To Vote Today
On Local Rule

KANSAS CITY. June / (R.-
The Southern Baptist Conven-
ton, after side-tracking the is
sue for two days. faced q vote
today on its official attitude to-
ward local church autonomy.
The Rev. James w. Bulman.
East Spencer, N. c.. who three
times was refused a hearing,
finally got the question intro
duced late yesterday in two
forms: A proposed constitution
al amendment and q resolution.
The constitutional amendment
automatically is carried over to
the 1857 convention. At Mr.. Bull
mans request, the resolution
was sent to the Resolutions Com
Imittee for study. The commit
tee is scheduled to report today
and a spokesman predicted it
would return the Bulman pro-
posal for a vote.

its coneregation. Mr. Bulman
said such q policy was declared
by the convention In 1928 but
two years ago the North Caro-
lima Supreme Court interpreted
it to the contrary in the So
called Rocky Mount case.
Mr.. Bulman's resolution, II
passed by the convention. would
e'repudiate the definition Of the
nature of a Baptist Church is
sued by the North Carolina SUI
preme Court"
1t also states "all Baptist gem
eral bodies are voluntary organi-
cations"
The constitutional amendment
would specify afiliation with the
convention is not required for a
congregation to call itself a Bap-
fist church. It also would
specify the convention can take
no action to prevent a local con-
gregation from withdrawing.
Minority Wins Case
At Rocky Mount. the majority
of the congregation, led by its
minister, the Rev. Samuel H.. w,
Johnston. voted to take the
church out Of the local, State and
Southern Baptist associations
The minority carried the case tc
court and won back control and
management Of the church prop
erty.
Mr.. Bulman emphasized to
newsmen he opposed the action
Of the Johnston faction but was
fighting on principle for local
majority rule.

The Clarksburg Community
Association met at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Paul F. Burner
on February 81 at 8 p. m. Mrs.
Allen T. Clement read the min
utes of the previous meeting.
Ralph Martz read the treasurer's
report.
Russell King, general chairman,
reported that his committee is
making a survey of the sites,
checking the types of buildings
and will make recommendations
regarding a community center at
the next meeting.
1t was proposed that a general
meeting be held at the Clarks-
burg school in the future where
all the people could consider all
angles involved in constructing
the center.
1t was further suggested that
board of directors be selected
consisting of nine to 10 men to go
forward with the building pro-
gram. This community center
will be built by people of the
area. 1t will be independent of
any club, association and organ
ization. 1t was suggested that
the building should be located on
site of two acres. The hall
should be at least 60 feet by 100
feet with room to expand, and
with ample parking facilities.
Ben LIE Blanc, the chairman of
the light committee, reported that
plans are being made as to how
the light subscriptions could be
collected in the future.
He said that he hoped that
the committee could establish col
lection stations at the homes of
Emory Edward, at Ralph Martz
and Clarence Day. Of course,
anyone could send their subscrip-
tons direct to Ora King. The
other members of the committee
are Gather Draper, Jesse Davis
and Weaver Kimball.
Refreshments were served by
Mrs. Paul Burner, Mrs. Austin

Tobacco Planting
Of IS Percent
Will Keep Base

Tobacco farmers were assured
today by Chester S. Bradley, state
chairman for the Agricultural
Sterilization and Conservation
Committee, that if they plant as
much as rs percent of their to-
bacco allotment in 1854 or 1855,
or If they plant as much as IS
percent of their allotment in 1856,
they will maintain the same base
acreage for 1857 as they have at
present.
This will not mean, according
to Mr.. Bradley, that the farmer
will necessarily have the same al
lotment in 1857 as in 1856, be-
cause the adjustment factor will
be figured each year on the basis
Of the then current supply.
Therefore, as supplies change the
factor will change. b

Slow Planting
Brings Large
Pea Yield

If you see a farmer planting
peas with his tractor in high
gear and the throttle wide open,
remember where that field is To-
Gated. Then, go back ind take
look at the field next summer
at harvest time chances are
some of the plants will be ma
ture and others only half grown.
Andrew A. Duncan, University
of Maryland extension vegetable
crop specialist, says there is US
ually an uneven growth of peas
when the drill is pulled at high
speeds. This uneven growth re-
suits because peas are planted
at different depths as the drill
bounces in and out of the
ground he explains. Some of
the seed may be planted SO deep
the seedlings never get through
the ground at all.
TO assure an even depth of
planting and even growth of
the crop-hold the planting speed
down to three to three and half
miles per hour"
The extension specialist has
several other recommendation
for getting a good stand of peas.
One of the recommendations is
to treat seed with a combination
Observation-Disclosures, for protec-
ton against both insects and di-
seases. Arasan plus dieldrin gives
double protection, SO does Captain
plus lindane. These mixtures can
be purchased already prepared.
you can't get a good yield
without thick stand, so be sure
to plant enough seed per acre"
Mr.. Duncan advises. He suggests
five bushels per acre of Alaska
peas, or six bushels per acre of
sweet peas.
After good level seeded is
prepared and the drill is repaired
to get it in good working order,
find somebody to ride the tail
board of the drill before you
start seeding" Mr.. Duncan says.
Paying man to ride around
on the drill may seem like a
waste of money, but he is there
to make sure the drill spouts
aren't clogged and that precau.
ton may prevent some big bare
spots in the field"
Shortly after peas are planted
the farmer has another problem
on his hands phids. SO Mr..
Duncan's final suggestion is, BE
ready to kill aphids with malath.
