THE GLEA> R i '1<WV GRAHAM. N. C., JAN. 10, itOO. I88UID EVERY THURSDAY. I 4. D. KERNODLE, Editor. $1.00 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. Rnt?r?d at tne Poatoffloe atUrahao. N. 0.. a* KOOuu-oJaii matter. BAILEY AND SIMMONS Editor Louis Graves of the Chapel' Hill Weekly has been thinking and figuring and feeling the pulse of the electorate?whether he felt the pulse or not makes no differ- j ence about his saying what he thinks. It is a fact, nevertheless, that what he says Is much in unison with general Democratic sentiment. After all is said, party j constituency is but a mass of hu man beings and is Just as prone to administer reproof, so that If j Mr. Simmons fails it will not be difficult for him to find the cause. Here is what Editor Graves has to say: o North Carolina should not be rep resented in the United States Sen- | ate by a man of the silpe of F. M. Simmons, and we cherish the fervent hope that he will be defeat ed by Josiah W. Bailey for the Democratic nomination. Mr. Bailey has a brilliant intel lect. He is a forceful speaker and a spirited campaigner. "Hie large fol lowing which he already had was augumented, in the Presidential contest of 1928, by his who! .-heart ed supportof the Democratic ticket. Tens of thousands of Democrats who had always trailed along with Simmons fell away into the Hoover camp, and, if they are of the same mind now as they were a year ago last November, Bailey will win In the June primary by a wide margin. Sea well, the Republican candi date for Governer of North Caro lina, received 289,00 votes in 1928 and Hoover received 349,000. If Sea well's vote be taken as a measure of the "straight Republican" strength, the 60,000 more votes given to HiJbver repn h Democratic revolt again.1 nith Smith's vote In this state <? 288, 000. A Smith vote was an r Sim mons vote. Thus, among t -no crats, there were 60,000 -Sim mons and 288,000 anti- rr.ons votes. Even after genei ? l.ow ance is made for all tht npli cating factors in the Smith-Hoover campaign, and for changes of mind since 1928, these figures certainly indicate a decided advantage for Bailey in a contest confined to Democratic voters. "It is true," remarks the Durham Herald, "that there is little liklihood of the primary vo'te being as large as the Democratic vote wra.-> in the general election. It is true prooably that Mr. Bailey will not get the full Smith vote. But he can spare 100, 000 of Smith votes and still have enough to nominate." As might be expected, astride the fence is the position chosen by most of the professional poli ticians in the state. It is the nature of most politicians to play safe, not to commit themselves until they see, or think they see. which way the cat is going to jump. But the very fact that they choose to sit on the fence Is ominous for the Simmons cause. Time was, and not so long ago, when they hastened to wag their tails the moment- they heard the master's voice. Now they are more than doubtful that fol lowing him means party regularity. The plain truth Is that the Sim mons machine, in the old meaning of that term, no longer exists. Bailey is not leading an "indepen dent" fight as he did against Mc Lean in 1924. He is leading a great army of regular, ?thick-and-thln Democrats who stuck to the party when Simmons left it. Of all the pleas offered in sup port of Simmons, the silliest is to the effect that the Democrats of this state "owe" him something. What obligation there is, is all on the other side. By the fp miliar methods of the practical politician he kept (until 1928) the control of the party organization, and he used the party for the promotion of his own ambition and interests As a matter of convenience and policy he has worn the party label, but it is not on record that he has ever made any sacrifice of his own ad vantage for the sake of his party. Simmons has been clinging upon the back of North Carolina's Demo cratic mule for more that a quarter of a century like an Old Man of the Sea. Even a mule's patience is capa ble of giving out after a while, and it looks as if the hitherto adhesive rider is likely to be disconnected from his seat next June. "he trial of those who shot a. J d Ella May Wiggins at Gas- ; tunia during the strike trouble was