THE GLEANER ISSUED KVEkY THUR8DAT. J. D. KERNODLE, Editor. $1.00 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. BnUrad at tne Pontoffloe at Graham, N. O., ai wcoud-olaaa matter. QRAHAM, N. 0., JULY 7, 1927. President Coolidge celebrated his 55th birthday in the Black Hills on Jnly 4th. A mammoth cake lit up with 55 candles formed a part of the menu. The government treasury show ed a surplus of $635,800,921 at the close of the fiscal year, June 30. Receipts amounted to $4,129,000, 000; expenditures to $3,493,000, 000. The national debt at the same time was $*8,511,906,000, a reduction of $1,131,309,000 for the year. The man-hunt for Broadus Mil ler, the negro who assaulted and slew Gladys Kincaid, 15-year old Morganton girl, on Tuesday night, June 21st, ended last Sunday morning. Commodore Burleson, a hardy mountaineer, came upon Miller in the mountains near Lin ville Falls. The negro was armed with a shot gun with a single shell. He fired on Burleson who escaped behind a tree. Burleson fired five shots from his pistol, killing the negro instantly. Thus ended One of the most determined man hunts in the annals of the state. Rewards for Miller, dead or alive, aggregated $2000. Commander Richard E. Byrd and his three companions, who took off Wednesday morning from Long Island for a non-stop flight for Paris ended in a landing in the English Channel, near Ver Sur-Mer, 200 yards from the French shore at 3:30 Friday morn ing. They flew over France for hours, but a dense fog obscured everything from view. In the landing they suflered some slight bruises, but they swam ashore. Since, they have received the plaudits of the French in a degree that seems not to have been dulled by the honors heaped upon Col. Lindbergh. They were in the air 43 hours. Big Time Promised at Farm Picnics. The 20,000 or more citizens of North Carolina who visited the branch station farms during the annual picnics and field days held last summer know what to expect at the field days this year, but even they will be surprised. "A good time will be had by all," promises Dr. R. Y. Winters, director of the experiment sta tion. Dr. Winters is working with Fred E. Miller, in charge of test farms, and the several super intendents to see that good pro grams and valuable exhibits are prepared for each gathering. The series begins with the pic nic' at the Blackland station near Statesville on July 21st. Then there will be a break due to the State Farmers' Convention at Raleigh, July 26 to 28. Immedi ately following the'State Conven tion, however the picnics begin again with the one at the Tobacco Branch Station, scheduled for Au gust 4. Then there is another vacant week due to the meeting of the National Soybean Associa tion at Washington on August 9, 10 and 11. On August 18, the field day will be held at the Mountain Branch Station near Swannanoa; on September 1, will be the picnic for the Upper Coast al Station near Willard. Last year about 21,000 persons attended these events and this year the college authorities invite all farmers and their friends liv ing adjacent.to one of the stations to make plane to attend the picnic held at that station. A good ?peaking program is being ar ranged. There will be trips of inspection over the fields and grounds and there will be exhib its showing the nature of ;he work being dons on the farm. Much time and labor will be expended to make the pienie suc cessful. Pyrotol coating only 18.90 wm used to blow oot some stamps that had broken $100 worth of plows on the farm of W. D. Leg gett of Edgecombe-eonnty. Leave Cotton Thick For Biggest Yields Don't chop the cotton too thinly on the row but leave two planus the width of the hoe apart aud get bigger yields. That's the advice of P. H. Kime, plant breeder aud agrono mist at the North Carolina Exper iment Station of State College. "The results which we have had in testing thicker spacing of cotton are in line^with results secured by farmers and other experiment stations in the South," says Mr. Kime. "If we are to get the largest yield of seed cotton per acre, it is nesessary to have from 15 to 20 thousand plants on each acre of land. The largest yields that we have secured in our spacing tests were made where the plants were eight inches apart in the row with one plant to the hill or 12 inches apart in the row with two plants to each hill. Spacing the hills 15, 18 and 24 inches apart has not given us as good yields as the closer spac ings. The yields on the wider spacings may be increased, how ever, by leaving 3 to 4 plauts to each hill but even with this the yields are not as large as from the closer spacings." The reason why cotton produces heavier when closely spaced is that the vegetative growth is re duced and the plants fruit earlier. This latter is an important matter under boll weevil conditions, ex plains Mr. Kime. He states that the wider spacings, require more labor with the hoe and it is usual ly difficult to secure a uniform stand of 3 and 4 plants at regular intervals. For practical purposes, it is safe to chop the cotton the width of the hoe leaving an average of two plants in each hill. Tarheel Chickens Will Visit Canada. Two pens of Tarheel poultry, oue containing a trio of Silver Leghorns and the other a trio of Golden Wyandottes, will be exhi bited at the Third World's Poultry Congress at Ottawa, Canada, as a result of the renown won by poul try club members of this state in breeding fine birds. Officials of the Madison Square Garden Poultry Show at New York Cityaie collecting an exhibit of rare or unusual varieties of poul try grown in'the United States to be exhibited at the Poultry Con gress which meets July 27 to Aug ust 4. For several years the poultry club members of this State have exhibited their poultry attheGarden show. Last year some of the major prizes were won by. these members. One club mem ber won the blue ribbon for hav ing the best Rhode Island Red pullet in the show. Others won ribbons on some of the little known varieties. As a result, Harvey C. Wood of the Garden Poultry show wired State College asking that exhibits of Silver Leghorns and Golden Wyandottes from this State be sent for inclu sion iu the national exhibit. The poultry will be selected from the flocks of Catawba Coun ty club members and the birds will be shipped directly to New York by County Agent J. W. Hon Iriolra J. M. Gray, assistant director of extension at State College, and Dr. B. F. lv/mpp, head of the poultry department, state that this is a very unusual honor to come to North Carolina. At the Third World's Paultry Congress, the birds from North Carolina will be exhibited with fine poultry from every nation of the earth. This honor is but an added tri bute to the rapid strides being made in poultry growing in this State, say these agricultural lead ers. Since 1015, the college has conducted active work in poultry with rural boys and girls. In re cent years, this work has begun to bear profitable fruit. Beautiful home surroundings also impress the child as many farm women have learned since they began to improve their kitchens and other interiors of the home. A rotation of crops will aid in combatting insects. Where a field is grown in the same crop year after year, there is a natural In crease in the number of insects which attack this crop. The average North Carolina farm that neglects the home-mak ing idea will generally fail com mercially. If the home is provid ed with livestock, poultry, garden and farm prodncts with the sur plus sold, a real farm home will be developed regardless of com mercial success. Tom Tarheel says his oldest boy is mote willing to help on the farm since he has all the money he can make from his own pigs and land.
