Hybrid Corn
Demonstrations
Corn yields have been and are
still terribly U>w in this state.
Therefore, some demonstrations
were planned with the idea of
[increusmg the yields per acre by
I the use of hybrid corn, good fer
tilization, and good soil.
Hybrid corn has certain quali
ties that are not found in reg
ular field com. It ha* a heavier
and stronger stalk and an excel
lent root system which enables
it to stand the drought better.
The following farmers planted
hybrid corn and regular corn as
'demonstrations and the following
I results were obtained. Both the
hybrid and the regular corn were
treated alike except for fertili
zer differences which will be
shown in the results;
Will Torrence, R-3, Gastonia,
planted N. C. T23 (hybrid) and
Lathans Double (his corn). The
plots were adjoining and were
fertilized and cultivated alike,
but the hybrid yielded 80.4 bush
el, per acre against 61.4 busn
els for the Lathans Double.
The Eaker Brothers—Lee and
iSvlvanus - of R-l, Bessemqi
City made 50.0 Dusnei* per aai'
of hybrid corn against 44.'*.
bushels of the regular farmers
com. Mr. Eaker planted hybrid
N. C. T 12. These plots were
treated identically and the af*'
clitional yield was due to the hy
brid.
Mr. Lee Lewis, R-2, Gastonia,
planted Hybrid N. C. T20 and
regular com. Three hundred
pound*, per acre of 5-7-5 was
put under the corn at planting.
One plot of the hybrid had 100
pounds Nitrate of Soda and the
regular corn had the same out
the hybrid dded 67.5 bushels
per acre and the regular 60.5
bushels. The hybrid yielded an
additional 7.2 bushels per acre.
Another plot using hybrid com
in the same field with 200 pounds
nitrate of soda per acre yielded
74.6 bushels per acre. From these
results, the indications are that we
can use more liberal applications
of top-dresing. From a money
value, the extra 10! pounds of
nitrate of soda cost $2.26 but the
additional seven bushels of corn
at $1.50 was worth $10-50 or a
profit of $8.25. ,
The yields obtained from these
demonstrations were calculated,
figuring twenty-five per cent fm
moisture. Several farmers thru
out the county are reporting ex
cellent yields from the use of hy
brid corn. Mr. Tom Sparrow, R-l.
Gastonia, and Mr. O- L. Carroll.
R-2. Cherryville, reported hvbrid
yields of approximately 65 bush
els per acre.

THERE MAY NOT BE ENOUGH
CHRISTMAS GOODS THIS YEAR
Demand Is Biggest Ever, But Quantity Is Limited
Postwar products have just
begun to reach the shelves of
stores across the country and
none in any great volume. A
survey of the Christmas market
made by the National Confer
ence of Business Paper Editors,
who have intimate knowledge of
every phase of American busi
ness, reveals a tremendous buy
ers’ demand for the token quan
tities of goods available.
Father will be lucky if he gets
a shirt to go with his usual Christ
mas tie women’s lingerie stocks
are low and dressing gowns of all
types will be in short supply..
Few families will blossom out
with a new automobile, as the
most optimistic predictions set
toial producton at 200,000 cars,
or only 4 cars per dealer.
Briefly, here's how the busi
ness magazine editors size up the
Christmas market.
House furnishings — No new
lamps, Refrigerators, vacuums
and other household appliances
in very limited supply. Decora
tive accessories in fairly good^ sup
ply. Furnture stocks low. Some
sterling silver flatware. Plated
flatware in complete sets, but
limited designs.
Sporting goods—Sufficient hun
ting guns and ammunition. Fish
ing specialites back on the mar
ket, but not many rods and reels.
Synthetic golf balls in limited
supply, but no golf clubs.
Toys—Only a token showing
of wheel toys, electric trains,
mechanical toys. Few metal and
rubber toys; more plastics and
plenty of wooden toys.
Radios—Limited quantities of
table models with plastic case.
Appliances—Moderate supply
of electric irons, heating pads,
toasters, perculators, coffee ma
kers, grills, electic shavers and
waffle irons.
