FARM QUESTIONS ANSWERED Question: Is sheep raising pro fitable in North Carolina? Answer: Yes. Research work by scientists of the North Caro lina Experiment Station indi cate that a small farm flock of sheep will pay excellent returns throughout most of North Caro lina. Purebred Hampshire rams Used on native ewes produce an excellent cross bred lambs of high quality and with good weight of body and wool. Sheep keep weeds under control, pro duce mutton for home use and supply an income from wool and lambs. Question: Is grass silage a prac tical feed in this state? Answer: Apparently so because many good farmers have now turned to this method of provid ing succulent feed for their cat tle during summer. It is rather hard to cure for hay the cereal and legume crops planted in the fall and harvested in the spring. Many times it rains continuously when the hay should be cut and the cr op thus matures to the point where it is nothing much but stems and woody tissue. If the crop is cut and rained upon, cur ing is difficut and a low quality, moldy hay is the result. On the other hand, this material can be Cut and stored in the silo at any time, preserved with molasses and the cattk are assured of an excellent feed. There is no waste. Question: What results, if any, are coming from this Conserva tion program .of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration? Answer: The program seems to be bearing fruit. At least over six million farmers in the Unit ed States se-.m to think so be cause that many persons are car rying out improved practices on about 50 million acres of farm ~~~ ’ Pm It Mm** to Polo —Millions of polo shirts to be sold thin unm. imer will never see a pok) match— ibnt what does that matter? The polo shirt has plenty of good rea isons for its existence even if it should never know the thrill of a rsaddle. Between ourselves, we rank 'it about the most versatile gar ment in the modern man's ward robe. Advance news from stores in dicates that polos will be a pop ular sport item this season. Early ■models we have seen are certain fly good to look at. Ar.d they are ■ made up in fabrics that have the '\.eur as well as the air! ** * * [L ame it on London!—They say ■ men’s wear styles are gradually themselves from tue '.London influence. No doubt . . . And probably the present case ’is the exception that proves the ?rule. The new tailored sweaters made of Crown Tested spun rayon ihave a sort of raglan air, a la ■ Bond Street, and they are winning popularity on several points: first, [the raglan' tailoring gives the shoul ders a firmer look and hold and {gives the wearer a fine athletic set up ... Indeed they impart a pleas ing effect all around. They may {be voted a definite step forward. tHitherto sweaters have been hope lessly slouchy and informal. No inan Ukes to look bedraggled about Modern War Equipment Demonstrated at M. I. T. m Mm- j(cK- Modern war equipment was placed on exhibition recently when the Massachnsetts Institute ot Technol ogy held its annual alumni day at Cambridge, Mass. A three-inch mobile anti-aircraft gun claims the atten tion of this distinguished group. Seated: Lonis Johnson, assistant secretary of war. Standing, left to right: Gerald Swope, General Electric official and member of the M. I. T. corporation; Bear Admiral Harold Stark, U. S. navy, and Earl T. Compton, president of M. I. T. land. These farmers am adjusting their practices to include increas- - ed acreages of grasses and le gumes, applications of limestone and phosphate to make gcod pas 'ure and meadow crops, planting forest trees, constructing ponds and reservoirs and protecting the soil from erosion by wind and water. They are terracing, con tour farming, strip cropping and filling gullies. All of this must result in a better soil for these who come after us. VAST SCANDEL LOOMS Baton Rouge. La.—Announcing that a loss of "several hundred thousand dollars” had been dis covered in the affairs of the Louisiana State University, Gov. Richard W. Leche has withdrawn his resignation, avowedly made for the purpose of elevating Lieut. Gov. Earl Long, brother of the late Huey P. Long, to the Executive Mansion. The latter was the sponsor of the State University, and State police have H the shoulders. This new sweater shows him at his best. ... t Syncopation in Belts The belt styles for summer 1939 are nothing if not varied. Reflecting the peppy note in men’s wear generally, they have taken on increased fashion mportance. The new belts come In a wide range of colors; they are syncopated and collegiate in mood, but of course, with adequate choice for more conservative tastes. The fabric belts that stretch are one of the season’s highlights. The new styles have two main advantages: sprightlier appearance and increas-. ed comfort. ' * ... The slide fastener vogue—Slide fas teners, having swept their way through the sweater field, now are' gaining popularity as a closure for, suit pockets. Stores show these fas teners in a wide range of boys’ suits. It seems that the young idea, masculine, has given slide fasten ers his royal approval. For his poc kets, he finds them excellent—they keep the marbles, tops, etc, safely Intact. PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO, X.
