nedy street between Fourteenth street
and Georgia avenue as a part Of a
plan for direct routing of street cars

Supreme Court procedure took its
usual course early this afternoon. in
dicating no decision in the gold cases
was to be expected Immediately. The
possibility remained, however. that
court could hand down its much
awaited opinion several hours later.
More than the usual number OF
spectators were on hand, but the ten
sion soon was relieved as the court
proceeded at 1915 to routine business.
As the members of the bench took
their seats an attache of the Treas
ury had appeared in the marshals
Office and sought to establish a tele-
phone connection with the Treasury
Building and asked for permission to
keep line open.
This permission was refused.
Court officers told the Official he
might remain in the Office to phone if
he wished later, but that he could not
keep line open.
y Attorneys Admitted.
At the start of the court session
number of attorneys were admitted to
practice there.
Then the court resumed the oral
argument in the New York milk
troll case. begun yesterday.
The schedule was for this to Iro-
coed until 2 o'clock and then a half
hours recess for lunch
While it would be without prece-
dent. the court could. If it desired,
deliver the gold opinion on return
from lunch at 2:30 before continuing
with arguments on other cases.
1t is the rule of the court to ad-
journ its session each DAY at 4;30. If
it chose. it could deliver the gold de-
cision before adjournins for the day.
There are numerous precedents for
delivering opinions after 4:30. In
some informed circles, h1wever. the
court was not expected to hand down
the gold decision before Monday-the
next regular opinion day.
Announcement Unprecedented.
An unprecedented announcement
made by Secretary Morgenthau last
night was interpreted as an attempt
to remove business nervousness lest it

THE WORLD
FOR GOD
"And the Lord had respect to Abel
and to his offering."-Genesis, A.

There are times when we come
under the conviction that the only
sort of prayers that are worthy of
the Heavenly Ear are those which
spring spontaneously from souls
crying aloud under the strain of
great emotion.
Prayer is a potent force in the
affairs of men and is one of the
bridges that takes man to his
Maker ere the life span has been
passed.
Prayer is a great help to the
establishment of friendly relations
on earth.
Prayer" says an old adage,
changes things"
It surely does. The beautiful part
of this fact is that it changes things
for the better. Life is more inviting
when a fellow views it from his
knees. Folks are pleasanter, pros
poets are roster, affairs in general
have a greater appeal, after they
have been taken to God.
Prayer can be a means of convic-
ton. Ask the fellow who has had
to stop praying and make peace
with his enemy before he could
feel that the prayers were "going
through to God" He knows.
Well, why not more of prayer,
more of prayer in general?
In offering our world-ourselves
to God we are making a prayer
that God will honor and respect.
You can learn more about this by
writing a personal letter to this
newspaper or to the nearest Min
lister of the Gospel.

N. C. STATE CONVENTION

Largest Denomination In State To
Hear Many Prominent Men
During Meeting
(By CHAs. H. D1cKEY)

ASHEVILLE, Nov. 4.-The 105th
annual session of the North Caro-
lima Baptist State Convention will
convene in the First Baptist church
of Asheville on next Tuesday, No
vember IL, for a day session, the
concluding program being rendered
on Thursday night, November ii.
AS is this denominations custom,
the Baptist pastors of the state al
ways meet in their annual session

Accordingly, the Baptist pastors of
the state will meet in the same
place on Monday afternoon, No.
vember II, and will carry their
sessions through that afternoon,
that evening, and through Tuesday
morning, adjourning at noon Tues
day afternoon at two o'clock.
The Baptist denomination is the

Urges That Farmers Grow
More SOybeanS

"The crying need of most North
Carolina soils is for more organic
matter.
SOILS need plenty of organic
matter to supply plant food, to
keep them mellow and friable, and
to make crops less subject to
drouth.
"Organic matter helps the soil
absorb moisture and hold it. This
checks erosion in rainy weather
and keeps the land from drying out
rapidly in dry weather.
"Soybeans greatly increase the
organic matter in the soil, when
plowed under, and this is one of
the reasons why recommend that
farmers raise more soybeans," said
c. B. Williams, head of the agron-
omy department at State College.
A good crop of soybeans will
produce from one and a quarter to
two tons of plant material on each
acre. Each ton of soybeans contains
as much nitrogen as 800 pounds of
nitrate of soda or 22O pounds of
sulphate of ammonia.
Or the plants may be cut for hay
and fed to livestock with excellent
results, as attested by animal hus-
bandment at the college. However,
when the crop is cut for hay, they
do not add any nitrogen or organic
matter to the soil.
The beans may be fed to live
stock, but they tend to produce an
oily meat. So it is recommended
that the beans be crushed into meal
with the oil removed. Soybean
meal may be fed without any bad
effects, it was pointed out.
Professor Williams urges grow
ers to save their best seed for
planting next year. If they have a
surplus, they may sell it at a fair
profit to their neighbors.

Timely Farm Questions Answered
At State College

Question: How long does it take
to fatten beef cattle for market?
Answer: Under average condi-
tions, cattle taken from pasture
with no additional feed cannot be
satisfactorily fattened under four
months. Where there is sufficient
feed it is better to feed them out
for four and one-half to five
months. The extra weight and fin
ish will more than pay the feed
cost and the cattle will bring a
premium for the prime finish.
Question: Should turkeys be con-
fined before killing and what is the
shrinkage on dressed turkeys?
Answer: 1t is a good practice to
confine the turkeys for from Is to
"a hours before they are killed.
During this time a liberal supply
of water should be provided but no
feed given. Where turkeys are
dressed but not drawn there will
be about 10 percent loss of feath-
ers and blood. Full-drawn turkeys
lose about Is percent of their live
weight. When the birds are to be
shipped care should be given to
proper packing. See your farm or
home agent for specific instructions
as to killing and packing.
Question: When should breeding
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1935-11-07
hens be selected and mated for flu
ture laying flocks?

mems De selected ana mated Tor 1u-
ture laying focks?
Answer: Breeding hens should be
selected between October l and
January l. Well-bred males should
be selected and mated to these hens
as early as possible. This insures
fertile eggs for early Matching.
Only those hens with a good record
of egg production should be select
ed for the breeding pen and these
should be carefully culled before
final selection. The hens should be
alert and active with a long, deep
body, full breast, and strong,
straight legs set squarely beneath
the body. This indicates health and
vigor which is essential in the
breeding flock.
