WHITE CHURCH
SELLS TO NEGROES

NEW YORK CITY lANP) The
influx Of Negroes into the neigh
borhood caused the officers of the
Church Of the Puritans, at West
180th Street east Of Fifth Avenue,
to sell the edifice to a Negro con-
gregation of a sister communion, 2
according to an announcement on
Wednesday BY the Rev. Theodore
Savage, secretary of the Presby-
terry of New York.
The purchaser was not named
nor was the price disclosed, these
announcements being withheld I'M
til the sale is actually consumated.
It is reported, however, that the
purchase price viii be well below
the mortgage on the church build
iEg at the present time.
The neighborhood is now almost
100 percent Negro. For some time
it looked as if one of our Presby-
terian organizations could use the
edifice but this did not go through.
The church has been pastorless
for some years and according to
the clerk Of the church, John S.
Gray it was the wish of the mem
bership several years ago, with the
coming of the first Negroes into
the neighborhood, to disband. The
building is sixty years old but ac-
cording to the trustees sis in good
condition"

dealt with a variety of fundamental
problems of agriculture in its broad
est aspects" as required by the act.
In naming the Chief of the Office
of Experiment Stations as also Direc-
tor of Research for the department,
the Secretary of Agriculture said:
The increased emphasis now being
given to the regional approach to
major research problems indicates the
necessity of having a central author
ity in the department to promote CO.
operation in the planning and coor-
dination of research, both within the
department and with the states and
other agencies participating in agri-
cultural research
The Office of Experiment Stations
continued to administer the Hatch,
Adams, and Purnell funds for state

DRY AFTERNOON IS
BEST TO KILL HOGS
Temperature Should BE
Around % to 40 Degrees,
Expert Says

College Station, Raleigh, Nov. 10
The ideal time for butchering hogs
is on a dry afternoon when the tenn
perature is around % to 40 degrees
fahrenheit.
On colder days, said r. E. Nance,
professor of animal husbandry at
State College, the job is too disagree
able and there is danger of the meat
freezing.
Give the hogs plenty of fresh water
to drink, but keep them off feed for
"a hours before slaughtering, he said.
Water for scalding the animals, after
they have been killed, should have a
temperature of $50 degrees.
Where thermometers are not avail
able, he continued, the temperature
may be tested by dipping a finger
quickly into the water. If it burns
badly the first time, it is too hot. If
ones finger can be dipped in and out
more than three times in rapid sue
cession, the water is too cold.
A vat is the most satisfactory YES
sci in which to scald the hogs, though
barrel may be used where only one
or two hogh of medium size are to
be dressed.
The porkers can best be cleaned and
scraped, after scalding, by placing
them on a table or platform three or
feet wide and II to 18 inches high.
When the animals have been scrap
ed, Nance continued. they should be
split down the center of their back
bones, with the leaf fat being loos-
ened from the lower end of the ribs
Then hang the half carcases in the
smoke house to chill over night, but
be sure the meat will not freeze.
The next morning, cut up the meat
as neatly and smoothly as possible
Trim each piece closely, as ragged
edges and too much fat lower the
value of the cured product and pro-
vide hiding places for meat insects

CROP INSURANCE IS
FAvOREDB BY SCHAUB
Storing of Surplus for
Times of Scarcity Will
Help Both Ways

College Station, Raleigh, Dec TO-
A system of storing excess agricul-
tural commodities in times of plenty
so they will be available in times of
scarcity is seen as having great pos
sibilities for both producers and con-
sumers.
Such a form of crop insurance
would tend to stabilize prices and
keep the supplies in line with demand
according to information sent Dean L
o. Schaub, of State College, by the u
S. Department of Agriculture
This is not considered a complete
substitute for other measures, the
dean explained, but it may prove to
be one more aid in strengthening the
general farm program.
In bumper crop years, farmers
could pay their insurance premiums
by placing heir excess production in
storage. Then in learn years, they
would receive the stored commodities
as payments on their loses.
The Department eff Agriculture has
been Investigating the possibilities OF
this form of corp insurance for cot
ton, corn, whe at, and it may be ap.
piled to other crops.
However, it is thought that at first
experiments should be made on e
moderate scale with one or two crops
Wheat may be the first crop tried
as it can be stored satisfactorily anc
as wheat growers appear to be the
most eager to try this form of cror
| insurance, il was stated.
Henry a. Wallace, Secretary of Ag
riculture, said: The Department.
studies indicate the possibility for all
risk crop insurance, covering a per
centage of individual farmers aver
age Yields over a period of years
Participation in the plan would be
optional. Premiums on given farm
would be based ON the loss experience
on that farm over period of years.

