Endorsement of the Mc Nary-Haugen farm relief bill was lost by a vote of nearly three to one; and the dry part of the plat form is dry enough in sentiment to suit the driest. Senator James A. Reed of Mis souri, candidate for the nomina tion for president and a man of fine ability, has on the war paint and will go to the Houston con vention to do his turn at trying to defeat the nomination of Gov. A1 Smith. A struggle is expected that may match the 1924 conven tion, when Smith lost out. Secretary Herbert Hoover was nominated for president by the Republican convention at Kansas City last Thursday night at 11;06 o'clock (1:06 a. m. New York time) on the first ballot, receiving 837 out of the 1,083. North Caro lina voted 17 for Hoover and 3 for Lowden. The fallowing day Sen ator Charles Curtis of Kansas was named as Hoover's ronning mate. Hoover and Curtis make a j strong team (or the Republicans. t Hoover will please the old liners and business interests. And Car- I tie, though be voted for the farm > relief bill and then voted to sua- J tain Coolidge's veto, can go after , the western farmer and dance on , either or both sides.

He has two more yean in the Senate and he needs to conserve his strength for the important legislation that will oome up far consideration daring those yean.

""i- . <V jj LOWDEN PREDICTS Gov. Lowdeu was a favorite -p itb iuauy for the Republican D residential Domination, but uot H] sough to "cut much ice" when t be Hoover hosts begun to roll n le juggernaut. g The platform manipulators ? idn't fix any thing for him to y land on with his farm relief v leas. Just shoved him oil. H But Lowden peers into the fut-< (j ire as to what faces the farm in t( be way of feeding the fast grow- ^ )g population and draws a g ather gloomy picture. He is not n old man and may ltve long Dough for his predictions to o ome true, provided, of course, b bat he has not made a mistake ?< s to time. li The Governor is a practical t armer and lives on his farm. He 1; tingles with farmers and knows H lomething is wrong, lie believes ? e knows the remedy. About ] his he may be mistaken. Lots e if theories do not reach the con- l ilusion expected and hoped for.

( le, too, theorized. Lowdeu be ieves Coolidge was wrong and 'ice versa. ' Hut lets come oacK to some hing Lowdeu had to say. He is Iuoted, and there is real interest n some of his observntious and hey enter into the present-day ionditions fairly well. He said: "I'm going to keep right on Ighting," be said. "My plans tren't definite as yet. But I shall continue my efforts to work out ihis problem. The sitnation will {row worse all the time." "When the farmers are not prosperous they always exhaust ;he fertility of their soil more rapidly than they otherwise would, [t costs money to fertilize and ;hey haven't got it. "But because of the great dis parity between the income of a nan on the farm and the income ' ;hat same inan could earn in the sity, these men and women are j eavlng the farm, and when they lo they leave the less competent 1 >ehind them I "The result of this is that even- 1 .ually we will have a population n the country that is uot equal J o the past farm population either ' jhysically or mentally. And that, ( n my opinion, is an ominous | ,hing. "The time will come and it is r it no distant date when we Will ' lot be raising enough to feed the 1 latlon because of this situation. "Prices will go sky high and ! hen the city folk will take 1 lotlet." c He quoted Raymond Pearl, iohns Hopkins authority on popu- 1 ation; E. M. East, Harvard an- * ihority in the same field, and 1 >thers, bringing out from well- ' ined shelves book after book to mpport his statement. 1 "Food," he said, "is the limiting c 'actor in the future growth of civ- 1 lization everywhere. Every B country is bound to raise its own 1 Food. Yet, within 20 years and, s x< some extent, within 12 years, * ire will not be raising any sur- 1 plus. ' "What a suicidal thing it is," ' ind he pounded the table. ( "We are living in a fool's para lise. We are living in the pres- ' ant, thinking nothing of the fu ture. Think of it, we won't be tble to do anything but feed our awn people within 20 years." I i | GIRL FLIES ATLANTIC J Amelia Karhart has the distinc tion of being the first woman to 1 make a non-stop flight over the 1 Atlantic. She and two companions, Pilot Wilmer Stultz and Mechanic ? Louis Gordon, hopped off at Trep assey Bay, New Foundland, Sun day morning at 10:51, New York daylight saving time, and landed at Barry Inlet, South Wales, 1:30 p. m.,Englishsummer time. They were in the air 20 hours and 49 minutes, flying about 2,000 miles. They arrived unannounced, but the news spread like wild-flre and the people gathered in. Their weldome haa been all that could be desired. "Friendship" is the namebf the The national Democratic con- j "ution will convene in Houston, exas, next Tuesday, June 26, to sine candidates for president nd vice president. It is a task, he result of which is by no 1 leans a certainty. Gov. A1 inith is far in the lead, but he iust have two-thirds to win. He et needs a nice little block of oU'S to carry hint over. He has majority, but that will notsuf ce. There is a determined tight ) defeat bis nomination, and it lay succeed, but it looks like mith now. Goncral Nobile and his fellow xplorers of the Artie have not eeu rescued yet. Only a day or ii ago they were given up for jst, but they got a radio message Ii rough and the search was doub- : y renewed. The stranded ones aw,planes fly by without being : ble to signal them. There are 1 8 in the party and they have be ome divided. Some of them are leing fed by dropping food from ilanes. There is hope that all rill be rescued.

