X w WHAT IS TAKING PLACE V BY ur:imsTAnEssem ., , hearing before the Senate Com mittee on the Judiciary with refe rence to the President's court plan have served to focus new attention on the 'important part Congressional committees play in the legislative field of our Government. It is not too much to say that these committees really draft the laws under which our people live. , Nevertheless, compara tively few people really appreciate their importance and have a know ledge of their functions. All proposed legislation is referred to the proper committee. If it per tains to the courts, it goes to the judiciary committees of both Houses. If it pertains to the Navy, it is re ferred to the committees on Naval Affairs and so on. Should the meas ure introduced be of importance, the committees hold hearings, such as those now in progress on the court "..'". . 1 1 J.1 A. 4,1.,. . lt register their views, me iongress l ional committees are the ears and yes of Congress. More important laws, such as tax bills, etc., are drafted in committee rooms and reach the floors of both Houses as com mittee bills. Of course, these bills can be virtually redrafted in tiie Se ';' nate and in the House in the course of debate and amendment, but with out previous committee consideration . the work of the Congress would be .hopelessly jumbled. Naturally, meinbers concerned with particular legislation secure commit- . .- : r i 1 reports, uujm'N u.l iieauu&D aiiu ' confer with conuinllee members with regard to issues of importance. Thus, the committees are lirmly entrench ed in the basic workings of the Con- .gresa. p No better evidence of the key part committees have in the legis lative branch of the Government can be found than the fact that the standing and influence of a member of Congerss, whether he be a Sena J tor or a Representative, is based on V his committee posts. And this stand ing and influence is gained only through assignments, 'that are, based on seniority attained through service. North Carolina's representation on , committees ' is today --particularly strong because 'the members of its delegation have seniority attained : through continuous service. New members of both Houses start at the. bottom of committees. The seniority' rule is never violated. Men with long years in service and' great prestige in the House have come to the Senate but were, forced to take th saraeXrift'B far as committees are concerned1, as a nevTSeriator with out previous Congressional exper ience. For instance, Nathaniel Macon, of North Carolina, who 'served with, distinction as Speaker pf the' House ' of Representative, started anew when he came to the Senate, and his pre vious experience in the House counted for naught when it came to commit tee assignments. Thus,, the 'senior ity rule is one of the most hallowed; Congressional traditions. The most treasured post in Con gress is a committee -chairmanship, with its prestige and power.. And this prestige and power, comes only through continuous service. As are a men of experience .and who are ably f - equippeu vy.exenune uus groat aunu- ttons-ffiven to them '- in the orderly - 1 process of drafting and redrafting laws and in Teflecting the will of the people.

Dahlias Grow Well In North Carolina Soils A soil . that will grow good vege tables will grow dahlias, said Robert Schmidt, horticulturist at the N. C. Agricultural Experiment Station. A sunny location with partial shade in the afternoon, and protected from drying winds, is ideal for a dahlia garden, he went on. The soil should be well drained. For poor, run-down soils, turn under a liberal application of well rotted manure several weeks before plant ing time. A handful of bone meal to each hill or a small amount of well balanced commercial fertilizer mixed thorough ly with the soil at planting time will aid the growth of the young plants. In central North Carolina, dahlias may be planted from April 1 to late June, though May 1-15 is probably the best time, Schmidt pointed out. The dahlia buds, or eyes, are found on the .base of the stem, or crown, and not in the roots. A root with out an eye will not produce a dahlia plant. However, one root with one good eye is sufficient for planting one hill. Medium to small-sized roots are better than large ones, he continued. Plant them six inches deep in sandy soils and not more than four to five inches deep in heavy soils. Hills should foe spaced three- feet apart in rows three and a half to four feet apart. When about 15 inches high, the plants should be top-dressed with a , 1 ty " I , t'jpvwf iA i 1 i i - : i ,c . t if V x handful of good potato fertilizer to each hill, but don't place the fertili zer closer tnan six mcnes to tbe plant. Repeat this when the buds begin to appear, and every three weeks thereafter until mid-September. But do not over fertilize, warn ed Schmidt Hog Outlook Is Good For Carolina Farmer Better prices for hogs this sum mer are forecast by H. W. Taylor, extension swine specialist at State College. Although large stocks of pork and lard are now in cold storage, he said, the number of hogs being slaughter ed is diminishing, while the demand is holding up well. Most of the Nation's market hogs are -produced in the western corn belt and in the north central states. The supply of corn in the western corn belt is approximately 40 per cent less than it was two years ago. and the number of hogs there on Champion Bicycle Sprinter says: "ME FOR CAMELS!"

The 26,473,000 head of hogs in the north central States is about the same number produced in 1935, ac cording to a report from the fede ral bureau of agricultural economics. Any increase in hog production in these regions will depend upon a re turn of corn production to something like a normal level, and that cannot affect hog prices this spring and summer, Taylor pointed out. The outlook, then, ia that there will be good market for North Caro lina hogs, he continued. Prices are expected to hold up well through the spring, and rise in the summer. However, the question of whether an individual farmer should hold his hogs for summer marketing will de pend upon the condition of his hogs and the amount and type of feed he has on hand. When cream will not whip, add the white of one egg and thoroughly chill before whipping. "AFTER RUSH DAYS, Camels help me pull my self together," ys Helen Nolan, newspaper report er.
