GRAHAM, N. C., FEB. 2, 1928.
Stedman?Overman?Simmons.
Three North Carolinians, now
in the Congress of the United
States where they have served
with signal distinction for mauy
years, had their birthdays in
January.
The eldest of these is Major
Charles M. Stedman, Representa
tive of this, the 5tb,Congressional
District, who was 87 years old on
January 29th. He is the oldest
member ,of the House and the
only Civil War veteran in Con
gress; and, furthermore, he is
the last one of that memorable
conflict that will ever occupy a
seat in the world's greatest law
making body. Following his
birthday he reported for duty,
and was feeling good. He spoke
of retiring a few j ears ago, but
his fellow members of all parties
Importuned him not to do so. He
is loved and venerated by the en
tire body of which he is a mem
ber. His like will not again
grace the halls of Congress in
many years to come.
Senator Lee S. Overman is next
in point of age of the three. He
was 74 on January 3rd.
Senator Furnifold M. Simmons
? ds the youngest and was 74 on
January 20tb.
There are no more influential
members of the Senate than these
two. They are the peers of any
there, and they have had much
to do with the shaping of legisla
tion.
Any commonwealth in the ga
laxy of States would be peculiarly
honored to have three such distin
guished statesmen us representa
tives in the Congress st one and
the same time.
That the prestige of North Car
olina is what it is in Congress is
because her representatives have
been given long years of service.
No one knows what may bap
pen, nor bavo either of these
avowed their intentions as to the
future, but The Gleaheb rises now
to nominate each of them as his
own successor so long as he will
consent to stand for re-election.
Protection?Prepardnen
S enator Simmons favors spend
ing $500,000,000 or $600,000,000,
or whatever sntu is necessary, for
flood control in the Mississippi
valley. That's the right kind of
talk?that's conservation.
And next to that comes the
strengthening of the U. S. Navy,
which will require the expendi
ture of many millions, if the
tentative program is carried out.
A strong navy does not mean
conquest. Uncle Sam's policy is
not for aoiquision of territory that
way, but should ever be prepared
tor self-protection.
That cashier out in Oregon had
the right idea and did quick
action. Six bandits attempted
to hold up his )iank. He shot twc
of them dead and the others fled
and he rushed ont after them and
fired a parting Bhot. If othei
cashiers could do as well, bank
robberies wonld not be so fre
quent. And, by the way, hold
ops should be placed on the sam?
looting with burglary as to pun
isbment. In both they go pre
pared to kill if resisted.
Col'. Lindbergh is turning home
* ward. Nearly two months age
he crossed the Mexican border
He has visited a number of tbi
Central and South American cap
itals where he has been treated
royally and showered with distin
gnished honors. Heis noo home
ward-bound?today he lands 01
the island of Porto Bioo. In i
... day or so he will pass over Tar
I >mlla headed ?er heme.

That good advertising turns
readers into buyers and makes
buyers buy more?
That success in business de
pends on up-to-date business
methods?
That a sufficient volume of
business is necessaiV to bring
success? Advertising increases
volume!
That truth is a correct state
ment of any reality, purpose, or
fact?exactly as it exists andj
never otherwise?
That is why big business con
cerns believe in truthful adver
tising. J*heir service or goods
will always stand the light of
advertising; they know it and
tell it through the printed page.
That is one of the big reasons
why people should patronize the
business concerns that adver
tise.

National Democratic Executive
Committee, has issued the fol

NEGRO FARM AGENTS
CONTEST FOR PRIZES
J. W. Jeffries of Alamance Wins
Loving: Cup As Best Judge of
Dairy Cattle.
Few white people realize that
there is a small group of trained
agricultural workers serving a
pari of the colored population of
North Carolina in an efficiehl add
successful way. At the present
time, the North Carolina State
College employs 18 local uqgro
agents who are located in those
counties with a large percentage
of colored farmers.
These men are well trained and
go quietly about their job teach
ing the more progressive members
of their race new facts 'about
farming through the demonstra
tion method. Last year, these 18
agents conducted nearly 7,0t)O
different demonstrations and got
reports from nearly all of them.
This work is done under the su
pervision of Prof. C. R. Hudson
of the farm demonstration staff,
assisted by L. E. Hall, colored dis
trict agent.
J. C. Hubbard, local agout of i
Bertie county was awarded the
gold medal offered by district
agent Hall for the best all-around
work during the year 1927; J. D.:
Carlton of Rowan won the silver
medal and S. T. Brooks of Robe
son won the bronze medal. J. W.
Jeffries of Alamance county won
the silver loving cup for being the
best judge of dairy cattle this
year. Jeffries has a calf club
among the boys and girls of his
county and each of the 23 mem
bers owns a pure bred Jersey aui
mal.
In a story writing contett held
while the negro agents were at
tending their annual short course
at Raleigh recently, awards were
made for the best written Htory
and for the most accurate knowl
edge of corn growing exhibited
in the article. W. D. Brown of
Hertford county wrote the best
story, with McKay McNeill of
Johnston second and A. D. Her
ring of Harnett, third. E. F. Coi
son of Duplin displayed the most
accurate knowledge of corn grow
ing,'McKay McNeill of Johnston
was second and E. C. Lackey of
Iredell was third.
According to Prof. Hudson,
these colored agents have been
very successful in their work dur
ing the past year and good results
are beginning to appear in the
territory where they are employ
ed.
Profits in Hogs Begin With Sow.
The old brood sow is nu impor
tant animal on North Carolina
farms these days. The better the
care given her, the higher the
profits secured from her pigs.
Realizing this, the Agricultural
Extension Service of State College
has prepared and' n6w has ready
for distribution, extension circu
lar 151 which tells in some detail
how to handle the brood sow.
The circular describes good meth
ods of..feeding and management
during the periods of flushing,
gestation, farrowing and nursing.
Exact rations to feed the sow dur
ing these four periods are given
and methods of feeding are ex
plained.
The bulletin points out that the
farrowing period is one time that
the sow needs more assistance
than is generally given her. An
individual house supplied with
fenders or guard rails to prevent
the sow from crushing the new
born pigs is recommended and
this house needs to be properly
built and located so as to protect
the young from cold winds and
wet, unseasonable weather.
Feeding following the farrbwing
> period,' rebreeding the sow and
marking the litter are three other
' subjects discussed. Clipping the
teeth of the young is advocated
i that the pigs may not tear- one
i another and thus afford an en
? trance for disease- germs. The
young pigs have teeth of needle
like sharpness and a small pair
i of pliers-or snips may be used
- without injuring the gums, lips
t or tongue.
> The extension service workers
i feel that the increased interest in
- pork production in North Carolina
i will make this circular very popu
, lar. Only 5,000 copies-have been
) printed in the initial order and
while reqneets received indicate
that this supply will soon be ex
1 boosted, an additional order will
> be secured if the demands receiv
- ed warrant a reprint. -Copies ol
* the present supply may be had
? free of charge by applying to the

? ege; Raleigh.
