unnecessary today as in the
Eighties.
For it is not the work that
hands do which makes them
rough and rcd-it is the soap
used in the work.
You wouldn't dream OF
washing your hands with harsh
soap. Yet that is exactly what
you do when you use such
soap for dishwashing and
clothes washing.
Ifyou will change to Ivory
for these purposes, you will
never have to worry again.

Ladies of the SOS! What
quaint clothes they wore! But
they were oh, so careful about
their hands-hands were a
confession" if they showed
signs of housework.
Today matters are different.
Clothes are far simpler, far
more beautiful. And busy
hands, capably performing a
dozen different tasks each day,
are an important factor in the
modern woman'S charm.
But never red, roughened
hands! Such hands are still a

BOONE TEAM DEFEATS
NORTH WILKESBORO TWINS

The North Wilkesboro baseball
team blew into town last Tuesday
full Of confidence, expecting to give
our local team a severe trouncing as
they had licked them in their own
back yard to tune of II to 8. This
game however was a much better
one from the local standpoint, the
final score being to 2 in favor of
Boone. r.
1t was pitchers battle between
Higgins Of the Twins and Jenkins of
the locals up to the sixth inning. At
this stage of the game Higgins was
jerked in favor of Reins their big
speed ball artist. Our boys fell upon
his offerings and coupled with his
wildness pushed over four runs be-
fore the side could be retired.
The feature Of the game was the
heavy hitting Of the entire Boone
team led by their flashy short stop
Bare, with four clean hits, including
four bagger and the alright twirl-
ing Of Jenkins.

'WESTLOOKST TO
MORE ROAD WORK
State Will Concrete Highway No. 60
Through Boone and West
ward into Tennessee

! Sparta, July 2.-Captain C. s.
Currier, seventh district highway en-
glneer, stated here tday that his for
ces are ready to go to work laying
paving through the town of Boone
just as soon as the city commission
ers of that town install sewer and
water lines. The town of Boone. it
is understood, now has bond issue
obligation of upwards of 10000
for the purpose of giving the town
an up-to-date system of waterworks
and sewer lines.
Of interest also to residents of
that section of northwest North
Carolina is the statement made to-
day by Captain Currier that his road
forces will soon start the laying of
tarvla on the gravel surface of the
Boone Blowing-Rock highway and as
soon as that is finished the highway
from Boone city limits to the Ten
nessee state line will be treated with
a like covering of material.
The seventh district engineers
work on the Boone Blowing Rock
highway has been the subject of wide
comment of favorable nature and
chief engineers from Georgia who
visited North Carolina to get a first
hand idea of this states road work,
complimented both the Blowing Rock
road and the one leading from Boone
to the Tennessee line The latter has
been constructed some time and it
has been withstanding the heavy
mountain traffic well, being in fine
condition at the present time. A coat
of tarvia for both roads will insure
their permanency.

ted to be the desire of the General
Motors Corporation to enter the mo-
tor bus and taxicab manufacturing
field, the Tribune continues.
Yellow manufacturing shares sold
around SAG in the stock market yes
terday, on, which basis it's 100000
shares would represent around $27,-
100000. General Motors common
sold above $83. The respective mar
ket prices gave rise to opinion in fl
nancial circles that General Motors
would give an share of it's stock for
somewhere between one and halt

turing.

The Bible is our only standard Of

"If evolution wins, Christianity

agement and must be considered as
any other educational work would be
considered. To be open minded with a
desire to learn is conceded to be the
foundation of an education. My work
ac county agent in Watauga has fail
ed or succeeded according as it has
First, caused the farmers to become
interested in the problems of proper
crops, proper methods and proper
handling. Second, given the farmers
instruction and demonstrations that
will, if given time, tend to produce
better economic and social conditions
The method of teaching is by the
use of demonstrations. I am not a
demonstration but a demonstration a.
gent and it is my work to find farm
ers who are wiling to demonstrate
some practice so that the whole pop
ulation can see it. My work is not
for the individual who does the work
any more than for his neighbor
On coming to the county three
years ago, found of course, no work
upon which to base plans or methods.
A great deal of experimental work
with crops and folks had to be done
(and much is yet to be done) before
a great deal of constructive progress
could be made. l first started with
potatoes and gradually added other
things, either as demonstrations or
experiments, until am now carrying
on twenty three lines of work.
1t will be impossible in a short re-
port to discuss with thoroughness all
of these lines of work. l shall there
fore say only few words about each
but am ready at any time to give
further information to any who are
interested. It should be remembered
however that the object of this work
Ia to- reach the masses Of the folks
and is not intended to be confined
to those with whom the demonstra-;
tions are conducted. No statistics can
be available as to the numbe influ-
enced by each demonstration.
Since the work of county agent
began with potatoes it is logical to
begin this report in the same way.
The need was for better quality and
larger, yield. This was best attained
through an effort to produce certi-
fled seed and thereby being able to
direct more attention to the quality
of seed planted, proper treatment,
cultivation and grading. Whether
this work has been successful in caus
ing farmers, those who are not grow
ing seed as well as those who are,
to give more attention to these things
the members of the Board are in a
position to say. 1t is also the object
of this work to assist the farmers
in developing commercial crop in
seed potatoes. Seed from this county
planted in eastern Carolina, have
during the last two years, given an
average of IL per cent better yield
than seed coming from northern
states. have this morning received

| a letter from Elizabeth City, the cen
ter OF the potato growing industry in
eastern Carolina, stating that the in
dications are that our potatoes will
make a favorable comparison again
this year. l have a letter from Row.
an county which says, 81 have met
up with number of farmers that
planted of your seed in the spring
and the reports all agreed in one
particular, namely, that the crop of
Cobblers they are now digging is the
most uniform that they have ever
grown and the yield is highly satis-
factory, Notwithstanding one of the
driest spring seasons ever known in
many years" We also have a letter
from Georgia which states: "This car
of potatoes was the incest which we
have ever seen, and this has been the
expression of every man out of the
200 who bougt these seed potatoes I"
Another letter from Mount Olive
says: "Mr S. l. Warren, Manager
of the East Carolina Produce Ex-
change, asked me to find if your
association would now make a con-
tract with him for 1 900 bags of your
Seed Cobbler potatoes for delivery
next December or January. He said
he would be willing to contract for
that many bags delivered at Mount
Olive" and so on. From all of our
shipments we have had only one
grower complain as to the results
obtained.
The handling of these potatoes has
necessarily been expensive because
Of inadequate storing facilities and
machinery for handling. However in
spite of these severe handicaps and
thes fact that the business was new
and the seed had to be introduced
the 1922 crop netted the farmers
81 per bashel, the 1928 crop $1.67,
{counting the SC set aside for opera
ting capitaD and the 1924 crop will
net the farmers as soon as all bills
are cillected $.72. Present indications
are that the 1925 crop will be as good
or better than the crop of 1928. All
price averages for potatoes must be
eonsi sidered by taking two years to-
gether as the price fluctuates from
year to year with great regularity.
All of the above indicates the pos
sibilities of developing large bust
ness growing seed potatoes but wheth
er or nat the seed business develops,
the attention directed toward the po-
tato crop and the results obtained
viii multiply the potato business in
the county. This year we will start
shipping eating potatoes, to southern
markets. Dealers are already lined
up. ~-
In connection with the potato work
it is logical to mention freight rates
l have made two trips to Washington
two~to johnson City and have writ
ten countless letters in an effort to
obtain more equitable freight rates
from Boone to cities where we should
likely sell our potatoes and other
rcops. These efforts have been sue
cessful in most cases so that we now
have freight rate to most cities in
