A probe of the appointmeut of postmasters and other Federal jobs in Georgia developed tbat the appointees were required to pay for the appointment and make monthly contributions from their salaries, If the custom pro vided, or is prevailing, through-, out the country, where did the money go? With a general levy on Federal salaries, such as was brought to light in the Georgia investigation, the Republican "War Chest" should be full to running over. And it is wonder ed how and why the campaign exchequer turned up more than a million short. A cut of 15 cents in tbe*1928 tax levy on the $100 valuation of prop erty is indicated in the tentative budget for 1928-'29. This would put the levy at $1.55 on the $100 valuation. Last year the levy was $1.70. The tax-payers will be grateful for any reduction in their burden, be it ever so little. John J. Raskob, chairman of the Finance Committee of the General Motors Corporation, has been selected chairman of the Democratic National Committee at the instance of Gov. A1 Smith.

Requeen Now For Better Colonies ? i ? i. Now is a good time to put a good young queen bee into each colony, suggests F. B. Meacham, entomologist at State College. This will insure a good number of young bees for the winter and a rapid building up of the colony next spring. "Where black or hybrid bees are kept, a new Italian queen will change them into Italian colonies in two or two and a half months," states Mr. Meacham. "There are several breeders in North Carolina who rear as good queens as can be purchased anywhere and it is best to get the new queens as near home as possible so as to avoid the long confine ment in shipment." In introducing a new queen into a colony, the bees accept her best when well fed. The old queen and queen cells should be destroyed. The old queen can be found by carefully looking over the combs, by smoking and dram ming the bees into an empty super. A queen excluder should then be slipped underneath the super and the bees smoked back, The queen will be found trying to getr.through the excluder. Aftei she is found and destroyed the hive is assembled as before. Where bees are Inclined to rot each other, it is best to requeen late in the afternoon so that night ." will stop any robbing that hai B started. Mr. Meacham states that it is i common practice among manj beekeepers to "rob" the hives tot close for beet results. Bach oolo ay Should have at least fifteei pounds of honey always on hand and where this ie not left, th< , colony either dies during th< if-- winter or comes out in the sprini J* too weak to stone any surplrn | honey. Do not ^depend o?njh< Again Bob Shuford Wins National Honors. A. a. C. Clob Awards H. L. shuford of Catawba County, Praatdent's Cap for Jrracy bard Record I OUT?Ula Work Aa Inspiration to Entire South. Wheu the American Jersey Cattle Club held its annual meet ing in New York during June,one of the high spots on the program was the presentation to K. L. Shuford of Newtot), Catawba county, the handsome and valu able President's Cup for the ex cellent record of bis Jersey herd during the year 1927. Mr. Shuford has beeu sought out and honored in a number of ways prior to this meeting. The StAte College of Agricnlture was one of the first to recognize his excellent accomplishments and presented him with a certificate of meritorious service wheu it was first decided to make this award to farmers who had served the State in an outstanding way. Last year, the ProgreisiveFarmer and the Extension Service select ed him as one of the Mas:er Farmers of North Carolina and gave him public honor. For years,magazine writers and news paper men have visited the Shn ford farm to hear the story of how this quiet, unassuming man had, by his own diligence, made a success of farm life and had built np one of the finest herds of dairy cattle on the Anerican continent. "The work of tnis great farmer is an inspiration to the entire South,'' says J. VV. Hendricks, County Agent of Catawba county. "The winning of the President's Cup was quite an honor to the State, for in order to win it, a cow must make more than 1.000 pounds of bntterfat in 305 days and must meet the calving re quirements. In visiting the herds of the East ou this irip, we did not see better producing herds than the one belonging to Mr. Shuford. In his herd now are seven silver medal, eighteen gold medal and four medal of met it cows as well as the famous,silver, gold and medai of merit bull, Oakwood D's Fox. This farm has won many honors but the cup just awarded it, is the highest honor the owner can produce at present. The cup is on display at the county seat, and hundreds of people are calling to see it." Made Most Wheat Agent Ever Saw. Top Drewed With 200 Pounds Nitrate of Soda?Most Straw Ever Saw on Piece of Land,?Was an Experiment. The effect of using a small amount of quickacting nitrogen as a top-dressing for wheat is tersely but effectively told by County Agent E. S. Millsaps of Randolph county who last week attempted to help harvest a five acre tract which he was using as a demonstration. "Last Friday," says Mr. Mill saps, "I was in one of the worst mix-ups that I have ever seen. We applied 2U0 pounds per acre of nitrate of soda on a five-acre piece of wheat this spring. Fri day, we tried to cut the wheat. There bad been a heavy wind and it was blown In every direction. I believe that this land would have made the greatest yield of wheat that I have ever seen had it stood up. The wheat was so thick and so rank, that the knot tor on the binder was almost In constant motion. We could not use the carrier and you could walk across the field on the bundles. I cannot say noa^hat yield it will make, but ceHainly It is the most straw that I ever saw on a piece of land." The average yield of wheat in Randolph county in 1927 was only 12 busheld per acre and the aver age money value per acre amount ed to $18.12. Apparently, if the wheat on this demonstration makes the yield that Mr. Millsaps' picturesque description indicates, interesting facts will be brought out as to how to increase wheat yields and values in the future. Randolph county is one of the ' leading wheat-growing sections of North Carolina. Last year, 30,743 1 acres ptke planted witb only Davidpn county planting a larger > acreage. The total production 1 was 308,916 bushels with Rowan 1 making a slightly larger yield 1 with an acrerge lsss than Ran dolph by some 300 acres. 