PLETION AND THINGS MOVING NICELY For nearly two weeks a reviv- al has been in progress at Mars Hill church. The pastor, Rev. J. R. Owens, is doing the preaching and he is having the support of the other ministers anq, laymen of the' community. TJlff revival began a week ago ladft Sunday. Two services ev ery day are being held one at 11 o clock and another at 7 .60. Much interest has been man ifested and there have been - quite a number of conversions. Another building is being put 4n, order for use as follows : :?Tne second floor will be used 4or two class rooms and the first floor will be four offices. One office will be for the dean and vice-president. Another will be' used for the dean of women awd registrar. Another will be used for the B. S. U. (Bap . tist Students Union) and the fourth will be used for publi cations.

Local high school students are provided for in the State High School established here last year which now has five teachers and an attendance of 150, the largest State High School in the County. The re markable growth of both schools con stitutes a unique situation in educa tional development in this section. Considerable improvement has been made in the physical plant of the col lege a biological laboratory with 27 Bausch and Lomb microscopes; addi tional class rooms and offices for Select new books for the English, his tory, Education, and Science depart ments; and a teacher's home for Prof. Elliott who returns to the head of the English Department after a year's leave of nhannrn. There are more ministerial students than we have ever had at the opening of the session and there seems to be among them a finer sense of responsi bility as Ambassadors of the King and hence unusual promise as- Kingdom builders. The general religious' and moral tone of the school is source of gratitude. Students have been .con verted in little prayer circles in dormi tory room or out on the mountain side. .And a new section of B. Y. P. U. and another Organized S. S. class have been organized to care for the training-dtourx students. And yet the unattained ideals call to a deep sense of the need of prayer and deep er consecration to the tasks He has committed to those who direct the af. fairs of the institution. R. L.

SQIOOL ACTIVITIES As was" stated in these col umns some weeks ago, I wish to emphasize the value of school activities. Every school should seek to become the so cial center for its patrons. But before thisi can be done, it is necessary joi; tne teacner io outline a program that will be of intere, to the people, some thing that will be not only of recreational value, but . of in spirational and educational val ue besides. -' Among such fea tures might be mentioned com munity ...clubs, parent-teacher organizations, debating clubs, and various .' other gettogether meeting's; ; Mr. Burnette, principal of the Revere School, states that he has a very live parent-teacher ! organization. By this he has enlisted the hearty cooperation of the people of his district in their school. "r Mr. Lewis, principal of the school at Center, is having a debating, and spelling club at school each. Friday night. He states . thaf-''It is certainly en couraging, to! me, and seems to be to the. pupils, to have the parents come out and snow an interest m oiir work." , .

RYE SUREST CROP FOR WINTER COVER community; 1 ' i.V?4?",foA, .to preyioW articles, we have disctissedrthe advisability of building' up iin the county a county wide system of schools. We have discussed the element ary" school and the high school, and mentioned that before such a system' can be perfected, it would be necessary to devise a system of county wide support for "all the schools of the coun ty Of all winter cover crops, rye is the surest and the nearest fool proof. It will make more growth on poor sails, whether clay or sandy, than any "other. ' It is resistant to winter-kill ing,, and, may be sown successfully from Aug. to December; but Oct. 1 is probably the best date for sowing for most localities," says E. C. Blair, agronomist for the State College of Agriculture. "A bushel of seed Should , be used per acre. The seed may be scattered over a corn or cot. ton field and covered with a one-horse Cultivator. This may be done at lay-ing-by time or just after the first pick ing of cotton. Rye may be sown this way in a corn fieldor the corn may be removed, the land disced and the rye drilled in." The rye should be turned under as soon as the heads begin to show, as at that time it will rot quickly in the soil. If .Allowed to become too ripe the stains may interfere with cultivation and soil moisture conditions all sum mer; 't , f?The best variety of rye to grow is : Abruzzi," says Mr. Blair.
