Improving Soil

It has been well said that erich soil
means rich farmers" And from this, we
can readily conclude that when the soil of
a farm becomes rundown, that the income
runs down in proportion. This is why the
soil conservation program is of vital i'm
portance to everyone.
A recent report compiled by the agri-
cultural agencies shows that the actual in
come from the farms in this county has
climbed greatly in the past five years and
that last year, it increased around $1,000,
OO0.00 There are number of reasons for
this and among them, of course, is improv-
ed farming practices, including soil con-
servation. We are happy over the progress
that has been made in this and we hope to
see it continued and expanded.
The following table should be of inter-
est to everyone interested in the progress
of farming in this county:

Ocean Flying

In spite Of the published figures on the
gigantic operations of the Air Transport
Command of the Army Air Forces and the
Naval Air Transport Service, it is still diff
ficult for the man in the street to appreci-
ate what these things mean to postwar
commercial flying. Never before has an
industry had the advantages of practical
operating laboratory development such as
that which the air transport industry is en-
joying as result of the pressures of war.
The ATC alone is operating $4,000 miles
of routes every day and carrying annually
huge complement of passengers and mil
lions of pounds of cargo between the con-
tinents. That the airlines themselves full
ly realize the implications of this acceler-
ated service is evident in many quarters.
A short time ago Lockheed Constellation
flew from Kansas City to Washington in
two hours fifty three minutes This is the
forerunner of fleet of these big, fast trans
ports which Transcontinental and Western
Air will operate across the Atlantic for the
ATC on a twelve-hour service between
Washington and London. These 30O-mile-
an-hour airliners, which carry military
personnel and equipment eastward and
bring back wounded service men on the
return flights in war service, will be ready
to take business men and tourists and car
goes of hundred different kinds over the
same route on similar schedules when the
war is over.
Pan American Anyways, looking ahead
to only slightly more distant operation, has
placed an order for fifteen six-engined
Clippers with Consolidated Vultee Aircraft
Corporation. These giants, with a wing
span of 230 feet, will have a capacity of
2O4 passengers and 1890 pounds of bag
gage, mail and cargo. With range of A.
200 miles, cruising speed will be between
80 and 342 miles an hour, and cabins will
be pressurized so that flight may be COM
Portable at 10000 feet, above the normal
storm level Meantime, this international
airline has told the Civil Aeronautics Board
that it will be prepared to fly 108-passenger
planes from Los Angeles to Sydney in thir-
ty-two hours for passenger fare of $295.
We can look confidently for an immense
increase in over-ocean passenger flying by
such swift and spacious carriers as the
Boeing COT, the Douglas C-54 and the Con-
stellation in the period Immediately follow
ing VE-day. And soon beyond that period
we will have still larger airplanes and fly
ing boats supplemented perhaps by light
er-than-air ships to provide transocean
transport. (The New York Tlmes)

The table tells an important story. It
reveals the definite trend toward better
use of land, the change from hill to bottom
land for row crops and the changing from
bottom to hill land for meadows and pas
lures. Let's keep on improving our soil.
If your neighbor is not putting into prac-
tice conservation methods, suggest to him
that he have the New River Soil Conserva-
ton District make plan for his farm.
The goal this year is to have farm plan
and soil conservation practices in operation
in every farm in the district. This will
pay dividends not only now, but for the
generations of the future.

By Stella w. Anderson
We are one of those people, that
always appreciate gifts, some
more than others, of course. But
we like to believe it is a thought
that prompts the spirit of the
giver and are made happy, what
ever the gift turns out to be. I
have friend who says she some
times enjoys the smell" of gift.
Perhaps this can be accounted
for because of an incident which
happened the other day. She
asked me to have dinner with her
and explained that a friend of
hers had presented her with a hen
for Christmas and she had saved
it for a special occasion. Before
the dinner hour came around, de-
licious odors of the fowl permea-
ted the kitchen and my friend
brought out the fact that she
thought the hen was really a
grand present" This went on
until around 200 p. m, her color
ed cook, who has a keen sense of
humor, said, eyes, Nam, this sho'
was a grand present. This hen
is bound to be the grandmother
of every chicken in town.!
Suited With A Suit!
Judge H. c. Tucker, who prob
ably has the distinction of being
the biggest Judge in North Caro-
lima, ordered a tailor-made suit
from a well-known representa-
tive; but when it arrived, it was
several sizes Judge says 10Y too
small.
It was later discovered that the
tailoring company had the mea-
surements on file for both Judge
and his son, Walter, and that the
initials on the recorder were mix
ed, so the Judge received a suit
made to the measurements of his
son, a much smaller edition. The
happy ending to the story is that
the Judge got another suit and
Walter the first order, of course!
Caught In Passing!
The very young generation is
learning much about geography.
Sammy Davis will speak out
about where his father is as will
John Morgan Davis and Tommy
Little.
Ronnie and Eddie Dean Good
man don't mind gas rationing as
much as some people. To Eddie
Dean, in particular, sitting in a
parked car and watching the
world go by is the same as riding!
Young Retha Stansberry is
quite a talker and often tells us
just how we'll she can tap dance.
We can't get her to demonstrate,
however.
Magic Words!
We do not know the author, but
we ran across the following poem
which we are passing on to our
readers. IF more than oneD
FIVE LITTLE WORDS
There are five little words, I'd
have you to know;
They are: Pardon me-" THANK
you," and "Please."
Oh, use them quite often where
ever you go;
There are few words more useful
than these.
These five little words are filled
with a power
That money or fame cannot give.
So commit them to memory this
very hour
And use them as long as you i've!
A Good Reason
Sometime ago, when two young
single Methodist ministers, Rev.
John S. Jordan and r. G. Wagon
er, came to Ashe county, Ira T.
Johnston made a suggestion that
they both preach on this subject:
''It is not good that man should
live alone"
Mr.. Jordan waited nearly two
years and then last Sunday,
preached on this subject. He had
good reason, he is getting mar
ried next Sunday, March IL.
Needless to say, he preached
convincing sermon.
