Framed In it, stood Connie Allenbury In a fetch ing tailored negligee. "Hello, Dad! Surprised?" Bill's eyes gleamed as she kissed her father, his mind feverishly at work laying out a plan to com promise her. "I certainly dldnt expect to aee you here," said her father. "I thought rd lust dash up and see that the place was in order." She turned to BUI, polite but aloof.

Bo saw a fish which looked like a whale to his distorted 1 vision. Madly bo plunged after the rod, the book forgotten.

Well, good night, Chand 'tor. See you in the morning:" "Is there a telephone oa this I floor?" - asked Bui. .f I forgot to leave an important message with 'I sny man.. "Its down stairs la the small room btt the living room. Til show you." BUI looked at his watch, "On second thought, it can wait until morning. He's probably not there '; now anyhow." But Chandler was up slightly be fore five the next morning and aneaked down to the den and put in a call for Warren Haggerty and ' told him Connie was at the lodge. "Great" said Haggerty. "Well ar rive at midnight, right on the dot ' Tomorrow every paper In town will JaeadUne that girl in a suit for ali enations!" BiU heard footsteps, and, alarmed, bung up quickly, and entered the main room. Mr. Allenbury did not appear supprised at seeing him. "Hello! Couldn't wait untU you were called, eh? Same hero.

It was a swift- flowing mountain stream to which Mr. Allenbury took hit. guest and his daughter. Bill started at once to wade into the stream as though ha couldn't wait Allenbury and Connie remained on the bank while he was collecting bis rods and reels. 'v.i..

G. Thompaon, of Roheson : County, who produced 101.9 bushels on a measur ed aevt'df ltofck?..-t " ', In produdngVthis yield, Thompson used methods ; recommended by the State College xtenstpK aeryice, said C. R. Hudson, who was charge of ex tension work with Negro farmers. Last January, Thompson broke his land by plowing to a depth of eight inches. He gave the " field a light application of ' one, ton of stable manure. Hudson explained that more manure would have increased the yield still further, but Thompson had only a small amount available at the time. :.".-.' ':, On April 25, Thompson planted his seed, Latham's Double-Eared variety, and applied 400 pounds of 3-8-3 fertilizer. His land is a light sandy loam. When , the stalks were about two feet high, he applied ' another 400 pounds of the same fertilizer. Just before the corn bunched for tassels, he gave it a aide dressing of 200 pounds of nitrate of soda. While growing, the crop was cultivated three times. At $1 a bushel, the corn was valu ed at $101.90. The stover produced was worth $17, and the soybeans grown with the corn were valued at $8.00. This made a total return 01 $126.90 from the acre. It cost Thompson $21.60 to pro duce the crop. His net profit was $105.30. As State winner, he will be given a free trip to Washington, with ex penses paid by a commercial firm. Edward Ballard, of Northhampton County, who produced 100.3 bushels of corn to the acre,, won second place in the contest." v Like it or iftt, low average corn yields m th:e section have, been a serious drawback to farm afosperity. With yields half as oodv as-those mentioned above, and . with ' ample pasturage, we could successfully compete with the corn belt states or with any other country in livestock production. ,And if we would only support cotton farming, peanut farm ing and track crops farming with ample livestock and poultry to .jive us a balanced operation, this would bring perpetual good times to the great agricultural South. Says llzrl zi C:cu!3 , Be Retire J To Pasture 1-.? v - . -r ' Because of the difficulty of 'Vulti ,vatiOn and high erodibility of the types of soil known to, North -Carolina fanners as ""iron4 rock"; land, the Soil Conservation Service and State College Extension Service are recommending ', that theses types of soil he Iredell series--fce retired to pasture, aocordirar "to'R.

Pleas- !nts of the Charlotte projecV 'Ji t .Thesa soiis,i also sometimes refer red to as, "black jack," f"bull tallow," and "beeswax" land, vary .In the but-, face from; light brown in thet sandy types, to brown and occasionally black inf., the day types. t . z J.:.- I The reason why sheet erosion is so severe in these soils,, Mr, Pleasants points: out,' is easily aoen from the waxy, - heavy, clay , subsoil, which : la o plastic an4 tight; tiiat It is 1m possible for water to penetrate through ft except at a.very slow rate. This means that when drains come the surface soil is soon saturated and the water begins running off, carry ing the topsoil with it,7. Pleasants Said. : :"'',Sr;V'-';;". ',-. Gullies are numerous on these soils. When they occur on even a slight slope, ruinous erosion is certain to result if the land is used for other than soil-binding crops. By placing Iredell soils in pas ture, erosion can easily be controlled by the various 'pasture grasses, he said.
