?1 ? OI K RALEIGH LETTER ? __ ) Br E L Bklpnuui ? " Uiiiiift,r scpt^n^-'re*' oomnmctt heat wave In the Capital which broke record* Manning a quarter of a cen . tcry, the unflagging energy of Go vernor McLean in putting into effect hit policies, interest in the American Legion election, comment on the latent statement on the deficit by C vernor MoLeen, the open'ng oI all educational institutions of Raleigh and a renewal of the "mad dog" scare were matters which engaged interest of Capital citizens during the past week. In addition there were a iiiimher of comparatively minor mat tors which were in the limelight far e brief moment each day. Governor McLean in addition to working zea lously at the Capital also attended to a host of mine matters. Interest was aroused Friday night in the ap pointment of the judge to preside oyer the trial of W. B. Cole at Rock iigham For three days, Wednesday, Their < ay and Friday, Cot ernor McLear was closed at the mansion and oriers were that he was hot to be disturbed on any account. Newspapermen were unable to see. him during that time and at the same period Secretary Sink of the Salary and Wage Com mission was at the mansion. The re port was that the two were going over the final report of the Salary and Wage Commission, created as a part of the McLean legislative program by the 1925 General Assembly. Thurs aay night the Governor labored until the "we srna' hours" of Friday on the matter in hand. It is expected that he will announce the wage scales during the coming week after another meeting of the Salary ami Wage Com mission. Prediction in well informed circles was that the Commission and the Governor have no intention of vi biting salary reductions upon any large portion of present state emp loyes. Where the Wage Commission will get in its effective work will be when new employes are hired. These will come in a number of instances at a lower rate and an eventual saving in salaries of many thousands is pre dicted. j Following t?e hard wo-k of this past week the Executive expects to make a trip into the mountain section for one or two addresses during the woek. He will take in the famous Toe River Fair in Mitchell county during his f.hsence. Raleigh s torrid weather has con tinned and all records since 1900 were broken oa Saturday when the iotit consecutive day with a temperature above &C degrees was recorded. Pre viously the record had been 54 Jays in 100. Though showers were expect ed. the rain which visited the western part of the state during the jnd of the week did not reach Raleigh. The local rainfall is about 12 inches less than nomal for 1S-25. A record breaking school openiiig hi Raleigh caused considerable con cern to school officials. The schools can not accomodate the children but i: is hoped to solve the situation.

It looks like a big year in ed vcition circles all over the state ac codi.ig to reports received here of the great demands being made on ed ucation accomodations. Governor Mcl Jfrn has appointed Judge T. B. Flnley to try W. B. Cole on September 28 for the murder of W. W. Ormond at Rockingham.

The election of Henry E Stevens, Jr.. a3 commander of the American Legion sprit defeated for Colonel J. Hall Manning of Raleigh who was a candidate for the office. Manning last year was accused of carrying the Legion into politics in his efforts to elect Frank Grist as Commissioner of labor and printing.

C LAREDO SOBEANS RESIST ROOT-KXOT. Raleigh, Sept. 14?"Soybean variety I demonstrations conducted by J. L.! Dove, Farm Agent in Richmond County, show that the Laredo variety can be successfully grown on land infested with the root-knot disease," says G. W. Fant, extension plant pathologist at State College. Eight varieties of soybeans' toe re planted by Mr. Dove in two sections of the County,in order to determine which would thrive best under root knot conditions. An examination of the plantings was made early _ this month and the Laredo was the only variety found to be free from injury and thriving on the infested soil. "Since root-knot attacks a number of different crops in the State," says Mr. Fant. "the control of this disease is of considerable importance. Among J the crops most affected are tobacco, cotton, cowpea, cantaloupe, cucumber, okra, pepper tomato ,and the peach, and the disease can be controlled only by keeping these crops off the land for two or more years. This starves out the small eel-worms which cause the disease. "Among the resistant crops that may be planted are corn, Laredo soy beans, rye, barley, wheat, the Iron, Brabhama, and Monetta varieties of cowpeas, velvet beans, and the peanut. The disease is becoming more pre valent each year and the planting of these immune crops should be made a practice in those sections where the injury is severe. This is" especially important on -the lighter soils in the - sandhill section." J A three-year rotation which includes only root-knot resistant plants will free the soil of this pest, states Mr. Fant. Kather Cjncal. / Cake-eater:? "Brown suits are be ing! worn again."
