Strawn, president of the Chamber of Com merce of the United-States, carries a warning‘that ‘the fiscal situation of our National Government, embracing problems of taxation, expenditures and borrowings, ugently demands the careful thought of all business men and business organizations.” Mr. Strawn says that the Federal budget is ‘‘seriously unbalanced,” and that it may be necessary to increase our public debt by as much as $1,500, 000,000 by next June. “That is more new debt borrdwings than the Govern ment has ever undertaken to secure in any five-month period of peace in its history,” states Mr. Strawn., He adds! ■■■■■..• - ■ ' -“-Unless- theire are drastic reduc tions, our govtmment may not. be able to borrow or even tax its waj itno fiscal stability in a reasonable period of time. The unavoidable amount of new-borrowing and new taxing that thc'govemment must en gage in during.the next year or more has doddering effects upon recon struction, even though some of the revenues are devoted to helpful, sup port of our credit structure and other necessary agencies of our economic life.” * Governments throughout the World have been strained to keep from go ing under, and some of them have “cracked” under the loads of their public expenditures and debts. It has recently become So common for governments to default on theii bonds, and ask-for moratoriums that these tragedies of the nations of the world go almost unnoticed. | The revenues of our own govern: ment have fallen off an the fiscal year of 19331, $1,75,000,000 below normal what they were the preceding year. r-j~—••-. - That the public has been hit below the. belt by the depression is shown by tlie fact that in the collection of in come taxes that the amounts received by the Federal treasurer were $1,250, 000,000 lower in 1931 than in 1930. But ittbst people pay very little atten tion to these distressing disclosures of our public records. ' The person who will take the pains to turn to tiie financial pages of the daily newspaper he reads will find that the United States Government bonds are in a poor way; that Liberty bnda are sold a low a $94, and that treaury issues are quoted as loW as $86. -, ; -President Hoover in his annual mess age to Congress on December 8, stated: “It is estimated that the Federal tax payer is now directly contributing to the livelihood of 10, 000,000 of our citizens.” The President also stated at the same time that “as an aid to unemnldy mont the Federal Government is en gaged in the greatest program of pub lic-building, harbor, flood-control, high way, aviation, merchant and naval ship construction in all history.” He in formed Congress that the expenditures on these works during the calendar year of 1981 would reach $780„000,000 compared with $260,000,000 in 1928. The President’s program, already ac cepted in most of its details by Con gress, calls for .legislation to Streng then the Federal Land Bank System; the $2,000,000,000 Reconstruction Fi nance Corporation the creation of a system of heme loan discount anlcs in Order to revive.employment, and greater credit for small banks, i Plans to help depositors, > in closed anks to recover at least part of their money have been carefully, devised.

LESPEDEZA WILL MAKE FARMS PAY Improved Varieties of Lespede za Preferableto Cowpeas.Says State College Student. j SUrrABLETOLEE CO. When Turned Under Greatly In creases Yield, Especially of . Corn, He States. i - . ! (Editor’s Note—The author of the folldwing article ift.a Broadway boy, who- is a junior . at State College, where he is specializing in agricul ture.) .(By Ralph _B. Hell;,.) . 1 Many farmers are confronted with the problem of selecgag a suitable crop “to follow wheat, oats, rye, "Or barley that will rnore than pay them for seeding the crop. 4n former years, especially in the Sandhill sec tiori'"6f North Carolina, the practice -followed in planting a crop after har vesting wheat, oats, rye, or - barley, has been to plow under the stubble and soW cow peas or let the land lie idle while some of the most important food elements bleached “out of the soil or the particular field became almost useless for cultivation due to the ero sion caused by the heavy rains wo have in summer. You can see that the former practice is much better . than the latter because cowpeas, when cut at the right time, make a very palatable fed for farm animals, add some organic matter to the soil, and also add some i nitrogen. How ever, ccw peas are not the best crop to .plant after harvesting small grain in the late spring because they have to be seeded when most farmers are .busy working with other crops and there is not enough of the stalk left to increase the organic matter in the soil as a good crop should. rieties of Lespedezaor Japan clover, wqf introduced into North Carolina and since that time has proven to be a very valuable'leguminous crop: Lespedeza iq an annual and makes no growth until (warm : weather. The stems aro very fine and bunched and have a tendency to spread if not planted close together. If lespede xa is planted close together it will grow erect and often reach the height of 80 inches or more, but av erages from 6 to 24 inches. : The leaves are small, Jmt with their ‘abundance, there is a heavy yield of foliage. Bright pink flowers are bom in the axils of the ; leaves and when the flowers mature, the pods contain one seed each. j Lespedeza will grow' on most all types of soil in North Carolina, but makes its best growth on