THE STATE FLOWER? Th* Dogwood
Legend says that during Christ's time, the Dogwood was so
tali and strong, it was chosen to furnish the timber of which
the cross was made. This distressed the tree and Jesus said
to it, "Because of your sympathy for My suffering I promise
you this. Never again will you attain such size that you can
be used as a cross. Also your blossoms shall be In the form
of a cross with two short and two long petals, and at the
outer edge .of each of your petals, in the center," shall be the
print of the nail and in the center of your flower, which shall
appear stained with blood and brown with rust, there shall
bo a crown of thorns."
Gnr friendship ties should never be broken if possi
ble. They grow sweeter and more comforting with
age.
Likewise, your banking connections develope into
fine spirit of understanding and mutual cooperation
that grows stronger with time and experience.

Dear Mr. Harmon:
As there is a <wtain place that
Is said to lie paved vith good In
tentions never carried out; 1 am
trying to fulfill an ir.tention sev
eral weeks old to keep at '.east
one of mine out of the pattern of
that "good Intentions never ful
filled paving."
I wish to congratulate you and
your force on the award recent
ly received as to. the general
make-up of your paper and as to
your editorial page. I am an avid
reader of every North Carolina
paper I get hold of, and the Sea
board and Southern trains crews
bring me many weeklies as well
as dailies, and I am proud to
say that yours is outstanding a
mong the country weeklies. Your
editorial page, in my opinion,
and while very often I disagree
with you, is well written,., fitting,
and always to the point. And I
do not think your local news
coverage could be improved
upon.
Again my congratulations and
with the wish you will continue
to make it what it Is now, one of
the best country weeklies.
Sincerely yours,
Leslie McGinnls.
Mokes Good Yield
With 12 Dnstings
Despite unfavorable weather
and heavy boll weevil attacks in
his section, Nathan Legrand, Ne
gro farmer of Route 1, Mt Gil
ead, produced 2,002 pounds of
seed cotton per acre last year.
According to W. F. Wright, Ne
gro farm agent In Richmond
County for the State College Ex
tension Service, Legrand entered
five acres of his cotton crop in
the State Five-Acre Production
and Quality Contest and did a
good job of following extension
recommendations.
He used Coker 100 wilt resis
tant seed and applied 800 pounds
of 4-10-6 fertilizer and 100 pounds
of nitrogen material per -acre.
One practice to which he devo
ted a great deal of attention was
insect control. He applied ben
zene hexoehlorlde dust six times
with a tractor duster ?t the rate
of eight to 10 pounds per acre.
Six additional applications of
dust were made with an airplane.
Legrand started applying In
secticides early, on June 27 Just
before squaring, and made suc
ceeding applications at intervals
of seven to 10 days.

College Hints To
Farm Homemakers
By Ruth Current
State Home Demonstration Agent
Kitchen Travel ? Don't store
outside the kitchen ? in pantry,
basement, dining room, hack
room, cellarway, milk house or
porch ? hems that are used oft
en In preparation of ihree meals
a day. Shorten your walk dis
tance simply by providing work
space near sink and refrigerator.
Too often equipment la isolated
from work counters. Many fanv
ilies continue to keep things
where they have always been
kept instead of taking advantage
of possibilities offered by their
kitchens for storing supplies and
equipment within easy reach of
-where they are used.
Paint Protection ? Any paint
can be damaged by strongly al
kaline soap or other cleaners, a
brasive powder, and rubbing,
home management specialists
say. Coarse scouring powder and
strong cleaners remove or rough
en the smooth outer surface of
the paint so that It soils faster
and is more difficult to <. clean.
Strong alkali can weaken and al
so discolor paint.
It is wise to try out any new
cleaning preparation on an in
conspicuous part of the paint
first, carefully following direc
tions that come with It as to how
much and how to use.
In washing paint, It is impor
tant to wash only a small area
at a time and rinse carefully be
fore moving on to another area.
Even a mild soap contains some
alkali that will eventua iy injure
paint If left on it. Directions for
some commercial paint cleaning
preparations suggest that no
rinsing is needed. Yet many are
highly alkaline, say specialists,
and will damage the surface if
left on.
Some cleaning solutions make
the paint soft while It is wet and
then tubbing can damage It.
With such cleaners there may be
less damage from 'leaving a very
little cleaner on the surface than
from rubbing while rinsing. Be
sure to use only t.te amount of
cleaner suggested in the direc
tions. Some of the new deter
gents, like soap, are alkaline;
othefs are slightly acid or neu
tral. They are satisfactory for
washing painted surfaces in the
kitchen or wherever a greasy
film has formed.
