way was held in the new Norway
Center Wednesday, Jan. 81, and
the most significant thing about
the OCCASION was that the big hall
upstairs divided by a so-called
sound-proof walD was both too
small and far from soundproof.
Of course it was the first meeting
in Norway Center and the atten-
dance was unusually, large, but the
beauty of Norway Center is that
if one hall is too small you can
easily move into another and big
ger one which the Sons also de-
cided to do for their next big meet
ing Feb. %, which will be held in
the Banquet Hall on the first floor
At that time it is expected to in
itiate class of perhaps 100 or
more new members.
Mr.. Chas. K. Andersen brought
forth what 1 think was very
good idea, when he suggested that
the Norway Center Building
Committee should make a minia-
ture replica of the Center and sell
to members, and other interested
persons for about $500 or SO.
That could be a welcome source Of
income aside from the satisfaction
it will give many of us to have
tor to give to a friend) a beautiful
keepsake as it undoubtedly will
be.
Besides, this l believe, the Build
ing Committee should offer to the
public, Souvenir Postal Cards of
Norway Center. That, too, could
be a source of income.
Even as of now-before the
building is cornplete-it certainly
presents itself as both practical
and in every respect a building
that We can be proud of. Espe-
cially the ladies. who for so many
years have struggled in cramped
kitchen-quarters in the old Norway
Hall, are enthusiastic in their
praise of the spacious and up-to-
date kitchen connected with the
banquet hall and of course the
banquet hall itself, which in my
estimation is THE hall in the
whole building. The serving of
dinners during the recent bazaar
proved beyond any doubt the an
swer to any reasonable demand
In one night alone Saturday the
kitchen-comnittee served food for
3 times as many people land made
three times as much money! as
they could do in old Norway Hail.
All in all, Norway Center has
already proved that we could not
get along, very well without it It's
wonder that We have waited as
long as We have without getting
entirely discouraged.
Professor August Werner GER
tainly proved himself the real
thing" in the opera Don Pasquale
last week. Personally, 1 was sure
that he could handle that or for
that matter any other male role
in any opera. but even at that
was pleasantly surprised when I
had the chance to see him on
teledsion. He was simply mag
nificent, No wonder the public
demanded repeat performance
to be shown in the very near fu-
ture and when the time comes we
hope that the opera will be given
in much bigger theatre, giving
everyone Of US a chance to be
present. AS it was now, hundreds
of people We're turned away at
the last two performances for

Cotton Planting Time

Cotton Planting Time
AS you know good cotton seed
are scarce and high. The ger
mination of most seed is run
ming rather low this year, mean
ing that we are going to have to
plant more seed per acre to get a
good stand. Don't let few warm
days hasten your planting. With
the scarcity of seed and the high
price of these seed we have to
make one planting do. April 10
18th is the very earliest date l
would suggest planting. Be sure
your seed bed is in good condi-
ton and the ground has warmed
up before planting. AS one lady
stated, "she could always tell
when cotton planting time ar
rived, she said when her hus-
band started to looking for seed
for the third planting then she
knew it was time to start plant
ing cotton" So let's make one
planting do the job by not get
ting in too big a hurry. Plant
on a well prepared and firm
seed bed. If you are planting
seed that the termination runs
from SO to 70 per cent plant
so pounds of seed per acre in or
der to assure yourself a good
stand. AS soon as you know
you have a good stand of cotton
then it is time to start poison
ing for thrip. "Trip is a small
insect that starts feeding on the
bud of the cotton soon after it
comes up and these insect dam
age cotton considerably causing
ragged leaves, making forked
stalks and etc. BY poisoning for
thrip your cotton will grow off
from 10 days to two weeks ear
lier than it would otherwise.
Where poisoning for thrip if using
a dust use three to five pounds
per acre busted directly on the
small plant will be sufficient to
control thrip. AS stated above
poison as soon as you know you
have a good stand and in seven
days poison second time. This
will control your thrip and you
will not have to poison anymore
until your cotton begins to square.
This poisoning will be for your
boil weevil control. You may
dust or spray for thrip.
