THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY; HERTFORD, N.

Do we believe in in 1941. That it promises still more .-. .disaster and change, no one will deny. w Philip Reed, Chairman of the Board of the General Electric Com pany, said recently, "Atlas has lost Jthia balance, and as he. struggles for M . . m . 11 i 1 1J 1 a new lirm looinoia, ine worm cu- . 11 Mona BUt in spile oi ne terror land Vpit destruction we 'see about us in Wttifa a4 Hiffipnlt.iM that lie ahead ' 'A of our own great nation, it is a great Jr) time to be alive. We live a lifetime in ft month and what used to be a ' " century of history is made in a year. , Odd things are passing away so ra pidly that we can hardly believe it. New things are bound to come to take their place! 1 ' ' TNew things and better things; not " a return to the oppression and the . 'slavery of the dark ages. This is the thing we must believe in and must 1 .,iwork for if we are to keep our own ' ' balance and do our part in keeping ,'the United States strong and free. We muBt not, like frightened chil- dren,' try to hide our heads or cower i in a comer until the holocaust passes, i int again quoting Mr. Reed, "Should -we not count ourselves fortunate to ' be living and able to take some small , ' .'part dring these crucial years?" r. As women we will not be called . upon to train for an active part in the defense of our country. Not , " many of us will even have a chance ' ' ' to help produce the materials for ? this defense. But there is something ? that as women, we invariably do and v' it is important at this time that we ; do it wisely and well. That is help " ,l't to- create public opinion. It mat ters terribly in these days what the wives and mothers of the men of this latio nbelieve in. Do we believe in ir American freedom which rests on a tripod of (1) civil and religious Cotton Seed Should Oe Cleaned, Graded ? Maximum yields of cotton can be secured only where there is a suffi cient number of strong healthy plants per acre, evenly distributed in the row, For this reason, P. H. Kime, agronomist and cotton breeding spec ialist, of N. C. State College, empha sizes the importance of cleaning and grading cotton seed. Two of the principal causes of a poor stand of cotton, he says, are low germination and low quality of seed. . Low germination of the seed may be ,,r caused by weather damage in the ' v field, heating of the cotton seed in " storage, or damage to the seed after , 1 ginning. ', , Continuing, Mr. Kime said that V cofjton picked while green or damp V v.-cotton f' . and stc , " often 1 f " germin stored m tightly packed Dins wmi heat enough to seriously injure germination. Cotton seed which con- hisrh oercent of moisture when ' J ginned will also heat if f lored in .Vbulk.; t . ' " , Another cause of low germination ( fa light and immature seed. Clean '' ing and grading cotton seed will re , " . move light-weight immature seed, " "'' burs, poorly ginned seed, black seed, "If, you saved your own planting Special Announcement To Peanut Growers The Southern Cotton Oil Company has arranged to store peanuts under the Government Peanut Program.

Or do we think perhaps the dicta tors of Europe have found a better way of running a country? First of all, we must make up our mind which way of life is best for us and for our children. And having decided, we .must talk and act, aye, and pray each day of 1941 in such a way that our influence will be on the side of freedom, hope and advance ment for the individual. If we make a daily effort to serve the cause of freedom, we'll stop being afraid and" discover that this is the most re markable time in all history to be alive! They Say: W. M. Angle, President, Stromberg Carlson Telephone Manufacturing Company: "It is of absolutely the highest importance at this time that jn the interest of the defense pro- gram there be harmonious relations in the manufacturing industry be tween employers and workers, that disputes and strikes be kept at a minimum, and that jurisdictional strikes be avoided altogether. And as never before the proper administra tion of the Wagner Act is of sur passing importance." Will Durant, Philosopher: "Only with a tightening of our spiritual belts can we face the hard choice of 1941, and play an effective part in the drama of our age the conflict between in dividualism and communism, between Christianity and a militaristic pagan ism, between democracy and dictator ship, between suiciding Europe and the resurrected East." and foreign material, seed," the agronomist stated, "then clean and grade them and by all means have a germination test made in time to buy good seed in case yours do not germinate well. If you are buying from a neighbor, require that a germination test be made be. fore you accept them. Seed handled through regular trade channels carry a tag showing the germination and purity." The State College specialist also recommends that seed be treated with Ceresan. There are certain diseases which cause young cotton plants to die, especially during cold cloudy weather. Dusting the seed with Ceresan will kill the diseases on the seed and protect the seed from dis eases of the soil, he says.

There's Specie Of Pine For Every Area In State Choosing the kind of trees to be used in making a forest planting is much like selecting a piece of farm machinery, says R. W. Graeber, Ex tension forester of N. C. State Col lege. A lot depends upon the kind and condition of the soil, and the purpose for which it will be used. Trees vary in growth habits ac cording to soil, climate, moisture, and degree of fertility. For instance, the white pine does best in the mountains, the longleaf pine in the sandhilfls, the shortleaf pine in the Piedmont, and the loblolly pine in the Coastal Plain. Graeber pointed out that every farm needs fence posts." If you don't have a suitable supply of durable! wood," he says, "perhaps an acre or so of black Hocust will meet this problem and at the same time, with its strong spreading root system, be of much help in checking erosion. Even the bees will be happy with your choice, as the locust flowers are a source of good quality honey." In a further discussion of the type of forest planting to make, the Ex tension specialist said: "Much of the idle Hand in our State is mighty poor; yet one of our better pines will grow in every section. Pines will furnish us with lumber for constructing the farm buildings and for repairing those we now have, and with fuel wood for heating our homes, cooking our meals, and for curing tobacco in the flue-cured areas. "Fuel wood; is an important crop, since we as farmers use each year a stack of wood four feet wide, four feet high, and 7,000 miQes long. Then too, pines will produce an income from the sale of such products as pulpwood, poles, piling, and saw logs." HURDLETOWN Mrs. Z. D.
