THE GLEANER GRAHAM. N. C., AUG. l'jau. ISSUED EVERY THUKBDAT. J. D. KERNODLE, Editor. $1.00 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. Entered at tee Postofflce at Graham. N. 0.. an m'uuu-ciaiN matter. ? ? I Capt. G. H. McKinney, 87, Con- I federate veteran, for 28 years treas urer of Guilford county, died early Tuesday morning in a hospital in Greensboro after ten days' illness. Only last year he resigned office on account pi failing health. He en- 1 tered the Confederate service in March, 1862, and ended it with the! surrender at Appomattox. He was a Democrat and as such was his tenure of office; and, too, he was a much esteemed citizen whose friendships were not bounded by party lines and one of the best known men of his county. The giant dirigible, Graf Zeppe lin, that hopped over from Ger many, and back home the first of the month on a round-the-world flight, landed in Japan Tuesday, having flown over 6,800 miles in a little less than 100 hours. It is now on its way from Tokyo to Los An geles. a distance of around 5,000 miles. From Los Angeles it will hop to Lakehurst, N. J., the start ing. If no serious trouble develops, it will be back at Lakehurst the latter part of next week, having circled the globe during the month of August. Marvelous! What next? The trial of Dr. Snook for the murder of his co-ed sweetheart, Theora Hix, in Ohio with all its nauseous and unprintable detail is over. The jury returned a ver dict of guilty promptly. The Judge who heard the case has denied motion for new trial and sentenced Snook to die on Nov. 29th. Whether other attempts will be made to de lay the judgment of the court, as yet there has been no statement. Snook had a wife and child at the same time he was lavishing his caresses upon another woman. If his confession is to be believed, and the jury believed it, he is a murder er and his conviction and sentence are altogether as they should be. The strikers at Clinchfleld Mill. Marion, engaged in a riot Monday when it was attempted to start the mill with non-union labor. Troops were called to the scene. The mill started Tuesday. An agreement has been reached between the mill owners and the striking operatives. What was it all about? Is the communistic spirit gaining a foot hold in the South? If it Is a mat ter of wages, it should be remem bered that many textile plants are now and have for months been running on short time, tor want of buyers of their products. Manu facturers cannot run on and on without making sales?they can compel no one to buy their manu factured goods. There is a middle ground somewhere?a "give and take place," for both operative and mill owner. Have Fall Garden By August Planting Lettuce, cabbage and root crops planted In August will make ex cellent crops tor the fall garden be fore killing frost. Lettuce is now a necessary part of food diet and by all means is needed In the fall garden. It grow; best In cool weather but the seed must be planted In August if sound heads are to be secured before frost. The seed may be planted lr a partially shaded bed and trans planted to the open rows during the first cool weather of September The crop does best on a rich moist soil. Plenty of fertility ii needed for the best heads. Seed of early maturing cabbagi may also be planted in the centra and eastern parts of the State, say; E. B. Morrow, extension hortlcul turlst at State college. Seed fo his crop Is also planted In partlall; shaded beds. Such varieties as tin Copenhagen Market and Jerse; Wakefield will produce good head before killing frosts if planted lm ' mediately. Other crops belonging to the cab bage family are kale, collards an - Italian sprouting broccoli. Thes might be started in August, say ?? liiiittiitfi1 Mr. Morrow. Beet and carrot seed should go into the ground as soon as favor- j able planting weather occurs., Thorough soil preparation is need- j, ed at this time of the year if a good stand is to be secured. Use plenty of seed and firm and soil well after covering advises Mr. Mor row. He says too, that seed for early , crop of fall turnips should be plant- ! ed immediately. For the main crop i the seed may be planted the latter j part of August or early in Septem- 1 ber. Four-H Club Members Elect New Officers Mary Emma Powell of Turkey in Sampson county was elected presi dent of the North Carolina 4-H club organization at its final busi ness session closing the annual short course held at' State college this month. Associated with Miss Powell in the administration of, club affairs for the coming year will be Boyce Brooks of Calypso, Duplin county, vice-president; Vernon James, of Weeksvitie, Pasquotank county, secretary and treasurer, and Lossie Hardison of Plymouth, Washington county, his troian. These four young people have been leaders in 4-H club work In their home communities and coun ties for the past several years. Each one was also prominent in some way at the recent short course. Miss Powell has been especially suc cessful in her work in Sampson, county. Recently when the county commissioners of that county de cided to discontinue the work of the home agent, Miss Powell waSj among those prominently engaged j in the effort to retain the work. She not only appeared before the com missioners but also aided in the movement to have hens donated by farm women and sold to defray the county's share of the home | agent's salary. She is an excel lent presiding officer and a good speaker. Boyce Brooks, with Ruth Cole man of Alamance county, was one of the State health champions at the recent short course. He is a perfect specimen of physical man hood, making a score of 99.1 per cent out of a possible 100. He is the son of Rev. and Mrs. C. V. Brooks of Calypso, is 17 years of age, 67 inches tall and weighs 134 pounds. He is active in the garden club of his home community. Vernon James scored 96.6 per cent cent in the health contest. