Limber River m DiseonntCo. •^n’t wait until planting day to obtain the porper seed plantes for you com planter—-do it naw!” urges Dr. R. P. Moore, director in charge of ‘he North Carolina Improvement .^ssociationjat State College. Corn hybrids. Dr. Moore ex plains, are .^old by grades which may require special seed plates. Since good stands are needed to make high yields, attention must be given to the selection of the proper size plates. Many farmers rework the cells of either, old or new plates in or der ot get an accurate seed drop. The important, point is to make sure that the largest kernels of corn can be planted without dif ficulty. If this is done, the small er kernels will cause no trouble, especially in well-graded lots of corn. Most manufacturers of corn I planters are willing to help far mers select the proper plates, says Dr. Moore. However, he adds, farmers must be willing to help themselves. They must realize that luck is neither a good .farm ing partner nor a substitute for the proper plates. ft Phene 717 Sonth Elm St* LUBIBEBTON. N.

SCOTT roOLE Everybody knows that Raeford was formed from the last syll ables of McRae snd Williford, but all may not know that mail for the citizens of Central North Carolina was distributed by car- iers from Fayetteville. Fayetteville was at the head of navigation on the Cape Fear river, and that was the trade center for more than half the people of North Carolina. My mother took the Fayetteville Ob server, then a weekly paper. Farm produce was ’ marketed there, and supplies bought for a large area of North Carolina. Merchandise and mail were brought from the-North by ships and then up the Cape Fear river. Ships loaded with cotton and oth er produce were shipped to Nor thern markets. There were no througHline rail roads from the North until after the Civil War. The first through- line railroad was the Southern, the next was the Atlantic Coast Line. The Seaboard was built in between^ in the 1870’s. My first ride on a train was in 1880. when I first attended the State Fair. Say, good people, there are many^happy over the appointment of Dr. Frank P. Graham to the United States Senate. Senator Graham and Senator Hoey hold opposite views on the leading questions dividing the people, and we will be in about the same- po sition we would be in if we were unrepresented. Both are good, real good, but for opposite purposes, and a fel low in the Charlotte Observer Monday, Senator Graham holds membership in a number of or ganizations we do not like. How ever, he may be powerful good. Let’s wait and see. Fruits have been killed in Ap ril since I can remember, and if frost does not kill it next month we are in luck.

Two of the largest dogs in town jumped on one of the smallest dogs in town a few days ago, and that reminded that some people are like dogs. , It does not look so much like war now, but the “fools” may stir up trouble any time.

But around 900,000 families will move into new or enlarged homes this year. If you’ve ever built, you know that each one has the most important building program in the country. One of the most important—in size—is the construction program of the 6«sine5s-managed electric companies. In order to keep up with the increasing demand for light and power, these companies, hundreds of them, are build ing new plants, lines and equipment that will cost billions of dollars in all. Why? Well, your appetite for electric serv ice — like everybody’s — is growing bigger and bigger. New users^of electricity — babies and businesses — are being born in record numbers. W§’re catching up with the construction wje couldn’t do during the war. This expansion of the self-supporting electric companies is one of the biggest peacetime con- structidh jobs in history. The entire job is being done without the use of government money. Millions of men and women, from all walks of life, are investing their savings to make possible much more power for America.
