Soil Conserving
Pays Farmer

That complete soil conservation
program is practicable and will pay
dividends has been proven on the
farm of E.W. Wagner of the Groome-
town section of Guilford county.
Prior to January, 1885, Wagner's
farm was being worked in truck and
row crops very conducive to erosion
on his sand sloping land. An erosion
control program adaptable to the
farm was worked out, including a
crop rotation plan,strip cropping, re-
tirement of steep land to pastures,
contour furrowing, terracing, and
forest management, all of which
Wagner has been adhering to very
closely.
An area of two and one-haf acres
on a 20 percent slope, set aside for
permanent hay crops, produced 8
tons of hay this past summer, it
was reported by James M. Parks, OF
the Soil Conservation Service.

Says No State Has
as Long Working
Hours for Women

A. L. Fletcher, State labor COM
missioner, announced in Raleigh
this week that North Carolina
should have 40-hour week law for
all manufacturing establishments,
and as a step toward it said he
would ask the 1887 Legislature to
enact 48-hour law.
The commissioner said he also
would ask ratification of the Federal
child labor amendent and enactment
of model child labor law in his
program ssfor labor legislation in line
with the platforms, State and ma
tional, of the Democratic party and
with the recommendation of Presi-
dent Roosevelt"
Fletcher pointed out that North
Carolina did not regulate hours of
work for men over is years of age
and had a 55-hour week and 11-hour
day law for women.
mo State in the Union and no
civilized nation, except Japan, has
as long a legal work day for Wom-
en-" Fletcher said.

Relief Woman
Wants Snuff and
Not Grapefruit

JACKSON, Dec. 5.-Recently Miss
Iris Flythe, Northampton county
welfare superintendent, received 46
barrels of cut-up grapefruit from
Federal chieftains at Washington, D.
c., for distribution this winter to
local sufferers on the relief rolls, and
she admits facing POLLEN by rea-
son thereof. The fact that the gov
eminent grapefruit is above the us
ual standard of living of those re-
ceiving it has occasioned the prob
lem, for since Miss Flythe has COM
menced ladling out the Federal deli
cacy she has had many requests on
how tc prepare s'the darn stuff" It
is no exaggeration to say that many
to whom the fruit was do1ed out to
had never heard of it before.
One woman near here reported
latter billing them things for several
hours they jest weren't fit to eat and
/ had to frow 'em away" and, she
added, IF you is planning to give us
any more, how about a little snuff
instead?" Miss Flythe has appealed
to Raleigh for advice. She doesn't
know what to do.

Slayer of Father
Wants to Work

Edith Maxwell, twice convicted on
a charge of Staying her father, ap-
pealed for a"Christmas present" Sat-
urday-a job.
Less than "a hours after she heard
the voice of a court clerk drum out
40 years in the state penitentiary''
in a suddenly quiet Wise county, Va.
courtroom, the 22-year-old girl, a
former college student and public
school teacher, turned her attention
to the things she said she hoped to
do while her attorneys battled anew
for her permanent freedom.
On a Chesterfield county farm
nearly 400 miles from the little four
room house where her father, Trigg
Maxwell, died a year and half ago,
Miss Maxwell declared she "just
must find work of some kind.
Next to having been acquitted at
my trial that would be the best
Christmas present could get"

the farm, the COW, and the manager.

lower cost of production.
