Wise Farm Practice The peanut growers of the nation will hold a referendum next month to decide whether marketing quotas and acreage allotments will be in effect for the next three years. , This is what has been denounced as the "regimentation" of American farmers. It should be noted that a two-thirds vote for quotas and allot ments is necessary before they can go into effect. We are not well advised as to the prospects for peanuts in the next three years, but we are certainly of the opinion that farmers, growing crops in surplus quantities, will be wise if they take proper steps to put into effect marketing quotas and acre age allotments. This applies not on ly to peanuts, but to cotton, wheat and other crops. On A National Basis The Interstate Commerce Commis sion has authorized the Railway Ex press Company to increase its rates, having been satisfied that the Com pany, owned and operated by the railroads, needs the additional rev enue. It is interesting to note that the Commission also directed the Com pany to study the results of the changes authorized and to work out a formula for a single nation-wide scale of express charges, which now differ in the East, South and West.' It is pointed out that the Express Company divides the country into three zones. The Commission, under its approved formula lumps the East and South into a single zone with uniform rates. This leaves the na tion divided into two zones, East and West of the Mississippi River. Save The Soil A knowledge of soil conservation to prevent dust bowls is more import ant to the average American student than arithmetic, declares Clayton aSeagears, New York State Superin tendent of Conservation. One may dispute the correctness of the statement, but if it manages to call attention to the great need of soil conservation, any inaccuracy may be excused. The soil conservation experts have repeatedly given us facts and figures to demonstrate tHe loss of rich earth that takes place every year in the United States. The sociologists and economists have pointed out the vital necessity of maintaining soil productivity if a people or a. nation expects to be pros- -Itonli Carolina vi su RATES: ' JEW ALL SHADES AND STYLES gut?

V . Students And Au Jos 'High, School students in several states will receive instruction in saf ety education covering, Ce-theory and practice of automobile driving. ; In view of the number of accidents that occur on the highways, it is highly important that some intelli gent program be planned to give children an opportunity to learn about safety in connection with ,the operation of automobiles. ' We have no idea of what will be in the program, although we would suggest that driver instruction be provided for all students who expect to drive. This ought to include about everybody in a high school. One of the best things to teach youngsters who plan to operate auto mobiles is the application of courtesy by an automobile driver. There i driver should oe lacmng in tne orain ary practices of courtesy. To put them into effect, which might involve some consideration for the rights of others on the highways, will lower! the toll of death and injuries. State's 4-H Clubs Plan For Achievement WeeW North Carolina's approximately 100,000 4-H Club members, will ob serve National 4-H Achievemen Week November 1-9, according ti L. R. Harrill, State 4-H Club leade for the State College Extension Ser vice. The theme for this year's activi ties, which has been the aim of thest rural youth throughout the year will be "Working Together for Better Home and World Community." The results of efforts in carrying outf this theme will be highlighted during; National 4-H Club Week. Locally, 4-H Clubs throughout North Caro4 lina will recognize members who! have done outstanding work in the projects they have carried this year, Many of the boys and girls who are recognized as project winners at the County Achievement Day programs will be selected as state winners.

To save labor' at rush seasons, -North Carolina farmers should repair ' ' all equipment during- winter months 1 when bther work is practically at a ; j ' stand-still', he said, adding that rainy-- days also provide) an- opportunity, for "catching up" on this maintenance.1. ' All ( farmers spend considerable - time f on chores like feeding : and I ' watering workstookV chickens or hogs, V .;, the specialist said. Labor can be eav-,,"i ; ed on most farms by simply planning " the quickest way to do these chores,.
