N. C. SOYBEAN CROP
is ABOVE LAST YEAR

Raleigh.-The North Carolina
soybean crop is forecast at
4,769,000 bushels as of October L.
This is an increase of % percent
over the 1858 crop of 3,S14,000
bushels. A crop of 4,769,000 BUSH
els would be the largest crop since
1851 when production totaled
5,098,000 bushels.
On the basis of reports made by
growers to the North Carolina
Crop Reporting Service, the yield
per acre is forecast at 16.5 bushels.
This exceeds the 1858 average
yield by two bushels and equals
the record yield of 16.5 bushels
set in 1851 and 1852. The major
portion of the soybean crop is pro-
duced in Coastal Plains counties
and these counties have received
more rainfall than the Piedmont
section of the State. Dry weather
did cause some shedding of blooms;
however, good set of beans is
evident over most of the CONNER
cial area.

"A modern farmer, to be sue
cessful, must be an economist,
engineer, mechanic, chemist, BIZ
ologist, as well as a practical
person with a love of the soil and
growing plants and animals"
points out G. l.. Noble, director
of the National Com m tt e.
Likewise, today's homemaker
must be a nutritionist, interior
decorator, textile specialist, hor-
ticulturist, and an operating en-
gineer if her home is to be mod
ern and efficient, and her family
healthy, happy and well dressed.
All Club members, by training
in agriculture and homemaking,
are ready to engage in a practical
and profitable farm and home life.
TOO, each All Club is a tiny
democracy, and club members,
trained in the operation of the
club, are potentially our most
solid citizens of the future. For
these reasons, All is receiving
widespread support from many
organizations aid l.vie LEADERS,"

Simplifying the News

Much is said about newspapers print
ing so much crime news and running
comic strips of dubious moral value.
However. there are some constructive
trends in the press. One is putting
the meanings and pronunciations of
unfamiliar words in brackets beside the
words. This is an effort to further the
readers popular education and is a
very good thing.
In reporting on the Kentucky Crystal
Cave caper, the word psychological"
had its meaning tcave study after it.
OF course, we could look it up. but
who does? I can remember when some
one (who didn't know told me that
psychological" meant having to do with
snakes. ! believed this for years.
Also wish that writer's would get in
the habit of indicating the pronuncia-
tions of unusual names. Personally
rename the characters I run across in
the news. Stepan Trofimovitch YER
hovensky is Steve" Varvara Petrovna
Stravrogin is "Varva" Nicholay
VSyevolodovitch Stavrogin Is 'Nicky."
Lizaveta Nikolaevna is Lizzie" How
wish that knew the correct pronun-
citation of these names! More power to
the press in aiding us on our upward
road toward accuracy by supplying
meanings and pronunciations.

Now children are called "siblings,"
and the human being is reduced to-
the status of case"
Then, man was a man. for a. that,
and mostly because Of a. that.
This old human being Zone Of the
last of the general practitioners could
have purchased both sides of 10th street
all the way to Columbia road.
And that was not so long ago. either.
If he had, and if he had held onto
the lots for number of years, he
would have been a millionaire, which
he probably was, anyway. @
A fine old man, strong, healthy -
and yet he said that he studied SO
hard in his youth that it did some
thing to his mind.
The mind certainly needs rest, now
and then.
Not that the bulk Of thinking done
by most persons is going to ruin one.
But the steadiness of it tends to do
something. and its effect depends upon
the individual.
The steady reader wants might
