Catholics Hold Roanoke Service Manteo, Aug. 12.—Solemn high mass of the Catholic Church was celebrated on Roanoke Island Sunday for the first time in its three and a half centuries of do cumented history, and the ser mon, delivered by the Rt. Rev. Vincent G. Taylor, Abbot of Bel mont, was a ringing challenge to Americans to hold fast to the ideals that brought civilization to these shores. Too ma&y in America, Abbot Taylor declared, have lost sight of the heritage of Roanoke, the stamina and the spirit of many nations, many races and many creeds from which a nation was built to become the citadel of religious and political freedom on the earth. America must be made im pregnable against every possible attack from within and without through any one of our manifold institutions, spiritual, political or economic, he said, and into this sound body politic must be brea thed by us who are proud of our nation and of the privilege of living under its flag, a new spirit, a nejv soul else we shall be num bered with the nations of'the earth which have lost their souls —not as these heroic colonists who trod this bit of earth, who, lost, found themselves, but as the utterly lost. Dispensing with the canopies that ordinarily cover the stage of the Lost Colony theatre for the Sunday morning religious servi ces, the mass this morning was celebrated in full sunlight as storm cloud gathered in the southwest. The canopy that cov ers the amphitheatre was also displaced for the day, and the congregation of more than a thousand sat through the entire mass without shelter from the sky. Celebrant of the mass was the Rev. Arthur J. Racette, rector of St. Ann’s Church in Edenton. as sisted by Father William J. Le page, of Elizabeth City as deacon and the Rev. Frederick Nealon, of Baltimore, as sub-deacon. The master of ceremonies was the Rev. John Brown, of the cathedral in Raleigh. The Rev. Michael Carey of Elizabeth City assisted Theo Cronk, director of the Lost Col ony Choir. For the colorful ceremony of high mass the stage chapel was decorated by Mrs. Bradford Fear ing and Albert Bell, with the full paraphenalia of the church. o George L.

Howard H. Garriss, plant patho logist of the State College Ex tension Service, reports that the wilt has been found this summer in many counties, with the worst new outbreak in Southeastern North Carolina. Granville wilt is caused by a bacterial germ which lives in the soil indefinitely if plants suscep tible to the germ are grown on the land. Since it is not transfer red through the air, Garriss said the only explanation for the widespread occurence of the di sease this year is that it has been brought in by tobacco plants im ported from one area to another, or by soil attached to potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, string beans, peanuts, Jimson Weeds, cockle burs and other plants susceptible to attack by the wilt. He recommends the following control measures, none of which, however, have been proven to be entirely “sure” as a cure or preventive for the disease: Pre vent washing of soil from infect ed to uninfected fields, avoid transportation of tobacco stalks and trash from infected to unin fected fields, avoid transporta tion of soil on farm implements and on the feet of animals and men from infected to uninfected fields, and grow tobacco in in fected fields only in a three to five-year rotation with resistant or immune crops adapted to local conditions. Garriss says that the following plants apparently are immune to Granville wilt: com, sweet po tatoes, cotton, wheat, oats, rye, barley crimson clover, Austrian winter peas, vetch, lespedeza, crotalaria, herds (red top) grass, chab grass, watermelons, canta loupes, and sorghum. o MILK Thirteen 4-H club boys of Al exander county have bought cows and are selling milk in a recently established route, re ports George B.

Bette Davis And Charles Boyer Star In Film Starring Bette Davis and Charles Boyer, “All This And Heaven Too”, Warner Bios, screen version of the world-ap plauded novel by Rachel Field, will have its first local showing Thursday and Friday at the Pala ce theatre. In the supporting cast are Jeffrey Lynn, Barbara O’- Neil, Virginia Weidler, Walter Hampden, Henry Daniell, George Coulouris and many more. Adapted for the screen by Casey Robinson, “All This And Heaven Too” is the bittersweet love story of a little French gov erness, seemingly destined for spinsterhood, who inspires the love of a great nobleman and thus becomes the storm center of a murder scandal that'rocked Paris a century ago. Anatole Livak directed the production. o BAN r Because of poor crop prospects, Argentina has prohibited the ex port of wheat and wheat flour, government officials saying there will be but a slight surplus. REDUCED I Wilson county’s com yield has been reduced considerably by the continued dry weather during the past several weeks, says Assist ant Farm Agent J. A. Marsh. PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO. N. C. Legumes Have Place In Sate’s Pastures Corn is the only crop grown more extensively than pastures in North Carolina. But pastures do not receive near the attention of com, cotton, tobacco, small grains and other crops. R. L. Lovvorn, State College agronomist, says that ‘t‘he ex panded livestock program in the South that everybody is talking about depends on cheap feed, and pasture is the answer to that pro blem.” With few exceptions, no livestock industry has ever per manently survived that did not depend to a large extent on gra zing and hay crops, he says. “We have more tfian a million acres of cleared pasture land in North Carolina,” the agronomist continued, “but a great deal of it is not worthy of the name. Successful pastures must include legumes in the sod. Experiment al results bear this out. “A pure stand of good Dallis grass sod has yielded only 1,600 pounds of dry herbage per acre during the last two years in a test. A similar plant seeded to Dallis grass plus lespedeza pro duced an average yield of 2,900 pounds of forge during the same period. The addition of lespedeza increased the poundage of a car pet grass pasture from 600 to 1,900 pounds, and Bermuda grass from 800 to 2,000 pounds.” Lovvorn says that even more impqrtant than quantity is the quality of legume-grass pastures. “Grasses run very low in cal cium during the summer and fall, and during these seasons the per centage has been doubled by the lespedeza,” he reported. The agronomist advises the use of lespedeza unless the soil is in a good state of fertility, in which case white clover will do good. Lespedeza can be grown any where in the State except on some of the sandhill soils. “But,” he says, “legumes give best results when they are fertilized. Lime and phosphate are the best treat- 1 ments for legumes.” o TURKEYS Although Thanksgiving and Christmas are months away, An son county growers are selling small lots of turkeys on the poul try market, reports Assistant Farm Agent Clarence Earley. EXPORTS Exports from the United Sta tes in June increased more than 48 per cent over the same month in 1939, rising from $236,164,000 to $350,458,000, the jump being caused by movement of war sup plies. SEED* Greene county farmers have or dered 40,000 pounds of Austrian winter peas through the AAA’s grant-of-aid program, enough to plant approximately 1,200 acres this fall. MATTRESSES Approximately 1,200 applica tions have been received from low-income Nash county farm families for mattresses under the new Federal-State cotton surplus disposal program. COTTON A careful check of cotton fields in all sections of Halifax county reveals an excellent crop with practically no boll weevil infes tations, reports Farm Agent W. O. Davis. IMPROVEMENT Increased industrial production for national defense is expected to create a sound improvement in domestic demand for farm pro ducts, reports the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics. HYBRIDS New; high-producing hybrid chickens, bred by methods now commonly precticed in the grow ing of corn hybrids, have been announced by a corn company of Des Moines, lowa. COTTON Some cotton authorities are forecasting a record-breaking home consumption of more than 8,000,000 bales of cotton in the new season which began August 1. TVA The Tennessee Valley Authority has announced that work has been started on the national defense expansions authorized by Con gress to increase the TVA’s in stalled power capacity to 300,000 kilowatts. “Give thy thoughts no tongue, nor any unproportioned thought thy act.’’ —Shakespeare o LAND POSTED SIGNS AT THE TIMES OFFICE o LEGAL NOTICE ADMINISTRATOR’S NOTICE Having qualified as the admin istrator of the estate of Marshall Jones, colored, deceased, late of Person County, N.
