Va.. with the notation -"You ask for let ters to your columns and say you like ideas that do not coincide with your own. This is a trial balloon or ba loney -whichever you may call it. Its charges cannot be overaptly de nied." The letter follows: Chewing The Rag The Perquimans Weekly Dear Sir: It was refreshing to note the prognostications of Mr. Hosea M. Lane of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., on Mr. Roosevelt's third term. The writer happens to know Mr. Lane to be quite an authority on crystal ball calesthenics. He (Mr. Lane even selected Mr. Tunney to win over Mr. Dempsey in their fistic encounter in Philadelphia several years ago when almost everyone else thought other wlse. The guessing game is quite an in teresting pastime, and contests in life and fiction offer some of the biggest thrills to a world that is al ways clamoring for another jab of the hypodermic needle. In Mr. Roosevelt's hands this infec tious needle has made a nation and ven a whole world jump with glee. The President still holds the needle and no doubt Mr. Lane knows where- nf he sneaks, and is not sticking his neck out quite so far as "WHAT-SO" riianres a certain writer oi aoing when he predicts a third term for the present White House occupant. A man who can spend more money in seven years and two months and 11 hours in peace time than the Federal Government has spent in more than a hundred years, including three wars, the Louisiana Purchase, the Alaskan, Virgin Isflands, and Philippine deals deserves more dis tinct consideration vfrpm grqfea eountrv. Yes th:an h4saio! "fip smith is in nock." and "the south is the economic problem No. 1 of our countrv" and then spent more money in the rich Republican state of Pennsylvania than in the entire south deserves tumultuous acclaim from a grateful nation. The man who spent three hundred and seventy-five million dollars and put one hundred thousand people on the payroll in the state of Kentucky to get his personally chosen senator electpd, borrowing the money which is to be paid back by our children's children, deserves a niche in the Hall of Fame that shall be inde structible. This man who has fooled more folks than Mohammed, and aOl of them look on him with about the same degree of reverence . . . We quite aeree with Mr. Lane's surmising as to the President's run ning again. But his election may be another question. We happen to be Mr. Lane's brother. SAMUEL J. LANE, Richmond, Virginia.

Equita- Hnn instruction is included on the regular schedule of trainees attend ing the C. M. T. Camp this year, and the trained army horses will be used for this. It is expected that horses for rid ing will be' available to qualified riders at other periods during their stay at camp. Enrollment for the 1940 C. M. T. Camp is now under way, and already almost the full quota of 760 who will go to Bragg thi ssummer has been signed. North Carolina ' and north "ern South Carolina youths desiring to attend camp should contact their county representative at once or write direct to: C. M. T. C. Officer, Fort Bragg, N. C, for application blanks. Suggests Treatment For 'Frozen' Trees CoaJ piles are not the only thing that suffered from the freezing weather of the winter just past. The unusual cold periods were especially hard on fruit trees, says H. R. Nis- wonger, horticulturist of the state College Extension Service, who has prepared some recommendations for treatment of injured, or "frozen," trees. In the first place, he explains that the most common form of injury was the killing of the thin layer of bark, known as the cambium tissue, where all growth starts. The frozen areas can be detected by noting places on the tree where the bark is split all the way to the heart of the tree; where the bark takes on a dark color, especially at the base of the trunk; by sunken areas of the bark; and by separation of the thin bark from the sap and heart wood. "Trees which are not too severely injured should have all the loose bark of frozen areas removed," Niswonger advised. "Cut back to the live wood, anH make taDerine cuts or wedges in the live tissue above and. below the wound. This will leave a boat-shaped scar. The wound or scar should be Dainted with Bordeaux paste or with white lead paint in order to pre vent entrance of wood-rotting fungi. "Large damaged parts of the body f tVio tmA mav be bridee-erafted next spring, thereby providing a flow of sap past the wounded area, wnen the entire body of the tree has been girdled by sloughing of the, bark, and when the loose bark has been re moved before there is much fermen tation of the sap, a new cylinder of sapwood is formed, sometimes re sulting in the.movement of water and the, ton of the tree. "Application of nitrate fertilizers to the trees often results in more ranid recovery from cold, weather damage in the orchard." 1. What percentage of farms have electric power available? 2.
