Soldiers Are Human, After All
A soldier of the 30th Division at Fort Jackson from Frank
linton, N. C, sent a poem to The Record (Columbia, S. C.) asking
that when you "meet a soldier, just treat him like a friend." The
poem, entitled, "Soldiers Are Human," follows:
A soldier is nobody, we hear people say,
He is an outcast in the world and always in the way;
We admit there are bad ones from the Army to the Marines,
But you will find the majority the most worthy you've seen.
Most people condemn the soldier when he takes a drink or two,
But does the soldier condemn you when you stop to take a few?
The government picks its soldiers from millions far and wide,
So place him your equal, buddie, side by side.
Now don't scorn the soldier when he takes you by the hand.
For the uniform he wears means protection for the land.
When a soldier goes to battle, you cheer him on his way,
You say he is a hero when in his grave he'll lay;
But the hardest battle of a soldier is in the time of peace,
When people mock and scorn him, and treat him like a beast.
With these few words we close we hope we don't offend,
But when you meet a soldier, just treat him like a friend.

New High Record Set In
Construction During '40
1940 was a boom year for the con
struction industry.
New homes sprang up faster than
in any year since 1929. Factories
took shap at a record pace as in
dustry responded to the call of na
tional defense. So furious was the
tempo at year-end that observers
wondered whether the capacity f the
construction industry was great
enough to handle defense construc
tion in 1941 and still care for ex
panding civilian demands. Building
costs were creeping upward. '
Residential construction got off to
a slow start bepause of unfavorable
weather, but contracts piled up in
the final three quarters of the year
dispelling all fears that the boom in
home building might have run its
course.
Expansion to handle defense con
tracts in machine tool, airplane and
chemical process industries helped
boost private factory building to a
new high of $597,000,000 more than
doulble last year and compared with
$547,000,000 in 1929. This total did
not include large contracts for plant
expansion for the account of the
government.
Seven members of the British Pur
chasing Commission to the United
States stopped over in Wilson Mon
day night but would make no com
ment about the reason for their trip
to this section of the country or to
conditions in the war in Europe.
The commission left by automobile
Tuesday morning for Fort Bragg and
it was thought that there might be
a possibility that some sort of dem
onstration would probably be made
for them at the fort in connection
with some sort of war equipment.
The commission of seven men sat
around in the Cherry hotel lobby
Sunday night and listened to the
speech of President Roosevelt over
the radio and then "got in a huddle
to discuss it" afterwards.
The commission members would
make no comment about the speech
of the president that advocated "all
out aid" to Great Britain.
One member of the commission
commented that in the last few
months he had traveled some 48,000
miles in purchasing work for the
British. The commission has been in
this country some 10 days.
A ' comment by' a guest at the
hotel about the fact that "I'm glad
I live in the United States now
brought comment from one member
of the commission that "things really
aren't so bad over there and England
is a beautiful country."
Members of the commission who
stayed at the Cherry hotel Sunday
night were: H. F. G. Letson, P. S.
Gostling, B. S. Messick, A. G. Voce,
J. S. Butler, B. F. Lock and D.
Campion. John G. Thomas in Wilson
Times. '
"How did you get your start, sir?"
asked the inquiring collegiate.
"Oh, I really don't like to tell,"
sighed the magnate. "But if you must
know, I had a smart grandmother."
"A smart grandmother ?" .
"Yes, she bought me some stocks
and pulled the strings and made me
an officer of the company. When I
wasn't doing so well, she bought me
some more stocks and made me pres
ident."
Narrow Tobacco Plant
Bed Is Recommended
Four good reasons for constructing
a narrow tobacco plant bed are
listed in pre-season recommendations
to tobacco erowers by Dr. Luther
Shaw, plant pathologist of N. C
State College. He also suggests the
importance of the proper location for
the plant bed.
"If the plant bed is built narrow,"
Dr. Shaw said, "more plants are
produced per square yard; the danger
of trampling on plants while weed
ing or pulling is avoided; the plants
can be watered more easily and
uniformly; and fourth, and most im
portant, narrow beds can be equipped
and. treated for blue mold with satis
factory results than wide ones."
The plant pathologist, recommends
that the plant bed be 5 feet 8 inches
wide to allow the standard six-foot
cover to fit snugly when the fumi
gation method is used to .control blue
mold, A pathway 18 inches to two
feet wide should be left between
adjacent beds.
"The benzol or paradichlorobenzene
fumigation methods are the best for
controlling blue mold,' Dr. Shaw
pointed out. "Copper-oxide spray is
also satisfactory when applied in ad'
vance of the first appearance of the
disease on the farm. The spray acts
best as a preventative, while the
fumigants will kill the mold after
it has infeeted the plant bed."
The State College specialist also
suggests that the plant bed be
located convenient to a , source if
water, and preferably near the house,
because constant attention is required
during the development of the young
plants. "It is also desirable," he says,
"to locate the beds so that they will
be protected as much as possible
from strong winds."

CHICK
S
To My Friends and Customers:
THE OLD YEAR is past and we turn with Hope and Confidence to a new one.
No one knows what it holds for us.' But we believe good things are in store for
those who choose wisely. Many people start the year with but little cash and
therefore will try to stretch it as far as they1 can, and will accept an inferior
product in order to make his dollar buy as much as he wants. This is not choosing
wisely. Poultry profits CANNOT be made unless you buy quality chicks. Quality
chicks cannot be produced without a practical knowledge of Breeding, Feeding and
Incubating. x -
FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS I have given my whole time to the study of
these problems, with the result that we are offering you chicks produced with this
knowledge at practically the same price you would pay for just chicks produced
without this knowledge. ,
IN 1939 WE MADE purchases of Record of Performance Birds, as good as
money could buy. From these birds we have sold several specimens for $20.00 each. '
You, too, can have quality poultry if you choose wisely. There is a difference. .
