Two Good Golfers
John Morris and Bill Harris 111 are slated to meet
in a golf match at the Country Club soon. It should be
a good match and it is impossible to tell who will win.
Last year these two boys were in the finals of the
gold tournament and Billy finally won out. They shot
mighty good golf and can be counted on again to do 0. K.
' When they meet you can see some good golf if you
want to follow them around.
A crowd will not so don’t hesitate to
go out and look on.

Coach W. W. Wade
William Wallace Wade, headmaster of the Duke Un
iversity football school, stood Saturday at the zenith of
a great coaching career—a career that is certain to give
him a place alongside immortals of the great gridiron
ame.
When the Duke Blue Devils took the field for their
Southern Conference battle with Maryland’s Terrapins
at Baltimore's huge municipal stadium Saturday, the
Old Master had good cause to reflect on that career. For
Maryland was the 100th opponent to face his Big Blue
teams since first he directed Duke’s athletic destinies in
1931.
The Wade decade has been a glorious one at Duke.
The hard, cold facts sing of that glory. They tell a story
of 78 well-earned victories—only 18 defeats and three
ties. They back up the tactical genius that is Wallace
Wade.
Five times during that decade, the Southern Con
ference championship has been bestowed upon the Blue
Devils. And never once has there been a losing season.
Wade's first team —in 1931—won five games, lost three
and tied two. But after that, Duke teams triumphed at
least seven times in each campaign.
Wade has produced some great teams since he first
accepted the responsibilities of head coach at Fitzgerald-
Clarke in 1919. He had an undefeated outfit at that
school one year later—and never lost a game at Vand
erbilt during his two years there.
At Alabama, where he put over four Southern Con
ference and three national champions, his Rose Bowl
teams of 1925, 1926 and 1930 were his best.
Wade is now and has been a great coach. He knows
football and more than that he can teach it. His players
respect him and try to do what he wants them to do.
We think that North Carolina and the South is for
tunate in being able to have a great coach like Wade in
its midst.

DUKE TO REPEAT

Course On Chemistry Os
Explosives Again To Be
Given; Opens Oct. 20
I Durham, Oct, 6.—So successful
were the courses in chemistry cf
explosives, conducted last Sum
mer, Duke University will repeat
the nine-weeks course, beginning
on October 20.
Nearly all of 67 who took the
national defense training course
last Summer have secured jobs.
Most of them are in the explos
ives industriy as production su
pervisors, chemists, and govern
ment inspectors. There still is a
need of trained personnel in the
field.
The course will consist of 38
hours cf lecture and recitations
and 112 hours of laboratory work.
Part of the course deals with the
chemistry of explosive com
pounds and mixtures, and with
various methods of testing ex
plosives by chemical and physi
cal means Laboratory work in
cludes the making and process-’
ing of TNT and other explosives, 1
and testing them by methods
used in arsenals and powder fac-'
tones.
Dr. Marcus Hobbs, of the
Duke Chemistry Department,
who took special training in or
der to conduct the course, again
w ill be in charge.

Farm Notes
•
North Carolina farmers have
; been given a very definite share
,in the “Food for Freedom” cam
! paign. The State has been asked
|to increase, in 1942, its milk pro
duction by 58,000,000 lbs. and its
beef by 10,164,000 lbs. We must
have good pastures to do this
job. Begin now to prepare your
pasture for next year.
The ideal seed bed for pastures
jis one that is thoroughly pulxer
■ ized to a depth of three inches,
and undisturbed below th a t
depth. If plowing is necessary,
that be done at least six
to eight weeks before sowing the
seed. Lands that have been in
row crops can be prepared by
discing and harrowing, but land
that has been lying idle may
have to be plowed shallow be
fore discing. Freshly cleared land
may be ready by burning the
brush and harrowing with a disc
or an old-fashioned A-shaped
harrow. To renew an old pasture,
cut down weeds aand shrubbery,
and scratch the soil to a depth
of 2 to 3 inches. This may be
done with a heavy spike-toorh
'harrow, or with a disc set almost
1 sttraight, so as not to destroy
the old sod.
Put us much manure on trie
.‘and as possible. An application
200 to 400 lbs. per acie of
2-10-4 fertilizer, or of 4-12-4 is
desirable. In addition to this,
practically all the pasture land
in Person County needs 2.003 lbs.
cf lime per acre and also a 'i'i
eral application of 13C ; -id
phosphate or superphosphate, Ai!
< !d pastures should be top-dh s
ed about March 1.
F.r the average pasture land
in Person County, the following
ii ixtun- is recommended:
Kumu.-ky blue grass, 4 lbs,".
R.dtnp (He;dsgrassj, 5 lb
On. hard grass. 8 lbs.
Dal r s crass. 4 lbs.
• V/klfc. rover, 5 lbs.
1..; pedt-z.i, 10 lbs.
D not include Kentucky blue
g-u s i i ttte mixture unless lime
: as been used.
lUEJ V FARM REMINDERS
1; Complete earning soil-build
ing i nils before October 31st,
bve ; ty farmer who is not; sure
that he has completed all the
units necessary should check the
record of hisharm in the county
AAA office, on the second floor
;of the Court House," and find out
i exactly how many units are
necessary. Notices have been
mailed to every farm operator
stating how many units are nec
essary, but in some cases these
notices have been misplaced. The
office force will be glad to give
| this information to any operator
who asks about his farm. Re
-1 member, the 1941 adjustme.it
payments are made on a percer.t
--! age basis, in proportion to the
j soil-building units earned.
I 2. Distribute all limestone be
'fore October 31.
| 3. Make depisit with the Treas
urer of the Conservation Associ-
ation, on the second floor of the
Court House, if you wish to have
your wheat acreage measured be
fore it is planted. A deposit of
15 cents per acre of wheat to
he planted is required before a
supervisor can do premeasure
ment work.
4. Just as soon as it rains, pre
pare for seeding barley, oats and
wheat. The farmers of North
Carolina are requested to sow
twice as much barley as was
seeded in the fall of 1940. This
crop grows well in Person Coun
tty. Make your plans now to get
some in before November 1. if
possible. Oats may be seeded un
til October 25 in this section.
5. Most of the tobacco stalks,
in tha county have been cut.
Those that are standing are
breeding places for horn-worms,
flea-beetles and various other
enemies of next year’s crop. Cut
them down and turn them under
iust as soon as possible.
6. Fill in any broken terrace
lines.
7. Seed ryegrass in any ter
race outlets that are washing out.
8. Set out cabbage plants as
soon as there is a season.
9. Dig sweet potatoes before
frost.
10. Clean and disinfect poultry
houses and yards. Where pos
sible, prepare to keep birds in
laying houses all winter. Each
grown bird requires a minimum
of 3 1-2 sq. ft. of floor spaae.