Linens and domestics—Infor
mal print luncheon sets, banquet
cloths, cocktail napkins and bath
sets in sufficient quantities. Com
forters, Turkish towel sets, bed
spreads, sheets, pillow cases and
blankets scarce.
Gift and ai-t merchandise—
Wide variety but limited supply
of any particular article.
Stationery i nd writing sets—
Reasonable supply of lower pric
ed items. Popular-priced foun
tain pen and pencil sets plenti
ful.
I Photographic equipment —
Good supply of film. Cameras still
scarce. Only fair supply of en
largers, movie projectors and
camera accessories.
Leather goods—Luggage and
'handbags limited. Good supply of
| small items.
Toiletries—Gift sets return to
market, but imported perfumes
, limited.
| Men’s wear—Shirts, shorts, pa
jamas, socks and men’s spit in
generally short supply or scarce.
I Women’, wear—Blouses scarce.
' Fairly adequate assortment of
gloves, shoes and house slippers.
Nylon hosiery limited.
Infants’ gifts—Wearing appar
el scarce, but adequate supply of
soft toys and washable dolls,
cause of no relief in sugar suo
Candy—Quantity limited be
cause of no relief in sugar quo
Spirits.—One bright spot on
Christmas list with exception of
t Scotch, bourbons and some blend
led whiskies. Plentiful supply of
gins, rums and all types of Amer
ican wines.
As for distribution, it appears
that store, in smaller towns are
able to offer as varied stocks in
'many cases, as those in larger ci
i ties this may be the result of
the larger population in cities,
where men and women are push
ing and crowding atid fighting
! for Christmas goods, especially
| toys and clothing.
Returning servicemen and wo
men usually land in the big ci
ties first where they attempt to
make their initial purchase, of
civilian goods. Men’s stores in
large cities are especially hard
hit, their stocks depleted by men
getting out of uniform, as quick
ly as possible.
I Likewise, millions of women
who wore uniforms, or who wore
! slacks for war work, are now de
manding dresses and more fem
inine attire. They shop tirelessly
from store to store in every city,
fighting for their Christmas
goods.
On the other hand, men and
women in small towns are shop
ping more leisurely, but purchas
ing heavily of everything they
can find.
It's a mad rush! But it looks
like it’s going to be America's
merriest Christmas!
Bell System Needs Earnings Of At Least 6;i
To 7 Percent on Total Capital^ Says A.T. & T.
The Bell Telephone System
needs to earn at least from 61.2 to
7 per cent on its total capital in
vestment in order to attract from
investors the large amounts of
new capital required according to
Leroy A. Wilson, Vice-President
of the American Telephone ano
Telegraph Company, in an articic
to appear in the forthcoming issue
of the Bell Telephone Magazine.
Looking ahead for ten years.
Wilson foresees a possible
new capital requirement for more
than two billion — nearly as much
as the Bell System has had to ob
tain in the last 25 years.
There are many thousands of
jobs ahead in the manufacture and
installation of plant to provide
new and more and more bqtter
services for the public, Mr. Wilson
points out. Included in the 2,000,
000 presently unfilled orders for
telephone service, restoring plant
margins to prewar standards’, add
ing another million telephones in
rural areas to the million already
in service, expanding the program
of fast and accurate dial service,
adding hundreds of thousands
of miles new long distance cir
cuits,, creating a nation-wide net
work of coaxial cables which will
transmit television pfc'ogirams as
well as telephone message, elimi
nating old telephone instruments
and introducing new types, great
ly enlarging the scope of radio
telephone service, and providing
for the normal future growth ol
the business. “Earnings high
enough mean that the Bell System
,can go forward and improve its
service, increase employment, pay
jgood wages, develop further ways
and means of increasing the value
of the service, and in the long run
continue to reduce its cost,” says
Mr. Wilson. “Experience proves
it. It is because the Bell System
as a whole ha4 oDtaineo enougn
money to do its job well that it
has been able to give its custo
ers much more for their money.'’
