacquard- figure. Tht sash, red and blue, winds spirally around the fitted body of the dress. On the shoulders are piquant ruffles of the black material, under the one | a second eqaulet ruffle of the red, | under the other, blue. Little novel' sleeves appear on many evening | dresses, as the American designers j foresaw in their collections that they would. Loucile Paray has made a dark j blue corduroy evening dress (and j there are heaps of corduroy evening J things) with tiny shoulder sleeves ( made entirely of white organdie pet als. In a white corduroy evening frock,, Maggy Rouff has set fringe sleeves, the fringe caught into fes toons. The clothes have many whim sical touches like this, ribbon loops, unexpected flower trimmings, and so forth. Mainbocher creates a pristine white gown of a novel thin crepe Elizabeth with a fine rib, which has a line of large white cabbage roses in a garland, diagonal across the bodice from shoulder to hip. The blistered satins are among the many interesting new materials. For j people who adore satin and would not ( feel that the winter wardrobe was. complete without a dress of it, this ? is a find. It has the charm of the plainer satins and the novelty of this season. Patou has made one of his long-waisted, mediaeval gowns of it in his tearose shade. This is accented by a wide belt, set low, in a coppery metal and there a necklace to match it. It is interesting to note that this much-discussed line is entirely flexi- j ble. It. would be perfectly simple to slide the belt, up to exactly the point j where it feit and looked best on you. i The bodice is cut so slimly and nently that the dress does not blouse, above the belt, indeed could not, for the girdle is worn very loose. Bore Back s Dresses that are demure from the front are often startling decollete in the back. P&quin, for example, makes a gracious, conventional gown of black butterfly lace. Conventional, that is, until the wearer turns. Then you see that the back is devastingl.V low asd that the fullness of the skirt and slip swings up and the gown is transparent almost to the knees in the back. Knees. Fancy that! After the conservatism which has marked our evening1 skirts the last few years. The opposite side of the medal. is the prevalence of trains. Many of the new dresses have them. It remains to be seen how many of the copies will reproduce them. They are fragile tricky to walk in and exceedingly un graceful if they are no* deftly han dled. Bagheera and ether unusual velvets are ubiquitous. Many daytime dieesps, whether they are of velvet or not, show frequent velvet sleeves. Lycks' velvet makes charming, stiff puf-f-y sleeves. FARM QUESTIONS Question: My cowpeas and soy beans show very little growth and in many spots have died. What is the cause of this and what can I do to correct, this trouble? Answer: The cause of the plants failing to show good growth and dy ing in isolated spots is the dry weath er and the resultant hard soil. The extreme dry weather this year has caused many crops to fail and some of them to die where the soil was hard. Due to this condition the roots could not grow deep enough to main tain contact with the lower water table and the crops made poor growth. Question: Will the use of electric lights with my chickens during the fall and winter months give great er egg production? Answer: Much investigational work has been conducted along these lines during recent years and uniformly good results have been obtained. The use of lights will increase the work- | ing hours for the flock which will bring a greater consumption of feed and a corresponding increase in egg production. While eggs produced in this way are often used for hatching, this practice is not recommended as the chicks will, as a rule, be weak and subject to all poultry ills. Question: At what rate and at what time should nitrate fertilizer be applied to Chrysanthemums? Answer: If the soil is made fertile at the time the plants are set it is not necessary to apply any additional plant food until the flower buds are formed. When the buds are formed nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammo nia may be applied as a top dress ing between the rows at the rate of one ounce to each square yard of soil. This should be thoroughly worked in to the soil. A light mulch, one ov two inches thick, of fresh cow manure may also be used. If this is used the plants should be watered as soon as the mulch is applied in order to soak into the coil the available plaT.t food. With the commercial fertilizers, light applications of about one ounce to the square yard should be made every : two or three weeks until the flower j buds begin to show color. DO YOUlONCFOR ! THE GOOD OLD DAYS I i ' We often hear people speak of the j good old days and it is not uncom ? mon to hear some one express a wish Ifor their return. The good old days. ) What were they? They were the days before the electric lights came, when the only illumination was a flicker ing, smoky, dripping candle. They were the days of log houses with fire places that never wanned the room as do the furnaces of today. They were the days before the telephone, the automobile, the talking machine std the wireless. They were the days when it took hours to get ? doctor over undragged roads. They were the