scheduled to begin Monday. Fi\ e have been indicted, but the trial of the case has been moved to Meck lenburg and Is set for February 24. Negro Congressman DePriest's appointee to the U. S. Military Academy at West Point failed to, pass math at the mid-term exami- j nations and received an honorable i discharge. He was not alone, how ever, for 63 white cadets "walked the log" with him. DePriest is quoted as saying that he will make ' another appointment. Whether his efforts will be in vain the future j will uncover. Babe Ruth, baseball star, gets pay for his skill. He has just made a j three-year contract at $85,000 a I year, $10,000 a year more than Mr. Hoover gets, and he don't have to sign and veto bills, appoint com missions and others seeking political favors, attend cabinet meetings, do a thousand and one other things, ? nor carry the government on his shoulders, but he must bat the ball better than anyone else can do it. Big pay is the reward for efficiency. Senator Simmons has been heard from. In his statement that he will be a-candidate in the Democratic primary for renomination for U. S. Senator to succeed himself, he states that he will not neglect his . duties in Washington to make a campaign, and for another reason, that he is not financially able to finance a campaign. That he will not neglect the duties of his offic sounds alright and is alright, but ; th< plea of poverty does not sound so well, seeing that he has held office, for near a half century and j most of the time at a good salary. >? The Senatorial contest is on as to whether Senator Simmons or Joslah W. Bailey will be the Democratic nominee for United States Sen, or from North Carolina. Mr. B -y it be known that he will t! ge an offensive campaig, lr recognizes the need for the smooth ie <? campaign possible, in thai e v unds of the 1928 campaign . I rhaps, not entirely healed, a.id that they should not be irritated. Nothing would tickle the Repub licans more than strife in the Democratic household, in fact they are expected to encourage any divi sion as much as possible and pro fit thereby. Raising Dairy Calves Subjectaof Bulletin How dairy calves may be raised from infancy to breeding age so as ! to return the greatest possible pro fit to the owner Is the subject of a new and timely extension circular 'recently prepared by John A Arey, I dairy extension specialist at State : College. The publication Is now ready for general distribution to livestock growers of the State and may be had free of charge on ap plication. Mr Arey tells how to care for the young calf, how to teach him to drink, how to feed during the- var ious stages of growth, and how to mix and use the various feedstulfs available on the North Carolina farm. It Is made clear that clean liness Is essential for success and that this applies to feed, buckets, stalls and bedding. Nothing but fresh, clean milk and grain should be given and the hay should be fed from racks to keep it fronj getting soiled. Early dehorning Is also advised. Cows with horns often damage each other and especially should all the herd be dehorned If grade animals are used. Because of the attractive ness of well trained horns, breeders of pure bred dairy cattle usually prefer to let them grow. Mr. Arey describes the caustic soda or pot ash method of dehorning during the early period of growth. i One of the other Interesting and vital parts of the publication Is the discussion of common aliments and diseases of calves. Common Scours, white scours, lice, ring worm, stom ach and lung worms are discussed and suggestions made for control. The entire publication contains only 13 pages of reading matter and this is broken by typical photo graphs showing phases of handling the calf. The extension service had 10.000 copies of the circular print ed. These will be mailed to cltizer ~ of the State as long as ths supp'y lasts. Those desiring copies should address the agricultural editor at | Stale College. p Gov. Gardner completed his, first year as Governor last Satur-1 Jay. 'l'he strike trouble has been { iiis most perplexing problem. At present it appears that the one j thing his administration will be ;ouspicuous for is the effort to { make the State nearer self-sup porting by his "Live-at-Home" < program.

