SMITH SURRY COUNTY AGENT “Food Fights For Freedom” will be the subject of conversation and action in a meeting to be held in Dobson in the the Court House on Friday night at 7:30. The Agri cultural workers’ council will have .as their guests a group of state workers headed by O. F. Mc- Cary, district agent of the Exten sion Service of State College. The agricultural workers’ council has invited a number of key men from various farm organizations. Some of those invited are the County AAA Committee, the 'County Superintendent of Schools, the Surry Coimty USDA War Board, the bankers, the draft boards, the county commissioners, the press, and officers of the neighborhood leaders’ organiza tion. The size of the job to be done in 1944 will be agreed upon In this meeting. The “size” of the job will be known as “production ■goals” when it is presented to the farmers aS' tJieir part In the 1944- war effort. As we go to press in comes a new bulletin — North Carolina Fights with Extra Food — just published. The bulletin, is known as war series bulletin number 28 and was prepared by the N. C. State College Extension Service. The bulletin emphasizes that Ex tra food can; 1. Shorten the war. 2. Save American lives. 3. Help write the peace. These advantages of extra food should challenge all of us to do our best in food production in the coming year. The bulletin will soon be avail able in the'County Agent’s office for distribution to any citizen de siring a copy. It has information right to the point on doing our part on the fann. township, reports an interesting fact about results he secured this year on his farm with two varie ties of Irish potatoes. Last spring he planted eight bushels of Irish cobblers and hai’vested ten bush els. This was approximately an acre of potatoes. In thg same field Mr. Holder planted five pecks or one and one-fourth bushels of Sequoia variety of po tatoes and harvested eleven and one-half bushels. Both varieties were fertilized and cultivated ex actly alike. The difference being in the variety of seed potatoes. Mr. Holder now believes that it pays to plant the Sequoia variety of Irish potatoes. This field was on upland soil and not in bot tom land. It will pay to watch the kind of seed you plant in “Next Year’s Food Fight.” NEGRO WOMAN ROBBM $75 Lizzie Moore, Aged Jonesville Woman, Believed Victim of White Man S. A.

Now is the time to order the trees for planting this fall or ear ly. next spring in your home or chard. But if you have not made up your mind to provide some kind of spraying equipment and spray according to known prac tices, better not order the trees. Farm orchards in the past have been too large for the most part and have receive no special care. A few trees, such as apples, peaches and cherries, along with pecans and native walnut trees should have a prominent place in the home fruit garden. Kinds of Trees to Buy—As a rule one-year-old trees; whips of apple, cherry, plum and pear and large June budded peach trees are preferred. They are less expen sive and usually satisfactory if properly cared for. The main consideration is, that they should be healthy with a well developed root, system. f Paul Burch is a practical and successful dairyman ol the Moun tain Park community. He is practical because he grows the most of his feed. He is success ful because he has good Jersey cows and keeps records of their production. Diiring the Fat Stock Show in Elkin Mr. Burch and John A. Arey, Dairy Exten sion Specialist of State College, came to the writer of this col umn and announced that Mr. Burch would make available six well bred calves from his herd to 4-H club members of Surry coun ty. The price would be such that 4-H members and their parents could invest in the calves. Right now is the time, 4-H club mem bers, to locate your calf for next year’s Dairy 4-H Show, like the show held this fall in Winston- Salem. Don’t pass this oppor tunity up if you want a good calf!

Moore, aged Jonfesville negro woman, widow of the late Oliver Moore, is short $75.00 in cash from a box she had in the house where she kept her money, but Sheriff A. L. Inscore has the money now, and ready to refill the loosely kept box at the right time. Sheriff Inscore and Deputy Sheriff Fred Vestal of Jonesville have spent much time trying to unravel the old darkey’s troubles, get her money back and catch the culprit that stole it. They have succeeded in all but catching the thief. Lizzie’s troubles started when a white man who called himself an Indian, Chief Everett Hodg^, who was about as much Indian as a South Carolina Pinerooter hog, went to her home to sell her some Indian medicine which would cure her of everything from the toe' itch to smallpox. When he left Lizzie’s $75. had gone also. Offi cers were notified and got on his trail. They found where he had bought an automobile and paid $75 in cash on It, with bills iden tical to those lost by Lizzie. The man gave Sheriff Inscore the money and hoped to recover his car. A search by the sheriff locat ed the car in Winston-Salem where it had been sold to a wo man for $30.00. What will become of the car is unknown, but the sheriff will give the old darkey her money back at the right time. The sheriff’s last trip to Win ston-Salem Sunday revealed that the “heap big chief Hodge” had gone to the tall timber, and al though the search for him will be continued, his present where abouts carmot be calculated by the officers. Former County Agei^t To Manage Fa^*s\i A. P. Cobb, former Surry coun ty farm agent, left Dobson the first of this week for Battleboro, Edgecombe county, where he will manage a 22,000-acre farm for Braswell Co., an east Carolina farm corporation specializing in the growing of cotton, tobacco and peanuts. Mr. Cobb will move his family from Dobson to his new place of residence about January 1, he told The Tribune Friday. fattening hogs just as soon as the weather 'will permit. We are no weather prophet, but it will soon be cold enough to kill any size hog. There is another advantage of killing extra large hogs as soon as conditions are right — saves feed. Large hogs eat more feed per pound of grain than do small er animals. By large hogs we mean a fat hog over 300 pounds. It will pay better to give the extra feed to more hogs and kill or sell them at lighter weights. The following letter to Garland Johnson, Elkin Banker and chair man of the Elkin Agricultural Council is from the heart of a 4- H club boy. We want our readers to shai'e in the spirit of this let ter. The.letter is as follows: Route 2, Dobson, N. C. • Oct. 23, 1943. Dear Mr. Johnson: • I am a 4-H club boy living in the Copeland community. I want to thank you and all the other good people from Elkin for making it possible for us boys and girls to sell our fat livestock in Elkin. I would like for you all to have another sale next year. I sold 4 pigs in the sale. They brought $14.50 per 100 lbs. I am going to buy me a white-faced bull ' with the money and try to win first place next fall. I will close. Your friend, HAROLD LAYNE. That is the spirit that makes real men out of boys. This letter is enough to arouse any citizen to the benefits of 4-H club work and the satisfaction that belongs to a leader like Mr. Johnson. We bet that he has not received many letters lately that he values more highly than this boy’s letter.