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. James and president of the Weeks j ville club. Miss Hardison was one of the most popular girls at the short course, attracting all those about i her by her sweet disposition. (.ockI Wool Sales At County Pool? Holding county pools as a suc cessful means of selling wool at prices is growing in favor among the sheep growers of western North Carolina. "One of our most successful pools is held each summer at Sylvia in Jackson county," says John W Ooodmdan, district agent In charge of the mountain section. "Last year 75 percent of the Jackson county growers, 50 percent of the | Macon county growers pooled their j wool and sold it at Sylvia for 55 5 cents a pound for clear wool and j 2 to 5 cents a pound less for bur | ry wool. This year. 95 percent ol ' the Jackson growers, 75 percent ol the Macon growers and 40 percent of the Haywood growers sold theii wool in the Sylvia pool. Count; agent C. W. Tilson, cooperating with the county agents of the othci counties and the growers, sold 14. i 870 pounds for 40 cents a poum fat the pool. The burry wool brough from 2 to 5 cents less. There weri eleven buyers to make bids an< the wool sold as high as any ir North Carolina or adjoining states Some of the Tennessee pools when 50 and 75 thousand pounds art sold at one place brought no bet ter prices." Mr. Ooodman says that thi mountain farmers shear the woo cleanly and manage it carefully This is necessary to successfu pooling. Buyers are notified as t< f the amounts to be sold and ar asked to make bids. The successfu buyer must have the funds de posited in a local bank so that th wool may be paid for when deliv ered This movement began in 192 when R. W. Gray was county agen in Jackson county. There ha ;been a gradual increase in th , amounts sold at the pool eacl year, though muah if it has gone t local hucksters. At present, how ever, it looks as if the sheep grow ers will rely on the central poc from now on and the Jackso i County Farmers' Mutual Exchang :jwill handle all sales in the futuri i says Mf. Goodman. News of Whitsett r Whitsett, N. C., Aug. 19.?Mrs. c Walter H.

GOOD YEAR FOR CANNING This Is the year to can, according to all reports coming from the berry, fruit and vegetable U( ^ crop of high qual bffl Ey lty of practically LS Mm all fruits and veg etables. There are i ' fllpP' jl dreds of carloads J of luscious pears, cherries, beans, to fnatoes and corn to can, and best of Graoe Viall Gray, t|K,y are going to be offered at reasonable prices in bushel lots for canning, says one au thority. Cherries are being shipped from Idaho, where there is n bumper crop, 240 carloads, compared with 200 last year. Cherries are also plentiful in Michigan and Oregon. The plums that are coming from California are of good size and ex cellent quality. Alberta peaches that women want for canning are going to be plentiful and cheap. So 1029 seems to be a "lucky" year for all good homemakers who ? believe that It Is "smart to be , thrifty," and who therefore like to put away Jars of preserved food at ' seasonable prices for future winter ( use. j The United States Department of ] Agriculture advocates the use of the ( pressure cooker for canning all non acid vegetables such as corn, peas, and beans as well as meats, fish and . poultry. The high pressure made pos- , sible in the pressure cooker kills all spores, thus making canning safe.

Prizes totalling several thousand dol i lars are being offered. In judging the single stalks at the ?how, a score-card which has been prepared by some of the leading cot ton authorities in the South will be used. This score-card has been care fully prepared in order to give proper weight to the various plant charac ters. Actual judging will be done by competent authorities from each sec tion. According to the score-card, a per fect plant would secure 100 points to tal score. Since productivity of the cotton stalk is probably of greatest single Importance, production, as measured by the amount of seed cot ton on the plant, is given a possible 85 points. Thus heavily fruited stalks would secure a high rating under pro duction. A possible 25 points has been allot ted to lint. Percentage of lint in seed cotton, length, character and uniform ity, strength and color, are all factors that will be considered in studying the lint. The plant, as a whole, has bee* given a possible 20 points. Symmetry of form, amount of wood in proportion to fruit, character of branches, and maturity, are considered in studying the plant unit. Character of bolls has been allot ted a possible 12 points. Size of bolls will be considered and well opened bolls are desirable, although a cer to be desired. Seed has been allotted a possible i points. Plump, heavy seed, uniform In size and color, are desired. Freedom from disease has been given a possible 3 points, making a total of 100 points. Any farmer, -whether landlord or tenant, white or colored, or any one member of his family, will be allowed to enter a single stalk for competi tion. Only one stalk may be shown from each farm unit. The stalks exhibited must be grown in 1929. Stalks must come from a field where at least one acre of cotton was grown in 1929. However, any spacing, fer tilization, protection or cultural prao tice may be used. Stalks shown must contain the cot ton that grew on the stalk. Picking and refilling will not be permitted.
