Three Sheppard Boys
Back To Inherit,
Pair Of Trousers

With the happy arrival home
of Francis q. Sheppard from
Shoemaker, Calif., where he was
honorably discharged from the
navy last week, the controversy
over who is to have title to q pail
of trousers begins to loom.
Circumstances are these:
As each of the three sons left
home for training camps during
wartime, they wore the same
pair of trousers. W b e n they
donned uniforms they sent the
trousers back home to mother to
wash and put away for their flu.
ture use in the glorious peace.
time.
Maybe. each of them figured
that he only would be the lucky
boy to get back and be able to
claim the trousers. But now with
good fortune blessing the three
of them. there is speculation over
what is to happen to the trousers.
If there were only two of them
there could be a tugowar. With
both getting a leg.
As is it, one divided by three
results in one-third, and you can
not possibly do good job par
ceiling trousers that way. Maybe
mother will find a way, for love
always finds q way.

Strip Cropping Is
Great Soil Saver

Anyone who doubts the value
of strip cropping on rolling land
should visit V. E. Coltrane of
Julian in Guilford county, says
Frank Doggett, Extension soil
conservationist at State College.
Strip cropping not only saves
soil but it also helps to greatly
increase crop yields. Coltrane
produced "a bushels of hybrid
corn per acre on one of his strips
last year as compared with about
20 bushels of open pollinated
corn Under the old method of
up and down hill, as was the case
several years ago.
So enthusiastic is Coltrane
about strip cropping that he
maintains that he will soon be
able to make 100 bushels of corn
per acre and mot strain his land"
The fields on the Coltrane farm
are planted in strips, alternately
to row crops and soil building
legumes. IF the soil and water
break away on the cultivated
strips, it is caught by the crop
strips, and the water seeps into
the ground instead of running
off" says Coltrane. "Then the
cover crops are turned under,
making the soil loose and as por-
Gus as plotting paper. believe
that with this practice am build
ing at least one-half inch of top
soil on this land a year.
'The sod waterways in these
