"Diz” To Try Again
or Diz Dean will hit the baseball comeback trail again
next year.
The pitcher whose career has fluctuated between ma
jors and minors, said he is going to try out once more and
if he does not connect he’ll continue in radio.
Dizzy stopped over on the way to his broadcasting job
in St. Louis after working three innings for Sioux Falls. S.
D„ Sunday night. Diz admitted he didn’t look so hot in the
class D circuit.
He allowed one hit and struck out one, but committed
two of four Sioux Falls errors and left the game tied 3-3.
He went hitless twice at bat. Sioux Falls defeated Pueblo
of the Western League, 7-4.
Our, personal opinion is that Dean is through playing
ball. He may coach or he may write about it, but we do not
believe that he will be much of a player again.
On the other hand if he wants to try, it will be well
enough for him to do it—you can never blame a man for
trying.
Good Teacher
The Duke University coaching School w'ill feature
three men this summer who are outstanding in football. J
Ace Parke, George McAfee and Wallace Wade. Now all of
these boys know something about football and those who
attend the school should get a few pointers that will heipj
The Duke school has always been very successful and
it looks like it is going to have another good season.
At Last
Well boys, not only are the greens good on the local
golf course, but since the rains came the fairways are:
good. Grass is growing everywhere and the entire course*

Up Os Wheat Facts
\
State AAA Committeeman-
I farmer W. Herbert White of
| Caswell county this week issued
three up-to-date statements bear
ing upon the wheat situation in!
'North Carclina:
1. Farmers who want to avoid
I p.aytment of penalty on excess
I wheat by “delivering it to the
secretary of agriculture” may
now deliver the actual excess
1 wheat to the county AAA com
mittee—in areas where it is not.
practicable to deliver it to grain j
j elevators or warehouses and get
| receipts. The wheat will not ac- j
I tually be delivered to the coun- 1
ity AAA office, but will be de-
I livered at such time and to such
t place as the county ommittee
j may designate. The county com- 1
mittee will be charged with di
verting the penalty wheat into
' relief channels. !
2. August 30 is the final date
lon which farmers may sign up
for winter wheat insurance on
! this year’s crop (yet to be plant- j
led.) That gives farmers in this
1 state nearly seven weeks ir.
which to work out their wheat
insurance plans and make appli
cation for government prctec- 1
t'cn.
3. Government-approved stor-j
age houses for grain may now
be built of lumber. Formerly on-j
!y steel bins were approved by
the U. S. Department of Agri
culture for loan storage of grains. !
This change in agricultural policy
, was cited as “extremely impor-J
tant” since steel bins will not be,
0
available now in quantities form-|
erly in d e m an,
more steel is needed for defense,
building.
! Just add lime and phosphate
to get rid. of broom sage in pas
! tures, advises R. H. Crouse, Yan
cey county farm agent of the
N. C. Extension Service.
