How About Basketball?
It has been suggested that several basketball teams
be organized in and around Roxboro this winter and
that a league be formed right in this county. The teams
could play one or two games each per week and then a
select team could be made up to play teams from other
towns.
The idea sounds good to us and after such a suc
cessful softball season it might be that we could have
a good basketball season.
One thing in the way is a place to play all of these
games, but we have an idea that we could get the high
school gym once a week and on this night play about
three games, starting the first one at seven o’clock.
A local basketball league would be a nice thing
and then it would be good to have a Roxboro team play
teams in other cities.
Bob Whitten says that this community could or
ganize a good team and that we could get plenty of
games. If you are interested in this idea you might
see Bob and talk it over with him—then call a meet
ing—soon. It’s time to start practice.

Good Game
There is no reason should not be a good
football game at Wake Saturday afternoon.
Wake is all set to take victory from Carolina
and Carolina will be all set to it that this victory
does not come to Wake.
Carolina took a bad licking last week and the boys
on the Hill have had about all they want in the way of
defeat. They have blood in their eyes and they mean
business—and so—as anyone can plainly see—there
will be a great game Saturday.
Carolina To
Meet Up With
Wake Saturday
Wake Forest, Oct. 22. The
Deacons of Wake Forest are on
the spot, and what a spot!
Their important game with
North Carolina University is
coming up this Saturday to be
staged here in Groves Stadium
before the Deacon's homecoming
crowd, and whatever chances the
Wake Forest boys may have had
of slipping up on the Tar Heels
are mighty weak. Why? Because
the Carolina boys have lost a
couple games in the past two
weeks, and they’ll be out. for
blood in their .next encounter
there'll be no slip in the Heels’

next game.
It’s quite an uncommon occur
rance for a Tar .Heel eleven to
lose two games in a row. And
above all, to drop a game by a
one-sided score is something that
hasn't happened to a North Ca
rolina team in a long time. And
when a good ball club does this.
v 1
and the Heels have a good club, :
they're certain to bound back J
with the fury of a cornered wild
cat.
To make the situation worse for i
tlie Deacons, the Tar Heels will
be remembering that 12-0 defeat
pasted on them over at Chapel 1
Hill last fall by Wake Forest.
The home boys that day were
supposed to wipe up the field
with the Baptists, but it turned
out just the opposite.
Thus it can be seen at a glance
that Wake Forest is in a tough
spot this week. The Deacons
haven't lost but one game and
it's even possible that they'll oc
cupy the undesirable favorites’
position. From a psychological
viewpoint, coaches and players
don't like the favored role. Often
times this leads to a letdown,
when neither the players nor
coaches may realize it.
However, this will be one year
when Wake Forest will enter the
ball game with the Tar Heels on
an equal basis. Whether or not
the Deacons will be able to win
is another question, but the mere
fact that the defeatist attitude
wi.ll be missing from the Deacon
campus this season, for next Sat
urday's battle, may somewhat
offset the disadvantages of being
placed in the spot the present
circumstances have forced upon
the Deacons.

Farm Prices Climb
Toward 1920 Level
Higher consumer incomes, gov
ernment price support, and re
duced competition from abroad
may create for American farm
ers in 1942 a total income ap
proaching 13 billion debars,
greatest since the lush days of
1920.
Quoting latest estimate releas
ed by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, Dr. I O. Schaub. di
rector of the N. C. State College
Extension Service, said the de
mand for farm products in 1942
'will be “evuti better'” than in
1941.
Increased cash returns were
forecast largely on the basis of
higher lavcrage prides received
in 1942 than in 1941, although a
moderate increase in production,
particularly livestock and live
stock products, will contribute.
Cost of farm production are
expected to rise substantially
next year. Dr. Schaub said, but
not enougli to offset the increase
in price received by farmers. For
the year 1942, the ratio of prices
received to prices paid should be
about at parity.
In its latest outlook report, the
U. S Department of Agriculture
pointed out that farm prices this
year will average nearly 25 per
cent over 19-10, and that gain of
about the same proportions is in
dicated for 1942 over 1941.
If contemplated goals are met,
there will be a sharp increase
in the production of livestock
products. This will more than off
set a decline of nearly 10 per
cent in the output of crops.
Forest is anticipated for next
Saturday. Last year’s Wake Fcr
est-Duke battle played here in
•Groves Stadium drew over 20,000
[ fans and the coming engagement
w ith the Tar Heels will rank
dose to the figure in attendance.

SGS Offers Cash
For Kudzu Seed
The SCS is sending out an
SOS to North Carolina farmers.
Earl Meacham, Extension soil
conservationist of N. C. State
College, says the Soil Conserva
tion Service is making an urgent
plea for North Carolina farmers
to harvest every ounce of kudzu
seed that can be located this fall.
The SCS has announced that
it will pay market price for all
the seed it can get. At the pres
ent time, this runs about one
dollar a pound for cleaned seed,
and 25 cents a pound for seed in
the pod. Approximately five
pounds of dried pods are requir
ed to make one pound of clean
ed seed.
Until this year, the United
States had depended on Japan,
the home of kudzu for its seed
supply. Now it appears that little
if any will be imported from that
country this year, which means
that American agriculture again
will have to fall back on its own
resources.
Farmers and others knowing of
a promising site where the ku
dzu is more than three or four
years old are urged to inspect it
carefully, Meacham said. If it has
a good crop of seed pods, the
work unit technician of the Soil
Conservation Service in that dis
trict may be notified. Or the
finder may write directly to the
Service in Spartanburg, S. C.
The most promising places for
locating a good seed crop, Mea
cham'explained, seem to be large
gullies cohered with kudzu, or
fence rows, vacant lots, porches,
and old home sites. Kudzu usual
ly produces more seed when it
climbs over bushes, trees, fen
ces, or trellises. Pods should not
be picked until frost.
