Hoey Has Proof Os Popularity RECOMMENDATIONS ENACTED INTO LAW IN MOST INSTANCES N«rth Carolina. Governor Hu No Veto, So Be Moat Rely Upon His Followers^ Raleigh The 1930 general as sembly followed a path in the general direction of the goals out lined in Governor Hoey’s biennial message. Unlike the chief executives of other states, the governor of North Carolina has no veto pow er. In order to shape laws, A Tar Heel chief executive must rely solely upon his own supporters in a legislature. A proof of Governor Hoey’s popularity was offered during the dying days of the 1939 session. Both houses unanimously adopted a resolution endorsing him for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. In his biennial message, Gov ernor Hoey made 14 specific re commendations to the general assembly. Os these, 10 were fol lowed fairly closely, one result ed in a compromise which the govarnor unofficially endorsed and three suggestions were ig nored. The governor recommended: 1. A balanced budget. Revenue officials say the budget for 1939- 41 biennium is substantially in balance. 2. Ninth and 10th. salary in crements for teachers. Money was appropriated for the incre ments, although the allotments were not specifically earmarked for use as increments. 3. Better facilities for Negro education. Graduate courses were authorized at the N. C. College for Negroes. Curricula expansion also was authorized at Normal Colleges for Negroes in Fayette ville and City. 4. Election reforms. Laws pro hibiting absentee voting in pri maries, regulating activity of markers in primaries, and calling for a re-listing, of voters before the 1940 primaries were adopted. 5. More emphasis on crime pre vention. A state department of justice was established. 6. More agricultural research. A substantial increase was made in the allitment for the N. C. State college experiment station. Fertilizer taxes were raised to fin ance a marketing program. 7. The transfer from the high way fund to the general fund of an amount equal to application to gasoline of the three per cent sales tax. This was followed to the letter. The legislature auth orized the diversion, if necessary, of 15,000,000 during 1939-41. 8. Passage of a permanent re venue act. Such an act was pass ed, which incorporated the gen eral thr.ee per cent sales tax into the state’s continuing fiscal pol icy. 9. An increase in the number of state highway patrolmen. An in crease of 50 was authorized. 10. Continuation of the state ad vertising program. The program was continued, although the ap propriation was reduced slightly. 11. Establishment of a grade, if funds could be found to finance * Out floral arrangements for every purpose are beanti ful, bating and moderately priced. 1 Long’s Flower Shop In Henry's Phone 2341 With General Assembly - ’ vwmr ■ JHa , J 3 the addition. The legislature fail ed to find the funds and did not establish the grade. 12. Issuance of $5,000,000 in highway bonds. The legislature did not authorize the bonds. 13. Granting judges and juries discretionary powers in pronounc ing death sentences. A bill to al low judges and juries to mete out life imprisonment sentences, in stead of death sentences, in capi tal cases was killed. 14. Higher tuition for students at state institutions of higher learning. A compromise was reached which authorized an in crease in the tuition of out-of state students. In 1937, Hoey made more than a score of recommendations to the general assembly. All but two— calling for a state-wide referen dum on liquor and for reappoint ment of the membership of the house of representatives—were adopted. Last year, the governor called a special legislative session to au thorize issurance of bonds to fin ance the state’s share of a PWA building program. The special ses sion followed every gubernatoral suggestion. o SECOND TALLEST MAN WEDS Rockford, 111.—Standing 8 feet 7 inches, second tallest man in world, Clifford Thompson, 34 years old, married a dancer who .appeared in the same circus with him, who stood only 5 feet 5 inch es.

FARM QUESTIONS ANSWERED Question: What can I do to sti mulate egg production in my poultry flock? Answer: If the birds are just poor layers, there is nothing to do except to get rid of the hens. However, the feeding factor must be considered and a careful check should be made to see that a plentiful supply of feed is before the hens at all times. Then, too, be sure that the feed formula has not been changed as any change in diet will cause a fall ing off in production.

Answer: Mowing should be started this spring just as soon as the grass is tall enough for the machine to catch the ends of the leaves and should be run over the lawn every week during the growin gseason. Hie clipping, however, should not be too dose nor should be cut grass be mow ed. After the grasses have gotten well started into growth, an ap- I plication of nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia should be made at the rate of 100 pounds to the acre. This is especially true if the grasses are not growing well and do not have a good color. Do not apply this material when the grass is wet as this might scorch the leaves. Question: What other livestock would you recommend keeping on a dairy farm? Answer: Poultry and swine pro duction should accompany farm dairying since skimmilk and whey will be available for feeding both hogs and chickens. A farm with a milking unit of five cows should have at least 100 hens and one good brood sow. The cash return from the cream or milk, poultry and hogs will equal the operating expenses of the average size farm and all returns from so called cash crops will be the pro fit on the farm. o UNCHANGED Demand conditions under which tobacco growers will market their 1939 corp are expected to hold relatively stable as compared with demand factors during the current season, predicts the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Econo mics. o CORN Only about 9 per cent of the American corn crop, usually run ning from 2 1-2 to 3 billion bush els, is used in the industrial field. One-half enters the food market and one-fourth goes back to the farm in the form of feed. Thrills In Goodrich Worlds Fair Exhibit Interest of thousands of visitors to the World’s Fair in New York! City during 1939 will be directed to the exhibit of The B. F. Good . rich Company there, it is believ led by W. B. Weatherly, manager of the Economy Auto Supply Co. located here. “The Goodrich Company will have one of the most interesting and dramatic exhibits at the fair, and will attract thousands of mo torists,’’ Mr. Weatherly declares. “The fair opens on May 1, and during its progress I am prepared to give the motorists here all the 1 information I have on it and routes leading to it. “Jimmy Lynch, nationally known as an auto stunt driver, will feature the exhibit. I believe he will be one of the most spec tacular drawing cards of the whole exposition. “Operating in a miniature rac ing bowl, Lynch will put his mo dern, high-speed automobiles through a series of stunts overj rain-drenched and slippery pave-' ment to show how the new Safety' Silvcrtown tire with the Life-Sav. j er treads resists attempts to skid the car, and prove its safety.” o Hunt Horse Thief I In Studio Mystery “Maybe I’m crazy,” said Frank Maher, sound engineer at the Wal ter Wanger studio as he stepped | out of the sound box in the set'j of “Stagecoach,” the drama of pioneer days, now showing at the Palace Theatre through United Artists release. 1 1 “There were six horses on the coach in the last scene. At least | I heard six of them trotting a cross the set. But something was wrong this time. One is missing, I according to the sound.” Finally John Ecksrt, who is in ; charge of the animals, took a deep 1 breath and explained: “After the 1 !
