North CaroIinians Go

HALE1Gt1, N. e., May Z9.-
North Carolinians voted today in
Democratic primaries in which
the segregation issue. pointed up
by the Supreme Courts decision
banning separation Of white and
Negro pupils in public schools.
played a vital role in the final
week Of the senatorial race.
Actually, Senator Alton A.
Lennon and former Gov. w. Kerr
Scott, probably the strongest of
his six opponents, stood shoulder
to shoulder in calling for the
maintenance of segregated pub
lie schools.
However, in the final hours Of
campaigning thousands Of leaf
lets, reprints of a newspaper ad-
vertisement which warmly
praised Mr.. Scott as a friend Of
the Negro, flooded the States
eastern rural areas.
The unsigned leaflets, admit
tedly distributed by Lennon
forces, followed by a few hours
the appearance of the ad.
Admits Placing Ad.
Mayor Marshall Kurfees of
Winston-Salem admitted placing
the ad which drew charges of
"falsehood" from the Scott camp.
Mr.. Kurfees was an active Len
non supporter. Mr.. Kurfees said
he had persuaded j. H. r.
GleaveS, a Negro leader and a
professed supporter of Mr.. Scott
to sign the ad.
Mr.. KurfeeS said he told Mr..
Gleaves the ad would help Scott
with the Negroes" but might
have "repercussions otherwise
and lot of folks might not like
it." Mr.. Kurfees said Mr.. Gleaves
told him he felt the ad would
help Mr.. Scott more than hurt
him.
Mr.. Scott's lieutenants called
for investigations by Federal and
State officials for possible viola
tions of statutes against dis
tributing unsigned campaign
literature.
Mr.. Lennon, a 47-year-
lawyer and former State Senator,
was virtually unknown polit-
ically when Gov. William B.
Umstead named him last July 10
to fill the unexpired term of the
late Senator Willis Smith. Mr..
Scott served as Governor from
1949 to 1858.
In addition to the senatorial
race there were contests in five
of the States congressional dis
tricts. as well as several State
contests.
No G. o. p. Primaries.
The contests were confined to
the Democratic Party, where
nomination generally is tanta-
mount to election. An exception
was the victory of Representative
Charles R. Jonas, who was swept
into office in 1852 on the heels
of President Eisenhower's show
of strength. There were no
G. o. P. primaries. Republican
candidates were selected by State
and local committees.
In the congressional races Rep
resentative L. n. Fountain of
Tarboro was opposed by Herbert
T. Bailey of Tarboro in the End
District; Representative Carl T.
Durham by H. C. Sprinkle of
Durham in the 9Th; Representa-

Use Soabsnds~ Smo1V to Make
n MMi4 Christmas

Decorate windows and mirrors with a
jolly Santa face, Merry Christmas
lettering, snowmen, icicles, candles and
many other signs of the season.
Supply the children with sharp slivers
of soap, so that they-or you-may
make preliminary sketches on glass
surfaces which then can be traced with
Soapsuds for greater accuracy of de-
sign. When applying soapsuds, allow
the first coat to dry, then add one or
two additional coats, with gentle touch
es, to give the design richness and
depth. Little cylinders of sparkle
sprinkles can be had at dime stores.
Shade some of the sparkles over the
wet soap drawing for added glitter.
When applying soapsuds to a tree, use
long-handled wooden spoon or wide
paintbrush. Work from the top to bot
tom of the tree, and from trunk outward
to branch tips. Let dry, then heap on
another coating. If you like, decorate
the little wet snow-puffs on the branches
with holly berries or sequins which will
''dry in The soapsuds drift enough
to look natural on the tree, wreaths, or
any other pieces of greenery.
So gather the clan-come Christmas
tide-dip into drifts of snowy soapsuds,
and frost your holiday house for the
merriest holiday of all-for all!

