BUILDS HIS SOIL
BY PLANTING LESPEDEZA
Raleigh, Feb. 30.—Lespedeza will
improve run down soils equally as
well as soybeans, vetch or crimson
clover. At least W. L. Baker of
Bertie county thinks so and he gives
facts and figures to support his
claim.
“Early in the spring of 1925, I
planted oats on part of one field,”
says Mr. Baker. “The oats were
harrowed in and lespedeza seed was
planted over the oats and brushed
in very lightly. Whpn I cut the

No mother in this enlightened age
would give her baby something she
did not know was perfectly harmless
and reliable, especially when a few
drops of plain Castoria will right a
baby’s stomach and end almost any
little ill throughout the system. Fret
fulness and fever, too; it seems no
time until everything is serene.
That’s the beauty of Castoria; its
gentle influence seems just what is
needed. It does all that castor oil
might accomplish, and without shock
to the system. Without the evil faste.
Castoria is delicious! Your own tongue
will tell you , why “Children Cry for
It.” Being purely vegetable, you can
give it as often as there’s the least sign
of colic; constipation; diarrhea. Or
whenever there’s need to aid sound,
natural sleep.
Only one word of warning: the above
is true of genuine Castoria.* Fletcher’s

| oats lor hay, the lespedeza was lef.
; on the land for that summer and
! for all die following year of 1926.
i he remainder of the field, not plan
ted to oats, was in coin both in
1925 and 1926. The lespedeza grew
well both years, making better in
1926. l n the spring of 1927, I tur
ned under the ciover and planted the
entire field to corn. Last fall T

the lespedeza was grown and thirty
three bushels per acre where corn
followed corn.” ,
Mr. Baker states that the crop of
corn received the same treatment all
over the field except that lespedeza
had been turned under on part of
it. The corn on this part was of a
darker color and made better growth
thus showing early the value of the
lespedeza as a green manure crop.
According to E. C. Blair, exten
sion agronomist at State college,
with whom Mr. Baker conducted this
simple test, lespedeza has the ad-
I vantage over other legumes in that
it requires little preparation of the
soil. It can be planted on small
grain and is seeded in February and
March when there is little pushing
farm work. A bushel of seed per
acre will give a good stand when
; the crop is broadcasted by hand. The
; crop will re-seed itself and may be
i allowed to stay on the land as long
:as one wishes. It may be pastured,
j cut for hay or turned under for soil
f improvement just as desired and it
; gives good returns for the labor and
money invested.

MILK CONDENSERY AT
l MEBANE WOULD HELP
CHATHAM FARMERS
i Editor of The Record:
I quote below from a page adver
tisement in World Work by Caldwell
, & Co,, bankers, Nashville, Tenn.:
“Mississippi is fast becoming the
, great dairy empire of the South. She
. now supports five condenseries, bear
ing such names as Borden and Car
nation; altogether, her cheese fac
tories, creameries, milk plants and
condenseries now represent millions
of invested dollars. In 1926 and
1927 no less than $340,000,000 of
new capital came into the state.”
North Carolina can get its first
condensery, with Mebane as its lo
cation, provided the farmers of the
territory within 30 to 35 miles to
Mebane will pledge to increase the
daries. There is nothing that would
mean so much to the surrounding
counties and to this section of £he
state as will a condensery, especial
ly to the farmers. >
The Kiwanis club at Mebane is
back of this project 100 per cent
spending their money their time
and have the co-opeitation of the
banks and civic organizations of the
surrounding counties. It is up to j
the farmers entirely.

HOW ELLIS MADE COTTON
RALEIGH, Jan. 28.—C. P. Ellis
of Clayton, produced last season 13
bales or 5,542 pounds of lint cot
ton, on six and four-tenths acres.
This, according to J. M. Gray, of
State college, is the largest yield on
this acreage grown in the state in
1927. This is a yield of 866 pounds
of lint cotton per acre and is 629
pounds over the state’s average yield
for the year, according to Frank
Parker, state statistician.
Mr. Ellis yesterday outlined what J
he considered the major contribut
ing factor to his success. He said,
“I believe in planting cotton early
and I believe in using good seed.”
“I attribute the heavy yield to
early planting of good seed and the
liberal side dressing with nitrate of
soda.” Mr. Ellis stated. “It takes
a fertilizer that works fast to get
ahead of the boll weevil, but it is
my experience that soda turns the
trick.
“I have heard a lot of talk about
the Texas farmers putting us North
Carolina farmers out of the cotton
business, so I decided to keep an ac
curate record and see for myself
what there was to it,” Mr. Ellis said.
“When I planted my cotton I fer
tilized each acre with 500 pounds of
acid phosphate, 100 pounds of nitrate
of soda and 75 pounds of muriate
of potash. We used a dropper type
of planter and left two to three
stalks in a hill. The hills were 24
inches apart.
“After the cotton was chopped
out and sided or when the plants
had about six leaves, I side dressed
with 100 pounds of nitrate of soda.
When the first squares appeared, I
applied another 100 pounds of soda
per acre,” Mr. Ellis said. “By this
time the cotton was putting on tb.e
squares so fast the boll weevil could
not get them all.”
THE PREVALENCE OF CANCER
The latest statistical information
collected and published by cities,
states, and the national government
goes to prove that cancer stands
fourth as the cause of death among
the citizens of this country.
Cancer of the stomach causes 32
per cent of the cancer death rate;
cancer of the female genital organs
causes 14 per cent; cancer of’ the
breast causes 9 per cent; cancer of
the skin causes 3 ner cent.
Cancer authorities agree that
there are at least 300,000 cases of
cancer in the United States todav.
North Carolina has more than 6,000
people every year ill from cancer,
and every day there are in the state
four deaths from this disease.

“Electricity!—
Keystone of the Industrial Arch”
Says Professor Irving Fisher
Professor of Economics, Yale University
u The United States laborer gets more
; real wages than the English laborer
l because he has from two to five times
| as much horse power to help him
produce . Professor Moore, of Colum
; bia University, has shown by mat he
j ma tical sta tis tics tha t wages go up or

*A
X JLMERICA’S industrial su
premacy is the envy of the
world.
A continuous flow of ample
power, supplied by the country’s
electric power companies, has
helped to make this supremacy
possible.
America’s industrial leadership
rests on a policy of mass produc
tion. Through electrically driven
machinery, American wage earn
ers are enabled to turn out in a
•day more than any other work
men in the world. Thus Ameri
can industry has been able to
pay the American worker higher
wages. Higher wages, in turn,
have meant a higher public pur
chasing power and wider mar
, kets for American goods.

Through the foresight and in
itiative of the directing person
nel of the electric power com
panies, American industry is
supplied with four horse power
for every worker, as compared
with one horse power or less
available to workers of other
countries.
In the furtherance of practical
human benefits, affecting the
lives of everybody, electricity is
the most vitally useful service of
all social agencies.
This service has been developed
through the American principle
of individual initiative. To the
degree that this principle is
preserved and perpetuated will
America’s well-being be assured.