It's mostly tradition, and not 'acts, that leads many dairymen o believe that the quality of milk lepreciates when the cows are turned from the dry feod of the itable to the succulent green feed if the pasture. "Yet we have a Tew dairymen ind many customers who believe this," says Fred M. Ilaig of the tnimal husbandry department at jtate College. "We have just completed a test with nine cows n the herd here at the college which shows that instead of ihe luimals giving a lower quality of nilk in the spring, it is materially ?icher in butterfat." Last winter, Trof. Ilaig selected line cows and fed them cottonseed lulls as the sole roughage for a leriod of ten weeks. No succu ont feed was given during the leriod. The average daily milk iroduction was 201.0 pounds test ng 4.64 percent fat. The cows were then changed rom the hulls to com Hilage and lay and after giving time to ac lustom themselves to the change, he same data was again collected. Yith this feed, each cow of the line produced 209.1 pounds of nilk per day testing 4.88 percent at. On May 4, the nine cows were urned on a rich pasture consist ent of green wheat and crimson ?lover. Again they were allowed line to adjust themselves and the lata again collected. The aver ige daily production in this case vas 212.9 pounds of milk each day eating 5.37 percent fat. Throughout each of these three ests, the grain ration remained lonstant and supplied a balanced -ation. However, this shows that ulage is better thau the drv fee.i ind a good pasture is better thau lilage. Prof. -Haig states that lucculent feed is important in the lairy business not only for the naintenance of healthy cows but' ileo for the amount and quality if mflk produced. Conducts State's Largest Hog Feeding Test. Imall parts of North Carol in si for the past several years, pro gressive farmers have been con ducting bog feeding demonstra tions, usually beginning with from five to fifty animals. T. A. Brooks of Bath in Beaufort coun ty broke the record this past spring when he fed oat 356 hogs in one demonstration and made a net profit of $2.62 per animal. "Illis record demonstration was conducted under the ditection of County Agent E. P. Welch," re ports W. V. Hays, swine exten sion specialist at State College. "Mr. Brooks weighed his hogs, placed them in a three-acre lot, supplied them with fresh, running water from a free-flowing artesian well and put in enongh self-feed ers that abont one-third of the hogs conlil eat at any one time. In these feeders, hekept a supply of shelled corn, fish meal or tank age and mineral mixtures. The animals were placed on feed on February * and fed for 58 days when they were sold on the Rich mond market." I The pigs made aa average daily . ? . ... \ ? Did You Ever Stop To Think (Copyright 1927) Jy Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Okla Herbert F.- Gunnison, pub lisher of the Brooklyn, (N. Y.) Eagle, says: That publications of all kind go into nearly every home and jo me of them are most attract ive. This is the age of inten sive advertising and some of the keenest minds are constantly working to produce attractive publicity from soap to automo biles and from dresses to aero planes. While popular magazines 3arry advertisements prepared by some of the best artists with fine illustrations, yet the an nouncements in the daily and weekly papers are constantly showing vast improvement in display and presentation. This rapid development of.selling is reflected in the purchases made in the "at home" stores. As the merchant finds increased local sales he is prompted to add to the line of stock which he carries and also to improve in the kind of goods he has to sell. Publicity is what makes the wheels go round and those who do not pay attention to this vital influence.in our daily lives, miss not only a great thrill but also fail to realize one of the great forces of the day. P. T. Barnum a generation ago was a great advertiser and in his day he knew how to reach the public. But even his popu larity was insignificant com pared with the methods now used by printers' ink. It/is not alone the great amount of pub licity which appears but it is the clever and dramatic appeal which influences the public. Those who are wise will not fail to appreciate this new force in our day and benefit by it. gain of 1.48 pounds per animal. During the feeding period they consumed 11,700 pounds of fish meal and tankage, 1,027 bushels of corn and 2,375 pounds of the mineral mixture. This amount of feed produced 30,868 pouuds of pork or a gain of 100 pounds for every ,341 pounds of feed eaten. The finished weight of the hogs was 51,755 pounds, slates Mr. Hays, and when shipped they filled five big cars. The actual net