. The largest membership drive in
the history of the North Carolina De
partment of the American Legion is
sow under way and all veterans of
World Wars I and II are being urged
to join the American Legion, which is
the largest veterans' organization in
the world.
Under instruction from State head-
quarters of the Legion and Auxiliary
in Raleigh, Legionnaires, members of
the Legion Auxiliary, and members
of, the Forty and Eight, the Legion's
honor society, are undertaking a
house-to-house canvass for members
of the Legion and Auxiliary.
The Legion goal for the year is
107,149 and State Legion Commander
William M. York, of Greensboro, said
it is the "aim and hope" of the de
partment that not only will this goal
be reached but that it will be ex
ceeded. "We are calling this campaign the
'Dusk to Dawn' drive and we hope
Legionnaires and Auxiliary members
throughout the State will do their ut
most to acquaint the 459,330 eligible
veterans of World Wars I and II with
the work that the Legion and the
Auxiliary are doing in behalf of the
veterans and their families."
Plans for the "Dusk to Dawn"
. campaign were perfected last week
at a series of divisional meetings held
at Williamston, Clinton, Durham,
Salisbury and Asheville.
Local Legion officials have received
full instructions for the membership
cainpaign from Paul R. Younts,
executive vice-commander of the State
Department of the American Legion.
Literature explaining the work of the
Legion for the veterans and their
families has also been received local-
. ly by Legion officials.
Under the "Dusk to Dawn" cam
paign each county is to be organized
into a county group consisting of Le
gion posts, Auxiliary units and Forty
and Eight Ventures. Every eligible
veteran will be contacted, given Le
gion literature on the work of the
Legion, and invited to join.

Cotton Market Reports
From USDA Great Help
North Carolina farmers are finding
U. S. Department of Agriculture cot
ton market reports helpful in keeping
abreast of cotton prices and market
ing conditions.
Joe H. McLure, in charge of the
Production and Marketing Adminis
tration's Cotton Branch office in At
lanta, Ga., reports -mbrr and more
farmers are making good use of the
detailed information supplied in the
weekly cotton and cottonseed re
views and a grade and staple report.
The Weekly Cotton Market Review
gives prices of cotton in central mar
kets as well as prices for cotton de
livered to mills. Also, it carries spot
and futures quotations, data on ac
tivity in domestic cotton mills, and
information on demand and quantity
of cotton offerings. McLure says
many farmers use this information
as a guide for selling cotton.
The Gade and Staple Report, is
sued twice a month during the main
cotton marketing season, shows pro
duction and quality trends, Ioca'ly on
a state basis.
Prices and average grae of cotton
seed by individual counties as well as
averages for cotton districta and the
state are reported in the Weekly Cot
tonseed Review along with data on
the movement and consumption of
cottonseed.
At Home On The Farm
Wih
The City Cousin
I've been fooled before, but never
like this!
No telling how long I would have
labored under false impressions about
farming in North Carolina and in
general if I hadn't run across that
little book.
It's a brilliantly conceived piece of
work that looks like one of those vest-
pocket dictionaries you see adver
tised. Although it does contain a de
finition here and there, it is really the
1947 Handbook for Agricultural)
Workers prepared by the State Col
lege Extensionftervice, and, to sta..ip
out a new idiom, there is .lore there
than first met the eye of this City
Cousin when he planked down a dol
lar for his copy.
Did I hear you say "Information,
Please?" Well, you've got the right
number! You can quit trying to find
out what to plant in your "Peace Garj
den" b' ti-.ver. March 1 and IB, and if
you still want to know what to do for
chickens that are drooping from As
pergillosis, Lronchitis, andor Laryn
ogotracheitis well, I've got the dope
right here in my little manual that
tells me everything but the weather
forecast for next Easter Sunday.
Little did I suspicion before read
ing this "Fanner's Best Seller" non
fiction that is, suh that my Country
Cousin must be something of a chem
ist, biologist, engineer and all-round
Medicine Man rolled into one. (This
presuppose.. Micherly, that he is alt
ready .ah astrologer, a lawyer, and a
clairvoyant).
"Things Every Successful Farmer
Should Know" might well be the title
of this five-foot shelf of reference
books boiled to a neat 151 pages of
data pertinent to this state. (I don't
suppose it would take an ounce more
of quicklime to whitewash a shed in
Maryland than it would down here
depending upon how dirty the shed
was but you get the idea).
Should the farmer care to know
how many acres a machine will cover,
he can save himself p. lot of time and
gasoline by using the formula of page
21. No more jumping on the thing
and running around the farm like mad
with a stop watch in one hand and
the accelerator in the other. Just
look on page 21.
Besides learning what the Tar Heel
farmers should know about forty
seven different field crops that thrive
here, you'd be amazed at what I could
do on the farm with the electricity
consumed in a city apartment in one
