WHEAT CROPS CUT
TO AID GROWERS
Reduced Acreage Councils
Plan of Solving Produc-
ton Problem.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associa led Press.
CHICAGO, November 1S.-Gradual
reduction in the wheat acreage Of
the United States from 62.000.o00 at
present to 50,000,000 should be
brought about as major step in the
solution of the wheat production
problem. the production committee of
the Wheat Council of the United
States has decided, according to an
announcement by President Sydney
Anderson.
The lower acreage is sufficient to
meet domestic requirements, and
should be brought about as soon as
alternative crops can be introduced,
the announcement said.
At the same time the production
committee decided that steps should
be taken to esta blish a permanently
broadened domestic market for
wheat, which it holds is an essential
part of the plan for sterilization of
the business Of wheat growing.

Boil Rot Causing Damage to Cotton.

"Anthracnose. or boil rot, is again
the state" says Franklin Sherman,
chief entomologist for the department
of agriculture, in report issued here.
This disease" the report continues,
occurs in every part of the state
where cotton is grown and causes
more or less damage every year, but
from reports received by the ayricul.
tural department, it is indicated that
the damage is more severe this year
than usual in the edges of Wake,
Johnston, Nash and Edgecombs coun.
ties"
The anthracnose may be distin.
guished by small reddish dots On the
cotton bolls These spots increase in
size, reaching a diameter of an inch
or more and sometimes uniting with
other spots until the whole boil is GOV.
cred Wherever the boil rot occurs
it does some damage, no matter how
little the plant is affected. If il is
there, it will cause more or less
damage"
Mr.. Sherman says that there Is moth.
ing that can be done to combat the
disease this year, but that steps to-
wards preventing its encroachment
next year can and should be taken.
He suggested that the following rules
be observed
DO not plant cotton next year on
fields that have been infested this
year The fungus may live a year in
the soil. thus forming a source OF in.
fection for next years planting.
BE careful In selecting seed for
next years crop. II possible secure
these seed from fields that were not
infected this year and do not secure
seeds from any field that had An in.
fection of over 10 per cent this year.
"a proper use of the crop rotation
system and care in selection of seed
will do much to check the spread
Of anthracnose and will soon rid any
section OF the disease" Mr.. Sherman
concluded.

Msps Give Good AdvIes.

Over 10000 maps of North Carolina's
highway system giving distances be-
tween county seats have been dis
tributed during the past three months
by the state highway commission, II
was announced at the commission's .
offices. A new lot of revised maps
are now available at the highway
commissions offices and can be had
for the asking if they are not to be
used for advertising purposes, in
which case nominal charge is made.
New map plates are being made and
| it Is expected that the highway COM
mission will distribute over 100000
prints.
The latest batch of the state high
way maps bear the following advice
to automobile drivers:
Did you ever stop to think:
THAT safety first is good slo.
gan.
THAT it is better to be safe than
sorry.
THAT a little carelessness often
causes accidents that a lifetime can
not repair An ounce of prevention
is worth a pound Of cure
THAT people are killed at railroad
crossings every day because they take
a chance and forget safety.
THAT a majority of people killed
at railroad crossings are occupants OF
automobiles.
That a railroad crossing is a place
of danger where no chances should be
taken.
That when you are approaching
a railroad crossing slow down or
make a full stop.
That under no circumstances
should you proceed until you have
made sure that no train is approach
ing from either direction.
THAT if train is approaching
wait until 1t passes by, do not at
tempt to cross ahead of it.
THAT you should not try to beat
train to crossing.
You can't always do it.
THAT If you are IN a hurry, cut
out the hurry and play safety first.
That you should not try to blow
train off the track with your horn.
It can't be done!"

