PAGE EIGHT Mrs. J.H. Peterson 'i "\* ♦ j »- f (From The Hamlet News-Messenger) Last Friday afternoon at the home of her daughter, Mrs. R.. W. Clegg on .Chamberlain Street. Mrs. J. H. Petersen (nee Miss Margaret Ann Matthis),." passed away. . She had reached the ripe old age of seventv eigiit years and ( truly these years were, lived by her largely and nobly. To-know her was to admire and love her. At the age of 22 she was married and -during that same she united with the -Mt. Gilead Bap tist church in Sampson county. Prac tically all of her life was lived in Sampson county until the past sev eral months when she has been in Hamlet with her daughter. She sur vived her husband some 15 years and leaves to survive her six children: Mesdames R. W. Clegg, Hamlet, R. H. Branch, Savannah, Ga., R. G. Sin gleton, Lexington, Ky.,; T. J. Peter son, Asheville, E. S. Peterson, Sa vannah, Ga., A. A. Peterson, Hamlet, and two sisters, Mesdames Hannah Blackburn, Valdosta, Ga., and J. M. Marshburn, Ingold. Her funeral serv ice was conducted by Rev. J.. B. VV ulis and W. R. Beach from her old home church in Sampson County Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock with interment in the family burying She has left to her friends and Joyed ones a rich heritage in the beautiful, consecrated life she lived. The great crowd in attndance upon her funeral service on a busy Saturday afternoon gave silent evidence of the esteem in which she was held by those with whom she had lived her life. A FRIEND. ® DR. I. H. LUTTERLOH CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY <§> Relatives near Pittsboro, Rt. 2, met with relatives and friends of Sanford the 26 instant, and gave Dr. I. H. Lutterloh of Sanford a birth day celebration on his 64th anni versary. After listening over the radio to a splendid sermon by Dr. Tucker of Raleigh the elder members of Dr. Lutterloh family connection were in vited into the doctor’s lovely dining room, by his good and capable daugh ter, Mrs. Hayden Luttgrloh, who with the doctor’s sisters a'nd nieces had prepared a most excellent dinner. When they, with all \the younger members of the family, had partaken of the bounteous spread, which was enjoyed immensely by all present, the remainder of the afternoon was spent in pleasant conversations, sad dened only by the thought of some dear absent members who were un able to be present. Dr. I. H. Lutterloh has been a practicising physician for 40 years, and together with his son, Dr. Hay den Lutterloh has a splendid prac tice and relieves greatly the suffering humanity. They, together with our congenial friend, Mr. Tom Lutterloh, have an up-to-date pharmacy. We were delighted to have with us, Mr. Joe Perry, a well known Christian gentle men, who was very sick recently. We hope for his entire recovery. Pittsboro, Rt. 2, January 28. ONE PRESENT. s> — *************** * * * Bear Creek News * * **************** Mrs. W. B. Thomas and son, Mrs. J. Walker Thomas, of Moncure, Rt. 2, and Mrs. J. H. Fisher, of Cum nock, Rt. 1, were visitors in the home of J. D. Willett Monday of this week. Adtsison Burns and sister. Miss Ena, are visiting their aunts, Mrs. W. F. Weaver and Miss Beatrice Burns, of Plymouth, Fla. G. B. Emerson, who has been real sick for the past week, is improving, we are glad to state. He had quite a seige with the mumps. Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Moore and daughter, Earnetine, of Siler City, were week-end visitors in the home of G. B. Emerson. Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Beal and daughter, Frances, were Sunday vis itors in the home of I. M. Gilmore, of Pittsboro, Rt. 3. Mrs. T. C. Vestal underwent an other operation in the St. Leo’s hos pital, Greensboro, last Saturday. While she is very low she was thought to be rallying from this operation. This is her fourth operation since going to this hospital last autumn, which is very hard on her recovery. Pearle N orw ood was a visitor in Greensboro Monday. Latt D. Poe was a business visitor in Greensboro two days last week. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Wallace, of Durham, were Sunday visitors at L. B. Poe’s. Messrs. J.! L. Straughan, of Greens ♦;boro, and E. B. Straughan, of Burl ington, are visiting their father, F. C, Straughan, on route 2. . / Mrs. B. N. (Eula) Moore, of Rt. 1, and Mr. Mark Bynum Burns, of Siler City, Rt. 5, were married recently. The bride is a daughter of the late ' Hugh Smith, is well known in this part of the county, while the groom is the son of the Adelphos J. Burns. We wish this splendid couple a very long and happy life together. They are making their home at Mr. Burns’ place, on Siler City, Rt. 5. «>- DAVE BLAIR FOR SENATE? —# — News dispatches out of High Point over the week-end say that Republican leaders in that section are urging David H. Blair, former internal revenue commissioner, to run for the U. S. senate against the Democratic nominee this year. Mr. Blair is a very able man, men tally equipped to represent his State in the senate and financially able to make the race. He would prob ably command a good smattering of Democratic votes. <$ — Ther.e may be nothing new under the sun, hut the imitations frequent ly surpass the Original. —MOttB ABOUT*- -v . • ' • PEACH INSTITUTE STARTS ON PAGE ONE ridding orchards of hibernating places, picking up drops, and other control measures. The oriental fruit moth is not so much a problem here, although it has to he contended with to some ex tent. Dr. thinks that it will assume proportions of a pest only once in four or five years, and as last year was bad he does not anti cipate any very serious depredations by this insect during the , coming season. The most satisfactory method of control, according to entomologists who have