ROOM FOR AsHE COUNTY BOYS

Major A. L. Fletcher, of Raleigh,
in a recent letter to the editor of the
Skyland Post, states that he and
Mrs. Fletcher have a comfortable
room at their home for rent to two
State College boys and that they do
no charge any money for the room,
but exchange it for a few hours
work, per month, in the yard and
garden. Light, heat, and water is
furnished, but the boys furnish their
own linen, towels, etc.
Mr.. Fletcher has no trouble getting
boys to take the room, but he pre-
fers to offer it first to any Ashe boys
who would like to take advantage of
it, and asks that any boys interested
write him in care of the Department
of Labor, Raleigh, N. c. This should
be done at once.

THE DANGER OF WAR IN EUROPE

With civil war in progress throughout
Spain, there has been much in the papers of late
relative to the danger Of another general war
in Europe.
We may be all wrong in our opinion, but we
fail to see how any such dire predictions can be
fulfilled. And here's why:
Mussolini invaded Ethiopia and proceeded to
conquer that nation. The League of Nations told
him that he mustn't do it and he Immediately
told the League to go chase itself, or words to
that effect.
If that wasn't cause for general war; we'd
like to know what it was but there was no
general war.
Hitler strapped the Versailles treaty also the
Locarno pact. He built as many airplanes and
battleships as he wanted and he also sent armed
troops into the Rhineland.
If that wasn't another cause for a general
war, we ask you again; what was it?
If Europe had wanted to fight, she would
have started fighting long time ago, because
she certainly has had ample cause to start hos
tilities. But there has been no general outbreak,
and we don't believe that there will be. At least
not for several years to come

Another protective" plan was
preferred but all seven mothers re-
jected it.
They received letters signed by
Benjamin S. Gore, Bristol, Tenn.
lawyer, offering to finance them for
the duration of the race. He wrote,
he said, on behalf of an undisclosed
client, who would expect Is per cent
of the winnings for his aid.
His purpose, Gore said, was har-
mony.
But acrimony may be costly to the
winner. Millar set no rules for still
births and deaths in infancy-of
which there have been several-or
other complications. Litigation over
several issues may tie up the win
nings.
The Timlecks, for instance, disput-
ing the Kenny claim to leadership,
said: "Al their children must be
registered at the vital statistics office
within 80 days of birth"
'I'll produce the records at the
proper time" Mrs. Kenny responded.
Other hazards bother the "stork
derby" racers. They realize there is
always the possibility of a dark
horse making a strog finish, remem-
boring the Dionne quintuplets.
If Mrs. John Nagle, contestant
with nine children, receives the
judges consideration another issue
looms. Millar offered the prize for
Toronto mothers but several of Mrs.
Nagle's children were born outside
the city and there is doubt whether
they qualify.

Canadian Mothers
Fight for Big Prize
Mother Having Most Children in
= Ten Years Gets Money
According to Will

Canada's $4,000 maternity mara
thon'' which Bachelor Charles Van
Millar started by provision in his
extraordinary will is worrying the
competitors as it nears its October
81 end.
Seven mothers in the 10-year
progeny race have had babies at an
average of about one year during
the decade since Millar's death.
Now, with several of them bunch
ed in the lead, they are concerned
with consolation prizes.
Millar, a lawyer, brewer, and
horseman, left the fortune for the
Toronto mother bearing the most
childen during the decade. But his
will makes no provision for "place
and show" money. Under his terms
the only possibility of two winners
would be a dead heat, in which
event the purse would be split.
SEVERAL OCdCu
Several of the mothers, Therefore
have agreed to share the stake if any
of them wins. Most of them are sex
pecting" and all are chary lest a
multiple birth shift their positions.
But Mrs. Matthew Kenny, tiny
French Canadian wife of an Irish
man, refuses to join pool. Since the
start of the race in 1926 she has had
IL children-including three sets of
twins-and expects more.
Mrs. Kenny figures her brood is
going to be worth about $5,000,000
a Dozen"
Mrs. Arthur Hollis Timleck, moth
er of 10 qualifiers, also is willing to
stand pat on her chances. She and
her husband say the doubt evidence
to substantiate IL births.
Earlier, however, Mrs. Timleck
was party to private share-the-
wealth movement with other en-
trants including Mrs. Steffano OAR
riago, with 10 children, and Mrs.
Ambrose Harrison and Mrs. Gus

