C, FRIDAY, 7, 1949 ,11 ( SUSAN .THATttK i Fwtory chimneys belching smoke , . ; long lines- of men tramping to .work ; trains of freight cars Crawling across the continent That's the picture the word "Indus try" conjures up. Probably it seems m strawberry shortcake for supper oat in you shining kitchen or water ing the nasturtium seeds you just got through planting in your noww garden, that "Industry" has nothing to do with you. And yet, the very shininess ot your kitchen and the hose you use for watering your flowers, depend n it. If it were not for his thing called "Industry" you'd probably be using an old-fashioned black cook store or even a fireplace as youi great grandmother did! You would n't have much leisure for your gar den, even if you had one. "Indus try" produces the white enameled atnvA von use. the hose and the wa ter system that enables you to water your flowers and the labor-saving devices that give you the time for doing it. It is also responsible for the money your husband earns with Which to buy these things. "Oh, but . . . you say, "Jim is a ..'.I. II T' . A 1 If dentist, or Jim us a leaoner vi "Jim is a storekeeper. He has noth ing to do with 'Industry.' Why, lie's never worked in a factory in his life and we don't own so much as a share of stock!" Just the same, "Industry" makes all the difference in the world to Jim and to you, no matter where you live. If you live in a town where there's a mill or factory that 'difference is perfectly apparent. This plant means jobs for ten, twen ty, a hundred, perhaps a thousand people. Good jobs, too, because fac tories are paying high wages these days. .. ' And what do these jobs mean to you and Jim who aren't holding any of them? First of all, they mean people with money to buy things in the stores of your town. If Jim is a storekeeper or clerk, then his busi ness is possible or much better be cause of this spending. And if he is a. dentist? It means that more people can afford to have their teeth taken care of and at fair prices. Not only the: peoPW con nected with the factory, but the peo ple in the store who have money be cause factory people have bougnt things from them! And if Jim is a teacher he has a better job because the town collects more money in taxes and so, has it to spend on teachers and schools, as well as on parks and pavements and .public libraries. So you see, yon are part of this big industrial system that sounds so imposing and "makes this country wbat It is. Wot only because you buy and use the things "Industry" produces, such as hats and shoes and cook stoves and breakfast food, but because "Industry enables your hus band to earn the money with which you buy these things. That's why it is vitally important to you that "Industry" keeps on go ing, as actively as possible, ana in the free-enterprise, American Way!

Andean and Maness Faced With Task of Selecting Beauty For Potato Festival The weather to date" has been un favorable toward ..getting , ,. good stand of cotton, various farmers are complaining, but corn and beans and other crops are looking good, ac cording to L. W. Anderson, county farm agent. Mav Pea Dickinsrs began in some fields Tuesday and were almost in full swing Wednesday despite tne nnn-too-cheerful asoects of a blus tery, cool, sunless day. Mr. Anderson, though saying he has nothing with which , to back up the assertion, is under the impres sion that there is a very slight in . . i . . in crease, almost too augni to nwuuuu, in Irish Potato acreage in Perquim ans County this year. In connection with the mention of Irish Potatoes, Mr. Anderson and Miss Frances Maness, demonstration agent, who is very busy at the mo ment with her flower show and tea, are faced with the task of selecting a Perquimans County Beauty Queen to ride on the float in Elizabeth City on June sixth, in the Potato Festival Mr. Anderson says they will prob ably appoint a committee to select the queen. The queens from all counties participating in the festival will ride on one float. So far as can be determined, this is the only part Perquimans County will have in the spud festival. The identity of this county's beauty queen will be made known in this paper next week. The vigorous hailstorm of two weeks ago, it is understood, did an amount of damage in certain sections but was not serious to any great de gree.

Hostetler, profes sor of animal husbandry at N. C State College. "Our Southern grass will do just as good a job, if we use good sires in breeding our cattle,' he declares. "Recent research has shown that good beef can be produced froin Southern pastures, roughages and cottonseed meal," the animal hus bandman says. "With the long grow ing season and greater stress on im proved pastures, the finishing of beef cattle will prove a profitable prac tice in the Southern States. Added to profit from the sale cf beef is the value of plant food restored to the pasture land without labor in hand ling manure." Prof. Hostetler says that experi ments by the North Carolina, and other experiment stations, have shown in certain cases that larger returns are possible from beef cattl6 that are fed cottonseed ,.. cake, or a mixture of cottonse3d V meal and grain, in addition to pasture. Also, by this method, the quality of beef is improved and more rapid gains are j made, higher prices are secured, ar.cl , less grain Ls u?ed than- for cattle ii t m i ,1 wai are iea to tne same degree of finish in a dry lot.. "Cotton belt feeders have proved that cottonseed meal is not only an economical and efficient ; source of protein, but, in addition, . ha3 a pro ductive or fattening valjue that is important in feeding on 'grass," the State College man declared. When farm grains are; available, many feeders use a mixture of one part of cottonseed meal .and 4 to 6 parts of ground grain for cattle on grass. Pasture condition and the re lative cost of grain determines the proportion of meal and grain fed, as well as the amount of mixture fed to. cattle. i How to put the old snap back in your car with a new kind of gasoline .... mm? &mm Auto Quiz No. 1 ANSWERS i 1. c. twenty to thirty' feet.
