fine group of alert youngsters,
piloted by the loveable and talented
Ed Strong, internationally known
youth leader, turned in report
that was nothing short of amaz-
ing. These kids mean business,
and anyone who thinks differently
is due for a rude and unpleasant
shock. They have courage and
ideals, and they know exactly
what they want and, what is of
equal Importance, how to get it.
They don't propose to dissipate
their efforts in bewildered fun
bling, either. When they fire they
propose to score. Personally, the
writer is for them one hundred per
cent, without reservations. And he
has a conviction that all who can't
or won't concede to giving them
the assistance they deserve are go
ing to be ducedly upset.
About this ambitious" faction
in the Congress. One hadn't been
in Philadelphia an hour before he
or she caught the rumblings of an
anti-John P. Davis sentiment. A
group of highly organized dele
gates from the Intelligent" East
were out to GUST the organizer of
the Congress. But their reasoning
was faulty very. Midwestern,
Southern, Central Eastern and
Western delegates arose in anger,
smashed the opposition, rode
roughshod over the rebellious fac
ton, threatened dire consequences
for any group who dared attempt
dissension in the future, flung the
handsome Executive Secretary
back in the chair with force that
took his breath away and left no
doubt in anybody's mind of their
determination to keep the Congress
intact-and did. This display of
unity in itself was worth all the
money spent in bringing the con-
vention together. It clearly por-
trayed that Negroes are sick and
tired of leaders," burdened with
their own self-importance and am
billions, who would reign or ruin.
And that ought to be worth at
least one good, fervent "amen."
No delegate could possibly pic
ture the entire procedure of con-
vention as large as that in Phila-
delphia. The printed proceedings
of the conclave will soon be off the
press. The writer's suggestion is
that every person secure a copy
and carefully read it. The price will

BluestOne Produces
Big GladiOluS Yield

A few pounds of copper sulphate
spelled the difference between the
success and failure of gladioli raised
by John Nuckton, florist in New
Hanover county.
He had found it almost impossible
to raise a good crop of these flowers,
he told L. C. Willis, soil chemist of
the N. c. Agricultural Experiment
Station.
Willis told him his soil was defici-
ent in copper sulphate, one of the
rare elements not supplied in regu-
lar fertilizer.
So Nuckton added copper sui
phate, or bluestone, to one of his
plots at the rate of Is pounds to the
acre. The cost was only $1.50.
On three other plots he applied
only the customary fertilizer without
copper sulphate.
Nuckton said the variety of gladio-
lus planted, known as Mrs. Frank
Pendleton, is an I'D one that is

Seeds Should Be Kept
Dry While in Storage

Crop seeds protected from damp
ness in storage will have better
chance of terminating and produc-
ing strong plants even when handl-
capped by unfavorable weather.
Dampness in storage has ten
dency to start the terminating pro-
cess, and this weakens the seed, ex-
planned DR.. R. F. Poole, plant path
ologist with the N. c. Agricultural
Experiment Station.
Gaping the sweet potato banks so
they will shed water will help pro-
tect the potatoes against excessive
dampness.
Sweet potato storage houses
should be watched during the cold
weather months to prevent injury
from cold and to provide enough
ventilation to keep excess moisture
from accumulating.
Irish potatoes stored in banks
should be aired frequently to pre-
vent decay.
Corn, small grain, and other seed
should be kept in leak-proof build
ings with adequate ventilation to
prevent the accumulation of too
much moisture.

Baby Chicks Need
Successful Start

North Carolina poultrymen are
facing one of the, most important
times of the year with the arrival of
the baby chick season.
Extension poultry specialists at
State College estimate that 10000
600 baby chicks will be started this
year. This is approximately six
chicks for every Individual in North
Carolina.
Taking care Qf this tremendous
horde of new birds places respon-
sible burden on the shoulders Of the
States poultrymen. Feeding, man
agement, and housing problems must
benz ct with store of scientific
knowledge if the chicks are to prove
profitable to. the farmer. S1ipshod
methods mean losses and inferior
birds.
Improper feeding is responsible
for huge losses each year, declares
H. c. Gauger, poultry specialist at
State College. But, he says, these
losses can be cut greatly if the farm
er will become acquainted with
scientific feed formulae.
In radio talk on the Carolina
Farm Features program Friday,
January Is, he will take up recent
findings in poultry nutritional re-
search and explain how these late
developments can be of great help to
the poultryman.