land that is fairly moist during eumfaer. Low lands [can be made to pay if onfce planted in lespedeza. Hillsides and abandoned jfields are often, planted in lespedeza and have proven very satisfactory for ■grazing, because it is one of our best | summer grazing crops. It is at its best, during the hot summer and,fall months,>when most pasture plants are dormant. The usual rate of seeding in pasture mixturea is 10 pounda_per acre. Lespedeza also makes first class hay that is high in feed value, easily, cured and with little waste. The yield ranges from tone to "three tons per acre, depending upon the fertility of the solLand the- seasons. Lespedeza should to sown in Febru ary. The most common practice is to mix twelve and tone half {rounds (one-half bushel) of seed with -100 to 200 pounds of fertilizer and drill in very lightly over the young grain irop with an ordinary grain drill. Another method is to broadcast thi seed over the grain and harrow ii lightly. In this method use 25 lbs (one bushel) to the acre. The see< are sown in the hull and do not ger minate for some weeks after sowing this allows you to harvest the smal grain before the lespedeza is over one or alwo inches high, but growth is rapid after that time. Lespedeza haj or two inches high, but growth is cut rather high at this time, the plants will grow enough before frost to reseed the land. Lespedeza ranks among the best of our leguminous plants as a soil im prover. A thick growth four inches high when turned under has been known to increase the yield of com 12 bushels to the acre. * This is proof enough that it pays to sow lespedeza because the increased yield in the croi following it will over pay for 4h< seeding besides the palatable hay tha inay be cut frQm an acre. As men tioned in the beginning of this para graph, lespedeza is a legume, and du< to thi§ fact, it acts as a host to th< nitrogen-fixing bacteria -in the soi that takes “free nitrogen” from th< air and along with organic carbor compounds (plant residue) sythesizc it as food to maintain their owr bodies. When these nitrogen-fixing bacteria die, their bodies are still ir the soil and because they contain ni trogen, the soil is improved. The following table shdws the average in crease of bushels of com per acre the following year after lespedeza had been plowed under. These averages are based on experiments with six dif ferent types of soil: :: Yield of Com Bushels per Acre After turning under Lespedeza. 44.2 Without Lespedeza .......21.9 Difference . .22.3 Then; are four varities grown ir North Carolina; —namely, Common Kobe, Tennessee 76, and Korean. The Common variety is harder and mow persistent than others, but the Kobe and Tennessee 76 are taller, more er ect, and are better for hay making than the Common variety. The Kor ean Lespedeza has coarser stems than •the Common variety and matures at least a month earlier than the Com mon. For this reason, it is well ad apted to the mountain section. * The selection of Lespedeza seed is very important, and care should be taken to select seed free from dodder and harmful weed seeds.. The seed should always be new seed, because germination is poor after the first year. inexpensive Prescription Guar anteed To End Rheumatism Thousand? Joyfully Astonished at Swift 48 Relief.

This is one of the most severe I drains on the economic life of the State. The combined forest fire damages over the last 22 years surpasses the State’s total investment in the build ings and improvements at all of the - State-owned institutions of higher learning. The total would almost sufficient to operate all public schools in North Carolina for a year. Flames are the primary cause of , rendering some 4,000,000 acres of ■ land idle or unproductive in North Carolina. Foresters estimate the | average land should produce annual , ly timber valued at about $2 per acre. | Landowners and the State, at this Tate, are losing revenue approximat ing $8,000,000 each year. This does not take into account the degree to which development of the State may have been set back because of a re duction of the amount of timber as a raw material for manufacturing. Norths Carolina’s total area is ap proximately 31,000,000 acres. Ap proximately two-thirds of this area or some 20,586,000 acres are classed as forest land. This includes both productive and unproductive acres. The importance of putting two thirds of the State Jto its most efficient use is a primary concern. Nature intend ed that, land not needed for other pur poses should be used for growing of forests. The fact that virtually all land in the State was forested when the white man first came to the coun , try is proof of the purpose for which i that not needed otherwise was intend ed. In the building of cities, cultiva tion of land, and in other ways, man has upset the balance of nature, mak ing it more important that he restore as much as possible . to its original use. Forests constitute a vital part of i the capital stock of North Carolina. They are reservoirs • of >wealth that may be tapped at appropriate periods when prices of timber make it attrac tive. These resources will be steadily reduced unless a wise forest policy is pursued. Fire is the worst enemy of the forests. It not only destroys matur ed timber, but it kills young growth which would replace timber as it is cut. This foe of the forest is njore responsible than any other factor for *the unproductive condition of millions fof acres. IN MEMORIAM. !
