INADEQUATE LIME Soils authorities are becoming more concerned with the failure of farmers to lime their soils ade quately. Experiments show that every dollar spent for lime returns a profit of three to seven dollars to the farmer. A profit of 300 to 700 percent is not only good but almost unbelievable and any good businessman, or woman, would welcome the opportunity to get such a return on his investment While liming is profitable, only OCRACOKE PERSONALS The Ocracoke Civic Club will hold its March meeting on Mon day night, March 14.

Why should the general public be con cerned? It’s simply this. Lime stone is calcium and magnesium in carbonate form. While benefit ing the farmer in higher yields, it also prrduces more nutritious food and fibre containing more calcium, magnesium and other elements. • « When you talk to any. truck salesman Make him < ■■ How can you tell if it’s a short- HB stroke engine?

NEW GUIDE ISSUED TO NORTH CAROLINA A new guide to North Carolina is scheduled for publication in April by the University of North Carolina Press at Chapel Hill. The new book, with 640 pages, 16 maps and many illustrations, presents a current and compre hensive picture of the leading in dustrial state in the Southeast and one of the South’s most visited vacationlands. It is the first complete North Carolina guide book since publi cation in 1937 of “North Carolina, A Guide to the Old North State”, which was one of the outstanding volumes in the American Guide Series. This new guide follows the pat tern of the old in presenting in formation both in terms of indi vidual cities and in terms of road tours, of which there are 24. The tours are designed to fit the pres ent expanded road network of the state and to serve both the out-of state traveller going through the state and the North Carolinian visiting new sections of his own state. The most outwardly spectacular recent development in the State, as revealed in the 1955 Guide, is the tremendous increase in North Carolina’s recreational facilities — from the continued development of the Great Smoky Mountains Na tional Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway, through the various new state parks and the winter re sorts of the Sandhills to new coastal playgrounds on the banks and beaches. Along with this has come an enlivened sense of North Carolina’s history, best exempli fied in such major restoration pro jects as Tryon’s Palace and Old Salem. And within the widening horizons in all sections of the state are new and expanded indus tries, modern functional buildings, new residential and business areas, schools, and hospitals.