had considerable experience with the moth, is to raise millions of tiny parasite moths of another type which will lay their eggs in the egg which the bigger moth deposits on the peach or the twig and so kill it. The Mediterranean fruit fly has never bothered the United States until last April when it was dis covered in Florida. Entomologists have been trying for fifteen years to keep it out of this country, and when it was discovered there was no ’ suggestion of *ontrol methods, but a : program of complete eradication was 1 entered upon. This was far more 1 satisfactory than hoped for, and the * result is that the situation in Florida ; is about cleared up. Congress ap l propriated four and a quarter mil i lion dollars for the and the 1 bureau having the matter in charge 1 is now asking for fifteen million to carry on the work and to assure the rest of the country against damage from this insect. Mr. C. F. Williams, associate hor ’ ticulturist at State College, discussed the effect of defoliation on growth and fruiting of the peach. He com- I pared the peach tree to any other manufacturing plant, showing how the ' tree takes the elements from soil and air and manufactures the peach. By far the most important part of this manufacturing plant is the leaf, and ■ defoliation means simply reduction in manufacturing equipment with con ’ sequent lessening of production. He ’ summarized a good deal of his talk into one sentence when he said “Green leaves on your trees puts greenbacks in your pocketbooks.’’ Mr. Williams laid a lot of stress upon the importance of the right amount of water. He declared that it requires about three thousand gal lons of water to make a bushel of peaches, and that most of this water is taken in through the leaves. Pruning is a dwarfing process, and too heavy pruning is injurious to the trees because it cuts off too much foliage. Pruning should he done in relation to fertilization and water supply. Where irrigation is possible the water supply can be controlled; here that is impossible, but fertiliz ing and pruning can be adapted to the supply and approximately the same end obtained. Dr. J. R. Magness, chief horticul turist of the United States depart ment of agriculture in charge of fruits and nuts, also discussed the leaf. He emphasized its relation to size, color and quality of fruit. He endorsed much that Mr. Williams had said and elaborated somewhat upon it. Dr. Magness regretted that his bureau had no experimental data on peach trees but it has done consider able work with pears and apples, and the general application is the same. Fruit production is governed almost entirely by leaf surface, and it is surprising how many leaves are re quired to make a peach or an apple. Experiments conducted by his depart ment indicate that best results are obtained when there are 30 to 40 healthy leaves for each apple. This may sound unreasonable, but it will be more easily appreciated when it is known that a vigorous and healthy eight year old peach tree has 15,000 to 18,000 leaves. His experiments, conducted by taking apples grown with ten leaves, and with twenty, and with thirty and forty, also showed that as leaf area was increased, so was the size of the fruit. The in crease was not quite in proportion to leaf increase, but the quality of the fruit was better. He surmised that peaches which would pack about 125 to the bushel would require forty to fifty leaves per each. In answer to a question from the audience Dr. Magness explained that the time of thinning peaches had an important bearing upon their size and quality. He recommended relatively late thinning for two reasons. In the first place, during the early life of the peach most of the energy of the tree goes into making the pit and not the flesh of the peach. Too early thinning tends to enlarge the pit without compensating gain, ip fruit. Then, too, by waiting until about the time the pit is hard the same re sults may be obtained in conserving the tree’s energy for the flesh of the peach, and faulty fruit can be picked off, thus assuring better quality for what remains on the tree. As to pruning, Dr. Magness said that heavy pruning cuts off more fruit buds than leaves, and therefore means fewer peaches and less total production, but is most likely also to make a larger peach and one of bet ter quality. Two things effect the coloring of the peach—light expos ure and sugar content. Sugar con tent can not be obtained with too little foliage, and proper light can not be had with too much. Each tree must be studied as an individual in this respect. Replying to a question from the audience the speaker said he did not think this section could compete with California in growing canning peach es. The prevailing price there for several years has been around $25 a ton for No. 1 size, about two and three-quarter inches. Due to the ad vantage in controlling water supply some growers produce as much as 20 tons per acre. That is impratical in the sandhills. • Anothet very interesting report was that made by E. B. Morrow, ex tension horticulturist, on a recent survey of orchard practices in the sandhills. He visited 25 orchards, ,< mao nakvuhik PITTSBORO. N. C. ontaining 225,000 trees ftiid found i variety of practices in fertilization, pruning and cultivation. He found nine growers using "a- 9—4—5 ferti lizer; five growers using 9—4—7; two using 9- —4—5, and one each using the following formulas: 50 —6— 6, B—4 , 9—7 —7, 10 4 —7, 7 7 6, 9 6 —B, 3-+-4 —6, and 8 —5—5. As to the nitrogen ratio he found 15 growers using a 50-50 percentage of organic and inorganic, four using 75—25, two using a 60 —40, two o—100, and one 100—0. He discovered about as wide variation in methods of applica tion of fertilizer, methods of pruning and