WHEN THE JINGLE-BELL season
rolls around, there's no need to bank on
the weather for white Christmas. You
and the whole family can ''get showed
in with the prettiest decorations this
side of Santa Landau made from
glistening drifts of soapsuds.
One of the greatest joys of soapsuds
''snow'' is that cleaning up doesn't
pillow you under, when the festivities are
over. This "snow' melts off mirrors
and windows at the touch of a wet
cloth, and leaves them as bright and
shining as the new year. And because
this decoration won't shed, your floor
and rugs stay neat-giving you a holi-
day from the vacuum cleaner.
Besides being inexpensive, trimming
with soapsuds allows your children to
take an active part in bringing a CHEEKY
yuletide glow to your home, for the
whole frothy business is really child's
play.
Use rotary egg beaten or electric
mixer to whip up the suds in pitcher
or in deep, narrow bowl. A very min
imum of warm water should be added
to the soap before beating. Whip until
the suds are dry and the consistency
of thick cream.
These are some of the things Riddles
can do with suds and a paintbrush:

Improved Pastures Provide -.
800 Days Of Grass
By ARTHUR D. MILES, Park County
By ARTHUR D. MILES, Park County

GRASS is THE natural feed for
ruminants. More important, though,
grass is the cheapest feed and produces
the cheapest gains. Green pastures of
the summer pay for the winter keep
and make the profit for the year.
Greater production per acre can be
achieved with harvested crops, but there
is no cheaper method of production than
letting the cow harvest its own feed.
Stretching the grass season, and main
tanning full production on grass has
been our goal, and has resulted in large
summer gains and 300 days of grazing.
Actually, the sheep spend only Is days
off the grass, having a grazing season
of $40 days.
Grazing Program
Our grazing program runs like this:
Starting around the first of April, de-
pending upon when the ground thawS
and becomes firm, carry over blue
grass and native grass furnishes ade-
quate feed. ct is necessary to reserve
such grass from the year before) By
April 20, crested wheat-alfalfa is ready
and needs to be pastured By the first
of June the crested wheat production is
beginning to fall off, and the orchard
grass alfalfa pastures are coming into
full production. Also, by this time, we
are able to move into many areas of
the range that are infested with lark
spur.
Most any kind of grass growth will
produce good gains in May and June,
but along toward the latter part of
July and through August something
special is needed to produce good gains.
During this period the native grasses
become unpalatable and difficult to di-
gest. Fairly good gains can be main
tanned, however, if there is some green
feed to go along with the natives, as
can be obtained in creek bottoms or
mountain pasture.
Alfalfa Pasture
To increase the amount of soft feed
in August and to reserve some of the
creek bottoms for September pastur
ing, we've pastured stands of straight
alfalfa the last two seasons. The cattle
are turned in when alfalfa is in bloom
This year 100 acres of alfalfa thai
would have cut 21A tons of the hay to the
acre were pastured.
The cattle seem to make good enough
gains on the alfalfa and consume more

The pillow turns native
pasture to higher pro-
ducing summer pasture.
AS the native grasses
mature they become less
palatable and digestible,
hence poor S u m m e r

the middle of December.
Limited Feeding
This rounds out the grazing program.
What ever time it is unfavorable to be
out on the range, either in the winter
as '48 and '49, or in the springs when
late storms come, hay and straw is fed.
Two years ago 1 wasn't able to hold
the cows down to a ton of hay because
of the late spring SHOWS. This last year,
all the stock wintered on ton of hay
or less, including the 2-year-olds that
had raised calves, and the bred yearling
heifers.
We have been able to have ample
grass for fall and winter since we keep
some of the stock on small improved
pasture areas of high production when
the native grasses are making growth.
The long grazing season and abun-
dance of soft summer feed has shown
itself in some definite benefits:
We feed Y as much hay as we used
to. We breed to calves as rs instead
of 8. We are crowding average wean-
ing weights upward toward 500 pounds
And at the same time are increasing
cattle numbers. AS weights and cattle
numbers increase, and the amount of
harvested feeds used decreases, there
is only one way for the cost of pro-
duction to go down. To have plenty
of grass is to have economical prOduc-
ton.
