Two Sales in March of Reg.

Arrangements have just been
made with the National Poland
China Record Association for
holding two purebred Poland
China hog sales in North Carolina
The first sale will be held at
Statesville March, 6 and the sec.
ond at Raleigh, March g.
The hogs in these sales will be
from some of the best hords in
the middle west, and as the field
representative of the Association
has agreed that only strictly high.
class hogs will be allowed in the
sale, this is said to be a good op.
portunity for North Carolina
breeders to add some new blood
About 40 head of hogs will be
included in each sale, consisting
of breed gifts and sows, service
boars and young pigs. Persons
desiring further information con-
cerning these sales may write

PLAN HOME GARDEN

THE we'll planned home gar
deni is the one that produces the
most food and its easier to care
for too" This is the opinion of
home gardeners who know from
experience that it pays to plan
before they plant.
Success with the home garden
means more than is often realiz-
ed even by the home gardener.
Here are some things the home
garden does.
l. Supplies cheaper food.
2. Furnishes fresher, better
tasting food.
3. Saves transportation.
A. Makes it possible to utilize
spare moments.
5. Supplies a greater variety
of food.
6. Means more health for the
family, for the body needs fresh
vegetables and fruit.
Z. Furnishes food on a mom-
ent's notice.
s. Makes it easier for the
housewife to prepare meals.
9. Helps to educate the child
rem, and keeps them interested at
home.
10. Means better meals next
winter when the garden surplus
is canned at home.
The we'll kept home garden is
said to be the exception where
the principal crop is cotton, and,
even in sections where CONNER
cial vegetable production is the
main industry, there is scarcity
of fresh vegetables during a part
of the year. A we'll cared for
home garden yields larger re-
turns than any area of the same
size planted to the usual farm
crops, according to persons who
have studied home gardening.
Plans for the home garden
that will make it more productive
are contained in two publications
sent out by the Agricultural Ex-
tension Service, Raleigh. Ask
for Extension circular 43, or U.
S. Farmers Bulletin 934. They
will be sent, postage free, while
the supply lasts.

FRANK P. SHIELDS

When Frank P. Shields died
suddenly at his home in Scotland
Neck, the community in
which he lived lost a fine citi.
zen and the North Carolina Cot
ton Association one of its best
friends and most ardent sup
porters and workers. His co.
workers and fellow-officers of
the North Carolina Association
feel keenly the loss to the AS
sociation and to the State. Mr..
Shields was a good citizen in
every sense of the word. Though
often misapplied, the term
good citizenship" found a
shining mark when it was con-
nected with the name of Frank
P. Shields, for he was interested
in every movement looking to
the betterment of his community,
the uplift of the State, and the
general improvement of the peo-
pie among whom he worked and
with whom he lived.
Few cases worthy of a busy
mans attention knocked at the
doors of Frank P. Shields COM
munity that did not find him
ready and willing to take time
from his personal affairs to aid
in the cause. When the Ameri-
can Cotton Association, through
the temporary organization in
North Carolina, appealed to Hall
| fax County for work and leader
ship there, Mr.. Shields met the
request with a type of work that
was at once the encouragement
and inspiration of the forces at
State headquarters for the cam
paign. A man of large interests
he felt that the big call of the
Cotton Association for the bet
terment of the working and liv-
ing conditions of the Southern
people on the farms was worthy
of the best energy of a busy man,
and he gave his time, money and
energy unstintedly to the Halifax
County Association. His advice,
his example, his boundless ener-
gy and fine spirit will be sorely
missed in the North Carolina
Association. Cotton Facts.

little unpleasant reaction.
