Aldermen
Legislative BUI Reduces Number Of
Trustees. One Woman
Named.
At a recent meeting of the
city aldermen a new board of
trustees for the Shelby Public
Hospital was named in accord
ance with a bill recently passed
in the legislature.
Heretofore the board has been
made up of 15 trustees but as It was
always hard to get such a large
number together for a meeting the
legislative action was taken to re
duce the board to seven.
When the hospital was establish
ed a board of trustees was appoint
ed by the aldermen with the nrovis
ion that thereafter they should be
elected. In the years that have
elapsed no formal election has ever
been held, the original board re
taining control under the genera!
law of the first appointment This
revision was also changed by the
new hospital bill which provides
that hereafter the seven trustees
shall be named by the aldermen.
1, 3, 7 Tears.
By the new arrangement tfro trus
tees will serve one year terms, two
will serve two year terms and three
will serve as trustees for three years.
The new trustees named recently
by the aldermen follow :
For one year—S. S. Royster and
O. M. Mull,
For two years—A. W. McMurry
and O. C. Dixon,
For three years—John Schenck.
Jr, Mrs. W. B. Nix and Clyde R.
Hoey.
No meeting of the new trustees
has been held since they were ap
pointed, but it is presumed that
Clyde R. Hoey, chairman of the
original boprd, will remain as chair
man until tlie new trustees hold a
meeting for formal organization. j

Carolina Farmers To Raise More !
Food And Feed Stuff This Year
More Acreage For Corn. Barley In
erea*.: Biggest Of
All.
Raleigh. April 13.—Further head
way of the live-at-home program in
North Carolina is indicated for
1931 by the intentions to plant re
ports received at State college this
week and analyzed by C, A. Shef
field, assistant extension director.
According to Mr. Sheffield, farm
ers of the state will expand acreage
planted to all mujor food and feed
crops. The increase will range from
a 7 percent increase hi corn acreage
to a 40 per cent increase In barley
planted. Only a normal acreage 'f
491,000 acres was planted to wheat
’ast fall for harvest this spring.
The acreage to barley shows the
greatest gain for the year. Mr. Shef
field says this crop has increased 50
per cent In the last two rears. It Is
a good bstitute for com, yields
well on poor soils and is hardy to
the effects of winter freezes. Live
stock farmers especially are steadily
increasing their annual acreage to
the crop.
In analyzing the intentions to
plant reports, Mr. Sheffield finds
that North Carolina grew 2,258,000
acres of com in 1929. This was in
creased to 2,530,000 acres last year
and will be further increased to 2,
707,000 acres this year, In other;
words, the corn acreaugr indreast j
during the past two years of tht (
live-at-home campaign will amount,
to 19.8 pef cent. The whtat acreage!
increase over Is year, when the
harvest over last year, when the
harvest was small, will be 35 per
