THE GLEANER Gc ISSUED IVKKY THURSDAY . Cs J. D. KERNODLE, Editor. '' $1.00 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. an Into red at tHe Poetoffloe at Graham. ^ N. 0., aa aeooad-dlaas matter. GRAHAM, N. 0., JUNE 28, 1928. AT HOUSTON ? ve The Democratic hosts gathered mi early at Houston for the couven tion opening Tuesday. A "rough house" was predicted by some, but for the most part m, delegations were on their good tb behavior. New York folss were Mi ou hand in full force, and from ^ that quarter the stampede was te predicted but they said they were pa out toget votes?not to drive them co away. *n: The plea for harmony was voiced from all sides. Tuesday evening the keynote fn speech was made by Claude G. sh Bowers, editorial writer of New c0 York and temporary chairman. He uncovered the short-comings f0 of the Republican regime of the sh past eight years with "merciless fury. It was heard throughout 'r the nation by radio. On Wednesday nominations were made. Franklin D. Roose- sa velt of New York presented the fr name of Governor Alfred E. Smith. Then followed one of those indescribable scenes, when 0I Smith's name was mentioned, the be like of which is enacted nowhere else on earth save in a quadren- Pj nial national political convention ^ in America. The big job of ihe convention ft' from the start was the' building to of a platform that the clashing 81 party elements conld stand upon ^ and go before the country, whom soever might be the party leaders; ci and the reports from the conven tion today indicate that the ^ planks bearing on prohibition en- jt forcemeat and farm relief are ae- (m ceptable to all. ct The prelinaries over with, the et bollotiug for candidates comes next. That Smith will be nomi- bl ? nated appears to be assured be- ci yond a doubt, in which event Senator Joseph T. Robinson of ' Arkansas is slated for his running mate. it . . ? ?* ~ r . di u> Mils issue appears the budget w for Alamance County schools for d; 1928-29. It is given in compari son with the expenditures for the u preceding year. It will be noted J in the summory that the esti- C1 mated cost, which includes cur- A rent expenses, capital outlay and C debt service, for the next year exoeeds that of the past year by ? $69,623.72, and that each of these t items is much larger than for the C preceding year. The "balance b from taxes" for the next year is ' less by $15,697.56 than for the c past year. The conclusion is that a the tax levy for next year will be i leas than the last levy?it should i be nearly seven percent less. The 1 source of "revenue other than ' taxes" is from fines, forfeitures, e etc., which is a variable quantity and cannot be depended on as a ' sure source from year to year. ! The North Carolina delegation j at the Houston convention got in ( the limelight Wednesday. She I has Smith and anti-8mith folks ' there. There was a difference of opinion about joining in a big 8mith demonstration. An ardent Smithite seised the banner and started. The antis objected, of course. The two forces, bent oa going in opposite directions, met. The clash came?they punched eaeh other with their fists. Thus they added to the gaiety of the if ' occasion and sustained the pugna cious reputation of North Care !,V lintans. 4 It leaked on the delegates in the I Houston convention hall Tuesday evening while the keynoter was speaking. Now listen for para |?W grapheis to note the fitness of it | ' since the leading candidate before the convention is repotted tt> be - 'L It is reported that, in the event Fo iv. A1 Smith is nominated, the ipablicaus will opeu up ou itholicism. It would be strange they did, seeing that to offend * e big Catholic vote in the north tr d west, the source from which ^ is hoped to elect Hoover, would 1m i very greatly jeopardized. di Change Menus tp Suit Weather ol Less meat and more fresh, crisp th getables and fruit together with fr ilk, eggs and cheese should be H rved duaiug the hot summer antbs. "During the hot days in sum- he 9r, the appetite demands food tr at is cooling and tasty," says th ,89 Mary E. Thomas, extension re ecialist in nutrition at State fr illege. "Simple dishes that p, mpt the appetite may be pre- tr ired in the morning, put in a Ar ol place and be perfect for serv- \f g aft meal times. With good re- 28 igeration, the summer problem bi what to eat is simplified." tr Fruits and vegetables, fresh bi am the orchard and gaideu, m ould be used abundantly. A th ngealed fruit or vegetable salad Ce rved with a good mayonnaise at ay be served as the main dish pi r the evening meal. Fresh fruit ould also be served as desserts, gi If some meat is desired, cold m led chicken, cold baked ham, th teese or meat loaf may be added, u< ates Miss Thomas. With any of iu ese meats, a vegetable or fruit lai should be served with fresh th nits or some milk dish as the y? issert. All of these meat dishes fr ?ovide an excellent way to get w 3 of the left-overs from the t#o of 1 three heavy meals that must ai i served each week. in One of the easiest dishes to pre-, d( ire is the fruit salad. Two cups w mixed fruit and one cup of iii hipped cream is all that is oec- tfc sary for an ordinary family of ? re. This salad is not only easy