Pafurdsv at the Haywood County Court House here, with Council Prsiden; Wade Francis of the .Waynesvllle High School Senior Club presiding. Assistant county agent Joe Cline, in charge of 4-H work, said all of-k-(rs of local 4-H clubs are urged to attend. - - Fakes Rhubarbs For Bored Fans AP Newsfeature AUSTIN, Tex Hank Dana, the big Hawaiian who now manages Austin of the Big State League, seldom permits a ball game to be come draggy. Oana, who came into the Texas League years ago as an outfielder, was shifted to the pitching mound with the result that he went to the big leagues. Hank gained fame on the West Coast when someone put out a story that he was a Hawaiian prinof. He wasn't, but it was too good ";to deny, Se he said nothing and became quite a drawing card in the Pacific Coast League. Oajia , was with Detroit during the War, came back to the Texas League and led the circuit in pitching with Dallas one season. Then he became manager at Aust in and has been quite successful. Here's a sample of how big Hank keeps the fans interested. . Austin was playing Texarkana and was behind, 10-2. It was one of those nights when Austin could n't do anything right. The fans got bored. Some showed 4heir dis pleasure by walking out of the park. ;. ; , ' Hank iiad an inspiration. When the base umpire called a close one againsj the Plonkers (not too close but enough for Oana's purpose), he rushed out to the arbiter and shook his fjlnger in his face. Oana thrust his face up close, frowned and waved his arms. The umpire shook his own finger un der Hank's nose. .- The fans quit walking out ' and started cheering the Austin manager,' meanwhile booing the -umpire. But what Oana said to the um pire while waving his arms wildly was this. "I'm gonna buy you a dinnrr after the game." What the umpire replied was: "I'm gonna take you up on that." A few minutes later Hank charg ed out to "protest" vigorously once more, the fans cheering' him oft. But here's what he said: "You gonna eat with me?" The "infuriated" .-'umpire jerked off his cap, bared his teeth. Hank waved some more. The umpire raised himself on his toes, pointed in the direction o f the Austin dressing room. "Go change, your clothes," he said. 'I'Il change and meet you in a few minutes. Let's eat at Joe's PlaceT -''..-; . .,. -.- ..

Cenie FerCuson. a Fines Creek HiKh School senior. who combines intellect with beau ty, retained her crown as queen of Haywood County's young speakers on the subject of soil conservation. Miss Ferguson's address and her technique, said the judges, showed all the signs of careful preparation and research and deep conviction In the words she was speaking.

From the busiest corner in a modern city to the windblown country fields, human livlihood is a product of the land. As a nation we are becoming soil-conscious. The country is rec bghiaing that soil, and its fertility, is our most valuable possession.

Food and clothing and much of our shelter needs are di rectly traceable to soil resources. We can changefrom woolen to cot ton clothing but both are direct products of the soil. Most every thing from a dose of aspirin tablets to a railroad train Is derived from the soil. When the early pioneers took up land in this country, they found it generously endowed Mother Nature. It: Was protected against erosion by plenty 0f vegetation. It was rich' In' hunus and much 'of was highly; productive. It bloomed with bounteous crops even with the crude tillage methods then used. It takes Nature a long period of time to build up soil, while man can tear it down in a few short years. Do you realize it takes Na ture over a thousand years t o build one inch of top-soil. It is easy to see, however, that in many localities it has taken less than 100 years to tear down much of the Popular Types DENIM DUNGAREES Sizes 4 to 16 $2.59each 8 Oz.

Makes 12 muffins. fertility that Mother Nature has so painstakingly built up through the centuries. Even in our own state, we do not need to look far to locate land which while once highly pro ductive now hardly produces en ough to pay the seed and labor costs. Gullied fields remain as skelitons of once prosperous lands, Ruins and galds grow nothing where giant paks once stood. Soil having been stripped completely of its mineral contents now grows noth ing except broom sage and the like. What is wrong with this soil? Why is it not as fertile and productke as it was when the pioneers clear ed away the trees to plant their small crops. Year after year people have planted crops and harvcs!cJ tfiem. ' - They have taken everything a-' way from the soil and returned nothing. . . ,- ronton . take many ther curses ot humanity grows by what it feeds upon. It branches like compound in terest. As a gulley cuts back, other gullies are formed, and the dam age speards, like a ring-wofm, in a circle . . The injury Increases not by ad ditionbut by multiplication.... If North Carolint sets high stan dards of living, she must also set high standards of conservation. The Community Development Program, which is well known in Haywood County, is striving to have better farm lands, well-maintained farm homes, and well-supported rural churches and schools. If you should drive along the roads of Haywood County, you would see the beautiful, well furnished farm homes which dot her valleys and hill-sides. The farm families who live on these farms are able to have many mod ern conveniences. - Great wealth is an award for the many labor hours spent in build ing up the fertility of the soil, Unfortunately only part of the farms in Haywood are rich and prosperous, Haywood County, like many other counties throughout the nation, has too many poor farms and by poor farms I mean those with wasted soil. Poor farms cannot support com fortable homes or the good schools that give the opportunity for re creation and enjoyment of the ad vantages of modern life. More than a century ago John Taylor called the attention of farm i ers to tha dangers of erosion in this country and correctly analyzed its ; social economics and physical causes. He also pointed out the danger of exploiting the . land for cash crops. What did the farmers do? They went on doing the same things they had been - doing, - and very few of them did anything. So this is the question we now face: How can we lick erosion? There is a cure for almost every ill, and there are ways of eliminat iiv' erosion. '. The key to preventing it and holding the top-soil can be express in one word cover, j Cover is a combination of gras-' ses, legumes, shrubs and trees which blanket the earth and bind the top-soil. Tf win mil1 1tn.,n 41.1 h I lone, erosion would be no problem. But obviously it can't. The natural cover must be plow ed under and edible crops plant ed in its place. But we can break up the cover and use the soil in such a way that erosion is still held at bay. Here are some ways of reducing soil erosion: - Plant trees on steep hills, use only the more level soils for the production ot cultivated crops, terrace crop land, practice strip- cropping, plant with the countour of the land instead of straight rows: Produce more close-grown crops, such as grains, provide meadow strips for holding water, prevent ovpr-grazing of all pastures. Devote rolling lands to perman ent pastures. North Carolina needs pastures to protect its soil. Soil; erosion removes 66 tons of soil per j year from bare land on a ten per ce slope. Soil erosion removes only three fnths of a ton of soil per year from a lush pasture such as Lad-j ino clover and orchard grass. By i having sufficient acreage and by practicing good management ade-. quate grazing can b had from 8 to 12 months from ladino clover pastures. How then can productive soil help the farm family? If the soil is produetive. the farm income is greater and the greater the farm Income the more conveniences they "ill have. First of all they will have a better home in whicb to live. They will have storage places, modern f a r n i -ture, sanitary , living conditions, better yards and gardens, good gardens mean good fool. It means better education for their child ren. AaA many other advantages whicb poor soil cannot offer. Thus we see soil conservation is of great eoncern to all! If we did not do something about conserva tion we would be in the same con dition China is today. Soil conser vation is yttal to the Nations wel fare. The land is our source of livli hood. We must fight to preserve H as we fight to preserve our free dom. ' First American troops to land in Cuba during the Spanish-American War were V, S.
