CROP Drive Exceeds That Of Last Year The 1953-54 Christian Rural Overseas Program in North Caro lina ^Ireadyj has exceeded the previous year’s returns by more than $7,000, the Rev. Carl R. Key of Durham, State CROP Director, said in Greensboro last Tuesday, k December 29th. ■ In a report to a meeting of the P CROP Executive Board and State Committee, the Rev. Mr. Kay placed the value of commodities received and cash in lieu of grain at $36,612.80. •‘We hope to reach $40,000 by the end of January”, he added. The CROP program officially ends the last of February. ‘"The over-all relief program of Church World Service. \Vhich includes CROP, has reached a value in commodities, cash, cloth ing and animals of $186,627.20, Key added, and that figure should exceed $200,000 by the year’s end. Key submitted his report to eight members of the Board and Committee, including the commit tee’s Chairman, Commissioner of Agriculture L. Y. Ballentine, who presided here at the American Friends Service Center, 336 Church St. “A modern miracle has been wrought by CROP workers in spirit, attitude and adaption to conditions”, Key said, “especially in view of the drought last sum mer.” More than 100,000 refugees, orphans and old people have been i aided by the program, Key de | dared. Three carloads of wheat, two from Catawba and one fiom Lin coln County were shipped to In dia. Seven 50,000 pound cars of dried milk have been shiped to Korea, India and Germany from as many counties. Two more cars of dried milk await shipment. 29 head of purebreed goats will be sent to Puerto Rico this week for distribution to poor farmers. A carload of Peanut Butter is sched- ■ tiled to go to Western Europe and the Near East by the end of the CROP year. Fertilizer Supply Adequate; Farmers Urged To Buy Early The fertilizer supply for this year looks very favorable in North Carolina, the state whose farmers use more plant food than any other. But the word went out today for farmers to order their supply early.

The state’s agricultural leaders have urged farmers to continue to boost their yields by applying plant food “where it is needed in the quantity it is needed.” Parker says that with sound fer tiliser management this year Gas ton farmers need not worry too _v_______ mmmm much about declining farm prices. The county agent says a recent USDA report indicates that ferti lizer supplied over the nation will be up 11 per cent for the 1953 54 crop year. The amount of rogen w 11 he about 2 million tons, nhosphates about 2 2-3 mil lion tons, and potash a little under 2 million tons.

Of Cherryville DAVID P DELLINGER, A. v4. AN EXCITING SCENE We tell about one of the most r.teresting, exciting and puzzling rcident that has happened in the history of the town, we think. , The prelude: Long before the turn of the century we had a prominent business firm operating under the style Rudisill & Ader holdt, Messrs. M. Erastus Rudi sil! and 1). William Aderholdt. I j They ran a large general store in the Mr. Peter l'. Ream two stortf; 'frame stores Building situated on-! j the west side of North Mountain : strept where the Shell Service 1 j Station is at present: Later they ' built a long frame store building I nf their own and moved over on 1 lv»st Main Street on the lot of I Harrelson Company. Here they stayed until after 1900 when they I | built the two story brick building | on the north side of the street on j the lot where the theater burned. Here they remait <'d for some ! years and then pulled up and went j to Burke County where they | operated the Henry River Cotton | Milks the balance of their days and years. j In addition to operating a large j store they did considerable farm. ; ing in and around town. Incident ; ally all the land on the.south side I of the railroad and west of South j Mountain street for a number of blocks was farming land. Ot course with the exception of a small lot lip-town where Mr. S. S. IMauney had a dwelling and store, i These two were the only buildings in this large area. For farming purposes Messrs. R. & A. always , kept a pair of fine horses. It was often said they always i>nd a team ‘ha* would run away every time 'they had a chance. Next ■scene was at the little branch that runs down from the ! Fred Houser estate and under the ! railroad. At that point there was a trestle about twenty feet high , and approximately one hundred * feet long. This was. known as the Mr. Cenhus Stroup trestle. Always ! considered one of the danger spots in the town as it would make | a Person dizzy to walk across it. I All the children of the town would he repeatedly warned never to go j upon the trestle for fear they ! could not get across before being j killed by a train. We had an I average of six" trains a day then. ' Now then, while a man was ploughing out about where Mrs. j J. P. De'linger lives the team ran I away. The horses got separated, i One went west down the middle ! of the railroad track. About half I way across the Stroup trestle he i feli through. That is, four of his , legs went through between the j cross ties. Of course he was help i less. Ln short order the town was alarmed and it seemed everybody ' was out at the scene (like going to a fire now in violation of the law). Trains were expected mo ; mentarily. What was to he done? j ! $20 to 540 SXTRA RROflT | | per 100 pullet (hicks ^ That’s what you shouM get from chicks started before March 15.