Unity of program in each county between the farm men and women and the business and professional interests, the stimulation of pro ducing more feed and food crops] and the market outlets for surplus foodstuffs produced, were three of the important matters discussed. The home agents held their regular short course during the week vary ing the program at times to enter into joint conferences with the men, while the farm agents devot ed most of their time to attending the lectures by the group of live stock experts brought to the col lege to attend the 17th annual meeting of the Southern Livestock Association. A series of lectures of farm lead ership by Dr. Robert G. Foster of the United States Department of Agriculture was one feature of the joint gatherings. These lectures had to do principally with develop ing leaders among rural boys and girls enrolled in the 4-H clubs and Dr. Foster gave methods and prac tices in this work. The farm agents had a thorough course in livestock production, feeding and marketing. Some of the outstanding research and ex tension specialists in the livestock world of the South headed the dis cussions on these subjects. Dr. Bradford Knapp, President of Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn, brought an inspiring mes sage to the county workers at the annual extension banquet. Dr. Knapp told the agents how farm demonstration work had grown from the small beginning made by his father, Dr. Seaman A. Knapp, into a world-wide agricultural movement and he declared that this form of teaching had caused a revolution in farming methods in the South. His talk gave the agents renewed faith in .their work and opened their eyes to its possibilities in the future. Five hundred black walnut seed lings have been planted this winter by 4-H club members of Vance County. $200.00 PAID FOR ONE COPPER CENT I J, D.

I RAISING RABBITS IS MONEY MAKING ENTERPRISE ; BOTH FUR AND MEAT MAKE RABBIT / RAISING PROFITABLE j JMRS-HOfBUCK AGRICULTURAL FOUNDATION Money Is being made with rabbits on many farms, says the Sears-Roe buck Agricultural Foundation. The rabbit raising Industry undoubtedly has a great future. The decreasing supply of wild fur bearing animals and the Increasing use of furs for clothing are steadily increasing the demand for rabbit skin, which is now the most extensively used fur. In the United States, alone, about 100,000,000 rabbit skins are used annually, of which 98 per cent are Im ported. The flesh of young htftch rab bits resembles the white meat of chicken. Feed costs of rabbit production are low. Alfalfa hay, oats and barley, and roots especially carrots, and some green feed such as lawn clippings are extensively used. Buildings need not be expensive. B; using multiple butch es, a large number ma; be produced on a small area In back yards. A prolific doe will easily produce 20 to 25 young In a year. Young rab bits may be bred at 7 to 8 months jf age. The Chinchilla, American White, American Blue, New Zealand White, New Zealand Red, and White Flemish are the varieties most extensively produced In the United States. Size, texture of fur, color, and the care given the pelt after removing are the chief factors in the price of rabbit skins. Fine pelts are often spo'ted by carele-s handling. Chin chilla White, and Red, in the order named take precedence over other colors. Harketlng methods are being Improved so that small breeders are now able to obtain the full commer cial variie for their pelts, the Founda tion adda. I FIRST NATIONAL FUR SHOW IS ANNOUNCED j i With the approach of cold weather thoughts of for and trapping are In the minds of every trapper, boy or man. The call of the trapllne Is urg ing bnndreds of thonsands of red blooded Americans to Inspect their traps and plan their sets for the com ing season. And this year a new zest has been added to make trapping more profitable for shippers. The First Na tional Raw For Show offering $5,000 In cash has been officially announced by the Seara-Roebnck Agricultural Foundation. The show will take place In Chicago from April 15 to May L Beginning now, entries may be sent to any one of the six Sears, Roebuck Raw Fur Marketing Service branches. In ordei to compete, pelts must be legally taken during the 1929-30 fur season and must be received not later than April 15, 1930. Johnny .Muskrat, official broadcaster on fur and trapping, In speaking of the show stated that all fur shippers regardless of where the.v live or the kinds of fur animals the.v trap, will have the same chance of sharing in the {5,000 because pelts are to be judged primarily on skill used In skin-: nlng, stretching, and drying, and not on section of origin or value of spe cies. Johnny went on to say, "I con sider that this show will prove a great boon to fur shippers by showiDg them how more careful preparation of pelts for market will Increase the prices paid. Not only will each fur shipper have an opportunity to win np to $2,000 in cash, but also he will get the highest possible market prices for his pelts. There will be entries from all parts of the United States and Alaska, North, South, East, and West and I expect the furs chosen for final ex hibit to be the finest collection of raw pelts ever assembled. Nationally known fur authorities will be the final judges. The show will not only demonstrate to trappers how they can realize higher rennns through better handling but will also he in line with the policy of conserving the nation's fur resources by encouraging trapping only the very finest and priinest of pelts."
