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. USE EAGLE ADS 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
