VILLAGE ORANGE
By Betsy Brunlc
In order to realize fuller news
coverage in Chapel Hill, Hillsboro
and the whole of Orange county,
with this issue of THE NEWS we
will begin to do a little special
izing. By this column, I will cover
the Village as completely as I know
how, while Harry Large by means
of “By the Editor*” win take care
of the rest of the county. This is
not necessarily a process of sep
arating the sheep from the goats,
or the goats from the sheep as the
case may be, but merely an attempt
to put your miscellaneous news
where it will be easiest for you to
find it. We hope you will like this
idea and, as usual, hope you will
let us know if you don’t.

FIRST ROSE? During my wan
derings over the Hill this week,
I encountered my first rose of the
season and in the most unusual
spot—in front of the Strowd Mo
tor Company building. In among
the large, healthy bushes growing
before this establishment on.
Franklin street was nestled one of
the loveliest roses I’ve ever seen
in bloom. It was of th cream
colored variety with just a hiht of
blush. Truly, I never expected to
find any sort of flower growing
around such a business-like spot,
but then “A Tree Grew in Brook
lyn” here,' didn’t it? That’s Chapel
Hill for you!
DIGGING OUT . . . Odis Pen
dergraft, who is rarely found idle
around his University Service Sta
tion, was busy on a new project
this week—digging up and taking
out the three bushes in the little
plot of ground directly in front of
his service station. Seems as how
after a night of one of E. Car
rington Smith’s shows at the Caro
line Theatre, the little plot looked
like a city dump heap. Mr. Pen
dergraft worked hard to keep this
spot clean, but those bushes
weren’t much help, Itfow for a
change he’s going to let some grass
grow under his feet and see if
that doesn’t help. I suppose the
best thing of ail would be for
us Chapel Hillians, and friends,
to keep our trash to ourselves, or
else to put' it where it’s meant to
be—in the disposal units provided
for us by the town. We complained
to the Board of Aldermen some
time ago about not having enough
of these units. Could it be we’re
not completely using those we
have?

will happen. Ask Judge F. O. Bow
man; he knows. A driver from
Durham (glad we don't have to
claim this one too) ran into the
back of Judge Bowman’s car Mon
day afternoon while he was wait
ing for the stoplight to change at
the intersection in front of Presi
dent Graham’s home. Luckily the
other car took most of the lick
ing, and the Judge said the driver
was quite agreeable about the
whole thing.
According to a recent radio sur
vey, automobile accidents are oc
curring in the United States at the
rate of one a minute. That’s some
recor^, and Chapel Hill has cer
tainly had her share of them lately.
'However, accidents like the one
mentioned above may not cost life
or limb but they don’t add to the
life of a car, and Poe-Mangum
still has only the one DeSoto club
coupe on display for sale.
POE-MANGUM AGAIN . . . While
we’re on the subject of this worthy
service station, you might be in
terested to know that Mr. Man
gum’s new &bwroom has been
completed and is now in use. The
six workshops on his building
agenda are not yet finished, but
should be in another month oi so.
CLEAN WINDOWS . . . Been
wondering for sometime how pell’s
Jewel Box managed ttr keep sue*
clean display windows. Well, the
other day I learned the secret
Those windows are washed just
about every morning in the week.*
Appears as how the Merchants As
sociation ought to make the pro
prietors “life members” or some
thing for such inspiring and wor
thy effort.
CAROLINA CLEANERS . .
With their announcement in THE
NEWS this week, the Carolina
Cleaners in the new building block
officially open their new laundry'
department, and will henceforth
be known as “Carolina Laundry
& Dry Cleaners.” This business is
the product of Bob Smith and Nick
Watts, who assure us that they
are now ready to handle as much
trade as comes their way. The
laundry, as well as dry cleaning,
department is complete, accepts
family bundles and offers one week

ATO PROJECT .-. . The ATOs
have gotten busy and landscaped
the grounds around their house to
a fine degree. That new grass
should look extremely good in a
few weeks. Now the only prob
lem is what are they going to do
about the drainage problem at the
beginning of their walkway.
There’s always something!

