A CURE FOR FEAR: Be merci ful unto me, O God: for man would Swallow me up; he righting daily op pressed me. Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that right against me, 0 thou most High. What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. Psalms 56:1,2,3. WELL DONE Corporal G. I. Dail and patrolmen Clyde W. Gibson and L. B. Lane ren dered a real service in the efficient manner in which they handled the traffic situation during the district club meeting at the Perquimans High School on Tuesday. Placing no parking signs on both sides of the highway in front of the building in advance of the meeting, the officers directed all cars to be parked on the school grounds, and so efficiently was the matter handl ed that there was ample room for all the cars, with no confusion or inconvenience for any one. Well done! A GOOD BOARD The Board of County Commission ers are to be congratulated for their action in appointing W F. C. Ed wards' as a member of the County Board of Welfare. In Mr. Edwards they have chosen a man who not only knows his county and is fami liar with conditions, but one who is interested in the welfare of his peo ple. Probably no man in the coun ty ever held in a greater degree the confidence and respect of the citi lens of the county than does Mr. Ed wards, who can always be depended upon to deal fairly. In fact, the personnel of the new Welfare ; Board is representative of the best of our citizenship, as it should be. Mrs. V. N. Darden, who was ap pointed by the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare, is a woman who will always take a de cided stand for what she believes to be the right. Charles E. Johnson, chosen by Mrs. Darden and. Mr. Edwards, as the third member of their board, is also a wise choke. Mr. Johnson, though a young man is a very capable young man, and by reason of the experience he has hid in relief work is more or less familiar with conditions. It is doubtful if a better balanced group of three persons could have been selected than these three. V, t. ,yji few Va This bulletin lists the crops adapt ed to a given section, gives the ferti lizer applications recommended, the varieties showing highest returns, and the system of rotation recom mended. It is a valuable bulletin to have on hand. Question: Is ground limestone needed on permanent pastures? Answer: Recent farm manage ment demonstrations throughout the piedmont and mountain sections of North Carolina indicate that it is absolutely necessary to have ground limestone applied to the permanent pasture for the grasses and clovers to make best growth. This same thing must be true also in eastern Carolina particularly where the soil is acid. North ' Carolina farmers have never used enough limestone generally on their fields devoted to the growth of legumes, grasses, for age crops and the like. Question: When is the best time to caponize cockerels? Answer: Cockerels may be cano nized at any time of the year if the birds are of the proper age to per mit a successful operation. From a commercial standpoint, cockerels are caponized about the first of July which makes them ready for the market next Easter. Use vigorous cockerels of about, two pounds in weight and be sure to have ample grazing crops provided for them. It is best to consult with the county farm agent before venturing too far into the capon business.

Question: Do you have a bulletin describing the different agricultural areas of North Carolina and listing the crrs" 'jj'ted to each area? Ar c Yas. trite to the agri r ' f"f a copy of Exten- tance to smut and produce compa ratively high yields of gram, and Dr. Middleton believes they will revive I the barley crop. As a forage crop, the hooded or smooth varieties are preferred, while bearded barleys produce the heav iest yields of grain. ' The new hooded selections known as No. 26 has averaged 27,3jbushels per, acre in test conducted: during the past five years, as compared with 22.8 bushels produced by Tennessee No. 6. Although No. 26 is not com pletely immune to smut, it does show a far greater resistance than any other variety now grown ' in this State. - i The average yield , of all hooded barleys in the State for the years 1932-1986 was 83.8 bushels per acre; while the - bearded barleys produced an average of 33.8 bushels. A new hybrid selection of bearded barley known as No. 15 has been the highest producer1, yielding 87.4 bus hels to the. acre. ,This strain ap pears to be almost coppletely im BMaeto smut t ' Seed ; from.