profit from the venture amounted to $932.01 or $2.62 per hog. But, states Mr. Hays, if the re turn per day of labor is consider ed, Mr. Brooks made $16.07 for each day devoted to the work. He sold his corn through the pigs for $1.37 per bushel when the lo cal market price for the corn as grain was between 75 and 80 cents a bushel. Mr. Brooks keeps about 25 brood sows on his farm at all times and expects to have two carloads of pigs fattened for the high market in September. Tobacco on Ridge Makes Best Quality. Cultivation of tobacco on a ridge as compared with level or flat culture has-ineant a difference ot t>50 an^acre ou many farms in North Carolina during the past four or five years. "In ad of our demonstrations, the ridge method of cultivation has proveu itself superior," says E. Y. Floyd, tobacco specialist at State College. "This system of cultivation will make the hard, peaked tobacco that we now have W. O. W. Has Great Faith In Future of North Carolina ! >i ?a Here are 980,000,000 in bonds being handled by employees of the Woodmen of the World. W. A. Frater, Sovereign Commander, It stand ing with sheaf of bonds in hla hands. $13,789,000.00 of these bonds repre sent North Carolina Investments. The employees are clipping the semi annual dividend coupons. ,/-pi HAT the Woodmen of the f '1 World Life Insurance Assoc latlon has faith in Alamance v l County is evidenced by the fact that W. O. W. has *215,500.00 invested in municipal bonds of this county, according to a statement today by W. A. Fraser, Sovereign Commander of the Woodmen of the World and President- of the Globe Life Insurance Company. "The Woodmen of the World has , great faith in the future of tills state," said Mr. Fraser. Sovereign Commander Fraser also announced that the Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Assoc iation now has *13,769,000.00 invest ed in municipal bonds in the state of North Carolina. "Our funds are used to help the development of the various parts of the United States where Woodmen of the World members are located," said Mr. Fraser. We are glad in having the opportunity to aid the various counties and states in build ing roads, school houses, court houses, street Improvements and other municipal enterprises." "Not enough people in America realize the Importance of modern and up-to-date school houses and modern methods of. education. San itary and' modern school houses tend toward making both teachers! and school pupils more contented and, therefore, more efficient. Good school houses with their sanitary conveniences, proper lighting and ventilation enable school teachers to do better work, and nothing is more Important than education of our children?the future citizens of tomorrow." Mr. Fraser said the factors enter ing Into security of their Invest ments are based foremost on the community's financial responslbil- ] lty, both present and potential. But in addition, however, he said the Investment Committee was also guided by good faith of and confi dence In the municipality Issuing such bonds. "Great assurance of good faith is given to the Committee In the simple statement that American Municipalities of any Importance do not default In the principal or in terest of any of their obligations," said Mr. Fraser. burlng the thirty-seven years ex istence of W. O. W., the association has been very careful in the dis position of its funds for invest ments. The company now has 188,000,000 invested in municipal bonds. During its twenty-seven years, W. O. W. has handled more than }120,000,000 of Investments without losing a cent of principal or interest. on account of the cold wet spring develop new jroots. When the to bacco is sided, if the grower will put all the soil to the plant that it will take and then scatter the middles deeper than the sidiDg furrow, this will drain the water from the tobacco and cause the soil to warm up much faster. This method of cultivation is best for all tobacco but especially so if it is hard and is now running up to button. Put all the soil to the plant that it will stand and it will soon begin to spread and look like a new plant." Mr. Floyd states that on ac count of the poor season this spring, the cultivation of the to bacco cr<g? will be one of the main factors in determining whether good yields of quality leaf will be made. Reasonably early tobacco usually makes the best quality and generally just as good a yield per acre as any other planted during the season. For some five years now, Mr. Floyd has been advocating the ridge method of cultivating the crop and lately he has prepared extension folder number 27, which describes this method in detail. The folder is well illustrated with drawings shoeing how to develop the ridges.