8RORTAGE OF FEED
MAKE8 TEMPORARY
PASTURES ADVI8ABLE
Records over the state show that
15 per cent of grain and 30 per
cent of protein feed can* be saved
in feeding hogs by letting them
graze on soy beans. It is recom
mended that soy beans be planted
during April in rows 24-30 inches
apart and these soy beans be cul
tivated twice to keep down grass
and weeds. Start grazing when
they are 12 to 15 inches high. The
lack of hog fences need not keep
Orange county farmers from graz
ing soy beans. A two-strand elec
tric fence has proven satisfactory.
Soy beans also make a good graz
ing for growing pullets during late
spring and summer. Plant and cul
tivate the soy beans as for hogs.
They make one of the safest green
feeds for poultry and are at their
best when other green feds get
tough during dry hot weather.
STATEWIDE CORN
.TEST. RESULT8
Results of'statewide 1945 tests
in com production have been an
nounced by Dr. Emerson R. Col
lins, leading extension agronomist
at State College. Results to date
from 273 experiments in 62 coun
ties showed - that close spacing,
proper fertilization and the use of
adapted varieties of hybrid seed
increased normal yields by 20.3
bushels to the acre and increased
farmers’ average net return by
$23.35 per acre over usuftl methods
of productioh.
Test com yielded^ an -average of
66 bushels to the acre. Regular
“farmer” yields averaged 45.7
bushels. It had been specified at
the outset of the demonstrations
that hybrids be planted on “aver
age” land, plots which * normally
yielded less than 30 bushels of
com. The state average com yield
able to move in until next month.
There’s still the matter" of- plumb
ing to be installed, but fortunately
she has been able to secure the
necessary equipment. However,
there’s no cause for general ex
citement; the apartment has al
ready been promised.
SUTTON’S STORE . . . Those
paint buckets and other renova
tion elements which were recent
ly sitting in front of Sutton’s drug
store were rapidly put into use,
and have caused the store to look
as though it has had its face lifted.
The change was a wise one, and
lends just the right air of modem
efficiency.

has beet around 20 bushels for the
past 30 years. North Carolina’s
more progressive farmers volun
teered to make the production tests
and made more than twice the
average state yield in following
customary practices but fell short
of the hybrid mark by more than
50 per cent.
Shallow cultivation during early
growth of the crop and no culti
vation after plants were two and a
half feet high was credited by Dr.
Collins with greatly increasing
yields. The agronomist said that
for best results com should be
planted in three and a half-foot
rows at intervals of 16 to 21 inches,
fertilized with 300 to 500 pounds
of 6-8-6 fertilizer and top-dressed
with the equivalent of 500 pounds
of nitrate of soda. If fertilizer sup
plies are not up to recommenda
tions, the spacing of plants should
be lengthened accordingly.
WARNING AGAINST
CROTAbAftIA GIVEN
A warning against the use of
crctalaria as a cover crop on areas
to be grazed by livestock ccunes
from Dr. William Moore, head of
the veterinary division of the State
Department of Agriculture.
He said that it has been found
that the plant contains a power
ful alkaloid poison, the effects of
which do not show up immediately
on farm animals. Rather, he ex
plained, it accumulates in «,
tern over weeks and months w
killing them. ’
“The insidious thing about
is that the owners, not ■
the effects of the poison Pu?
blame other causes for the ’
Crotalaria is a good cover c
ssatt" **

The Best Tin?© To Cut Puypwood
Plan now to cut and peel as)much pulpwood as possible
f. <iuring the season when the sap is up and trees peel easily.
Peeled pulpwood prices are substantially above those
paid for rough wood.
There are many other advantages to peeling. The cut
and peeled log dries out quickly and loses up to half its
weight. The smooth, lighter pulpwood sticks^ are easier to
load and handle; you can. haul more pulpwood per trip;
save time, labor, gasoline and tires.