and San Francisco and delivered up
their burdens of letters.
Since Tuesday, the airplanes have
roared across the continent, spanning
the country eight times in less than
five days, four times from east to
west and four times from west to
east, in testing the feasibility of car
rying mail between the Atlantic and
Pacific by continuous air flight.
The planes operated on definite
schedule of a little over "a hours with
out an accident and in relaying the
mail flew at night over lighted air
way from Chicago to Cheyenne. Pos
tai officials declared even before the
tests were completed that the practi-
cability of the project had been prov
en- and announced that conference
soon will be held to determine the
future Of trans-continental airplane
mail service.
The astbound plane landed at New
York at 11:17 o'clock, having made
the trip from San Francisco in 26
hours and II minutes. three minutes

chambers. Painting of the walls of
the offices in the building will be
undertaken at the convenience Of the
officials. and activities are already un-
der way in the Office Of the State Au-

nouncement of the contemplated re-
pairs. According to Mr. Everett, one
per cent year Is the recognized al
owance for depreciation in such

annual amount set aside to keep the
building in continual state OF repair.

this cocksure type than there are of the nervous. underconffdent variety. This overconf1dence, this cockiness is really the opposite of nervousness and fearsomeness that besets so many business folk.
 Well, isn't it better to be sure of ones self than not sure enough?' asked 6 young woman with whom discussed this subject.
 Yes, indeed. Far be it from me to undervalUe the importance of self confidence. There Is, however, a me- dium between too much cocksureness and a nervous lack of confidence that leads to self-depreciation. It is this middle, point toward which it is best for a business woman to steer.
 A certain amount of humility Is valuable in any walk of life, and particularly in business. Not the fair. honest humility that acknowl- edges that there are some things one does not know; that perhaps one is not quite so valuable as may appear
 Too much cocksureness in business is irritating and retards yorr prog ress almost as much as being too self -effacing. Value yourself, yes. Know your own worth. Set fair value on 1t and live up to it. Do not be afraid to acknowledge that which you do well.

pared is little short of committing deliberate suicide.
 They must have their pretty clothes, and so they spend the hours that should be given to rest and re- taxation, to trimming hats, and fix ing over last winters dress so that their worst enemy won't know 1t, and the needle becomes the last straw that breaks the camers back.
 Everybody says that women haven't the stamina to stand the gaff either if they tried to hold down two jobs at the same time.
 Besides this, the business girl all ways has the family burden on her shoulders Why girl should have any more obligations to her family and be expected to give it any more personal service than a boy nobody knows. She simply has to do it, that's all there Is to it. Johnny may be a husky six-footer, but when he comes home from work mother realizes how tired he must be, and she wants him to rest. She never dreams of asking him to help get dinner. or to- clean off the table, or wash the dishes, or take the baby out for walk.
 Mamie may be little and frail and delicate. Her hours are just as long as Johnny's, and her work just as hard, but when she comes home weary at night mother has dozen jobs waiting for her, and complains long and bitterly about what an un- dutiful daughter she Is if she won't help with the housework, and look after the young children, and lend hand with the sewing.
 When there Is sickness in the fam fly the business girl is expected to take her share of the nursing, just as much as if she had nothing else to do. When Cousin Jerusha comes to town for a visit she has to squeeze an hour out of her scant leisure to take her shopping, or run her err rands.
 Work is & blanket excuse with men that covers everything they do and leave undone, but women have never get had sense enough to creep under its sheltering folds.
 , Perhaps the reason that women have to double work when they work outside of their own homes Is because nobody takes women's work very seri- ously. And, in particular, their fam flies don't That Is why they feel free to call on them for all the extra jobs they would expect them to do if they had nothing else to do but so-called 'woman's work But 1t explains why women break down. You cant purn the candle at both ends and in the middle, and have 1t last the night.
 If the time ever comes when a woman is content to be just law yer, or a doctor, or a stenographer, and a milliner, and a sick nurse, and a society butterfly at the same time, she'll be able to make the grade all right, and I'll be out of patients, for my office will no longer be thronged with women who have broken down from overwork."
