CORN Things so common, yet so monent ous, as our daily bread, and the fire by which it is cooked are taken for granted by society, and yet what modern invention is a greater boon to humankind than the adaptation of fire to human needs or the discovery of the uses of grain? Dr. Sylbanus C. Morley, of the Carnegie Institute, has dignified the lowly grain of corn by devoting years of research in its origin and history, and while his discovery that the first corn crop was harvested eight thousand years ago does lend this grain dignity it adds nothing to the savor of the delectable corn muf fin or the appetizing corn pone. Particularly interesting is the scientist's theory that corn develop ed in the highlands of Central Mex ico through the chance crossing of a heavy-seeded grass called twoso nite with some other wild species resembling sorghum. No doubt the process of hybridization continued through generations. The world will never know how long a time elapsed between the time of nature's per fection of the grain and its discov ery by some prehistoric man, or the circumstances under which it was first used for food by man. One won ders how long it took man, after dis covering the nutritious and tasty kernel, to learn to plant and culti vate it instead of depending upon nature's haphazard production. To that forgotten aborigine who, thousands and thousands of years ago, first happened upon the rust ling stalk whence sprang all the corn cakes and johnnycakes with which mankind has been doubly blessed throughout the ages human ity owes more than to the inventor of modern machinery for harvesting it, or to the railroads and steam ships which transport it from the conr belt to the dinner table. AUTO MAGIC "I don't own a car"?the admis sion has a guilty ring, so guilty that it must be accompanied by explana tions or defenses in this year, 1935 when the average retail price of an automobile is probably less than $750. And what a car it is! It can stand examination with a critical eye?surely it sems as if_the me chanical road millennium has dawn ed. 1 The signs of those who bemoan ,the passing of old craftsmanship? of what avail are they in the face of this miracle wrought by automatic machines and mass production? Not for $10,000 could the old artisans have produced this graceful effic ient and comfortable vehicle costing less on an average than $800. For these reasons the 1935 auto mobile shows assume an extraordi nary economic importance. The new cars meet the requirements of a di minished national income and still come up to the higher standards set by the car-buying public. They con form to changed conditions. Four or five years ago the poor est car could find enough buyers to net its makers a profit. Today the market is smaller and knows good auto flesh. Every automobile show will exhibit nothing but thorough breds this year. SEED CATALOG TDfE About this time, as the Old Farm ers' Almanac used to say, look out for seed catalog on the living room table. About now Mr. House bolder, in the comfort of the easy chairs, poures happily over those glowing pages on which are depicted flowers and vegetables grown in lux uirant qualities, and dreams of the. summer's garden triumphs. He may not realise all these dreams. There are plagues of pests to be encountered, the droughts of summer in some spots, aid too mncli rain in others, and the weeds and the beats of August,' taa| the stuff ing oat of many a fine garden. . But blessings be on the bead of the seed catalog man. We ean for giro him if he paints the reset and ^ little too' fitf ft to less loafing and wandering and fooling, and -I-.'- ? i \ truce lists 33. "i*;j ,T. " *7 ?3* fc> ' .1 1 MH ? ' , ~ ? -i - * To Owners of lire stock and Pets Since the latter half of November there has been an epidemic of hog cholera in this section of North Car olina as well as in other parts of the state. There has been annonaced by Washington Department of Agri culture as of December 1, 1934 that there is Hog Cholera raging throughout 33 states taking in about all of the large fanning statea In this case, we know that pork and lard will be bound to be higher in price and every pig saved at this time will be of mutual advantage to everyone. There is only one proper time to immunize service against cholera and that is when the pigs are not over four weeks of age in this par ticular area. There is another d;sease of swine that is slowly gaining a foothold in this county and that is Swine Ery sipelas which is a contageous dis ease of swine and nearly as fatal to the herds of swine. If proper steps are not soon taken by the livestock owners, the disease of Swine Ery sipelas will be of such an extent that the present methods of control can not be effective. In order to discuss the control of this disease with the livestock owners of this area, Dr. Smith, the local veternarian will talk to the farmers at a meeting to be held at 7:30 p. m., January 30, 1935, in the Municipal Building at Farmville. The disease of rabbies is slowly spreading over the United States and North Carolina is at the pres ent time experiencing a mild rabbies scare. Reports are coming in of rab bies in the local surrounding county districts. Early vaccination of dogs before they are exposed to rabies is recommended by the health au thorities. Dr. Smith reports that on Decem ber 25, 1925 he killed a mad cow in this state sending the beast to Ra leigh, and the diagnosis of rabies was confirmed by the State labora tory of Hygiene. This particular case followed a rabies epidemic among dogs in the days of which a school child was bitten about the face by a rabied dog. The child died of the dread disease. An several ani mals in the vicinity were stricken, one of which happened to be the cow mentioned. From time to time a meeting of the farmers of this section will be called for purposes of advising live stock owners how best to prevent illness among their animals. Remember the meeting, 7:30 p. ra. January 30, at th Farmville Muni cipal Building and be sure to attend and tell others. The North Carolina Forestry As sociation will meet in Raleigh at the Sir Walter Hotel, Wednesday and Thursday, February 6 and 7, an nounces R. W. Graeber, extension forester at State College.

The January meeting of Parent Teachers Association was held Fri day, January 18 at three p. m. in Perkin's Hall with ninety-seven members present. Dr. J. C.

An article, "Is My Child Relig ious?" was read by Miss Christelle Lucas. This article is one of the many interesting ones to be found in the recent P. T. A. magazine. Mrs. Hobgood introduced Dr. N. T. Ennett, our new County Health officer, who gave an outline of his proposed program of work. The association voted to send a telegram to our state representative requesting him to vote for the Child Labor amendment to the N. D. con stitution. The report of the room roll call showed that Miss Annie Perkin's room, one-A, had the greatest per centage of parents present Miss Copeland's room, seven-A won the attendance flag for the largest per centage of attendance this month.

Tickets for invisible guests are being sold Our Nest Is Empty, Too C. B. Mashburn E Perched in a tree were mother and robin redbreast In solemn and thoughtful mood, Looking reminiscently into an empty nest Where once lay their little brood.* I saw the sadness in their eyes; felt the ache within their hearts. Empty that nest! And tho clear the skys, A cloud hangs o'er their hearts . , . They had built that nest with loving care, Of threads as pure as gold, fair, Bound it together with iove-knots And downy-lining, kept out the cold. i Though built with dream of eternal bliss, That nest is discarded to-day! j But it had served its purpose?this: Cradled the birdlets 'til they flew away. ? . We, too, little birds, built us a nest, ! And hedged it about with care; Made it cozy, quiet, so they could restj And laid our little ones there. And we, like you, in life's spring time builded, But, oh, that season is o'er! And only memory's page is gilded With the prattle of on the floor. They now are dreaming and build ing nests 'Mid bowers their hearts beguil ed, While Mother and I keep the empty nest And pray for the nest of each child. DR. H. B.