ti i make but is also very inexpen- st ve. Another dessort that is ol roving very popular is the Choc ate Ice Box Cake. (J This is made by melting three ikee of sweet chocolate to which added three-fourths cup of su ir and the same amount of water. c 'hen this comee to a boil remove . from the fire and add the well ?aten yolks of six eggs. When jv K>led, fold in the stiffly beaten . fg whites. Put in a pudding .j ish lined with slices of sponge ike and set in the ice box for 24 , jure. Serve with whipped ' ?earn. n, Prevent Loss by Clean Production. ^ it Clean production, prompt cool- q ig, and frequent deliveries will n revent the souring of milk and a ill pnt dollars in the pockets of g airy farmers. "This souring is caused by bac- i sria which get into the milk aft9r j i is drawn from the cow and can c nly be preveuted by the most u sreful handling," says John A. t, >rey, extension dairyman at State t kdlege. When first drawn from the cow, 0 lilk contains very few if any of f] be bacteria and tile contamina- v ion comes from outside sources. j Ibief among these are the cow's j ody, the hands of the person do- j ng the milking, the air, and the t ontalners. c Mr. Arey states that all of the ? ources can be eliminated by see- | ng that the cows flanks and ud- f ter are thoroughly cleaned before nilking, that the milker's hands ire clean, and that all vessels or c tontainera have been cleaned and f iterilized. >i These containers should first , tte rinsed in lukewarm water and t then scrubbed with a heavy brush ] In water to which has been added % strong alkali solution. They j should then be sterilized with live j steam or some chemical made for j lhat purpose. All uteusils in ? which the sehms are not well ; Unshed with solder should be avoided as these crevices are hard to clean and furnish a harboring place for bacteria. The milk should be cooled as soon as possible after milking, placed in the containers in which it is to be delivered and stored in a refrigerator or cooling lank. Every effort should be made to protect the milk from high temp eratures before delivery. Cans should be covered with heavy fplt jackets or with bnrlap bagging soaked in water. Only by taking these precautions can the dairy man prevent the milk from sour ing and be sure of delivering pure, sweet milk to the market, ^ates Mr. Arey. Cleanliness In the barn at milk ing time, promptness in getting the milk cooled, and freqnent de liveries will pnt good, sweet milk at the door of the so?timer. lur Dollars Profit K From Trimming Apples A profit of four dollars a tree U sb made by two apple growers Wilkes county last year from g iiumiug the surplus, defective tl >ples on .tome trees of the Lim- a srtwig variety. w "Last year during the June " op or about the time the apples p id grown to a size of the end of D le's thumb, II. H. Morehouse aud u fnuin Price of Wilkes county ci inued out all the defective h uits and left those remaining at v distance of from C to 8 inches fi >art," says H. R. Niswonger, a tension horticulturist at State >Ilege. "As a result, Mr. More- o ? use got a profit of (G.53 per si ee for the apples harvested from b e thinned trees over the gross si turns from apples harvested n oin the uuthinned trees. Mr. g rice made a profit of (3.63 per n ee from his thinning. For1 ex- tl nple, from two thinned trees in si r. Price's orchard, he harvested i bushels with 160 apples to the ii ishel. From two unthinned ii ees, Mr. Price harvested 29 c ishels but it took 202 apples to ii tike a bushel. He reported that a e quality of fruit wap 40 per- s nt better on the thinned trees t id it took longer to harvest ap- f es from the unthinned trees." t Mr. Morehouse stated that the g oss quantity did not differ so ii uch in his demonstration but a at the apples from the unthin- J >d trees were much inferior both s size and color. o JUT. iMowuiigwr reuuuiujtjuuB c tinning on all apple trees this e sar in view of the good crop of uitset. lie states that thinning ii ill increase the size and grade 1 ' the fruit; will improve the color u id quantity; will reduce the t imber of defective apples; will c screase the labor in harvesting; ill prevent breakage of the inbs; will preserve the vigor of v 10 trees and will secure more p igular bearing. The most no- > ceable result of thinning, he .ates, is in the increase in size ' the fruit. ' I ash Prizes Offered to ' Calf Club Members , Calf club members in North t arolina who own pure bred reg- { tered Jerseys will have the op- t ortuuity to win some cash prizes t trough an offer recently made 1 y the American Jersey Cattle t lub. "This club will donate as prizes >r competition, a sum equivalent > three dollars for each member wning a registered Jersey calf," iys L. B. Harrill, club loader at : tate College. "No award will be tade where there are less than I ve members in the club and in 1 o case will more than $50 be warded in any one county, re- j ardless of the number ofjinem ers. In other words, if there are 5 club members having registered ersey calves in a county, the attle club will give $45 to be ' sed as prizes. This money may < >e divided according to rulings of ( he county agent." To obtain this prize money, an < fficial application blank must be ; tiled out by the local leader, ; ouching for the awards and must te forwarded to the American | ersey Cattle Club at New York, iaeli application must be signed >y the local leader and the state ; lub leader before it is forwarded ind the premium money will then >e paid to the .state club leader or proper distribution, states t. w :n 'ii. uaiiiu. Mr. Harrill says that last year, mly one ? third of the money available to this State was used, rherefore he urges the calf club nembers to take greater advan tage of the opportunity this year. No.rth Carolina has some excellent Jersey calf clubs in various coun ties, with Alamance county hav ing the largest club of this kind in the world. The club members in each of the counties should see that their clubs are well organ ized and that steps are taken for the premium money to be secured when the calf club shows or fairs are held. Those who wish ap plication blanks may secure them from Mr. Harrill. Self feeders number 39 and 40 have been built by farmers of Person county recently. The hog feeding idea is gradually gaining ground. Rubber rings for the fruit jars should be new each year. Be sue to rinse them in boiling water be fore using, advise specialists at State College. Get rid of that low producing hen now, Cnll the flock and sell or eat all hens that'do not lay more than half the time. Those early-hatched pullets that are not showing np well can also be gotten rid of at this time. illiog Johnson Grass I Is No Easy Task f. S. Dept. Agriculture. Tbe eradication of - Johnson rass in sections of tiie South and le far West, where it flourishes s a weed, entails much hard ork. Farmers' Bulletin 1537-F, Johnson Grass as a Weed," just ublished by the United States lepartment of Agriculture, sum larizes proved methods of eradi ation and suggests others which ave been found most effective in arious localities and under dif srent conditions of soil, climate, nd culture. "In.attempting to clear fields f Johnson grass by my method," ays M. W. Talbot, author of the ulletin, "the threefold aim hould be (1) to exhaust existing notstocks and to prevent the rowth of new ones, (2) to kill ew seedlings, and (3) to prevent tie ripening and scattering of eeds." The pamphlet explains,the way i which Johnson grass multiplies self, and general methods of ontrol. Close pasturing or mow ag, followed by shallow plowing nd tilled crops, is the general ystem, subject to local modifica ious, which has proved most el ective over most of the infested erritory. In certain arid re ions, a combination of methods % effective. A vigorous stand of lfalfa usually thins the stand of ohnsou grass. In waste places, uch as fence rows, railroad rights f way and ditch banks, the rip ning of seeds should be prevent d by any practicable means. Farmers' Bulletin No. 1537?F a a revision of and supersedes farmers' Bulletin 279?F. It nay be obtained free on applica ion to the Department of Agri ulture, Washington, D. C. Don't forget the farm and home reek at State College this sum ner. The'dates are July 24 to 27, nclusive. Thirty-five head of pure bred lairy cattle were added to the cow wpulation of Guilford couuty by arm ageut J. I. Wagoner last veek. Crisp, fresh, uncooked vegeta >les should be used in abundance 'or the summer meals. Where hey have to be cooked, use as lit ,le fat as possible and cook quick y. Too much cooking takes iwav both vitamins and minerals. Begin Now to Cull . Out Low Producer*. Poultry keepers shou'd begin now to cull oat h11 the "boarder" or non-producing bene together with thoee puilets that are weak and do not show desirable quali ties. "lu this way," says A. G. Oliv er, poultry specialist at State Col lege, "the producer gels a much higher price for his stock than is possible later ou in the year when the market is glutted, and in ad dition a large amount of feed is Baved." By going through the flock every week or two after the first of J uue, the owner can easiyl pick out the cull hens and market them iu an orderly way. This process should be followed from the first of June until the first of October. Mr. Oliver states that the cull ing done through ihe summer mouths is different from that done in October and November. The first is to remove the poor indi viduals, while that done in the fall is to select the best bens for flock improvement. As long as a flock is giving fifty percent production, it is a waste of time to go over the birds, but as, soon as the production drops to twenty or thirty percent, cull ing should begin. By July, the farmer will kuow each bird that is then laying or has laid consist ently during the spring. He will also know how many well develop ed and desirable early-hatched pullets he has. The low-prodnc ing hen or the undersized pullet should be taken from the flock and sold. . Those hens that lay only four to six mouths should be disposed of first aud the others gradually culled out uut>l only those that lay eight or nine months are left, he states. The U. S. Department of Agri culture has issued a bulletin on "Rose Diseases; Their causes and Control." A copy may be had from the Division of Publications, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.