The Office examined and recorded
during the year 818 new or revised
formal cooperative agreements be-
tween bureaus of the department and
the experiment stations, the agree
ments covering 731 major research
undertakings. All of the experiment
stations and all but one of the depart
ment's research bureau participated
in one or more of these formal COOP
erative agreements. There were also
many informal cooperative under

Recreation Gives
Rich Returns, 4-H
Groups Are Told

College Station, Raleigh, Dec. TO-
"Recreation is not synonymous with
amusement and entertainment.
Recreation is self-expression. 1t
comes from within, in most cases it
must be shared with others, and it re-
quires active participation by those
who enjoy it.
Work may be recreation, all de-
pending upon the persons mental at
titude,' said w. P. Jackson, field Sec
rotary of the National Recreation As
ISOLATION, who is holding recreational
institutes for All club leaders in sew
eral North Carolina counties.
The purpose of the Institutes, he
said, is to teach the leaders more a.
bout home and community recrea-
ton, so they can go back. to their
homes and their clubs and teach it to
others.
Rural people, especially boys and
girls, need recreation to brighten
their lives and make farm life more
attractive.
Boys and girls whose home life ON
the farm is made more pleasant by
enjoyable things to which they may
look forward from time to time are
not nearly so likely to head for the
cities when they grow up as are young
people whose conception of farm life
| is just a long, unbroken round of
drudgery."
Recreation Institutes have been held
in Winton, Fayetteville, and Kinston,
and one will be held in Charlotte on
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and
Friday of this week. Another will be
held in Polk County the last week in
December.
Jackson will attend the annual con-
ference of State College extension SER
vice workers, to be held at the college
December 1918, where he will discuss
recreational work in it's relation to
rural people.
The Institutes are being conducted
jointly by the National Recreation
Association and the State College ex-
tension service.

NEW TYPE SILO is
HIGHLY DESIRABLE
Two Person County Farmers Expert
ment With Equipment and
Like It Very Much

Roxboro, Dec. 1o-Two Person
| county farmers, trying out a type OF
/ silo new to this part of the State, say
they like it better than any other they
have ever seen.
The farmers, w. D. and Sam Full
cher, who live near Leasburg, are
particularly impressed with the con-
venience and low cost of their new
silo, said H. K. Sanders, county agent
| of the State College extension serv-
ice.
It consists of wooden Stats woven
together with wire and lined on the
inside with heavy paper. The Stats
are made into four sections the shape
of a cylinder.
When one section is filled with
enlsilage, another is placed on top of
it and filled too. This is repeated I'M
til all the ensilage is put in storage.
more than four sections can be used
if desired.
The states are four to five inches
wide, IL inch thick, and four feet
long. The size of the Stats and the
diameter of the cylinder into which
| they are woven can be changed to
suit the individual requirements of
different farmers, Sanders pointed
out.
This type silo, which has given
good results in the northwestern
States, costs only a fraction of the
amount it takes to construct hollow
tile, concrete, or regular wooden stave
silo, Sanders said.
Some people believe this type of silo
will replace the trench silo, which has
been growing in popularity recently,
Sanders added. However, that is
question to be determined largely by
the preference Of individual farmers.

few weeks.
Bum expects to lose about 20 per-
cent of the potatoes in curing and in
damage, which is normally to be ex-
pected. This will leave him around
430 or 435 bushels to sell.
Even at the low price of IS cents a
