vii, states Director B. w. Kilgore
of the North Carolina Extension
Service. DR.. Kilgore summarizes
these things as follows:
Pay up all possible back
debts.
2-Put aside enough money to
buy fertilizers for cash. The diff
ference between time and cash
prices is too great not to do this.
3-Reserve enough cash to buy
supplies, tools, and equipment for
producing crops during the COM
ing season.
These three things" :" says DR..
Kilgore, will put the farmer
largely on a cash basis, and If
food and feed crops, meat, milk,
and butter are produced in suffi-
cient quantity for the farm, the
money crops, whether they be
large or small, will be real money
crops"
DR.. Kilgore has written p
special letter to every farm and
home demonstration agent asking
them to bring this matter to the
attention of their cooperating
farmers and endeavor to get the
thought into action. He says,
Because it is the wise thing to
do and because the boil weevil is
now present over all the cotton
growing area and will probably
do severe damage this year, it is
felt that the money received from
the good crops Of the past year
should be made to count in the
largest possible way as insurance
for the future. This is a good
time to get farming operations in
North Carolina on a cash basis
and the three things outlined
should be done without fail. ~

way in which Jim tried not to show he

Rialto-" Three Weeks"

Elinor Glyn's Three Weeks"
which the London censors insist shall
be called THE Romance OF Queen"
when shown in the capital of the
British Empire. continues for sec
ond week at Moore's Rialto Theater
here AS directed by Alan Crosland,
this production is highly artistic,
with some of the most beautiful! set
tings ever shown here. The massive
dignity of the throne room, with the
puny king at the foot of the long
flight of stairs; the moonlit gardens
of the Swiss hotel. the delicate
beauty of the Venetian balcony, all
enhanced the fantastic. dreamlike
quality of the picture, lifting an
otherwise morbidly sensuous story
almost into a poem of poignant
warnings fulfilled in the light of a
ChaSte moon.
Aiiecn Pringle is ideal as the un-
fortunate queen and Conrad Maggie
fine as the adoring young English
man. John Sainpolis gives realis-
tic portrayal of the philandering,
wine-sotted king. The others in the

but are prevented by old Pedro, who
stabs his wife and then falls dead at
her feet. Juan, who was on the verge
of casting honor and career to the

An excellent cast includes William

Macdonald and Claire MacDowell:
The acting is excellent, but some of
