STATE THEATRE Hertford, N.C.

"Gulliver's Travels," Janothan Swift's amazing adventure story of the English sailor's Odyssey in the land of miniature people, comes to the screen as a full-length animated cartoon, in Technicolor, in the Para mount 'production of the same name, which will be given its first local showing next Monday and Tuesday at the State Theatre, Hertford. Al though Swift, the great eighteenth century clergyman and author, pen ned the story as a bitter satire on the human race in general and Eng lish politics in particular, it haa since become a classic more because of its extraordinary fantasy, broad Thieves Enter Service Station Sunday Night Thieves entered the Bill and Viv Service Station at the corner of Church and Grubb Streets Sunday night, taking four dollars in silver from the cash register which they broke open. They overlooked a smaller amount of cash in another compartment of the cash register. The robbery was discovered by Hazel Matthews when he opened the station for business on Monday morning. It was stated that noth ing more than the cash was missing. Entry was apparently gained through the ladies' room which opens outside the station; the thieves re moving a window which gave acoes to a storage room in the rear of the station, and then removing another window to get into the men's room, which opens in the station proper. Vivian and Halzel Mathews are the proprietors. Probable Cause Not Found (Continued f rom Page One) permissible, however the objection was overruled, and Owens took the stand. He offered. Elliott's statement that he entered by the window and then let the other two men in through the door. The State asked for a nol prosse on a warrant charging Hoffler with assault on Wiggins', Elliott and Mc Intyre. James Skinner, Negrp, who plead guilty to a charge of simple assauh on J. Umphlett, of Durants Neck, was ordered to pay the costs of court. The trouble resulted from ail argument over a rebate of gasoline tax on fuel used in motor boats. Mr. Umphlett is a fisherman and Skinner worked for him.

Answered , Question: Is it ImportaiiLftS live1 grazing crops for poultry? Anawerr Yes. But - one of the most important' - points in growing grazing crops is to maintain 'a con stant ' supply of 'tender succulent growth. To secure this, , the crop must make a rapid growth, and con tinue to grow over a long period. Aids in securing this ' are a fertile, moist soil, commercial fertilizer, a well-prepared seed bed, plenty of rainfall and the choice of the right crop. Grazing crops planted on poor land should be well-fertilized the first year or two, after that fertiliza tion maybe lighter, or less frequent, as very ttttle fertility la, removed by grazing. 1 Question: How can I produce a high quality of cream? Answer: The production of good cream starts with the cow. Clean milk cannot be secured from dirty cows; therefore, keep the cows clean. Before milking, wash and dry the udder. The milkimr should be done in clean, well-lighted stalls. The lounging shed or place where the cows stay, except at milking time, should be kept well bedded and dry. Ample bedding serves the double purpose of providing comfort for the cows and increasing the volume of manure, a valuable product. Question: Is the AAA making payments to North Carolina farmers this year for growing a home gar den? Answer: Yes. A payment of $1.50 will be made to any farmer for planting a home gardenT However, he must plant at least one-tenth acre of vegetables for each member of the family and must protect the garden from livestock and poultry. Of course, he must use good cultural practices. Not more than one acre of vegetables will be required of any farmer for payment.
