GRAHAM, N. C., Sept. 11, 191'J
Encouraged, no doubt, by the
1 factthat the U. S. Congress is bit
terly attacking the peace treaty
and is slow in giving its sanction,
Home exhibiting strong pro-Ger
* man sentiments b\ act, if nut by
word, the news now comes from
Europe that the Hun is again pre
paring to go to war on the I'oles.
The Hun has been whipped and
acknowledged it, but there be some
who would comfort the viper that
he might strike again.
If the objectors have something
better than the League of Nations
and Peace Treaty that will reduce
the prospect of future wars to a
minimum, President Wilson and
the rest of the people want to see it.
In the language of the President
in one of his great speeches a few
days ago in the West, let them
"put up or shut up."
A coterie of partisans is light
ing the peace treaty and league,
but they have almost spent them
selves. The tactics employed will
npt work. For instance, the re
port -WJM sent out that Senators
Simmons and Overman would not
support it, but the Senators have
put the report to sleep.
General Pershing landed in New
York Monday after two years' ab
sence at the head of America's
greatest army. As he stepped
from the great ship Leviathan he
was handed by Secretary Haker a
commission as General, a rank
previously held by only three
Americans— Grant, Shefidan and
Sherman.
Mebane Holds Splendid Fair
Mebane demonstrated last week
that she could hold a successful /air.
It «H • success all round—Thurs
day was the opening day and Satur
day the closing day.
Mr. £. S. Tarkor, Jr., made the
opening address on Thursday and
the tribute.he paid to tho Mobanc
people was timely and deserved. On
Fiiaay Hon. Root. N. Pago, former
Congress man, made a fine speech.
On Saturday Judge Jeter C. l'ritch
ard delivered an address that was
highly appreciated.
We are not going to write up the
Mebane Fair. To do that, one should
have bad pencil and note book and
plenty of tune.
To hold the fair a group of several
big tobacco warehouses, with only
streets separating them, were used
lor displaying exhibits. If the build
ings had been placed for the pur
pose the arrangement could scarcely
nave been improved upon.
There was everything that was
necessary to make a good agricul
tural and community fair—fine cat
tle, bones, bogs, sheep and |>oultry,
(arm products, manufactures —cot-
ton, wood, iron, flour and meal,
canned products—as good as such
can be made. Tho merchants and
dealers in farm machinery did their
part.
It was a success that Mebane,
Alamance and adjoining counties
can justly feel proud of.

Vetch One of Best Cover Crops and
Soil Improvers.
West Raleigh, N. C., Sept.—
One of the beat winter cover
crops, especially for the poorer
saiuly soils of the coastal plain
area, is vetch. It will also be
found useful in the piedmont sec
tion. It will grow well on poor
land, and when properly inocu
lated will. obtain a part of its
nitrogen supply from the air, thus
improving the nitrogen supply in
the soil.
Hairy vetch is the kind most
commonly grown in North Caro
lina. It needs a fine compact
secd-bud, such as is provided for
wheat and oats; however, a
thorough disking will sometimes
put the land in proper condition.
Some farmers sow it on stubble or
between cotton and corn rows,
covering by means of a harrow or
small cultivator.
It is necessary to plant the seed
in the late summer or early fall
for best results. Because of its
trailiug habit of growth, it does
bettor when sown with some erect
growing crop like oats, rye, or
wheat. Unless it has such a sup
port the vines will fall, rendering
them difficult to harvest, either
for seed or for hay.
When sown with oats, the seed
ing should be at the rates of from
20 to 30 pounds of vetch per acre,
and from about 1J to 2 bushels of
oats. When sown alone, at least
1 bushel per acre of vetch seed is
required. It may bo put in broad
casted or with a drill, but in each
case should be covered from 1 to
2 inches deep. In the coestal
plain section the seed should be
planted before October Ist.
When handled properly it re
seeds itself, and is one of the few
leguminous crops which can be
grown during the winter for both
grazing and soil improvement. It
(its in well with most systems of
rotation. Corn, sorghum, cow
peas, soybeans and other crops
may follow after vetch. When
the cultivation of these crops has
been liuished the votch will come
up, generally making some growth
during the fall, and providing
early gra/.ing in the spring.
It makes good hay if cut just
before the plants are in full blooin.
Experience lias shown that the
most satisfactory way in which to
harvest this hay is to cut after
the dew is off in the morning, and
allow the vines to lie in the sun
for a few hours until the leaves
and stems begin to wilt. Toward
the evening the vines should be
raked into wind-rows. The hay
should then be placed on venti
lated stacks.
Tho yield secured from vetch
and oat hay generally depends
upon the fertility of the soil and
the earlineHS of planting. How
ever, on soils of poor or medium
fertility no other annual winter
legume can compete with it. Yields
of from 1J to 2 tons per acre are
not uncommon.
A good crop will contain from
S3O to $35 worth of soil fertility
per acre, aud when the whole crop
is plowed into the soil enriches
tho land very rapidly. It also
furnishes excellent gra/.ing for
horses, cattle and sheep. Hogs
do not like it when other green
crops can be had.— Division of
Agronomy, N. C. Agricultural Kx
tension Service.
Wheat Declines, Corn Improves

IMPORTATION BLOODED STOCK.
A Total of 1,350 Aminab Brought in
" During Last Fiscal Year-Aai
mals Consist of Cattle,
Hogs and Sheep.
Reports made to Mr. E. S. Mill
saps, District Agent for the Agri
cultural Kxtension Service in the
Piedmont region of North Caro
lina, reveal that approximately
1,350 blooded auimals have been
brought in.o this district during
the fiscal year ending July 1 last.
Mr. Millsaps' territory embraces
23 counties, the figures showing
that 369 registered males and 981
reentered females came into these
counties, due to activities of coun
ty farm demonstration agents.
Complete returns were not ob
tainable from every county, due
to Neverai changes in personnel,
which probably holds tbe figures
lower than they otherwise would
be.
According to Mr. Millsaps, this
importation of pure bred stock is
probably without precedent in the
extension work of the State. His
figures do not take into considera
tion the natural increase of blood
ed stock from animals already
brought in, but only those ani
mals which havo been imported
from outside of the State, or from
other conuties. For a number of
years there has been a healthy in
crease in home produced Btock,
but the new biood brought in this
past year gives a treat impetus to
this number, and is greater than
in any previous year.
The last census report gives the
livestock population, that is, cat
tle, sheep and hogs, to be 378,115.
If there is us much stock on the
farms now in these 23 counties as
there was then, the iucrease in
registered pure breds is a little
more than three-tenths of one per
cent of the total. The leading
breeds of cattle which have been
brought in are Guernsey, Jerspy,
Holstein, Hereford, Augus and
Shorthorn; of hogs, Berkshire,
Duroc-Jersey, Poland China, and
O-. I. 0.; of sheep, Hampshire and
Shropshire. These seem to be the
most popular breeds, though
others have been brought in.
Mecklenburg leads for the year
by importing 161 fine animals,
Rowan comes next with 160 to
her credit, Rutherford third with
126, Catawba fourth 107, and
Wilkes fifth with a total of 92 Im
ported. The other counties in the
district run lower. Mr. Millsaps
sees in this moveineut a greatly
increased interest by tbe farmers
in having the best Btock only.
This will mean that the animals
will return more for the feed and
care given them.
