Duke Spends $1,500,000 In Year On New Construction Expenditures And Con tracts Os University Keep Durham Well In Forefront. Duke university has spent or has contracted to spend more than $1,500,000 during the past year for new construction, according to a check on records in the office of the city building and plumbing inspector. This new construction program, only a part of which has been projected, has kept Durham well in the forefront of North Carolina cities in the matter of building activites, say building officials. Although there have been nu merous building projects on the two university campuses during the past year, three have been outstanding. One of these in the new graduate dormitory on the main campus which soon will be ready for occupancy. In arrange ment and architectural design it is considered one of the most beautiful dormitory edifices in the country. The cost is listed at $600,000. Another big project is the ad dition to Duke hospital which is now under construction at a cost of $400,000. This building will provide much-needed clinical fa cilities for the hospital and medi cal school. It is located between the hospital and the nurses’ dor mitory. A third major project is the new indoor stadium which is be ing constructed just north of the men’s gymnasium at a cost of more than $500,000. This will be the largest indoor stadium in the south and will have a floor area larger than that of a regulation football field. It will be used not only for athletic events but for commencement exercises and the like when the weather is incle ment. It will seat 13,000 or more spectators. Since 1935 when the present building program was inaugurat ed the university has expended approximately $30,000,000 on new construction and campus develop ment, according to careful esti-| mates, and building officials said they understood the expansion program is still under way and several more large structures are being planned for the near fu ture. —n ADVERTISE IN THE TIMES FOR RESULTS.

' - ' FARM QUESTIONS ANSWERED Question: How often should I cultivate my tobacco after trans planting to the field? Answer: Beginning about a week or ten days after the plants are set, the tqbacco should be cultivated at intervals of a week| or ten days up to a week before topping. The soil should be thor oughly broken and the middles scattered, care being taken, however, not to disturb the root system in siding. Ip case of a packing rain, the tobacco should be plowed just as soon as soil conditions will allow. This should be done even if the crop had been _ lowed one hour prior to the rain. Question: Can I use skimmilk with grain for finishing broilers? Answer: Yes. Where skimmilk or buttermilk is available, this procedure is very profitable. Soak the cracked corn overnight in either the skimmilk or butter milk and give the broilers all they will eat in two feedings. The feedings should be made in the morning and late in the af ternoon. This feeding should be in addition to a good broiled mash and should be fed for the last ten to fifteen days of the conditioning period. Question: How can I keep in sects out of my garden? Answer: There are two kinds of insects, chewing and sucking, that attack garden crops and there is a different treatment for each kind. The chewing insects are controlled through the use of arsenicals and the sucking in sects by the use of contact insecti cides. Full instructions for the preparation and use of these in secticides are given in Extension Circular No. 122 and copies of this may be had free upon appli cation to the Agricultural Editor at State College. o RAPID GAINS The excellent results which J. A. Walker, Duplin County farmer, experienced with six fast-grow ing pigs were attributed to clean grounds and a balanced ration. PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO. N.

Just how Charlie sustained the discolored orb still is a mystery, 1 although there are widespread rumers that W. C. Fields, his av-j owed enemy, had something to do with it.
