 After her fathers death in Boston when she was 4, Miss Carlisle and her mother came to Hollywood to live. But there wasn't any thought of movie career until one day when Mary was IA and they were lunching in Universals public res- taurant.
 They had gone there to look at the movie people, but Carl Laemmle, Jr., passed their table and looked at Mary. He said, "This girl has the most angelic face I ever saw. i; I've got to make test of her right away"

But the movie virus had got into her Boston blood, and, when she was 16, Miss Carlisle went to M-G-M for a job. A casting director liked her looks and said, of course you can dancer" She said oh, yes, cer- tainly, she could dance. So he told her to come out two days later and try out for chorus work, and she might get years stock con- tract.
 She rushed home, hired an in- structor, and in a day learned to do the time-step, basic step to tap dancing. At the tryout she lum- bered through this simple routine and was astonished to find herself hired.
 She said, "Of course they soon found out I couldn't dance, so was made a substitute. The girls were always deviling me by say ing they'd turned an ankle and that I'd have to go on for them. I was petrified, but I only had to dance in one picture, and that was just a fash"

Few Changes Are Made. Cotton
Program Reduced. To Have
Potato Goal.

North Carolina farmers who are
planning to take part in the Agri-
cultural Conservation program next
year are giving careful study to
details of the 1888 farm program.
The new parogram will be differ
ent in many respects from pro-
grams of past years, according to
E. Y. Floyd of State College, who
is AAA executive officer in North
Carolina.
It has already received the final
stamp of approval from Henry A.
Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture.
Since it was first announced tanta-
lively September 20, the 1888 pro-
gram has undergone but few altera-
tons.
One of the principal changes has
been a decrease in the cotton goal
for the entire nation. This action
was provoked by the latest U. S.
crop forecast of approximately IT,
100000 bales. Previously, the esti-
mate for 1887 had been placed at
16, 100000 bales.
When the new program was first
announced in September, the lat
est cotton forecast had not been
completed, when AAA officials
learned the lint crop was 100000
larger than they had anticipated,
they went into a huddle and made
adjustments. The revised goal is
q, 100000 to 100000 acres, about
100000 acres below the first an
nounced figures.
Potato goals will also be includ-
ed in the 1898 program. More than
81 per cent of the growers in the
commercial potato producing sec
tions favored acreage sterilization
in a referendum which was con-
cluded during the first part of Oc-
tober.
Payments will be based on the

Questions
And Answers

QUESTION: Should new tobac-
CO plant beds be selected each year?
ANSWER: Experimental work
and observation shows that dam
age from blue mold can be substan-
TALLY reduced by the selection of
new beds each year or by the rota-
ton of beds. If volunteers tobac-
co is not allowed to grow in old
bed sites a 4-year rotation of the
beds will be as good as a new Sc
lection each season, but if old beds
are used they should be burned
over or sterilized by steam before
usage. If a new bed is selected be
sure it is located in a warm, sunny
place that is well drained. Locate
the new bed on a loamy type OF
soil and close to running water if
possible.

Looking back over the games OF
the past week we find that we
made a fair average on our 'pick-
ings". We lost two and tied one out
of ten.
Georgia Tech trampled Vandy,
which was an upset, after having
been trampled themselves in their
last two contests. The Fordham
Rams took the Tar Heels by out
smarting them, so it seems, for the
Tar Heel line was as stout as the
Rams, withstanding every assault.
These two games were our only
loses. Our tie came as result of
the Lansing-Marion, Va, game end
ing in a 6-6 deadlock.
Appalachian showed the power
full offense for which they are not
ed, to overpower Tusculum. Last
year they were one of the nations
highest scoring teams and it seems
they are going to be up near the
top this year. Clemson ran rough
shod over the little Wake Forest
eleven, but Davidson took revenge
over Furman in big way by turn
ing on the heat to defeat them 49,
9, without the services of Lafferty.

Cattle And Lambs
Bring High Prices

Pnices for well-fnished cattle
and lambs are likely to continue
near present levels for the next
few months, according to L. l. Case,
beef and sheep specialist for the
State College Extension Service
Prices farmers receive fonSSlpgs
are expected to go down some as
they usually do during the fall and
winter months. But even with this
usual decline, hog prices are ex-
pected to average at least as high
as a year ago.
Many sections of North Carolina
produced "a bumper crop of corn
this year, Case said. Therefore, with
prospects for lower corn prices and
relatively high level of hog pric-
es, the corn-hog price ration will be
favorable for swine and production
during the next few months.
/ The improved feed-grain situa-
ton also points to an increase in
the number of cattle and lambs fed
this year, the extension specialist
declared.
The outlook for sheep and lamb
has changed. but little during the
past month. Marketings will be
larger this fall than in the past
summer, but the effect of these in
creased marketings on prices will
be offset largely by an expected
strong demand for feeder lambish
in the Corn Belt.
In mid-September cattle prices
reached the highest level in about
II years because of the marked
shortage of granted cattle in the
slaughter supply, Case pointed out
Prices of well-finished cattle are
expected to continue relatively
high, or at least until increased sup
plies of. granted cattle become
available next winter and spring.
