Urges Greater
Use OF Potatoes

The total production of Irish
potatoes has hit an all time high,
which means that sagging menus
can expect lift from one of the
basic foods.
Prof. M. E. Gardner, head of
the horticulture department at
State College, in announcing the
abundant supply of potatoes pro-
duced by growers throughout
North Carolina, as we'll as the en-
tire United States calls atten-
ton to the fact that prices of the
crop are relatively low and quail
ity high.
Total 1916 production has been
estimated at All, 146,00O bushels.
which is As million bushels great
er than the 1945 crop. This yield
represents an average production
of 1877 bushels of potatoes per
acre. .
The early and intermediate
crops of Irish potatoes have al
ready moved to market, Gardner
says. 1t is the late crop, pro-
duced largely in the western part
of North Carolina, and of course,
throughout many of the north
ern states, which is in such album
dant supply now.

Sergeant Francis M. Darcy,
commander of the Lenoir army
recruiting station, released, last
week, the information that, con-
trary to popular belief. the ed
ucational benefits of the C. I.
Bill of Rights did not terminate
as of October 6, 1916. Many peo-
pie are of this opinion, Sgt. Darcy
pointed out, but stated that this
is not true.
According to the amended ser

creased consumption by the aver
age family will be necessary.
The USDA, the producers, dis
tributors, and the State College
Extension Service have joined eff
forts in this drive to bring the
supply to the attention of the
buying public.
Gardner points out that the
housewife who buys and uses
these potatoes literally is not only
preventing food waste at time
when such loss would be unfor-
tunate, but she is. also doing her
family a favor by using the po-
tatoes in a variety of ways to

|Boo1le Warehouse
| Names Officers
Meeting Held Recently In
Boone; Inspection Made Of
New Building

The officers and directors of
the new Farmers Burley Ware
house, Incorporated, held a spe-
cial meeting in Boone recently.
Progress of the corporation from
its formation last February to
date was reviewed and plans
were laid for the operation of
their warehouses for the ensuing
season. The officers expressed
themselves as well pleased with
the outlook.
The officers of the new corpor-
alton are: C. C.. Taylor, president;
Rex Taylor, vice-president; A. G.
Wright, secretary and treasurer,
who succeeded o. L. Badgett,
resigned.
The officers, together with their
consulting engineer, made COM
olete inspection of their new
warehouse. This warehouse has
been pronounced as one of the
most convenient in the entire bur-
ley belt, if not in the entire south
eastern states. The floor area is
about $4,000 square feet; the en-
trance is from Main street, and
highway 421, with a driveway
twenty four feet in width through
the center of the house. The exit
is on the Poplar Grove road. The
warehouse will accommodate two
traffic lanes, thus assuring the
farmers of adequate space under
cover, and with two sets of scales
there should be no waiting or de-
lay. in getting in the house and
getting the tobacco unloaded. Sen
arate doors to accommodate COM
pany trucks avoid any confusion
on that score.
There is ample office space to
accommodate the farmers in get
ting their checks without being
crowded or delayed. Facilities for
food have been provided nearby.
The we'll lighted warehouse
should be worth many dollars to
the farmers selling their tobacco
in this warehouse, it was pointed
out.
The floors are wooden, we'll
raised from the ground, and are
dry at all times, which will be
another valuable asset to the far
mer selling his tobacco in this
house.
Farmers Burley Warehouse, In
corporated was organized the first
part of this year, and it's principal
offices have been maintained in
Boone. The authorized capital
stock of the corporation is over
one hundred thousand dollars, the
majority of which has been paid
in. The owners of the corpora
ton, who will be the operators
of the new warehouse, are men
Of many years experience in the
tobacco business, and the public
IS assured it will get a square
deal at the Farmers Burley Ware
house, and from its officers and
employees, it was stated.

By the time the pupil has reached the fifth class at 12 years of age he has begun foreign language.

 The question of freedom remains In the Soviet system writes MT somervle there is no freedom for teachings To them, economic security full health servicemen, complete education and freedom from race discrimination are of the highest significance Soviet educators maintain that freedom to teach against these objectives would jeopardze the freedom of the majority.

taken this letter to you direct. We look to you, as the head of coun- try that has always been in the forefront of the fight for liberty, justice and self-determination, to use the benefit of your influence to stop the present bloodshed in Indonesia. The hostility now mani fested in Java is definitely delay ing the return of peace to the Far East.
 We earnestly hope that, in your capacity as neutral and impartial nation, the United States will af- ford us the helping hand we need. We harbor no territorial ambitions, we seek to injure no one-not even Dutchmen-and we neither desire nor have the inclination to make a racial issue out of the struggle for independence. Our hopes and long ings revolve around the founding of a regime such as yours in which the common people will en- joy the blessings of justice, free dom and social security.
 We thank you in advance for the help we feel sure you will not deny us, and it is with confidence in your fairmindedness and cour- age in the justice of our cause that I close this letter with the compli- ments of the season.
