His statement was given added weight by the war department’s specific request to the National Speleological society, to come up with 50,000 square feet of cavern space for factories, shelters and storage. m The modern cavemen, speleologists or just plain spelunkers, have a positive passion for exploring caves. They are tackling their assignment with zeal. These spelunkers who suddenly find their hobby taking on vital importance, are bankers, scientists, school teachers and others who just want to get away from it all by way of their underground hobby. The underground convention of the spelunkers in the Strick land quarry caverns outside Portland, Con., gave them a op portunity for an exhaustive survey of the caverns with an eye to their future use duripg atomic bomb raids. Photos above show members of the organization in the Strickland caves dur ing their recent convention.

LILES Now is the time to make plans for the 1947 wheat crop. Wheat will no doubt continue in much demand. According to recent fig ures from our Secretary of Agri culture, our North Carolina wheat acreage for 1946 was 459, 000 acres and our established goal for 1947 is 600,000 acres. This is an expected increase of 141,000 acres. Gates county can well afford to assume its portion of this increase to help feed a bread-hungry world. Lands planted in small grain and lespedeza are considered as undergoing a soil improving treatment. It gives rest to our too-often row cropped soils and yields a grain crop that does net require as much hand labor as other grain crops. Small grain and lespedeza works in good with row crop rotations nqw be ing used in our county. Let’s plan now for a 1947 wheat acreage. All agricultural agencies are sup porting and sponsoring increased grain for 1947. This is the time of year to watch for signs of certain plant food shortage on the present crop and plan to correct them during the next crop year. Potash de ficiency shows up on corn, cot ton and other crops at this time of year. Many cases of potash hunger have been noted recently, especially in corn. On corn, potash hunger shows up as a loss of green color on the edges and tips of the blade. In severe cases this results in a firing-up and tapered ears. On cotton, this condition shows up in a prema ture loss of leaves and poorly opened bolls. Many farmers are recognizing and remedying these conditions this year. Among those who have tried increased potash are: Mrs. O. C. Turner, M. E. Knight, Irvin Taylor, and Roy Stallings. These farmers have commented favorably on results from increased potash.