cover crops used. All of which convinced him that somebody was wrong, but at this time and from vestigation so far made he could not make any definite recommendation as to the best method. He suggested, as some of the other speakers did also, that he hoped the 1930 experi ments would yield more definite knowledge on the question. Dr. J. H. Beaumont, head of the Sfeate College Department of Horti culture, offered some recommenda tions for orchard management, al though he too confessed a lack of ex perimental data upon which to base definite opinion or recommendation. ► I He urged to keep their trees ■ growing constantly and consistently during the summer and fall, to apply . fertilizer as needed to Accomplish this result, to keep the soil lively with • plenty of humus 1 from winter crops, 1 to conserve the moisture supply, and i to study each peach tree just as the » cattle man studies each individual in, * his herd. He suggested also that it would. be a good thing for the peach growers to visit other orchards more i frequently and exchange ideas and relate experiences, and to this end he suggested organization of a motor . cade over the whole peach belt dur ing the coming growing season. Something of this kind has already i been done in prunning demonstra-j tions conducted by the extension de-i partment. During all of the talks by these! authorities upon their respective sub-! je’ets the growers showed the closest interest, and frequently interrupted j the speakers with questions that clari fied points under discussion. In ad journing the institute President Ross stated that another meeting in some other part of the peach belt would be called later in the spring. A num ber of new members were signed up, the membership entailing no dues or fees of any kind. It is the desire of the promoters to get every grower of peaches in the two states in the institute, so that its spokesmen may be entitled to respectful hearing in congress or elsewhere. ® INTER-COUNTY HOSPITAL (From The Sanford Express) •The Laurinburg Exchange says that the commissioners of both Rich mond and Scotland counties have voted a special appropriation of county funds to the Hamlet hospital to aid in charity work under the plan of the Duke Foundation. The Hamlet hospital is no longer a private institution but a public hos pital, the policy of which is to be controlled by a board of directors from Richmond and Scotland coun ties. It is believed, says The Ex be cheaper for the counties than change, that this arrangement will any other that could be devised. Why can’t such a plan as this be worked out between the commis sioners of Lee, Chatham, and Har nett. An arrangement like this would make hospital treatment cheaper for all parties concerned. (It should be done.—Editor of The Record.) The Lost B. V. D.’s Have Been Located (From The Hamlet News-Messenger). Below is given a synopsis of a farce comedy in two acts, enacted in Hamlet one day last week. ACT I. Scene 1. Sanitary Laundry, Vance street, Hamlet. Howard Hughes, Mrs. Spence and one or two more of the drivers are in the office of the laundry. Big car drives up front, irate lady jumps out, runs into laundry office. Demands to know where are . her husband’s B. V. D.’s. Says the week’s laundry has just come back minus these garments. Husband needs them; laundry must get them up. Hughes has book keeper make note of missing ap parel, and promises lady to make thorough search. Scene 2. Hughes and the drivers canvassing their list to see who else about the same size of friend husband has suit of the same kind that can be “swiped” to replace missing apparel. Not much luck in search. Worried expression on faces of all as the office is closed for the night. ACT 11. Scene 1. Main Street, Hamlet, same evening. Laundry superintend ent walking about trying to spot somebody that might have a suit of B. V. D.’s same size to come to the laundry next day. Man walks up, touches him on shoulder. Mac recog nizes friend husband of the missing unmentionable and grows pale. Hus band tells him not to worry about the garments. Says he has them on. Wife was away from home Sat urday night, so he didn’t take his bath and change his clothes. Wife doesn’t know and husband hopes she won’t find it out. Tells Mac not to worry but appeals for pro tection. Scene 2. Laundry office next morn ing. Everybody happy. Scene 3. A home “somewhere in Hamlet.” Why bring that up! “And so far, far into the night.” $ Is it because tears are not worth their salt that we are told not to cry over spilled milk? Thick tongues are responsible for a lot of thin ideas. - ' S y ' .n - —MORE ABOUT-* • ._ .j \ ■ GROUNDHOG STARTS ON PAGE ONE “If Candlemas is fair and clear, There’ll be two winters in the year.” The French and Germans have sim ilar rimes. But what difference will it make if the sun does shine enough on this day to enable the little proph etic varmint to see his shadow? It is always disputed each year wheth er the sun was bright enough or not. As usual some will say he did and that the weather is already worse, while others will say he didn’t and that the weather is bet-' ter. So the controversy will remain unsettled for another year. What little information is avail able on the subject shows that the old superstition, tradition or what ever you choose to call it varies in different countries. And different localities and countries have differ-, ent animals to carry out the idea of the groundhog seeing his shadow.; In Germany the badger takes the ’ ' I ' ’ V SOY BEANS and LESPEDEZA i i , A car of Mammoth Yellow Soy Beans will be unloaded at Pittsboro j " MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3 800 bushels will be delivered at SI.BS per Bushel i i A shipment of Lespedeza Seed will also be unloaded.