The money invested in the Bell
System, Mr. Wilson reports, has
increased from about 11)3 billion*
in 1920 to a total of more than 4
billions at the end of 1944. About
two-thirds of these four billions
have been invested by stock
holders, who now number more
than 630,000. The remaining one
third is borrowed money. It is up
on this entire capital structure,
composed of both stock;, and
bonds, that the need for earnings
of at least 61|2 to 7 per cent is
based. ,
Reviewing the history of Bell
System service to this country,
Mr. Wilson list* many specific
improvements which have been
| brought about during the last 25
years.
The number of telephones has
nearly tripled in that period,
while population has gained only
about 30 per cent. The average
daily number of conversations
i-ardled bv the system went up
from 33 million to more than 86
million, and conversation per per
«iw increased from about 160 to
280 rer year.
Interlcity telphone messages
shot up from 360 million to more
than 1.600 million, and over the
route- of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company’s Lonf
T,inrs Dooartment the number of
conversations increased seven
fold, from 26 million a year to
ah<>ut 196 million.
Overseas radio telephone* ser
vice was introduced in 1927, a»d
subsequently extended to more
than 75 countries.
Long distaince service has been
say* Mr. Wilson. “It is also more
speed of service, and in clarity oi
transmissidn. The scope and re
liability of local service have also
been steadily improved. “Service
is taster, more accurate, more de
l endable, more courteou, as well
as many times more extensive.-’
says Mr. Wilson. “It i, alos more
tor the money.”
"Today telephone service is be
.uig furnished at relatively less
cost to the user than at any time
in telephone Ihistory. Compared
with rates of 25 year* ago, Hell
System customers are now saving
250 million dollars annually. Long
distance rates are much lower
than in 1920. The average station
to-station day rate between the 25
largest cities in the country is
down from about $6.00 to less
than $1.75. The transcontinental
day rate for a station-to-station
call has been reduced from $16.50
to $2.50. Overseas rate, have been
cut drastically since the service
wa, opened in 1927. “Just as im
portant has been the great in
crease in the value of telephone
service is the number of other
•telephones in. the exchange or
area that each customer can call.
In the 170 largest U. S. cities
served by the Bell System, the
average number of telephones the
customer can reach by a lacal call
nas increased from 30,000 in 1920
to over 80,000 today, and the
monthly cost to the residence cus
tomer, measured by each 1,000
telephones each can reach by a lo
cal call has declined 60 per cent.
“The progress of the telephone
in America has sprung from the
initative, the spirit of fair play,
and the common sense of the A
merican people. The opportunity
for progress is enormous. The
physical means and human skill
are at hand to provide far more
and better telephone service than
ever before.
“Bell System people know how
to turn the promise into perfo -
mance, and they also know from
experience that the key to success
is full understanding of the whole
process by all concerned—not
only by telephone employees, but
also by the public and bv cove™
ment authoriM 8 reepo sible for
re<mlating telephone ■enherptu-"

'ey Reveals Misunderstanding
About Two Social Insurance Plans
Inquiries made recently by
that less than half of the 200
'ity Board in this region, show
field offices of the Social Secur
I people, interviewed, knew the dif
ference between the two insur
ance plans under the Social Se
curiitl Act. Many of them be
lieved that the one percent social
security tax, which a wage earner
pays for Old-Age and Survivors
Insurance would entitle him to
Unemployment Compensation
benefits, in case he should lose
his job.
Mrs. Janet Hall Green, Mana
ger of the Gastonia Field office of
the Social Security Board, ex
plained that the Social Security
tax which is paid by workers and
by employers in business and in
dustry is collected by the Feder
al government and placed in a
trust fund from which Old-Age
and Survivors Insurance benefits
are paid. This plan makes it pos
sible for wage earners, during
their working years, to build up
advanced protection for them
selves and for their families. The
benefits are based on the work
er’s own wages in jobs that come
under the law.
