This is 86 pounds or 24 per cent be low the 1952 cotton yield and 19 per cent below the ten-year average yield.

C Phone 3721 It's In Ilia Vzz'x What Do Too Know About Motor Vehicle wttmmmm If I have an automobile accident, fflust I report it to the Department of Motor Vehicles? v - '.., S.P,--Oakdale In, most cases, yes. The Motor Ve hicle Manual states you must make a written report to DMV if you are involved in an accident resulting in death, injury or property damage in. the amount of SlOO or more. This re port must be filed within 24 hours af ter the collision. This isnt to be con fused with another regulation which requires you to notify immediately the State Highway Patrol or local police in the event of a wreck. Use Materials On Hand For Holiday Decorations Give your home a festive appear ance by using evergreens, berries, seed pods and pine cones that you 1 have on hand, suggests Pauline Gor don, State College extension specia list in housing and house furnishings. have in abundance and cost no money ' will add greatly to the charm of your home. "However," cautions Miss Gor don, "do not injure a tree by cutting it for decoration prune carefully small sprays of evergreens." Miss Gordon says that the Christ mas tree whether large or small should be the center of the decora tions. Place your tree in front of a window, so that its bright, cheerful glow can be seen from within and without. Decorate your tree with balls of red, silver, blue and green, strands of popcorn and various decorations that are saved from year to year. And be sure to hang a rope of ever greens, a spray or wreath on your front door it will signify" to many who pass your home that you are celebrating this joyous season. A rope of evergreens requires four or five yards of rope. The place you plan to use it will determine the length. Other materials needed are: Short lengths of wire (about 15 to 18 inches) ; short sprays of evergreen; balls, bows, red berries or bells. Place a bunch of evergreen against the rope and fasten in place with wire. Repeat until the rope has been com pletely covered. Rrape the rone over your door frame, mantel or along the stair rail. Locate spots where an ad ditional decoration like berries, balls or bells would be' effective and then wire into the decoration. Typhoid In Poultry Hard To Eradicate When typhoid strikes your poultry flock there isnt much you can do but kill the carriers and sell the remain ing birds for meat, according to R. S. Dearstyne, head of the Department of Poultry Science at N. C. State College. Dearstyne .says typhoid is one of; the most destructive of all poultry di seases and that mortality runs "very ; high" in flocks that have suffered at tacks. Many different types of medication are suggested as treatment, but Dear styne says results' are not always good. Often the flock owner will think he has licked the disease, when actually he has only arrested it "Birds making a recovery as far as external symptoms are concerned, may later become carriers of the in fection. These carriers eliminate the tiny typhoid germs through the drop pings and through discharges from the mount. This tends to perpetuate the disease on the premises." Dearstyne suggests: (1) That in fested birds be burned or buried deep ly. (2) That the remainder of the flock be sold immediately for meat. (3) Followed by a thorough cleaning and disinfecting of the poultry house and equipment (4) Ranges on which the birds have been running should be plowed deeply. Only after several months is it safe to start another flock on the same ground. Balky ::' Mother: Billy's just like a furnace when it comes to practicing the piano.
