approving the overtime plan.
Only the Personnel Board can
initiate pay raises, said Irelan.
Mr.. Reese commended that he
approved the overtime pay plan
only because the police force is
short of men. He said his inten-
ton was not to grant a pay
raise.
Apparently all parties are in
favor of higher police salaries.
The problem is how to do it
legally.

phate fertilizer or a complete fer
tilizer may be applied at the time
of preparing the soil at the rate
of S pounds per 1000 square feet
for a 10000 fertilizer and up to
is pounds per 1000 square feet
for a complete fertilizer such as
4-12-6.
Early planting is advised so
that early runner plant formation
is ensured. The matted row sys-
tenn has been most popular and
rows are usually spaced from
3 to 4 feet apart, or slightly clos
er in the small home garden.
Plants in the row may be set
from IL to Is inches apart, or
closer, depending on the variety
used. AS runner plants begin to
spread, the row width of plants
should be kept down to is or 20
inches.
When planting, make sure the
crowns are set the same level
they were before. Too deep set
ting of crowns will cause damage
and too shallow a planting will
cause drying out of the crown.
Use good, disease-free, one
year runner plants for trans
planting. 1t is often advisable to
secure plants from a nursery or
other source as near to home as
possible. If they + to be ship
ped any distance, air express
handling might be advisable. In

/ plants of a number of varietie:
are available. These r most de-
sirable to S to obtain maximum
yields, and the assurance OF
healthy plants.
There are many varieties or
the market. For general home
use, the everbearing kinds are
often desired since fruit will be
available Over a long season.
June-bearing varieties might be
considered if a one-crop berry is
desired, especially if it is to be
used for canning or freezing. In
areas where late spring frostS
r hazardous it may be better to
use the everbearing kinds as in
surance against total losses of
fruit for a season.
Some of the popular varieties
grown in the state at the present
time are Red Rich, Brilliant
Gem, Streamliner, Evermore, Su-
perfection, Sioux and Senator
Dunlap.
Strawberries are very shallow
rooted plants and take CONSIDER
able water during the early
growing and fruiting season.
They will respond to light side
dressings of nitrogen fertilizer
during the growing season. Only
light shallow civilizations are de-
sired. In fact, in many areas now,
little cultivation is employed and
weeds are being controlled with
the use of certain selective herb
icides. One pound, PAD anime
or 3 to 6 pounds of SEES per acre
can be applied after the plants
have become established but be-
fore flowers and fruits develop.
Or, five pounds per acre of IPC
or CIPC, applied early in the
or late in the fall has
been found effective.

Rose Bay. Are Near
ing Completion

Operators of the oyster houses
in Hyde County are making prep
arations for the opening of the
oyster season next Monday, Octo-
Der 1; the season will run through
March 1.
Two new and modern oyster
houses are being built; one at
Rose Bay by C. B. Jennette, and
one at, Swan Quarter by George
Clark.
While there is as usual some
talk among the operators of the
bivalves being scarce and prices
being high, it is expected that the
supply of oysters will be fairly
sufficient; some improvement
should be noted over last year
when hurricanes buried many OF
the oysters in the sand.
Practically all the buyers said
that a stricter enforcement of the
states Gull law, which requires
that oysters not measuring al
least three inches be returned to
the water where taken, would re-
suit In bigger and better oysters
by giving the small ones a chance
to develop.

LIES LABORS,
SACRIFICES AND
CONVERSATIONS
By Arthur D. Gore
Tin the News and Observer)

Never went to the State Capitol.
Never as much as laid eyes on a
college. Never worshipped God in
side brick church. Never heard
pipe organ, nor owned must
cal instrument of any sort. Just
stayed home and shelled garden
peas and shuck roast'n'ear and
snap beans and fed the biddies and
had child every two years, and
some times oftener.
She prayed on her knees, though
in the little frame implanted house
of God beside the sandy road and
kept vigil over the babies in illness
and put the fear of immortality in
their hearts and saved egg-money
to supplement her Woodworking
husbands meager savings; and
when each child reached college
maturity he was sent away in his
turn to "take it or leave it."
They together often talked about
their delayed honeymoon; and she
said she'd love a ride on the train
from their depot flag-stop to Ra-
leigh, and he stretched it out to
New York, and then they'd laugh
and both fall fast asleep, maybe
not so much as dreaming from the
fatigue of hard day passed and
the certain one tomorrow. Never
in all their uneventful days did
they so much as dare invest in
fuxury-except train fare at
Christmas for the son or daugh-
ter's return home for the holidays.
1t was thus for the whole span
from the first's arrival to the 10th
ones graduation day in the semi
nary, for to have at least one min
lister in the family was next to
Heaven itself.
When the grandbabies began
trekking in to soil the rugs, he
was blind and she was in a Wheel
chair, and one day l was passing
their last resting place and after
reading the epitaphs, it just occur
red to me that God was giving
them the most beautiful HONEY
MOON eyes heretofore had not
seen, nor ears ever heard, and far,
far beyond their fondest dreams.
