Dear Dan: How on earth could
you ever advise a girl to go ahead
and play basketball? I'm only II
but such undignified TomboyiSh-
ness I've frowned on for a long
time.

barrasSing and humiliating to he

l. Dear Diane: If the worst UNI
ladylike thing a teen-aae girl ever
does is play basketball with other
girls on a team, then I'say more
Ipower to them. You're not with
it, that's all. Many communities
have all-girl basketball leagues
and in my town 1 know if you
called some of the players Gun
ladylike," your 5 foot 10h inches
would be whitfield down quite a
bit.
I'd rather know my daughter
was playing basketball with other
girls ON a public court than doing
something else 1 wouldn't approve
of.
Dear Dan: I'm a high school
freshman and have a friend who
is a sophomore. This girl has g
boy friend whom she's known but
just a short time and when he
comes to see her, they stand out
in front kissing and then &C
out in his car for hours at a time
When her boy friend can't come
to see her in his car, her father
actually picks him up. Some
times her parents leave then
alone in the house until 2 O'Clock
in the morning. What do you thinl
about thiS?-Disgusted.
Dear Disguised: 1 probably thinl
the same as you, that someons
should wise up and put a stop tx
it but if the girls parents are tina
broadminded, who are we to sd.
they're wrong?
1 like to think Pm broadmindeC
too but there is a limit. Let's hop'

How can 1 get out of taking the
first girl to the dance without
hurting her feeling?-Cannonball.
Dear Cannonball: You can't, old
buddy, and if you tried it, I'd be
sitting back here hoping your little
plan would backfire.
You've alredy obligated your
self and you just don't break a
date under those circumstances to
accept another invitation. You
don't have to tell Girl No. 2 you're
already dated UP unless she asks
you. Go to the dance with the
first girl and see to it that she

Dear Dan: I read not too long
ago where you advised a boy who
had quit school to join the Army.
I'm interested because my 16-
year-old boy quit but he's started
back again this semester. Whether
or not he will stick it out, 1 don't
know. Do many boys actually
complete their school after they
get into Service?-Mother.
Dear Mother: You'd be surprised
at the number of boys who not
only complete their high school,
education but who also take col
lege subjects through the mai
once they're in service.
However, 1 hope that your sor
stays with his hometown schoo.
and how come you let him quit in
the first place? This time put your
foot down and don't let it up unit
he has his diploma.

Successful Farm
Tour Staged In
Amelia County

AMELIA. Aug. 5 Thirty
farmers and professional work
ers participated in an agricul-
tural farm tour on August l. The
purpose of the tour was to show
the importance of selecting the
proper soil types for the crops to
be planted on it.
The morning was spent on the
Ashman Brothers dairy farm
where it was pointed out that
soil types vary within field and
this fact accounts for the failure
os some crops when planted on
soil types not suitable to the
crop.
Lunch was served on the farm
of Judge j. G. Jefferson. Jr., by
Mrs. G. B. Lush and Mrs. John
Woods with the assistance Of Gail
Lush and Bonnie Lush.
The afternoon was spent on the
farm Of Mrs. w. c. Lester and
w. T. Roberts. where the group
observed the relationship Of a
good fertilizing program to crop
yields when planted on soils suit
able for crops.
G.. r. Epperson, extension ag
economist of VPI was present and
stressed the Importance Of plan
ming a crop system that will
place the crops on soils that are
suitable to the crops planted
The tour was planned by the
Young Farmers Club of America
and the Extension Service. It was
concluded with a watermelon
cutting.
Many farmers expressed the
opinion that it was very educa-
tional and that they would like
to have similar tours in the fu-
ture.

Fertilizer is one of the main
reasons for high yields, along
with good production practices.
therefore. a farmer can't afford
not to use plenty Of fertilizer.
Nitrogen, phosphate and pot
ash are the three main plant
foods needed by growing plants.
The lack of either one of these
plant foods will cause a crop not
to produce efficiently. Every
farmer should make sure that he
has enough Of each Of these rlant
foods to produce the crop being
grown, says Holmes.
Proper use Of fertilizer is one
of the biggest factors in crop
and pasture production, he
says.
A look at results Of research
in comparison with our present
Yields will show that farmers in
Amelia county are not using
enough fertilizer.
The Charlotte County Research
Station has consistently shown
that it can produce four tons of
alfalfa per acre, year after year,
yet the average yield of alfalfa
in Amelia county is only % tons
per acre. This is proof that many
farmers are not using enough