FARMS AND GARDENS

county.
Strip-cropping, as explained by
project manager E. G. Jernigan
means the seeding of the regular
farm row crops in long bands be-
tween strips of close growing crops
as nearly on the contour as POSSIBLE
around the slopes instead of ur
and down the hillsides.
Small grains, lespedeza, clover anc
other soil-binding crops serve as E
sort of stop-gap, the close vegetation
retarding the speed of water, spread
ing it out like a sitter, and thereby
minimizing soil erosion, according to
E. c. Blair, extension agronomist al
State College.
Strip-cropping has many advan-
tages over other methods of control
ling erosion, since it can be put into
practice at little cost. It is economi-
cal because long narrow strips re-
quire less labor for cultivation than
square fields of the same area.
The most popular rotation used in
the Arcadia area is Swear system
in which corn is followed by small
grain in the fall, lespedeza seeded
the following spring. The lespedeza
is left on the ground for two years
before another crop of corn is plant
ed.
Strip-cropping works very well
with this type rotation, Blair said.
For example, 9-acre field in lespe-
deza may be ip-cropped as fol-
lows: The field would be marked off
in contour strips go to 80 feet wide.
In the fall wheat would be sown
astride every third contour line, COW
ering approximately half the dis
lance between the upper and lower
line, corn to be planted in the spring
astride the contour line below the
wheat, leaving the strip below in
lespedeza.

ANNOUNCES CHANGES IN
FEDERAL FARM PROGRAM

Farmers who have been set back
by the drouth will find two changes
in the soil-improvement program
especially helpful, according to Dean
I. o. Schaub, of State College.
One change allows them to CLASH
fly as soil-conserving any land seeded
to soil-conserving crops up to Sep
TENDER l, provided no soil-depleting
crops are harvested from it in 1886.
This will enable many growers to
increase their soil-building allow
ance. The allowance, the dean ex-
planned, is not a payment; it is a
figure showing the maximum
amount of soil-building payments a
grower may earn, and is based on
the acreage of soil-conserving crops
This change will also help farmers
meet the minimum requirements for
soil-conserving acreage as well as re-
quirements for new seedlings of soil
conserving crops this year.
In addition, sowed corn, plowed or
disked under, and spring seeded
small grains grown with or immedi-
ately followed by legume will be
counted as soil-conserving this year.
They had been classified as depicting
crops.
The other change permits soil
building payments to be made for
the seeding of perennial grasses, or
growing green manure crops, on land
where there has been a failure of a
legume or perennial grass seeded
earlier in the year.
For example, a producer who
seeded a field to lespedeza or clover,
but failed to get crop, may carry
out additional practice by seeding
alfalfa or turning under a green
manure crop on the same field in
August or September. He would re-
ceive payment for both practices.
However, his soil-building pay
ments could not exceed the maxi
mum amount of his allowance as
determined by his acreage of soil
conserving crops.

The bureau of Agricultural Economics points
out that the farmer at present receives AZ per
cent of the consumers dollar. Somewhere be-
tween the smoke house and the grain bin on the
one hand and the breakfast table on the other,
ffty-eight cents Of the dollar disappears. This is
laid to the increasing tendency on the part of
provision handlers to do work that used to be
carried out on the farm, but we have feeling
that substantial portion of the fiftyeight cents
will be diverted to the place where it belongs
only when due notice is taken of the fact that
farm products have to pass through operations
that call for no other equipment than desk,
telephone, and shrewd head.

NEXT TIME YOU see a fire engine

fire is financial burden on you
and the total cost, accumulated in
the course of a year. amounts to a
substantial sum.
How do you pay for fire? Well,
for one thing, you pay for it in the
cost of maintaining a fire depart
ment, alarm and water facilities, etc.
The money for that comes out of the
taxes you contribute to the public
treasury.
Then you pay for fire in higher in
surance Tates-over a period of
years, any community's rate is pre-
dicted upon the fire loss sustained.
You pay for fire in higher taxes.
If home or factory is burned, prop
erty is removed from the tax rolls.
All other property in the community
must make up the loss.
You pay for fire in destroyed bust
ness. A family loses its home, and
perhaps moves away from town. An
industry burns-and men are thrown
out of work, their purchasing power |
brought suddenly down to zero. !
Everyone feels the effects-the gro
