Dixie Actress Yields, In Role Characer actress Elizabeth Pat terson, member of the United Daughters of the Cnofederacy, who once turned down a princi pal role in “The Copperhead,” with Lionel Barrymore, because it would’ have shown her mold ing bullets for Northern soldiers, was anxious about how her Ten nessee family was going to react to her acceptance of the role of Aunt Lily Lou in Paramount’s “Kiss the Boys Goodbye, ’ the comedy with music based on the roadway laugh hit, opening at the Palace Theatre Thursday. The picture is all comedy, but because Miss Patterson promised to play her role straight as a daughter of the Old South, her relatives relented, but a small committee came to Hollywood to see that there was no lampoonery. o Music Given Place Jn Western One feature often overlooked in fast-moving films of gun-rid ing action is music. there— bpt so many things are happen ing few people can remember any of the songs they heard. But Producer Harry Sherman has changed this. In his latest Paramount picture, “The Parson of Panamint,” which opens to day at the Dolly Madison Theatre, five melodic tunes are given their own spotlight. Representing the best of the popular lyrics of fifty years ago, the songs include “The "Merry-Go-Round,” “My Sweet heart's The Man In The Moon,” “It’s In The Cards,” “No Ring On Her Finger,” and the old favorite, “Rock of Ages.” Ellen Drew and the Guardsmen do an excellent job singing these songs. o- Consumption of lumber in the first six months of 1941 is esti mated at 15,736,000,000 feet, or 18 per cent above the amount used in the first half of 1940.

Movement Launched For Winter Greens Bountiful supplies of winter vegetables growing in the garden of every North Carolina farm family is the objective of a new campaign launched by the State Agricultural Workers Council, ac cording to John W. Goodman, as sistant director of the N. C. State College Exension Service. Blessed with a climate that makes it pissible to grow vege tables the year around in most sections, North Carolina could keep its people supplied with these diet essentials during the fall and winter. H. R. Niswonger, extension horticulturist, has prepared for distribution to every farm fam ily information which lists vege tables suitable for winter gard ens, best varieties, planting dates, amounts of seed needed, maturity dates, and seed cost. In his guide, the horticulturist suggests rape and kale for all sections of the State; mustard and tendergreens for the Eastern and Piedmont sections; collard plants, spinach, and onion sets for the Eastern and Lower Pied mont areas; and beets and car rots for the Tidewater and warm er parts Os the Coastal Plain. Goodman explained that the winter vegetable campaign is be ing conducted in response to a re quest from M. L, Wilson, direc tor of extension for the U. S. De partment of Agriculture. The tremendous campaign in this State will be conducted by workers of the following agri cultural and welfare agencies: Farm Security Administration, AAA, Soil Conservation Service, PA, Bureau of Agricultural Eco nimics, State Vocational Educa tion Department, and the Exten sion Service. o FHENOTHIAZINE Glen Kilby of Sturgills, Ashe County, says phenothiazine, which he used the first time this year, has been more satisfactory than any material he has ever used for treating stomach worms in sheep.

Wheat Insuranct: For the 1942 crop wheat in surance is available to any wheat farmer in the state, whether on £ an allotment farm or a non-aliot- c ment farm. Any person who has i or expects to have an interest as t landlord, owner, tenant, or share- i cropper in the wheat crop on cr.e or more farms located in a coun ty may appiy for insurance to ‘ cover such interest therein. The application for insurance s is against loss in yield of wheat s due to drought, flood, hail, wind, 5 frost, winterkill, lightning, lire, tornado, storm, insect infestation, ( animal pests, plant diseases, ex- , cess or deficient moisture, incur- sions of animals, and against loss , in yield due to other unavoidable ’ causes. Wheat insurance does not cover damage caused by ovet pasturage, by neglect or malfeas- 1 ance of the insured or any per son connected with the farm, or by theft, or by overplanting, use of defective or unadapted seed, 1 failure to properly prepare the 1 land for seed, or properly to seed harvest, thresh, or care for the insured crop. Applications For Wheat Insurance Must Be Filed By August 30,1941. The premium rate per acre will be approximately one-half bush el of wheat. The amount of prem ium will be deducted from pay ments earned on the 1942 crop. No cash is required when mak ing application for insurance. o State College Answers Timely Farm Questions QUESTION: When is the best time to use ground limestone? ANSWER: For best results, limestone should be applied to; the soil from three months to a| year before legumes are planted, says E. C. Blair, Extension agron omist at State College. Lime should be spread after the land is plowed in order that it may become well mixed with the top . soil. QUESTION: In what propor tions shoud winter legumes be seeded? ANSWER: Legumes, which may i be seeded alone as well as among growing crops such as corn and ■ tobacco during the latter part of August, should be planted ns fol lows, says Earl Mealham, Exten sion soil conservationist at State : College: crimson clover (in hull), 30 pounds to the acre; vetch, 20 pounds; Austrian winter peas 30 pounds, and cleaned crimson clover, 25 pounds. 5 QUESTION: What-are the AAA loan rates on 1941 cotton? ’ ANSWER: The average net ’ weight loan rate on 7-Bths-inch middling cotton will be 14.62 cents a pound, based upon pari ty price of 16.49 cents for August 1, say 4 E. Y. Floyd, state AAA officer at State College. The av erage net weight loan for 15-16- inch cotton will be 14.82 cents a I pound, Mr. Floyd adds. Air Support Chief ■h JR t Col. Wm. E. Lynd, appointed chief 1 of the air support command, former- r ly air officer of general headquar- ( ters in the war department. There . are now five air support commands. c Ruffner Suggests * Turnips As Winter ] Feed For Cows j i < The immediate planting of tur r.ips to help supply feed for North Carolina cows is being ( urged by R. H. Ruffiner, head of | the Animal Industry Department . of N. C. State College. < Actually, he pointed out,, the ! seed should be sown before the 1 end of this week if the farmer < is to get highest yields. Sown ai- 1 ter September 1, turnips fail to 1 make nearly as good yields. The successful production of . this vegetable requires good land j in the best of condition. If pos- 1 sible, all barnyard manure avail- i spread on the land before the seed are sown. In supplying the State College dairy herd with turnips, Ruffiner said more than 400 bushels v/ere harvested from one acre of land Seed were purchased for 40 cents a pound and sowed broadcast ov er the land. Three pounds to the acre were used. Experiments have shown that the Purple Top variety produces best yields. The State College man also said that 15 pounds of crimson clover seed per acre have been sowed with the turn ips. s However, he went on, the krow er may choose any kind of grass or clover he desires to sow with * the turnips. He stressed likewise that turnips will not interfere with the stand of clover or grass. In feeding the turnips, Ruffner suggested that they be put in a box and cut up. This may be done easily hrough the use of a shovel, he pointed out. , “It is of utmost importance that the turnips be seeded at once,” the dairyman re-empha sized, “or good yields will not he forthcoming.” o LESPEDEZA A seven-acre field which L. H. Ray, unit demonstration farmer of the Burnsville township in j Yancey County, sowed to sericea lespedeza four years ago has been a major source of income since. f \ IT’S EASY TO GET ' GOODYEAR TIRES ON OUR i "BUY NOW” l EASY-PAY TERMS J ; j ALL-AMERICAN \ ; j TIRE AS LOW AS { | 50 WEEK J | (Includes smalt carrying charge) | Easy Pay Tire Store ROXBORO HOTEL BLDG. a Roxboro, N.