1 However, the results of thii ' demonstration indieate that it 1 will be wise in the future foi ' farmers of the county to top-dreei | their with wheat such quiekactin| 1 nitrogen fertilisers as nitrate ol 1 soda and thus obtain the excellent 1 yields whieh appear possible U f obtain. i i Farm women of North Carollni ) will hold their annual short > oourse this summer daring Fan I and Home Week at State College July 2$ to 27. ' Did You Ever Stop To Think (Copyright 1927) By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Okla I dropped in on Hay Gabbert, editor of IheKiverttide Enterprise, the other day and discovered biui in the throes of publishing a 28 page edition of his newspaper, devoted mostly to the proposed celebiatiou of the completion of an interstate bridge between California and Arizona ever the Colorado river. The event was scheduled to take place at Blythe in California and Ehrenberg in Arizona, both communities join ing hands in the honor of the completion of the structure over the river, as the missing link iu the Sunkist Trail, shortest dist ance between Phoenix, Prescott, and other Arizona cities and Los Angeles. The Sunkist Trail also runs through Riverside on its way to Los Angeles, and at Reauraoot, in Riverside county, where it separates from the California state highway, Riverside has erected a new reinforced asd cobblestone archway over the highway, which welcomes the automobile tourist to continue to Los Angeles by way of Riverside, the distance being about the same as by the state route, being paved all the way andgiving an oppor tunity to see the first great Cali fornia hotel andMount Rubidoux, the mountain that has been made famous iu California as thv pioneer for the Easter Sunday morning praise services. The diversion is important for the reason that it offers to the traveling public, the first oppor tunity to see the Spanish Mission architecture permanently pre served in the Mission Inn, by Prank A. Miller, Master of ihe Inn, who has the most uniqne hotel in California and the first to adopt the Mission idea, giving the opportunity to secpre a per manent preservation 01 the out standing features of the historical Spanish Missions completed along the coast from San Diego to San Francisco nearly a century and a half ago. California has some cities that continue to retleet the atmosphere of the days of the Spanish occupation. Riverside is one, with its streets shaded with the featherly pepper trees, the tall eucalyp tus -or the symmetrical palms. Trees shade the main business streets as well as the residential districts and the park*, and It is a veritable oasis for the weary autolsts who has just completed a long ride through ihe deserts of California, Nevada, Arizona, or New Mezieo. Save Tomato Seed From Wilt-Resistant Plants How to Collect the Heed. Home gardeners who are pro ducing wilt-resistant tomatoes will find that the seed from these plants are as good if not better thau the seed obtained from out side sources, according to G. W. Fact, extension plant pathologist at State College. "This is especially true if the grower will select only the heavi est bearing and most resistant plants from which to get his seed for next year's planting," he states. Where only a small amount of seed is to be saved, no apparatus except a small water-tight vessel Is needed. The ripe tomatoes are placed in the vessel and thorough ly crnsbed. Sufficient water is added to cover the tomatoes and they are left over night to fer ment. The next day the vessel is filled with water and the mass carefully stirred. By adding more water slowly, the skins, cores and palp will float off ami ibe seed stale to the bottom. The water is then drained off aud the seed collected. Mr. Fant states that seed secured from a neighbor who is growing the wilt-resistant variety will, in most cases, give better resnlts than seed bought oatside, I especially if the directions for' saving the seed have been fol lowed. There are several varieties ofj wilt-resistant tomatoes chief; among which are the Marvana, Norduke, - Marvel, and Norton. Growers who have any of these vaiieties planted ar< safe in sav ing.the seed bat the Norton and Marvel are the two that are recommended by Mr. Fant. Iui tests conducted throughout the State the Norton has shown a greater resistance and also pro duces as large yield of high qual ty fruit. Where growers are troubled with wilt, seed from the varieties named should be secured for next year's planting. ? lied letter days on the farmer's calendar for July are those in cluded in Farm and Ho.ne Week ot State College, July 23, to 27. Bull weevils and bean beetles are now causing mach concern over eastern North Carolina. The bean beetles are reported as des troying beans in many gardes* while the boll weevil is appearing in increasing numbers. Tom Tarheel has just signed up to go on another tonr this sum mer. There's nothing like seeing what the other folks are doing, lie says. f ! ADMINISTRATRIX'S NOTICE laving qualified as Administratrix ot the estate of John L.
