S. 17 IN EASTERN GROUP NEW FARM PROGRAII When the major farm-producing areas in which the four million-dollar research laboratories will be estab lished were designated, North Caro lina was grouped with the New Eng land and North Atlantic states rath er than with the Southern group. The 1939 farm program, as outliw ed by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, is similar in most respects to the 1938 program, say E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer at State College. i WHEAT RESEARCH It may take years to prove that a new variety of wheat is r,ood as much as 15 or more years be'nre tha hybrid variety is released to grow ers but only one or two years to show that it is poor. NEAR BILLION American hog producers last year realized a cash income of 902,525,000 from sale of hogS pork and lard. This more than doubled the amount received in 1932. . WW TAYLOR THEATR EDENTON.'N.

Proverbs 22:6. Lesson Text: 1 Samuel 2:12-4; 18 In our lesson last week we learned that Eli was the priest in the temple at Shiloh when Hannah, the wife of a godly man, Elkanah, prayed so ear nestly and fervently that God give her the privilege of bearing a son. She promised that if God heard her entreaty and gave Jier a son, that she would give him back in service to God. True to her promise, Hannah, after her beloved baby boy became old enough to be parted from her, took him to the temple and placed him under the care of the old priest, Eli, who trained him to perform the daily tasks connected with the care of the temple, such as opening and closing the temple doors, filling the lamps with oil and trimming their wicks and various and sundry tasks which young, willing hands and feet could perform as a service of love to God and to aid the priest of God. Historically, these were dark days for the children of Israel. The peo ple had grown away from God and were in a demoralized condition. Eli, not only a priest, but also a judge, having grown old, was incapable of exercising authority. His two sons, Hophni and Phineas, whom he had appointed as priests to keep intact the line of succession, were unfit men for their holy positions and Eli knew it, but lacked the courage to remove them from their places. Word came to Eli ihat they had debuached their offices and practiced every abomina tion of the evil day within sight of the holy sanctuary itself. In this, Eli was most pitiable. Although a good man and thoroughly disapprov ing their conduct he was unable to restrain their wickedness. His re bukes, and we have one given us, failed to change the course of these licentious young men. Such was the atmosphere surround ing the very seat of the worship of God. Conditions generally were bad, but this was not so in every home. Then, as now, there were godly men and women who loved and worshipped God whether others did so or not. To a home like this, God sent Samuel. So strong were the influences of his godly home upon the life of this young child that, notwithstanding the corruption of the age or the proxim ity of wickedness, Samuel in his new surroundings pursued his pathway into young manhood pure and clean, with a heart open for God's com mands. While a boy serving in the temple, Samuel experienced his first message from God. It was a terrifying task to the youth that of conveying a message of condemnation to his eld er, Eli. The old priest, however, re reived the message from God with submission and accepted the fact that, because of the sins of his sons and his own weakness in not punish ing them for their sins, God would take the priesthood from the family of Eli. As Samuel grew into manhood the Israelites met with severe disaster. The Philistines conquered them. Thinking to help themselves, the Hebrew leaders decreed that the sac red ark should be brought into the next battle, hoping that its presence would be as effective as at Jericho with Joshua. But all in vain. Not only were they defeated by the Phil istines, but the ark was captured. It was during this battle that Eli's two sons were killed. Eli, after forty years of service, died when the news of the great defeat and the capture of the ark reached him. Great must have been the disap pointment of Eli in the outcome of his two sons. These two young men had a fine start & good home, a splendid position, the honor and re spect of the people, everything need ed to help and encourage them in leading an honorable life. But, they lost everything character, respect, happiness because they insisted on "doing as I please." What a price to pay for self-indulgence! Mrs. Jake White In Business 21 Years Most Popular Milliner Caters to Something Different Mrs. Jake White is finishing her twenty-first year as this section's most popular milliner. This month marks the end of her twenty-first year in business, exactly the same length of time her precedessor, Mrs. G. T. Hawkins, had been in business when Mrs. White bought out her millinery establishment in 1917. The shop was then located in the building adjoining the Hertford Bank ing Company, now occupied by the firm of Davenport and Blanchard. In those days almost every wom an's hat style was individually de signed and was made in the shop to specified orders given by the custom er. But times have changed and Mrs. White's present display of fall millinery on the second floor at Simon's is so extensive as to take in almost any desired style of headwear. However, alterations are still the or der in Mrs. White's line of business whenever the urge for "something difFerent" is not entirely met in the prepared stock. Mrs. White was first engaged here in the millinery line of work when she came to Hertford and was em ployed in Mrs. Hawkins' millinery establishment. 'She was later mar ried to Mrs. Hawkins' brother, Jacob T. White. List of Annuals for Many Purposes Tar Heel Farmers Get AAA Millions North Carolina farmers received $8,893,691.05 up to August 13 for their participation in the 1937 agri cultural conservation program, E. Y. Floyd.of , State College, has an - nounced. Last year, he continued, growers ot this State earned some $9,350,000 by regulating their acreage of soil depleting crops T and by carrying out soil-building practices. Only , about $456,300 remfins to, be paid. ,The AAA also gave Nbrth Caro lina farmers $11,93252, up to. May , 817 in , "grants of ald'Tthat triple- , superphosphate given farmers in lieu of part of 'their payments. -"Ployd added that up to May 31, some $542,100 had been set aside for county .AAA associations to defray the coq$ of administering the pro gram locally. 'Around "143,000" farmers fiigned work sheets' for. participating in,, the program last year, he continued,' and some 256,00fr- farms ; are i covered : by work sheets this year. At least -99 per cent of the farms Jn the State are covered by work sheets that qualify them to take part in. the program. Floyd pointed out that Jar Heel 'growers as a whole can earn consider ably more this year then they did in 1937 if they donV over-plant; their toil-depleting crops and if, they carry out all the' soil-building practices re commended' for their farms under the program. - . ' i , ,:. Among the practices for improving the soil are: terracing, applying lime and phosphate, reseeding . pastures, growing legumes end turning .under green manure crops, -. Early Breeding May Injure Young Stock Breeding young animals too soon will soon stunt their growth and lower the quality of their offspring, warns Ii. I. Case, extension animal husbandman at State College. Heifers should not be bred until they are at least 18 months old, and sometimes it is advisable to wait un til they, are 20 to 24 months old. It is also a good idea to wait , until ewe lambs ere a year old before they are bred. Case pointed out Jhat the Ameri can Hereford Cattle Breeders Asso ciation will not register a calf drop ped from a cow that is less than 27 months old,' which means that the heifers must not be bred before they are 18 months old. " f He also stated that July and Aug ust a the best breeding months for commercial sheep flocks in North Carolina.1 This , brings the lambs in December and January, and they are ready for market in May when prices reach theirs peak. The ewes and their lambs, he con tinued, can make a good living in the winter by' feeding on j winter cover crops of rye or other small grains along with winter legume?" Such as crimson clover, Austrian winter peas, and Vetch. , v .The best breeding months for beef cattle are May, June and July, bo the calves will be dropped ftTfebru ary and March have them time to be ready for weaning about November 1.

Magazines, catalogs, newspa per articles and books should be an important part of your gar dening education. Do not neglect them. The leeks are excellent season ers to grow. They will give a new taste to old dishes, and need take up only a small part of your vegetable patch. Send in order early for new gladiolus bulbs. They are ex hausted early with the vogue of this popular plant. Thursday, August 25 BRIDGE CELEBRATION Theatre Opens 1.45 and Runs Continuously Until 11 P. M.
