ment of this Division. Because of his
experience on the bench, Mr.. Alters

management by reason of his ability

SOPHOMORE BIOLOGY CLASS
The girls of the Sophomore biology
class have been conducting a very
worthwhile study of wild plant life.
They have gathered many wild flow
ers and are organizing them in in
dividual notebooks with the name of
the flower and it's characteristics writ
ten beneath each one.
Several members of the class
brought MOSES and small plants and
fixed an aquarium with "Pete, The
Tramp" small red turtle, as it's oc-
cupant.
The class seems to be enthusiastic
about the project and are gaining
knowledge about the many plants
which they have seen daily, but here
tofore looked upon as weeds.

THERE'S an amazing new
IL motor fuel! 1t protects
as it powers your modern
motor . not gas alone. not
oil alone, but GAS OIL INE!
Fast-hying, precisiOn-fitted,
upper motor parts in to-
days motors require con-
slant fabrication. Without
this fabrication, destructive
friction steals power and
wears down your motor.
GAS OIL INE supplies this
constant fabrication. 1t takes
the place of Old-fashioned
gasoline and top-cylinder oil.
GAS OIL INE is a perfectly
balanced blend of maximum
hi-test Tydol gas and a new,
improved, heat-proOf oil. Get
a full thankful. Do this today
and pay only the very same
price you now pay for old
fashioned gas.

HALL OF FAME
Bertran Maddox
One of the P. H. SIS Seniors who
we'll deserves a place in the Hall of
Fame is none other than Bertran Mad
dox, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. James
Maddox.
"Bert", as she is known to her fell
low classmates, has had a very good
record throughout her school career.
She is an outstanding pupil in her
commercial work. Due to this, she
was chosen as Mr.. Krabill's secretary.
This job she has filled very satisfac-
torily.
Because of her happy disposition
she is liked by everyone that knows
her.
She says that she hasn't a favor
tie study because she likes them all.
She has many hobbies but her fav-
orite one is "Bunnie" raising.
Her only desire when she graduates
is to travel "West" and obtain a posi-
ton as stenographer.
Mrs. Boston
Mrs. Mona Boston, a noted teacher
in the elementary section of P. HI. S.,
has done wonders in establishing in
the minds of the children a vivid pic
ture of the historical setting of our
country. She graduated from POGO
moke High School after having been
educated here since the seventh grade.
Her work had been of such high
grade that she was Immediately Civ
en- permission to begin teaching. At
ter having taught for six and half
years, her career was interrupted by
the World War which necessitated her
services in it's own field.
Mrs. Boston has attended several
summer schools. Among which are
Columbia University, University of
Virginia, and Hopkins University.
Reading is decidedly her favorite
pastime, cooking ranging only second.
Teaching is, of course, her chosen
work though literature holds much
interest for her. Her favorite flower
is the carnation.
The influence and value of Mrs.
Boston's instruction to those who en-
ter higher study of her subjects is
inestimable.

Orphan Chicks Best

Raise your day-old chicks away
from home, if you want them to
grow up to be healthy layers, is
the advice of Ohio research poultry
men. Isolation of young chicks from
older birds, but allowing them use
of range on the experiment station
farm, resulted in a mortality rate
of Sc per cent. In an adjoining pen,
other pullets, Matched from station
eggs but which had been grown to
laying age away from the station,
had mortality rate of only "a per
cent. This experiment caused the
Ohio scientists to point out "the
need for new phase of specializa-
ton in poultry raising, the produc-
ton of livable ready-to-lay pullets.
The brooding of chicks and the
growth of pullets in the future may
largely become commercial en-
terprise in the hands Of specialists"

CORN IN SILO is A
GOOD WINTER FEED
Crop Makes More Succulent
Roughage Per Acre.

BY F. r. Farnham, Dairy Specialist, North
Carolina State Colege.-WNU Service.
Comparatively few farmers take
full advantage of their corn crop in
producing feed for winter consump-
ton. Corn made into silage pro-
ouces more succulent roughage per
acre than any other known crop.
The trench silo is the very thing
for small farms where large up
right silos would be impractical.
Trench silos, inexpensive and con-
venient, are also being used more
and more on farms where large
herds are kept.
There is a growing tendency to-
ward silage in preference to dry
hays. Unfavorable weather at har-
vesting time is less serious for 81
lage than when hay is being cut
and cured.
Silage is succulent and keeps cat
tie in good condition through the
winter. Silage production requires
less acreage and, therefore, permits
the use of soil-building crops, on land
that would otherwise be needed for
growing hay.
The construction of a trench silo
is fairly simple. A narrow trench
should be dug on farms where only
a few animals are to be fed. A
cheap roof placed over the silo will
help protect the feed from bad
weather and keeps the walls from
caving in.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

There are, as a rule, ten eggs to
a pound.
A total of 5,O35 900 motor vehicles
of various descriptions are used on
the farms of the United States.
A good orchard fertilizer contains
readily available nitrogen. Nitrate
of soda, sulphate of ammonia, and
cyanamid are common forms that
meet this requirement.
Canada was the leading exporter
of honey to the British Isles in 1885.
A cellar with dirt floor is bet
ter for potato storage than one with
a cement floor.
The 1887 lamb crop is estimated
by the bureau of agricultural eco.
nomics at nearly 100000 head.
Eggs whip to larger volume and
beat more rapidly if they are at
room temperature than when they
are chilled.
