He seeded the red clover as a land preparation for addition al acreage of alfalfa which he will seed this fall. This red clover has also been a source of hay. “My first seeding of alfalfa cost me about $87, but the first cut ting paid for that,” says Maddrey. He is well pleased with his alfalfa and many other farmers of the county have indicated their inter est in getting, a field established on their farms. Farrpers desiring more information about alfalfa may contact the County Agent’s office, of Neuse River Soil Con servation district office.

Grown-Upsj Dogs And Kids Swarm The Chapel Hill Curb Market On Saturday Morning Anything For Busy Shoppers Is The Order Of The Day Don’t let anybody tell you women aren’t efficient when it comes to business. The way those farm women got that community mar ket organized and ready for the 9 o’clock opening last Saturday was h sight to behold. No motion ■was wasted, no time was lost, no unnecessary jabbering went on. They were cordial, helpful and friendly all the time they were sendihg their little boys back out to get more boxes, their little girls to get change, and their husbands to bring in the rest" of the food they had been preparing since the previous Saturday. » , Every one of them was fresher than any daisy you ever Saw and as smiling and relaxed as if they had not spent a hard week dress ing dozens of ' chickens, making pounds and pounds of sausage and livpr pudding and scrapple, cot tage cheese, large and small cakes of all kinds, skinning and dressing those starkly naked little rabbits, baking sweet potatoes, gathering collards and turnip greens, can ning* squash and tomatoes and arti chokes, gathering countless dozens of lovely clean brown eggs, pre paring home made* com honiiny, molding pound after pound of yel low butter, putting up honey in jars, and getting’ all the different parts of pigs ready to sell. Came H-hour and Chapel Hill ians poured quietly and purpose fully into that little building. No body would believe that many women could get together in one place with so little noise. In the crowd were Army, Navy and Ma rine officers, children, dogs, young and old colored men and women, although the greater part of it was wives of University professors, some of them looking like what the-well-dressed-community-mar ket-shopper-should-wea^, The stove in the center of the room sent out waves of warmth. the crowd milled about the count ers in an orderly way, a large (Ger man police dog wandered around with confusion in his eyes, and a fat little boy with red cheeks and exceedingly blue eyes gazed with interest at everything while be ing yanked gently from counter to counter by his busy mother. only purchase was a stack of kindlin’ wood to take home to my sister who’ never seems to have any. The rest of the time I just sat by the stove and watched, probably with my mouth hanging open sufficiently for a bit of drool ing. ' .. An old man with a wad of to bacco tucked in his cheek kept the fire under control and acted %s a human thermostat by spitting into the stove in a systematic way. He didn’t buy anything—just acted as unofficial fireman, as ’twere. The most impressive thing about the whole market was three pounds of black walnut meats, neatly wrapped up in half-pound packages. The patience that took! —bds. Pacific Mills Of Boston To Employ Many . Carrboro and Orange county will get another boost in the industrial world upon the es tablishment of a worsted and ivoolen weaving plant in the building recently purchased From the Durham Hosiery Mill by the Pacific Mills of Boston, Mass. The building in Carrboro, now being* used for storage, was purchased recent ly, according to Bruce Ether idge, director of the Depart ment of Conservation and De velopment. $60,000 was the purchase price. According to J. 'E. Sirrine and Company, Greenville, S. C., repre sentatives for the Pacific Mills, a 54-loom worsted weaving unit will be established in the recently purchased building. The unit will employ between 70 and 80 work-__ ers on each of three shifts. The establishment of the unit is pend ing approval from the necessary Federal agencies. First production at the new plant, and as long as will be need ed, is scheduled to be for the armed forces. It will be the second plant established in Carrboro to produce directly for the war effort. The other building across the highway, formerly, a textile mill, has been transformed since the outbreak of the war into a muni tions plant. Both buildings have been idle for years. The main building of new plant has two stories ana contains more *than 53,000 square feet of manufactur ing space. It is located on the Southern Railway and contains about five acres. Perhaps one of the greatest as sets to Orange county, the plant, together with the munitions plant, may not only make Carrboro a greet producer of war supplies, but will bring more revenue into Orange county, since a large num bejr^ijAhe employees will prob ably bp Orange countians,^.; . .. Etheridge said his department is pleased with the decision to put the mill in North Carolina because it will help diversify the industrial structure of the state arid also be cause the Pacific Mills is one of the largest and oldest in the woolen and worsted field. At Long Last Chafel no Headed For Its Now Bos Station Only wartime difficulties of se curing materials for construction are to be hurdled before Chapel Hill will get its long over-due bus . station. The site, located on the corner of West Franklin and Kenan streets, has been (purchased, and the Carolina Goach company an nounces it will begin construction just as soojn as priorities on ma terials can'be secured. Chapel Hill hopes that won’t be long. The building will be of Colonial design in accordance with the wishes of the Chapel Hill town planning commission, according to word sent to Collier Cobb, Jr., by the coach company president. The plot which was purchased in part from Harry Stern and in part from the Uzzell estate, with the Service, Insurance and Realty company acting as agent for the coach company, will furnish am ple space for busses that ar’e load ing, unloading, and waiting to be loaded. The obvious inadequacy of pres ent facilities in Chapel Hill, with its heavy in and out traffic by stu dents and navy personnel, is relied upon to give the company the pri orities it seeks for the new build ing.
