Spring Suggestions
For Livestock Men
Rise In N. C.
Juvenile Delinquency
Chapel Hill, May 2. Juv
enile delinquency in North
Carolina increased 18.6 per
cent during the 30-month
period following the United
States' entry into the World
War II, as compared with the
30-month period immediate
ly preceding the war, accord
ing to North Carolina juv
enile Court records compiled
and tabulated by Dr. Wiley
B. Sanders, associate profes
sor of social work at the Uni
versity of North Carolina.
Dr. Sanders is tabulating
records collected by the State
Board of Public Welfare as
a part of a continuation study
of two previous studies that
have gone before.
North Carolina has compil
ed and tabulated juvenile
court records over a 25-year
period, and Dr. Sanders says
that he believes this State's
collection of such figures the
most complete i nthe coun
try. Delinquency hearings for
white children showed an
increase of 41 per cent in the
30 months following the be
ginning of the war over the
previous 30 months, while
those for Negro children de
creased during the same
period by 2.3 per cent.
White girls showed the
highest rate of increase, 46
per cent. White boys show
ed an increase of 39.9 per
cent; Negro girls' cases in
creased 14.9 per cent, while
Negro boys' cases decreased
by 5.3 per cent.
The greatest increase in
juvenile delinquency, Dr.
Sanders' tabulations show,
occurred i nthe city juvenile
courts where the rate went
up 39.1 per cent as compar
ed with the county juvenile
courts where the increase
was only 16.3 per cent.
High Point City Juvenile
Court hrowed the highest in
crease, 42.4 per cent; Wil
mington next with 41.4 per
cent increase; then Greens
boro, 36.2 per cent. The juv
enile and domestic relations
court in Charlotte and Meck
lenburg County showed an
increase in delinquency cases
of 7.2 per cent, while the do
mestic relations court in
Asheville and Buncombe
county showed a decrease of
2.2 per cent in Juvenile de
linquency. Most significant decrease
showed by the figures is in
the Rocky Mount Juvenile
Court where the decrease in
delinquency after the war's
start was 21.9 per cent, chief
ly in cases involving Negro
boys, where the decrease was
40.8 per cent.
Dr. Sanders' tabulations
are the result of a compre
hensive survey of ihe State's
107 juvenile courts, 100 of
which are county courts and
seven of which are city
courts. Officials from each
court pass along statistical
information on each case to
the State Board of Public
Welfare and to Dr. Sanders.
IT PATS TO ADVERTISE
IN THE NEWS-JOURNAL.
II. Bruce Butler, assistant
Wake County farm agent,
has offered timely spring
suggestions to livestock far
mers in his section of the
state which he feels will fa
cilitate production in the face
of low feed supplies.
At the outset he observes
that the alfalfa crop is now
ready for its first cutting of
the season and says that the
best quality and greatest
quantity of hay will result
if the field is cut before 10
per cent of it is in bloom.
Growers are encouraged to
observe alfalfa plants to see
if there is evidence of "plant
hunger" due to fertilizer de
ficiency. Six hundred to 800
pounds of 2-12-12 fertilizer
with boron should be used
on each acres immediately
after the first cutting.
On land where alfalfa will
be planted next fall, three
tons of dolomitic limestone
(in Wake and adjacent coun
ties) shoud be spread three
months before fall seeding.
Eight to 10 tons of manure
per acre is also recommen
ded and lespedeza or some
other legume should be dis
ced into the land before seed
ing alfalfa.
Newly seeded permanent
pastures should be free of
grazing until plants are at
least six inches high. Limited
grazing the first year is a pro
fitable practice. Some of the
most desirable pasture plants
will die if close grazing is
permitted. One acre of ab
undant pasture should be
provided for every farm ani
mal to be grazed.
60 N. C. TOWNS WILL
SPLIT $9,800,000 FUND
FOR AIRPORTS
The Senate passed a 500
million bill on April 30 for
improvement and construe
tion of airports under the
C.A.A.
All towns receiving help
from this fund are required
to match a dollar for dollar.
NEW PAPER MILL
AT ACME
A special $6,300,000 paper
mill is slated to be construct
ed in Columbus county. Pre
liminary steps have been
okayed by the Civilian Pro
duction Administration and
several Columbus County
businessmen.
This new plant will be ap
proximately 20 miles from
Wilmington, N. C.
AUTO DEATHS UP
Since the war ended auto
deaths jumped one-third!
Will you help protect your
community against this
growing menace?
Slaughter on our streets
is skyrocketing. Each day
the nation's toll grows more
alarming . . . and you ve the
same appalling story right
in your community. With
traffic accidents claiming
950,000 victims killed or in
jured each year how long
can it be before tragedy
touches you ... or yours?
