W. Ander-1 son, wranty Agent, this week, not only offers, through the Agricultural Adjustment Administration in its soil-building program, raw ground rock lime at a price lower than the farmer would, have to pay for the lime if purchased through the usual channels, but provides that those farmers taking advantage of the SDecial Grant of Aid to nrrwhirprn pwty pay for the lime from the nro ! . ; .. . uucers conservation payment for compliance in 1940. The lime is available to all pro ducers who are operating under the farm program, each such farmer being eligible to purchase a certain number of tons. The letter explains that only 90 percent of the producer's soil build ing payment can be used for the pur chase of this lime, and that the pro ducer will be given credit for one unit on his soil building goal for each 1,600 pounds of this lime used on his farm land, except that a producer may not use less than 1,000 pounds of "the lime per acre if used under -t- peanuts, commercial vegetables or Hobacco. In his letter, Mr. Anderson states I " that most Perquimans County soils! need ttime and that this is an excel lent opportunity to get good lime at! low cost on convenient terms and to receive credit for using it. This offer to farmers was made last year but was mode so late that only a few of the Perquimans farm ers were able tn tal advantage nf the offer. The lime is delivered to! the nearest railway station, freight! prepaid. It is shipped in open top cars, in bulk. It contains, according to Mr. Anderson, both Calcium and Magnesium Carbonates, and should give better results than lime con taining only Calcium Carbonate, he states. RALEIGH North Carolina news papers and public officials were praised today for their part In the campaign to rid the state of ob jectionable beer outlets. Edgar H. Bain of Goldsboro state uirector or the Brewers and North Carolina Beer Dis tributors commit tee, said today that their co operation enabled the committee to secure the revoca tion of 35 retail beer licenses for the four - month period ended De cember 31. Colonel Bain., three-times mem ber of the state senate and decorated for bravery while serving with the 30th division in the World War, su pervises the beer Industry's ro,, up or close up" campaign in North Carolina. He was a captain during the war and Is now n colonel in the reserve, commanding the 321st in fantry of the 81st division. "Our clean up or close un cam paign in North Carolina Is directed BAIV against those beer outlets who dte. regard the law and publio decen cy." Colonel Bain said. "A great majority of dealers conduot repu table places of business but there are scattered outlets over the stats which our committee seeks to elimi nate. "During the past four months, special investigators for our com mittee have visited more than a third of North Carolina's J0O coun ties. Thev have lnsnentArf hmriwh of outlets. Our warned more than a score of places to clean up before we take more drastic action. "We have Instituted ?cion against 66 dealers. Thirty-five of these deal ers have lost their licenses to sell beer, and the hnarrtu nf sioners of eight counties are yet to tun, on our petitions to revoke the licenses of 18 dealers. One dealer In Iredell was nlaced nn nrnhflt.lnn Wa lost one case and withdrew action In another. "The success Of our camrtAitm Hp- pends upon a vleorous urpss and the cooperation of local officials. Our committee believes 1940 will brim; about the elimination of most of these objectionable beer outlets." j Sport and Commercial Fishing- Question to Be Put Before Con servation Board Sty fi"ra1sc'uotank County; January , finite resistance to diseases and rfO, at Rocky Mount with Nash and Edgecombe Counties as joint hosts; February 5, at Rutherfordton in Rutherford County; February 6, at Concord in Cabarrus County; Feb ruary 12 at Jacksonville in Onslow County; February 13, at Elizabeth e.ih. since it was formally an nounced about three months ago, in quiries have poured into N.

F. Parrish, Ex tension poultryman of State College. County agents are in charge of ar rangements for the meetings, in co operation with representatives of other agricultural agencies. The schedule follows: January 9.9.. at WaynesviWe in Haywood County; January 23, at Lenioir in Caldwell County; January 29, at Elizabeth man; Prof. Roy S. Dearstvne and H. C.

This will be the fifth year that district poultry short courses have been sponsored by the Extension Ser vice. The first year the average at tendance was 50 persons per meet ing; last year it was more than 200 per meeting, with 2.700 farmers and farm women attending the 12 short) courses.

Actual field tests with the potato in Ashe County proved it to be a high-yielder, far outclassing varie ties now commonly grown in the mountain counties of the State. Likewise, it showed an almost un canny resistance to diseases and in sects which commonly attack potatoes. New Potato Variety To Get Recognition North Carolina's contribution to the Irish potato field, the recently developed Sequoia, will get nation wide attention Friday, January 12, through the coast-to-coast networks I of the Mutual Broadcasting System. !

Holdrege to guard his prop erty while he was away on a vaca tion, was arrested, charged with looting the house next door. Asked why he had not looted Hoklrege's home, the man replied "That would not be honest." The matter of changing the boun dary lor commercial fishing in the Perquimans River is to come before the meeting of the Board of Conser vation and Development to be held shortly, probably next week. Two petitions have been circulated in Perquimans, each being signed by a long list of citizens of the county, I each in opposition to the other, which will be placed before the Hoard. One of these petition.-;, represent ing the game fishermen, the men who fish with reel and rod or with hook and. line, requests that the boundary of the inland waters, now set at the bridge at Hertford, be ex tended down the river to Sutton's Creek, a distance of about six miles. The other petition asks that the boundaries remain as they are. The latter petition represent.-; the com-j mercial fishing industry. It is probable that a compromise may be made, possibly extending the boundary to w point from Crow Point on the south side of the river to Nixon Point on the north side This compromise, it is understood, would not be agreeable to all of the commercial fishermen, as it is claim ed by some that it is near the shore line about the Town of Hertford that more fish are caught in nets. The boundary line for commercial fishing was formerly set at the bridge at Major & Loomis Com pany's mill, north of Hertford, with no nets allowed on the west side of the bridge. This was changed four or five years ago, with the bridge at Hertford being made the boundary. If the boundary line is further ex tended to Crow Point and Nixon Point it would leave approximately 11 miles of the river free to the com mercial fishermen, with the entire shore line of Hertford, as well as the upper portion of the river, free te the sportsmen. The sportsmen, how ever, are not prohibited from fishing anywhere in the river, except during the closed season. It is claimed by certain of the reel and rod and hook and, line fishermen that during the closed season, which is spawning time for the bass, that the game fish are not properly pro tected, as it is impossible for them not to be caught in the nets of the commercial fishermen who are at that time legitmately fishing for shad and herring, and that often be fore the bass are thrown out of the nets they die. It is illegal for the bass to be taken by nets. There is before the Federal au thorities at this time a petition ask ing that young Bass be placed in these waters. Doubtless, the request will be granted and the sportsmen are looking forward to a season with plenty of these big fish in the river. They will be put in the small streams, the creeks, emptying into l erquimans Kiver. J he sportsmen claim that if nets are set in the river at the time these fish leave the creeks tiiat there will be no way of preventing many of them from neing caught m nets and that many of them will, be destroyed. The fact, also, that the net stakes close to the shore line of the town detracts from the appearance of the water front, which is very beautiful, is argued by the promoters of the movement to extend the boundaries of the prohibited area. Expert Sponger "Can I borrow a cigaret, old man?" "Well, you ought to be able to you've had enough practice."
