day season. Christmas the time of year
when you long to Rive happiiuss to
those for whom you care. Too much
novelty in a Christ inns gift nay make

than anything that you plight: give—

LETTER WITH 44 WORDS
CARVED IN NEEDLE EYE
Washington, Dec. 16.—A forty-four
word letter, engraved in the eye of
a needle, has been received by the
Smithsonian institute. The microscop
ic missive, which was sent to the in
stitution for display before the an
nual meeting of the board of regents,
is so small it has to be magnified 88
times before it can be read. It meas
ures exactly one 11-250th of a square
inch. The text of the letter follows:
“This is a crude, hurriedly prepar
ed large sample of micro-engraving.
I trust it will contain a moment of in
terest to the regents and regret that
time prevents preparing an exhibition
more worthy of inspection. Believe me
to be,
“Yours cordially,
“ALFRED McEWEN.”
The.supply of lespedeza seed is
short in Union county this year be

I TORN 3IHTKING HELPS
FOLKS GET ACQUAINTED
--
Raleigh, Dec. 1 5.—Combining n corn
j shucking and a dairy meeting into a
: get-ncpuainted party was the experi
i cnee of farm ngept W. O. Yeager of
j Rowan county recently.
The corn shucking was held on the
I farm of E. D. Seckler of Patterson
I community and all the farmers and
j their wives in that community had
■ come to help in the work. The farmers
| came to husk and the women came to
| prepare the big meal which is always
j a part of any real Tarheel corn shuck*
i ing.
There was also a dairy meeting
scheduled for the same community
| i hat night, the arrangements for
jvvhieh had been left, entirely in the
'l ands of local committee. About time
for the meeting, the agent drove out
; to the neighborhood and was told that
i the dairy meeting would be held in
i < onnection with the corn shucking.
I This resulted in Mr. Yeager husking
; corn as a side partner to *)out a doz
jen men and discussing with them the
many phases of farm work in gener
al "
After husking all the corn and eat
j ing the kind of dinner that this work
j calls for, the men gathered about the
! fireplace and the dairy meeting was
j held. “In this informal way,” says Mr.
i Yeager “we were sure to ‘put across’
the idea much more effectively than if
the meeting had been held in the
school house as intended.”
The result of the whole meeting,
according to Mr. Yeager, was to get
j the farm agent better acquainted with
| the Patterson community and perhaps
'the Patterson community folks got to
know the agent a little better. “Any
way,” said Mr. Yeager, “the satisfac
tion over the outcome of the meeting
seemed to be mutual.”