War Clouds

Italy, Spain, England,

Russia Involved
US. to Stay Free

Ominous war clouds gathered over
Europe last week in an international
storm of dispute over the question of
aid to belligerents in the Spanish
civil war.
Britain speeded more warships to
Spanish waters Wednesday, while
France held troops ready for posi-
BILE dash to the Spanish border APP
parently both nations stood ready to
act unless Italy and Germany agreed
to stop intervening in the Spanish
warfare. At the same time talk was
heard of coastal blockade to halt
the movement of arms and men to
the aid of Fascist attackers and Soci-
alist defenders.
Meanwhile there were indications
that Germany and Italy would tenn
porize in replies to the Franco Brit
ish plea to halt volunteer enlist
ments Of foreigners in Spain. The
answers were expected soon. Great
Britain was disturbed by reports
that contingent of her own nation
ais would enlist with the Spanish
Socialists.
Berlin the same day made known
that Nazl WarShlpS would continue
to patrol the Spanish coast but with
out further reprisals for loss of the
cargo of the freighter Palos to the

ed submarines to Bilbao and appeal
ed to the League of Nations against
German seizure of Spanish merchant
ships and the sending of Italian vol
unteer soldiers to aid the Fascists.
From Moscow came the charge
that Adolf Hitler planned to send
regular troops openly to Spain. The
Soviet government was angry over
the seizure of a Russian steamer in
the Gibraltar strait-believed to be
the ninth such incident.
Coincident with these develop
ments the United States Congress
fastened work on new neutrality

Poultry FToeks Lay
More Eggs Per Bird

An average increase of q eggs per
bird in the annual production OF
demonstration poultry flocks IN
North Carolina has been noted dur
ing the past nine years.
Some of the poultrymen keeping
records on these demonstrafHOn
flocks have secured much bigger in
creases, said c. F. Parrish, extension
poultry specialist at State College:
But the average is held down
somewhat by new producers who
have started demonstration work
within the last few years, he athed-
When the work first started, the
average was 1872 eggs per bird. Dur
ing the I934-35 year the average was
152 eggs per bird, and the 1886
average was 159 eggs per bird.
The poultrymen send reports on
the fTocks to the State College pouI-
try department every month, and
the specialists make recommended
tions whenever they believe i'm
provements can be made in the way
the fIocks are handled.
The greater egg production is only
one of the ways in which the demon
stration flocks have been improved
by the adoption of better practices,
Parrish pointed out.
The increase in the number of
poultrymen who are keeping careful
records indicates the growing inter
est in better methods of breeding,
feeding, and management, he also
stated.
The first year, only five flock
owners made completed records. In
the 1934-35 year, an average of ITO
owners reported on 1888 birds each
month. During the past year, 207
owners reported monthly on a total
of 55,277 birds.
During the year, these 55,277
birds consumed $97,617.73 worth of
feed and laid eggs valued at $206, 729.

stated.
Willis has been making special
studies of rare elements in North
Carolina soils. He has found that in
places there are soils apparently full
of rich plant food, but deficient in
one or more of these rare elements,
and therefore incapable of produc-
ing strong, healthy plants.

Ford Introduces
New Anti-Freeze

A new motorcar anti-freeze So
luton, offering engine protection
to a temperature five degrees
lower than ordinary denatured
alcohol, has been announced by
the Ford Motor Company.
The new anti-freeze solution is
available at all Ford dealerships
in the Charlotte Branch territory,
according to Mr.. w. G. Patterson,
branch manager.
This new solution also acts as a
rust and corrosion preventative.
It's effectiveness as an anti-freeze
mixture is derived from the use
of isopropyl alcohol, a petroleum
derivative, to which is added a
quantity of pure methanol.
In addition, the Ford solution
contains soluble oil which effec-
lively retards evaporation. This
means that Ford anti-freeze does
not have to be replendished as
often as does ordinary alcohol
anti-freeze solution. It sells in the
same price range as alcohol.
