Buyers Os Food j Now Protected By State Law Raleigh, April 25—Housewives and other citizens of North Caro lina can now buy their foods “with greater assurance cf pur ity” as a result of the “rigid en forcement of the pure food laws and constant crusade against im proper labeling or misbranding,” Commissioner of Agriculture W. Kerr Scott reports. “When you call for your ham burger today, you can rest as sured that it will be free from the injurious sulfites and other pres ervatives that were so prevalent a few years ago,” Scott declared. | “In fact, the virtual elimination of sulfites from meats has not only been a boon to the consum- j er but has resulted in the re-j moval of inferior meats from the market and created a demand for quality products.” Commissioner Scott said that “the State Department of Agri culture has not paraded its pro gram of consumer protection, but, rather has worked quietly and effectively in policing the food industry”, adding ‘“this service; j has not only saved the purchaser from financial losses, but has; given equal protection to the hon-1 est manufacturer and merchant.” I “Even your degs receive pro tection under the regulatory and inspection laws enforced by the Department of Agriculture. “To- 1 day standards for dog food sold have been adopted and ourj chemists are cn the job to check on ingredients that may be de clared to be injurious to the ani-; mal. “North Carolina’s fertilizer and feed laws have been revised to meet the requirements of a more progressive agricultural pro gram. These changes and the strict enforcement of these laws have saved farmers from infer ior products and at the same time created a greater appreciation of quality goods.” Palace Theatre ADVANCE PROGRAM From Wednesday, April 24 thru Saturday, April 27ih.

You can step aboard a railroad train in your home town —and put as much as nine thousand miles ol America behind you before you return —all lor the price ol S9O, il you ride in comfortable air conditioned day coaches —or $135.00 (plus $45 lor one or two persons in a lower berth) —if you travel in spacious Pullmans. You can take sixty days to do it—go by any estab lished route —stop off wherever you wish. See with your own eyes the grandeur of this land you live in—there's no other nation like it in the world. So think ol the things you'd like to see—the New York World's Fair—the Golden Gate exposition— the multicolored canyons carved by western rivers and the man-made canyons ol Manhattan—elm shaded villages ol New England and sun-drenched pueblos of the southwest—the unspoiled natural wonders of the great National Parks and the sophis tication of storied cities you've read about—the NORFOLK AND WESTERN RAILWAY Plat/ Safe-Travel It/Tram CAREFUL CHOPPING INCREASES YIEDS Not Enough Plants Left By Many Cotton Farmers, Ag ronomist Says. Raleigh, April 24 Too many cotton growers make the mistake each year of net leaving enough plants when chopping their cot ton, says Paul H. Kime, agrono mist of the Experiment Station at N. C. State college. This practice often results in reduced yields. Cotton left thick in the new will put on more bolls early in the season and will be better able to produce higher yields under boll weevil condi tions, an important factor in lint production. Kime recommended that on the heavier soils of the Coastal Plain area hills should be spaced 10 to 12 inches apart in the row, leav ing two to three plants in the hill when possible. This will mean an average of approximately one and one-half plants per foot or 18,000 to 20,000 plants to the acre. On the lighter soils of the Coast al Plain section and in the Pied mont, the State College cotton ex pert said a closer spacing of the plants is probably advisable. Cotton should be chopped when : the weather is warm the second set of leaves is about three-quar- 9,000 Miles for S9O ters grown., Kime explained that if the cot ton is chopped much earlier, some of the remaining plants are like ly to die, leaving a poor stand. If the chopping is delayed too long, the plants will become tall and slender and will tend to fall down badly when chopped. shores oi the Atlantic. Pacific, the Gull oi Mexico, and those inland seas, the Great Lakes—the land oi Dixie and the great Northwest—the towering Rockies and the iorest-clad ranges of the East— landmarks hallowed in your nation's history—and landmarks oi a civilization so old it has been forgotten. All these and more can be included in a vacation which starts the moment you step aboard a train. It's the kind oi vacation you've always dreamed oi taking—and now the American railroads are ready to make it come true. And in addition to the fascinating places you wiU see, you'U find new interest and luxury in today's trains, with their modem roomy coach and Pullman equipment—smart styling—ever faster schedules— and air-conditioned comfort and cleanliness. Better talk it over with your local ticket agent now.
