/IF you ever came face to face with a
germ, would you recognize it? Os
course it is not likely that you ever
will see a germ, unless you own a
tremendously powerful microscope, for
you would have to magnify one over
a thousand times to make as big as
a pin head. But you should recognize
the fact that these tiny germs can get
into your blood streams through the
smallest cut, and give you typhoi l
fever, tuberculosis, lockjaw, blood
poisoning, and many mere dangerou 3
• and perhaps fatal diseases. There is
j one sure safeguard against these
dangers washing every cut, no
matter how small, thoroughly wit:i
Liquid Borozone, the safe antisep

! and the owner decided he would
i try an experiment this season. He
planted his corn in two-foot rows
and practically sowed it in the drills.
We should say that it averages a
stalk every six inches, though as
many as three stalks are growing
from some clusters. It was tassel
ing out at a height of eight to ten
feet. Weeds and grass have had no
chance to get hold, despite the fact
that very little ploughing could be
done. The ground is utterly shaded
! and the moisture can scarcely
escape except through the pores of :
-the corn. The yield would be at
least 200 bushels to the acre, if ;
moisture sufficient should continue.
The writer did not attempt to
penetrate it, and Mr. Hall thinks
he has more stalks on the acre than
he had the year he broadcast it. .
The writer’s father used to brag |
on his Buckhorn bottom corn by j
saying that one could not see a i
gray horse in it if he had the horse *
by the tail, but the four-foot black
soil of the Buckhorn swamp could
not equal what Mr. Halil has on
one of the flat, sevanna-like acres
of the formerly considered un
productive flats of western Samp-;
son, and whether he makes corn j
or not, he will have made enough j
forage to fill silo after silo.
And while this acre is thus show- j
ing the possibilities of that soil, j
thousands of acres are being tended ■
between Roseboro and Clinton
whose yield must depend chiefly.

upon the fertilizer put upon it for ■
the season’s crop. Yet in Clinton, i
on land similar to that of Mr. Hall’s, i
is an unpremeditated demonstra
tion of the possibility of kudzu as
a land enricher. Right in the heart
of to’wn, hard-by the Presbyterian
manse, is a lot overgrown Jfor several |
years with Eugene Ashcrafts’ for- j
age and land-improvement bean. The
lot is three feet deep in forage, and
was so last year, and we know not
how many previous years. It is
unwanted and we hear attempts
had been made to destroy it, and
this while Mr. Ashcraft, the opostle .
of kudzu down at Monroe, had a 1
greater demand for kudzu roots
than he could possibly supply. We
seem to recall that he had orders
in 1929 for S4OO worth that he
could not get filled. But, by some j
• strange co-incident, we met Zeb l
Green, the Marshville newspaper
: man and one of Governor Bickett’s
lieutenants in the farm extension 1
work of some kind, and he said that
Eugene Ashcraft was not making
j the headway with kudzu in Union
i that the people of the state sup
! posed. He has not yet popularized
I it. However, Mr. Ashcraft’s faith |
|is still strong or stronger. In Fri-i
day’s Monroe Inquirer, he offers to j
furnish free to 25 Union farmers
seed sufficient for planting an
acre, on the simple condition that
two years from now the recipients
; will pay him five dollars each, pro
jvided only that they feel that they j
jhave made a profitable investment; j
j otherwise they pay nothing, and the
I seeds cost Mr. Ashcraft, for he im- r
ports them.
The writer is inclined to join
' Mr. Ashcraft in his ‘support of the i
luxuriant bean. We know that a ;
I crqp of kudzu like that in Clinton;
! ploughed under on the whitish,
I acres between Clinton and Rose- j
‘bore, would not only supplv abun
dant nitrogen, and now bought at so
costly a price, but so much humus I
, that the very color of the soil
would be changed. Moreover, we
i take no stock in the alleged dif
ficulty of getting clear of .the
stuff when cultivation time comes.
A tractor and a gang of heavy
discs would start the preparation
in short order. Why we saw Fred j
Nooe work up a hedgerow of
honeysuckle last year. The kudzu
grows like honeysuckle, but is a
bean and enriches the soil as does
, any other bean, and affords abun
‘ dant pasturage year after year,
| though cattle would have to cul
t tivate the taste for it as they do
I for sweet clover, for we saw cows
; graze all-round a clump of sweet
clover last summer and never
j taste it. But we hope to see a real
test of the bean here in Chatham,
[as Mr.- R. V. Morris, of Baldwin
i township, stated sometime ago that
jhe was preparing to plant two,
acres.
Another new truck crop ihap l
. been introduced into Little Coharie
i township, in which Roseboro is
located. It is estimated that between
. 300 and 400 acres of dwarf butter
• beans have been planted in the
’ Roseboro area, and they will soon
’be ready for market. A small
acreage last year is said to have
paid well.

