pUnt can survive on tight toils
and in droughty period* which
would kill many oi our common
William msmttaood one thing
which every one who has aericea
should know and remember. He
said, "Sericea makes the best
hay of any plant I know if you
cut it when it is about a foot
high. It it gets much higher be
fore it is cut, it gets pretty stem
my and tough."
Planted in the same field as
the Sericea Lespedeia is an acre
of Bahia grass, which is another
deep-rooted, and drought-resist
ant plant. Also in the same field
is an acre of a mixture of sericea
and Bahia. AH three plots were
cut for hay last year, and excel
lent hay was gotten from all of
the plots. Ibe plots will be cut
for hay again this year.
Only one cutting is planned for
the Sericea plot Oils summer as
William intends to save a crop
of seed. The seed wiS be used
to plant more Sericea in several
acres of light soil in the same
field.
Kan uraeiz, riant Materials
Specialist with the Soil Conser
vation Service was in Murphy
two weeks ago to observe the
Bahia Grass planting on the Har
shaw Farm, and a planting of
Tick Clover on the McCombs farm
at Peachtree. He was well pleas
ed with both of these plantings,
for which seed were furnished
by the Plant Materials Section.
Karl also was interested in a
planting of King Ranch Bluestem
Grass on the McCombs farm. Due
to the hot and dry weather we
have experiences in this section
lately, however, ths planting has
not made much of a show so
far. It is hoped that the seed
will still germinate and come up
to a stand. This grass is a native
of Texas and has produced fine
results on steep and shallow soils
there.

A letter recently received from
Mr. H. A. Smith, who is Tribu
tary Watershed Representative
with the Tennessee Valley Au
thority, states that Peachtree
Creek watershed contains eleven
thousand, six hundred forty eight
acres. fbis is more than the mini
mum required for consideration
of an . Application for assistance
from (he Federal Government un

you who live in Peachtree or

tion District. They can give you
more information on the steps

Oovernor at North Carolina on
die Democratic ticket Saturday,
June ?. hia victory would Minify
a political chanfe {or many raa
In the firtt place. Dr. Laka is
not regarded aa a politician.
If you recall, ha tank himself
out of the race completely at one
time? only to be pusbad back Into
it by the pushing and pulling and
prodding of spontaneous public
opinion
Now with all due reaped to
thoae involved in his campaign,
his candidacy far the portion of
Governor has been guided for the
mod part by rank amateurs in
the field of political strategy,
know-how, and general approach.
On die other hand, Dr. Lake
has had pitted against him an al
most solid front of all the leader
ship?political, educational, and
industrial? in North Carolina.
FEAR INTO KINGMAKERS . .
Dr. I. Beverly Lake's organiza
tion has not been adept or in any
way talented with the old political
skill of rolling with the punches
or at straight punching where
openings have appeared in the
attack of his opponents.
And yet, let's admit the man
has thrown real fear into the
hearts of the king-makers by com
ing through with 1M.OOO votes in
the first primary.
Most observers we have talked
with feel that about twice that
many ballots for Dr. I. Beverly
Lake would be enough to assure
victory for him come Saturday,
June 25.
But that would be 360,000
votes . . .
TROUBLES INTO ADVAN
TAGES . . . Terry Sanford and
his astute and multitudinous ad
visors have done nothing less
than an all out wonderful job
ot organizing and conducting his
campaign.
In fact, consensus among those
who keep up with such things here
and abroad is that the Sanford
Campaign has been as scienti
fically handled from all view
points as any ever conducted in
the Old North State.
The candidate has gathered
around him a large group of
quick-witted and clever political
advisors unusually sharp at milk
ing the most of opportunities?
and in some cases actually turn
ing potential trouble spots into
advantages.
DEEP WATER ... Due to the
fact that most of the people who
are supporting *Dr. Lake are still
relatively quiet about it, no one
has been able to determine his
true voting strength.
Very few people outside of his
inner circle of friends and hard
core support thought Dr. Lake
would be better than fourth in the
first primary.
Nobody will ever know what
happened to Seawell? they arc
i still scratching their heads over
that one? in the first go-around.

WHAT THEY SAY . . . Deapite
what you may have beard or rand
to the contrary, the chief differ
ence between Candidate Tarry
Sanford and Candidate I. Beverly
Lake seema to be along these
lines:
Or. Lake says be la for all
good things we can pay for with,
out the necessity of putting on
extra taxes. Sanford has said he
is for them even if it becomes
necessary to raise the taxes to
get them.
On segregation. Lake favors
sticking with the other Southern
States which so far have had
little or no integration, no cloeed
schools, and no Federal troop*?'
