Court of Appeals Backs Dis.
trict Court Refusal of
Injunction.

The United States Court of Appeals
today upheld the refusal by District
Court to issue preliminary injunc-
ton restraining the Federal Govern
ment and the city of st. Louis from
proceeding with the $50, 900 900 Jeffer-
son National Expansion Memorial
Parkway planned for the Missouri city.
The appellant court ruled that the
a. protesting property holders should
have included the city among the de-
PENDANTS. since it was an "lndlspens-
able party
The interest of the city in the ex-
tensive project is 'unquestlonable." ;"
while the interests of the plaintiff
property owners is somewhat ques-
tlonable," the court declared in an
opinion written by Associate Justice
Josiah A. Van Orsdel.
No opinion was ventured by the
court as to the constitutionallty OF the
Federal Governments S6,750,000 grant
TO aid in acquisition and development
of the land which was challenged by
the plaintiffs.
They contended their property would
be taken without due process OF law
and that neither the national indus
trial recovery act nor the emergency
relief appropriation act of 1888 author
lied the allotment.
The effect of the courts ruling Is
that the case will be remanded to the
trial court where the bill of complaint
must be amended or the suit dropped
Attorney Ralph S. Boyd represented
the Government in the litigation.
Plans for the parkway call for sc-
o,llsltlon of 100000 square feet along
the Mississippi River.
On December 81, 1885, President
Roosevelt, in an executive order, issued
under authority of the emergency
relief appropriation act OF 1888, al
located the s6,750,O00 to Secretary OF
Interior Ickes with instructions that II
be combined with s2,250000 appropri-
ated by St. Louis, making total OF
$4,000. 600 to be used for the acquisition
and development of the site through

Whether separate returns are filed

ANT CONTROL REQUIRES
MORE THAN ONE POISON

Ants become constant annoyance
at this season of the year because
of the damage they do to lawns and
flower beds and because of their
presence in the kitchen and pantry.
Because there are about 95 kinds
of ants known in North Carolina,
their control is a difficult problem.
What is effective against one kind
of ant is not always effective against
another.
DR.. z. P. Metcalf, head of the de-
partment of zoology and entomolo-
gy at State College, recommends
that the insects be destroyed in
nests. If they occur in lawns or in
rotten logs, the ants may be eradi-
Gated by using calcium cyanide or
carbon disulphide.
Calcium cyanide is a deadly poi
son, but may be handled out-of-
doors by any responsible person. It
should be scattered over the nests
at the rate of about two ounces per
square foot and then worked into
the soil with a trowel.
Carbon disulphide, being more
explosive than gasoline, should also
be handled carefully. To use this
compound, make small holes with
pointed stick to a depth of half a

INTELLIGENT FARMING
PUTS GROWER ON FEET

Reducing a $500 mortgage on
his farm to 1925 in four years
through intelligent use of his land
is the story told by an eightmule
farmer of Halifax county to w. O.
Davis, farm agent of the State Col
lege Extension Service.
Asking that his name be withheld,
the grower told him he raised moth
ing but cotton, tobacco, and peanuts
before 1882. Being a money crop
farmer only, he bought all food and
feed for himself, his tenants, and
his livestock.
A $500 mortgage held by Bank
in Halifax blanketed his farm when
that bank closed. The note was sold
to another bank which called for
payments. All the farmer had left
was one bale of cotton. This he sold
for $1935 which he gave as an in
terest payment.
When the AAA program was
started in 1888, this farmer baked
at the provisions but finally was
forced to come in under the act.
However, once he signed he follow
ed the program to the letter from
1888 to the present time.
BY following the program and
raising more food and feedstuff and
less of the money crops, he has been
able to reduce his note at the bank
| from sc. 500 to 1925.
! At the beginning of the present
crop year, it was not necessary that
he borrow money to finance his
planting, Davis declared.
He has plenty of corn and feed for
himself and his five tenants and is
looking forward to another prosper
Gus year.
From being critic of the farm
program, he has changed to one of
its most enthusiastic supporters.
Agent Davis says this farmer re-
Gently came to him greatly distress
ed because he had heard reports
that the program would be discon-
tinued.

THE NATION AND SOUTHERN FARMS

DR.. o. E. Baker, of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, speaking to group of
farm boys and girls in Raleigh last week de-
clared that the welfare of the nation is largely
dependent on the farm families of the South
To support his statement, he pointed to the fact
that the family is the bulwark of the nation, but
that family life in the big cities is breaking
down and that while birth rates are declining
seriously there they still exceed the death rate
on southern farms. ''Within the next 100 years."
says DR.. Baker, the most of the nations popu-
lation will have descended from southern stock"
If the farmer boys and girls of the South
today are to be the leading citizens in the nation
tomorrow, it is we'll for them to ponder serious
ly. DR.. Bakers closing remark:
"You young people hold in your hands the
destiny of the nation You have within your
power the ability to build up country that will
endure through the ages"

COUNTY ROADS AND SCHOOL BUSES

With the school season only two months
away and high school principals already rout-
ing schools buses, we are reminded that many
times during the winter months, schools are
forced to close because the buses can't run and
the buses can't run because of the bad condition
the roads get in.
To build all-year roads is not an easy or an
inexpensive job, but now is the time for the
highway officials to confer with the educational
authorities and ascertain which roads are apt
to give trouble during the coming winter Bad
mud holes and rutS on the north side of hills
and mountains can be rocked until the bottom
will be solid enough to Withstand the winter.
Almost every country road has it's bad places
places that are all right during the summer
but that give trouble during every wet spell or
following every snow or big freeze. It would
not be impossible task to rock and gravel
these places even if the entire road could not
be SO treated.
1t is poor economy to invest thousands of
dollars in buses and then put them on roads that
knock several dollars each day off their value.
Many of our county buses are not of the best
any way, but the best bus made cannot give the
best service when it is put on routed out roads
where the bottom drags or forced to go over
roads so rough that if parts are not actually
broken, screws and bolts are shaken loose.
1t seems that this situation could be greatly
helped by the cooperation and consultation of
the highway officials, the board of education
officials, and the citizens in the various COM
munities where road work on bus routes is
needed
