False Teeth
Apnle Pinchinq

You can squeeze rotten apple into
mush with your fingers but not so
with a good one. This is so because
a good apple is so much more
FULL-BODIED and SUBSTAN.
TIAL than rotten one. In dental
plate adhesives you will find that
a preparation like SUXION, which
is so saturated with GRIPPING
POWER it is too FULL-BODIED
and SUBSTANTIAL to be squeezed
from a tube, will hold the loosest
set in far more rigidly, longer and
with greater cushioned protection
for your gums THAN ANYTHING
YOU HAVE EVER USED. You will
eat and do as you wish and COM
pletely forget you are wearing false

that. So take a Dentists advice.

CAROLINA FARMERS
EXPAND MARKETS
State College Expert Says
Truck Growers Seek
ing New Outlets

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
April 16-North Cardinals COM
petition-bound truck farmers are
fighting a winning battle for ex-
banded production and new mar
kets, H. L. Meachan, marketing
expert of the State College Elk
tension Service, declared Tuesday.
Farmers in the Duplin and Pen
der county section, hub of the
states expanding lettuce crop,
have not waited for outside assis-
lance in meeting the stiff competi-
ton OF big crops in California and
South Carolina. Led by J. ".
Whitfield, Wallace farm leader
and member of the State Farm
Bureaus vegetable committee,
Tar Heel growers have dipped
into the Bluefield, w. Va, and
Portsmouth, Ohio, markets to
establish new outlets for lettuce,
beets, English peas, spring onions,
strawberries and other early warm
weather crops. The marketing of
local produce is now at its
height.
Shipments Heavy
California lettuce shipments TO
the east are 40 cars a week
heavier than last year. South Ca
rolina's lettuce crop is up 545
acres from last year and North
Cardinals 1,400 acres of that crop
this year is an increase OF $50
acres above last year.

play by heavy, spring shipments
of the noisy TODD from California,
have countered by planting a crop
which will mature in June and
July, a period Of slack produc tion
on the west coast.
Effective Planning
'M we can continue to plan
production and observe order in
Meacham said, "the
day is past when truck loads Of
produce will be lost to farmers
for want of a market. It is ex-
tremely gratifying to note that
farmers who 10 years ago took
losses lying down are now shifting
effectively for themselves in this
day Of rigid competition.

TURTLE-LKE SPUD
FOUND NEAR CURRIE;
OWNER TRIES AGAIN

CURR1E, April 16-Mrs. W. r.
Rawls, Of Currie, N. c. Route J.,
recently found a freak Irish po-
tato while cutting seed potatoes
to plant. Last year she majored
in finding freak sweet potatoes
that partly grew after the Sep
TENDER flood, now she has new
field in which to gather her tro-
pheys.
Turtle Shaped
The Irish potato was around two
inches in circumference and length
in proportion. The body was the
shape Of a turtle, the head tiny
potato with exactly the turtle
shape, even with its jaws capped
to bite. The tail was a tinysprout,
also the legs which had tiny
sprouts for claws.
Mrs. Rawls upon first thought
decided to keep the freak potato
for exhibition, later deciding TO
be more practical and cut off the
head for one piece and the body
into four equal parts, making the
dividing line between each leg,
five pieces in all.
Now Mrs. Raw1s is wondering
if the potato turtle friend husband
has planted will turn out to null
tiply potatoes Or turtles. Most
anything can happen in between
the rivers.

TALMADGE WANTS EXTRA
SESSION PRIMARY ACTION

ATLANTA, Mar. 25 (ANP)-
Former Gov: Eugene Talmadge, the
red-galloused sage Of Sugar Creek,
Joined forces with House Speaker
Roy V. Harris in urging an extra
session of the Georgia legislature
to repeal existing primary laws and
preserve the white primary as we'll
as the county unit system.
The former governor, who ma
jored in race-baiting during two
former gubernatorial terms, thinks
the Democratic State Executive
Committee ought to meet and fix
primary rules, including the county
unit system, before the Neill pri-
mary law is repealed by the legisla-
ture, however. He also thinks that
the state committee ought to provide
for four-fifths vote of a state con-
vention to change the primary rules.
Talmadge further said that if
Gov. Arnall refuses to call an extra
session of the legislature that body
should convene itself.
