PLAIN HORSE PLAY
By Lonnie E. Leqqe

look for it far away from there.
James finished peeling the tur-
nip. then took a big bite: spit
ting it out almost with the same
motion. He started running for
the spring yelling:
''Helrs fire! Give me some wa
ter. I'm burning up!" He soon
found out that water, coffee, milk,
vinegar or whiskey would not put
that fire out and it would rage
for hours.
He swore, ''I'l kill that Bill
Highly If it's my last act" But
before the evening was over and
the dancing had begun the burn
ing had stopped and he laughed
with the rest of them, but prob
ably not as loud or long.
Indian turnip does not blister
but leaves a burning sensation in
your mouth like ten thousand
red-hot needles were sticking in
it. The burning stops in four or
five hours with seemingly no i'll
effects, but no one takes the Sec
ond bite.
Some time that fall after James
had returned to the city. Bill re-
ceived a letter postmarked from
James home town. He tore it
open hastily. wondering who
would be writing from there.
There were several sheets of blank
paper which he turned this way
and that trying to discover some
writing. but all that was visible
was a fine powder sitting out.
"Talcum powder" said Bill with
contempt as he held it up and
shifted it. He finally bundled the
whole thing up and stuck it in his
hip pocket while scratching his
nose. Both hands started itching
at the same time. He scratched
first one and then the other. while
various parts Of his body began
itching violently. and SO fast it
was impossible to scratch them
all. AS he began to itch right I'M
der his pistol pocket a sudden
light seemed to burst right in front
of his eyes.
Bill, who had never heard of
Itching powders" before. stood
still for a moment. then started
home on a fatfoot run saying:
Holy COW! that city slicker has
sent me the Seven-year-itch."

Winter Cover Practice
Conserves Plant Food

An important feature of the new
Winter Cover Practice under the
Agricultural Conservation Pro-
gram is the way cover crops take
up plant food and hold these nu-
trients for use the following sum-
mer after the crop is plowed under
according to Fred R. Keith, chair
man of the State ASC Committee.
He explained that for minerals
to be of any value in feeding grow
ing plants they must be soluble.
When cropland is unprotected,
winter rains and melting SHOWS

who was taking his summer vaca-
ton in the mountains.
Rube called James one morning
as usual at four-thirty saying: If
you are going to Nose Higby's
barn raising with me. you'd better
light shuck."
James answered. IAN right, !"
but he thought, How in the devil
can you build a barn In the dark"
He arose and washed in the tin
basin at the kitchen-door bench.
Inside the kitchen they all sat
down to heaping platters OF ham
and eggs, hot biscuits. butter and
coffee strong enough to float an
iron wedge.
Break Of day found them both
well on their way to Nose Higby's
farm down on the creek. The
community men began arriving
with their women folks and chill
dren in wagons. buggies and
horseback. By sun-up some twen-
ty-five or thirty men were assem-
bled where the logs lay, peeled
and notched. The work went
along fast until the logs had to be
skidded higher and higher by
main strength and awkwardness.
Noon found them well along
with the work as they stopped for
the feast prepared by the neigh
borhood women and served on
boards laid across sawhorses un-
der the shade trees.

him a city slicker and fair game

plants until they are plowed under
In the spring. In the decaying pro-
cess the plant food becomes avail
able again for the new crop.
Keith explains that this new
winter cover practice has only been
approved for II drought-hit coun-
ties but that additional counties
may be approved on the recon-
mendation of the county technical
committee and the County ASC
Committee. BY providing this type
of assistance to Tar Heel farmers
who grow and pillow under cover
crops, the Agricultural Conserva-
ton Program is actually helping
to save tons and tons of scarce
fertilizer.

"The screwiest bowling match
I ever heard Of" Henry began
but We'll take it from there.
Tt used to be that no florists
convention was complete without
a bowling tournament. After
such an affair in Washington
some 40 years ago, the delega-
tions from Chicago and Phila-
delphia became -embroiled over
the relative tenpin merits of
scrawny little Chicagoan named
Stevens and a big, powerful
Philadelphia Greek named Poll
tis.
4
After an extensive wrangle
over conditions, a match was ar
ranged. Because of Stevens
puniness and Politis' heft, the
Chicagoans thought a short
match only fair. But not the
Philadelphians. They demanded
a 25-game test or no dice, and
had their way.
The betting was brisk, and at
the end Of 10 games it seemed
the Chicagoans were hooked,
good. Politis won 10 straight,
with three more needed to
clinch.
But in the eighth game Po-
litis' thumb blistered. In the
ninth it began to swell. In the
10th the contest was suspended
while the thumb was doctored.
Stevens won the 11th. Also
the 18th.
BY this time it was agonizing
for Politis to lift a~ball.
To his way Of thinking, he'd
proved his superiority and de-
served the victory then and
there. The Chicagoans thought
differently.
But me thum'. me thun.'," he
yelled, dramatically holding aloft