FEED AND SEED Phone 6121 ■ m m BmB'BmBmBm % How could the horse be removed? i Everybody had a solution but Messrs. A. & A. could not do what they all suggested. But how could he be rempved? Up to now, what did you think could he done? Well the solution was simple \ hut not too easy. A load of lumber j was hurriedly dispatched to the! west end of the trestle and a floor 1 made from the horse to solid ties and rlirt. A number of men lifted the front end of the horse up un til he got the fore feet on the plant floor and then lifted up the caboose and the horse walked off the trestle, none the worse for the experience. Talk about talk. That Was sure enough the talk of the town for years. While we are thinking of Messrs Kudisill and Aderholdt we might say they built the Buffalo Cotton Mills and the dam for power to run it. There was never enough water in Buffalo Creek for power | and the mi 11 was never a decided I success for anybody until electric power was brought in. Then the 1 spindleage was so small, only 3.-1 600, it never did pay so very well, j These men were always progres sive in every way and unceasing boosters. STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS Question: How much of each cut of meat is found in a side of beef? Answer; On the basis of a 100 pound si fit- there is Id pounds round steak, 3 pounds of heel pot roast. 3.5 pounds of hind shank, 3.5 pounds of rump (bone in), 1 pound of rump knuckle, half a pound of flank steak. 3 poends of flank stew, 8 pounds of sirloin steak. 5.5 pouncis of porterhouse steak. 6 pounds of plate, 3.5 pounds of brisket (bone ini. 3 pounds of rib (6th and 7th). 5 pounds of rib (8th to 12th) 1 pound English cut, 6 pounds arm pot roast. 11 pounds of blade pot roast, 6 pounds of neck (bone in) 1 pounds of fore shank, 2 pounds of lean meat, and 10,5 pounds fat, trim and hone. Question: ft I feed plenty of good silage, do- m.v cows need hay or some dry roughage also? Answer: Only a few direct com parisons of milk production from cows fed silage with arid without other roughage have been made. On the basis of results so far. it appears that at least a small amount of hay is desirable—but absolutely necessary for top pro duction. If you have adequate sil age hut limited hay, you should feed small amount of hay (2 to 5 pounds per day) and feed plenty of silage. * * * * * * 1 Question: Is it true that North I Carolina is now producing its first winter milk surpluk? Answer: Of Grade A milk, yes. Whether it is a temporary condi tion, or will last through the win ter is still a guess. The increase : per producer througout the state' ranges from JO to 25 per cent. One of the large miik products cooperatives, with exactly the same number of producers as a year ago, is now receiving 20 per cent more milk. Fit Coats And Suits For Ease Of Action “Size is most important in buy- ! ing a coat or suit,” says Julia Mc Iver, State College extensibn spec ialist in textiles and clothing. Miss Melvef cautions you to beware of the clerk fitting a Coat too small to wear over a suit or heavy wool dress. It's a good idea when buying a new coat to wear a suit on your shopping trip to in sure the correct fit of your coat. Pay particular attention to the tit of the coat over your shoulders and chest. And be" certain that it is comfortable around the neck when buttoned. The fit at the shoulders is the most crucial area in a coat or suit, explains Miss Mdver. If the shoulders fit other seams can usu ally be let in or out to fit. But if you get off to a “wrong start" with shoulders that are too big or too small, your garment will probably never-look right. “When you try on a coat or suit," says Miss Mdver, “your first step is toward a mirror.” You •ire looking for both flattery and fit. To look well on you, a suit must fit perfectly, from the shoul der to the hemline. Examine your appearance in a full length mirrow scrutinizingjy as you try on a new suit. Does the jacket hang evenly? Does the skirt fit well without “clinging?” Are the shoulders too right for you? Does gap at the back or lie on your neck' Does the the jacket bulge at the These questions should swered before you buy. so, to see that the coat or ‘J-~ designed ’ for action, that it w comi ortable to walk and sit in. , North Carolina ranked fourth among the states of the nation in receipts from farm marketing oi crops in 1952.