Unemployment Compensation—
which is sometimes called job in
suranc©—ia administered by the
State, with Federal aid and co
operation. No wage earner in
thi, state pays any Unemploy,
ment Compensation tax. Business
and industrial c oncers which--,
employ 8 or more workers,
all of the Unemployment CotaV/
pensation tax in this State. It ia
their employees who may re
ceive Unemployment benefits
when they lose their jobs.
The purpose of Unemployment
Compensation is to furnish some
income to insured workers, dur
ing periods when they can get oth
out work, until they can get oth
er jobs. Payments are not equal
to the worker’, regular wages,
but they will help tide him over
until he can get back to work.
Men or women, covered by the
law, who have lost their jobs,
should call at the local U. S. Em
ployment ^Service offices, iregis
ter for a job, and file claim for
Unemployment Compensation.
The USES office mb located at
214 South St., Gastonia, N. C.
Claimants for Old-Age and
Survivors Insuiance benefits
should apply at the field office
of the Social Security Board lo
cated at 204 National Bank of
Commerce, Gastonia, N. C.
Three Assistants
To R C Godwin
RALEIGH, Dec. I2.r—Rapidly
increasing demobilization of the
armed forces has caused a reor
ganization and expansion of the
Veterans Employment Service in
North Carolina, in unison with
other states, by the addition of
three assistants to R. C. Godwin,
State Veterans Employment Rep
resentative in North Carolina
since 1939.
Mr. Godwin announce, that, in
addition to Robert A. Wadsworth,
Raleigh, fdrmer assistant \f?tp.te
director of the War Manpower
Commission and area director of
WMC, two other veterans, both
of World War II, one from the
Navy and one from the Army,
have been added to the State
office staff, along with stenogra
phic help.
In all local and branch USES
offices one or more interviewers
have been appointed or designat
ed as veterans employment rep
resentatives, practically all of
them veteran, of World War II,
to handle the increasing numbers
of veterans seeking employment
or advise as they are releas d
from the armed forces.
Henry E. Hilton, native of
Hickory and with the Employ
ment Service for more than five
years before three years in the
Navy, has just assumed his du
ties as an assistant State veter
an, employment representative.
As Lieut. Hilton, he saw exten
sive service in the Pacific area
and later was stationed for a
few months in Washington in
personnel work.
After school at Mountain Park
Institute and Rutherford Col
lege, Mr. Hilton received the A.
B. degree from Berea College,
Berea, Ky., and served for three
years as clerk, assistant manager
and manager of Farmer Supply
Stoes in Salisbury, Kinston, Char
lotte and Greenville. He joined
the Employment Service in Win
ston-iSalem as an interviewer late
in 1937, later serving as mana
ger of the Lexington office fr i
two years, as an occupational
analyst in the State office, ar
wa, file supervisor of the loweT
Piedmont industrial area for a
bout a year, until hi, entry into
the Navy.
James M. Kennedy, Jr., Ral
eigh, himself a disabled vet' ran,
is a new assistant to deal pri
marily with disabled veterans.
He was in the Army for two and
a half years, serving as a war
rant officer in the Adjuant Gen
eral’s office and as counsellor un
der the G. I. Bill. He wa, inter
viewer and supervising interview
er at Concord pnd acti"«? m°na

IS IMPROVING
We’re On Our Way To Serve
Those Wailing For Telephones
\^ITH the receipt of increasing amounts of
telephone equipment from our manufacturers, we
are making progress in catching up on held orders
for service.
In many places where new additions to outside
plant and central offices were not required we are
now installing telephones without delay. But in
places where additional outside lines and cables
are needed or where central office switchboards
must be manufactured and installed it will require
more time before we can catch up with orders for
telephones now on hand.
Building new lines, installing new cables over
head and underground and expanding central office
facilities, which, in many instant \ calls for new
buildings or building aduitions, is a big undertak
ing. It's a job that requires a tremendous amount
of labor and time to complete.
We are anxious for all who want service to get
it. And you may be sure that we are doing all we
can to hasten the day when no one will have to
"wait for telephone service. e