LIVING as we do nowadays on a diet consisting largely of
concentrated and highly rehned foods, many persons too
often overlook the absolute need for a certain quantity
of “indigestibles”—food that keeps the digestive tract health
fully at work and provides the excess bulk so necessary to
promote well being.
I It is a recognized law of Nature that the digestive tract of
’ any creature is adapted to suit the kind of diet to which the
v species long has been accustomed. And in order to obtain a clear
picture of the importance of roughage in the human dietary,
it might be well for us to review briefly the three types of crea
tures —including man—that compose the animal kingdom.
First, there Is the species known

; North, where bo vegetable food
Is available, human beings draw
1 their nutriment from both plant
and animal life. Nevertheless,
man cannot eat very bulky vege
table food in any considerable
quantity, because bis digestive
tract is of small capacity. Neither
can be safely eat of the coarser
vegetables, because the lining
membranes of bis stomach and
intestines are too delicate to
withstand N the scraping of the
coarser particles of indigestible
matter without injury.
What Cooking Doee<
One way, In which man baa at
tempted, and with success, to eat
safely the coarser root and leafy
vegetables, is ; through softening
and disintegrating the cellulose
of those foods by cooking them.
The cooking process not only de
composes some of their substances
classed as cellulose, but makes
the remainder of the food more
digestible and thus averts the af
ter distress of eating. When
some of the smaller and fugitive
tribes of American Indians were
farced into localities in which
gome woe scarce and food plants
not abradant, they were com
pelled b j circumstance to eat
gran nod. acorns and other vege
table foods which are coarser
than humans are accustomed to
eat. They suffered greatly from
indigeation, and doubtless injured
their digestive tracts by .taking
cellulose which was too coarse
and irritating. They had not less
tiiM» a score of “grandmother”
remedies for Indigestion to at
test these experiences.
Common knowledge tells us
that indigestible things are dan
gerous if eaten freely: yet it is
equally dear that our intestines
do not function properly unless
there is a certain amount of in
digestible matter to distend them
to the right degree, and to form
a mass which is favorable for
the muscular contractions of the
intestine to move along with the
peristaltic waves.
Between the extremes of having
in the Intestine too much and too
coarse cellulose on the one hand,
and too little indigestible bulky
matter on the other, lies the hap
py medium which is favorable
both to comfort and health. There
are many kinds of cellulose in
different vegetable product*. It
THURSDAY, JUNE 2fi iqq»
forms the framework and fibers
of plants, the walls of vegetable
cells and the coverings of seeds.
In most of its forms, cellulose is
insoluble in boiling water; and
it is not acted upon by any of the
digestive juices, though certain
kinds of bacteria are capable of
fermenting and digesting the cel-'
lulose of certain plants.
Bran is probably the form of
cellulose which has been most
discussed in connection with the
improvement of intestinal hy*
glene through facilitating elim
ination, There is good reason for
, believing, however, that when
bran is eaten exclusively for pro
moting intestinal hygiene, it gen
erally Is eaten to© freely. If prop
erly softened through cooking,
and taken in amounts no greater
than are afforded by eating the
whole c«kekl ; as a breakfast food,
it is usldbubtedly an excellent
source of Cellulose.
What has been said of wheat
bran and its benefits is even' 1 more
particularly true of the cellulose
of the rice kernel. Rice is the
principal cereal grain in the
dietary of more than’half'the hu
man race. Those who’have been
brought up on a diet constantly
containing rice like it better than
any other cereal. We have, in
America, long been accustomed to
eating small amounts of rice oc
casionally, but we generally
never have eaten it as freely as ;
we have either wheat or corn.
Cellulose *bf Rice Softest
The cellulose of the corn ker
nel is considerably more difficult
to digest and more irritating than
the cellulose of either wheat or
rice. Os the three, the cellulose
of rice Is the softest and smooth
est; and for regulating the elim
ination of children, or of adults
with delicate digestive systems, it
is almost ideal as a source of
bulky matter.
A few faddists doubtless eat
too much of cellulose-rich foods,
particularly green leafy vege
tables. While we never should
become extremists about any
feature of the diet, it is a fact
that the modern food regimen
often is lacking in sufficient cel-,
lulose, and this matter of an Idle
stomach and digestive tract is one
of the most serious unemployment!
problems that confronts the hu-*
man race today.
