PIMA Chairman Advises Farmers 10
Save Or Obtain Cotton Seed Soon

Farmers planning to increase
their 1851 cotton acreage are
urged to save or obtain an ample
supply of good planting seed as
soon as possible.
Clyde Wayne, Chairman of the
county PIMA Committee, points
out that most farmers will save
enough seed for their 1850 crop
to plant the crop next year. But
smaller supplies of good plant
ing seed available due to a short
crop this year we hope all farm,
ers will make plans to have a
planting supply on hand far a
head of the actual planting
time" Mr.. Wayne said.
The Secretary of Agriculture
recently announced that cotton
marketing quotas and acreage
allotments will not be in effect
on the 1851 crop. This means
farmers can grow all the cotton
they like.
A cotton crop of at least 16
million bales is needed to supply
expected domestic and export de.
mand.
Mr.. Wayne urges farmers to-:
ID Determine the acreage of
cotton they will plant IN 1851
and the quantity of good seed
needed for planting that acre
age; CD Save an adequate sup
ply of seed from the 1850 crop if
the seed is a good quality and of
the best variety; 60 Locate and
obtain a supply of the best seed
if unable to save good seed from
the 1850 crop; (4) Contact the
County Agent and other agricul'
tural leaders, who know the best
varieties to plant and how to
treat, clean and properly store
cotton planting seed.

ing at which Congressman F
Ertel Carlyle was the featured
speaker. Carlyle emphasized the
uncertainty in the world of for.
eign affairs and domestic finance
and pointed out how scouting is
being encouraged by persons
with vision, people who have an
eye to the future.
"When you couple vision, eff
fort and pursuit, you work to-
ward the only goal there is-suc,
cess" Carlyle said.
He briefly sketched the history
of scouting and pointed out that
the great lesson being taught by
scouting is cooperation, the abil
ity to work on the team toward
a single goal.
The meeting was attended by
more than 100 persons and was
one of the most enthusiastic or
ganizational meetings ever held
in Columbus county. Scouters
were present representing every

New Trial Is Ordered
On Basis Of Race Bias
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Nov. q. - The
Virginia Supreme Court today
reversed the conviction of a
Greensville County Negro who
contended discrimination was
practiced in selecting the Jury
which tried him on a murder
charge.
Jurors should be selected as
individuals, on the basis of in
fdividual qualifications and not
as members of a race" Justice
Archibald c. Buchanan said in
remanding the case to Green's
vile County Circuit Court for
new trial.
Counsel for Jodie Bailey ap-
pealed after the Negro was SEN
fenced to life for stabbing L. P.
BrockWell. ST., a white garage
service manager.
Bailey's counsel contended the
mans rights were violated be-
cause, it was alleged, Negroes
were Disseminated against when
the jurors were selected for the
trial. The charge also was made
that for more than 80 years only
white persons had been appointed
as jury commissioners in the
county and that these commissions
ers, despite orders to the contrary.
had wilfully failed and refused
to place a proper number of coll
ored persons on the jury lists"

Smithsonian Expert
Explains Medieval
.'Unicorn' Mystery

The Smithsonian Institution
finally has explained the truth
about medieval people who could
swear they saw a unicorn. They
did.
DR.. Richard Ettinghausen, after
extensive study of unicorn designs
on luster tiles. silver -inlaid bronze
vessels, Persian miniatures and
Indian carpets of the Middle
Ages, say what they really saw
was the one-horned rhinoceros Of
India.
The unicorn has been variously
pictured as a one-horned cow,
lion. antelope and horse. Some
times, according to the ancient
pictures. it had wings.
DR.. Ettinghausen's findings
have just been published in a
well-illustrated book by the Freer
Gallery of Art.
The one-horned rhino was, Of
course, we'll known in India, he
says. and it was perfectly natural
that various accounts of it should
have been brought back to the
Near East and Europe. Few of
the travellers who made the re-
ports, DR.. Ettinghausen contends.

Herson was mayor of Glen Echo
for several years. He has since
moved to the Manor Country Club
Estates.
Although 1t has only 80 fam
lilies, a population of about 400,
the incorporated village of Glen
Echo has a mayor, a town council
and most of the problems of local
government.

incorporate-to be part Of the
county government like Silver
Spring. It was discussed at an
open meeting called by the coun-
Gil. When the citizens realized
some Of the tax advantages-es-
pecially the fact they were getting
garbage collection for so cents a
month against $165 across the
road. they were all for letting
the mayor and town council con-
tinue.
The village limits do not leave
room for expansion like other
communities. Glen Echo has hac
a postwar building boom. Three
new houses have gone up.
The largest house in the village
is the Clara Barton house, where
the founder of the American Red
Cross lived from 1892 until hel
death in 1912. 1t is a long, white
weatherboard structure with an
imposing facade, built from the
materials of the Red Cross relief
building put up at Johnstown, Pa.
after the famous flood of 1889. It
lis occupied by Mrs. Josephine
Franks Noyes. who formerly
helped run the cafeteria of the
Agriculture Department, and her
four sisters.

ready to take care of any official
calls from citizens-but fortunate
ly there are not many. He found
out just the other day that he is
Justice of the peace.
The most difficult problem that
came before the town council
four members and the mayor
during his term of Office was the
Montgomery County Fire Code.
Some of the citizens discovered
that because they had leased
rooms in their homes for light
housekeeping. their establishments
were considered apartment
houses" and they would have to
build fire escapes and keep lights
burning in the Railways all night.
The code was finally adopted after
the county fire marshal appeared
before the council and said he
would not be unreasonable in its
enforcement.
