The New River soil conserva-
ton district has just about COM
pleted tree planting on cooperat-
ing for this year, according to Mr.,
J. T. McLaurin, work unit con-
servationist. The district has sup

part of the work. Mr.. McLaurin
said most of these were planted
before the WPA crew cooperating
with the district was discontin-

Farmers having trees on their
farms which could not be planted
before May l are in the most part
planting them to earn an addition

earned in no other way. If the
district furnishes the trees and
the farmer plants them, he may
earn II of the total 3 units set

der his AAA plan. According to
R. L. Grouse, County Agent, these
units are over and above any
other units that may be earned

Dahlias Grow In
Most Sections

Any soil that will grow good
vegetables will grow good dahlias
says James C. Weaver, State Col
lege floriculturist. Wherefore"
he declared, "dahlias can be
grown in almost every section of
North Carolina and no flower is
more beautiful in the late sum-
mer garden"
Weaver says that dahlias should
be planted Immediately in the
Piedmont and mountain sections.
In the eastern part of the State
they may be planted a month
later and will bloom satisfact-
orily with favorable growing con-
ditions.
''The idea is" he says, "to plant
early enough for the dahlias to be
ready to flower when the nights
turn cool in the late summer. The
blooms do not reach perfection
during the hot summer moths"
The State College floricultur-
list suggests that a well-drained
site be selected for dahlias. In
light sandy soil, the roots may be
planted six or seven inches deep,
while in heavy clay soils they
should be placed four to five
inches below the surface. The
hole should be we'll prepared, es-
pecially in heavy soils. Dig it IL
inches across and IL inches deep,
and fill it to the correct depth
with pulverized top soil. A hand
full of bone meal mixed with this
soil will aid the growth of the
young plant.

Dark Deeds
Thrill in
Crossroads
BY CHARLES GENTRY

A VICIOUS vortex OF dark
deeds. half-forgotten. forms the
exciting trap for the principal
characters II an excellent movie
Crossroads, wh.eh Scr q AZ che
United Artists YESTERDAY
Although il vaguely reminds Us
Of a GiradouN play we once saw
and has the same psychological
undercurrents as the English
drama. "Libe Crossroads
is distinctly different type
OF picture, well directed and acted
William Powell is the central
figure. man suffering from am
neSia concerning the early part Of
his life.
A poised man of diplomatic posi-
tion in pre-war Paris, he has lived
for several years doing honorable
service 10 his country and being
constant 10 a devoted wife
This is all after a MarSeilleS-
Paris train wreck which robbed
him of his memory. Prior 10 that
he knows nothing Of who he was
or what he was.
This is where the dirty work
at the Crossroads comes in and
Basil Rathbonc is just the boy 10
engineer IL. Two days before the
wreck, two men had robbed a
bank. killing a messenger.
DIPLOMATS DILEMMA
Powell, is accused of being one
OF them. so the path 10 blackmall
him is opened 10 Rathbone. Since
the curtain Of amenSia is so heavy,
Powell. IL years later finds him
self caught in whirlpool Of awful
circumstances
Powell. himself. doesn't know
whether he was the criminal or
not. His wife is afraid 10 admit
doubt. A former sweetheart and
q woman who might be his mother
offer enough evidence 10 drive him
TO the brink of suicide.
The situation becomes as unten-
able for the characters as the
suspense is unbearable for the
audience. A clever ruse finally
solves the msytery. but you will
have 10 go TO the United Artists
and find out whether Powell was
the CRIMINAL or the man who
wasn't there.
A UNIQUE IDEA
The unique idea and the con-
finental flavor of the film make
II an intriguing affair, one which
will certainly pique your interest.
Powell. though he's getting too
old for the romantic scenes with
Hedy Lamar, gives us an excel
lent character study in dilemma.
Because he doesn't know whether
he is the criminal he is accused
of being, he reflects the torture
of doubt, the hesitation and fear
splendidly. He never overdoes
esther gesture or facial expression,
yet he makes you understand
every phase of his particular pre-
dicament in one of the best pieces
of acting we've ever seen
Powell do.
BEAUTIFUL BACKGROUND
Hedy Lamar is fairly quiet
throughout. AS the worried little
woman, she just turks in the back
ground looking gorgeous, so what
more do you want.
Claire Trevor as the girl friend
is particularly convincing and
Basil Rathbone is his own sweet
nasty self again.
Incidental characters like those
portrayed by Margaret Wycherly
and Felix Bressart are all done
well, rounding out the develop
ment of the principal idea.
