EDITORIAL The Danbury Reporter PEPPER BKOS.. EIHTOKH AKD PVBI.IKHEKH. Subscription : 3 mo., 25c.; 6 mo., 50c; one year, SI.OO WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1916. ALL QUIET ALONG THE POTOMAC ONCE MORE. Tile crisis with Germany is over, and there will be no war, and no breaking off of relations. The Kaiser yielded to President Wilson's demands fully. BICKETT FOR GOVERNOR. The hottest contest in the primaries next month will be that between Bickett and Dautridge for, Governor. Bicket is in the lead, and will doubtless! win out. Danbury and Stokes county Democrats; are overwhelmingly for Bickett, who is well known j here, having formerly lived at Danbury where he I practiced law. THE WAY OF THE DOPE FIEND IS HARD. One day last week--it was hot, dry and the dust was terrific—the coca-cola fiends were in a serious' predicament. One of the joints had dope but no ice, j another ice but no dope, while the third, who had' plenty of both ice and dope, knowing the helpless! condition of his rivals, and realizing he held the key! to the situation, kept his store closed, and let the 1 victims suffer until it suited his pleasure and con venience to open. SHORT CROP OF TOBACCO. There is now no doubt about a short crop of tobac co for 1916. Not only in Stokes, but from every sec tion of the tobacco belt comes news of a serious de-j ficiency in plants. Stokes county cannot possibly raise over 75 per cent, of a normal crop, with the chances pointing to even less. Fertilizer sales are reported off 25 to 50 per cent, at all distributing centers. King, Stokes county, reports 100 per cent, less guano being sold than last year. THE CORN AND TOMATO CLUBS. • ( The showing made by the corn and tomato clubl| boys and girls at Danbury last Saturday, under the ] supervision of County Superintendent of Schools Smith and County Demonstrator Holt, was a very * great credit to the county and has attracted State- ( wide interest. The ability and energy and enthu- 1 siam of Mr. Holt is not excelled anywhere, and the * indications are that Stokes is going to take the lead £ in scientific farming and hold it. 9 Saturday's meeting was one of the most entertain- h ing, instructive and useful things held here for J many years. It was an entire success. OLD BUCK! GUANO i 1 ( i 8-2-2 Guaranteed ' For sale at the lowest ! i i prices by ; A. W. Davis & C 0.,; ' a \ DANBURY OR WALNUT COVE. e THE DANBURY REPORTER ' Map Issued By ; Slate Department. The ARronomy division of the 1 department of agriculture has issued a map giving the limits ! of the State adapted to the grow ing of wheat, oats and buck wheat. In wheat production, David son is the banner county. Ac cording to the last census, in the four counties of Davidson, For syth. Guilford and Randolph was produced 24.3 per cent of the' J whole wheat crop of the State, and fourteen counties in that > | section produced 60 per cent of 1 j the total crop. Fortunately the division has carried on studies' ; with different varieties of wheat J for a number of years at the j Iredell farm, located in Iredell' .county, in about the center of! ' the greatest wheat-growing sec-1 I tion of the State, and ha 9 found I that Leap's Fulcaster, Purple! Straw, Red May, Poole and; Fultz were good yielding va rieties. Of these, probably the' first two are as good or better j yielders than the others for average Piedmont and Mountain ! i soils. Altho wheat cannot gen-1 erally be grown very satisfactor ily on the very sandy soil of thei j easterii part of the State, it is; a crop that may be used to good : advantage either for grain or hay, or both, for most farms in ; the State. Oats have a much wider I adaptation to the conditions pre vailing in different parts of the; State than does wheat. Spring-' sown oats in the mountains and fall-sown oats in the Piedmont and eastern sections of the State have Yeen found to pro duce good returns, especially for j hay purposes, when sown alone, or with hairy vetch or crimson' i clover. The largest producing |i counties are Anson, Rowan, and 1 Union, Mecklenburg, Robeson ! i j 1 and Randolph. For fall sowing. the Appier and Rustproof are|j good varieties, while for spring j seeding the Burt and Fuighum 11 have been found to be good; t yielders. Altho buckwheat is grown j more or less in most of the' . mountain counties of North Carolina and to a minor extent in some of the foot-hill counties, it is most important as a farm ! crop in Ashe, Alleghany and i WautaUga. These counties pro- ] duce more than twelve times aa i much as all the remaining part ] of the State. Of all Southern States in the production of this ; crop, North Carolina comes third j in importance, West Virginia i and Virginia ranking ahead of ] North Carolina. It appears ] from the facts at hand that this crop might be materially increas ed, to the advantage of many of our upper Piedmont and mountain farmers. The three ; leading varieties of buckweat grown in this country are the common gray, silver hull and Japanese. N ; 1 Rheumatism. I If you are troubled with , chronic or muscular rheumatism , give Chamberlain's Liniment 1 a trial. The relief from pain 11 which it affords is alone worth , many times its cost.

C., May 10, 1916. : To the Republican Voters of -1 Stokes County : 5 1 Numerou} friends have i n form !; ed me recently that there is a ■ j rumor current in certain sections ■ of the county to the effect that I i have withdrawn as a candidate for Register of Deeds. In justice to myself and my friends who have asserted their loyalty to me I desire to state I , that this is positively not the j case and that I am still a candi-! date for the office, subject, of j course, to the action of the Re • publican primary and convention, I realizing that the strength of the' party lies in unity, j In seeking this nomination my first thought is the welfare of ' the party and it is my purpose to j conduct my part of the campaign in a fair manner, open and above ' board, as I have reason to believe 'all the other candidates are do-1 ; ing. I am allied with no factions land am affiliated with no man or set of men in seeking the nomina- 1 |tion, and if chosen to represent] i the Republican party as a candi- J I date for Register of Deeds it will i be by the support of the masses. I am simply a Republican, born ' and raised a Republican, believ i ; ing in every principle of Repub j licanism, and a firm believer in the majority ruling in every casel and should I be nominated and elected it will be my sole aim to continue to serve the party and my purpose to fill the office in a manner acceptable to the whole ! people. Notwithstanding the fact that the "two-term-; resolution" has been abolished Ii want to assure every Republican: who supports me in the primary and convention that should I be declared the nominee and elected to the office that I positiyely will not be a candidate for renomina tion after having served the peo ple for four successive years. In closing I beg to thank my friends who are supporting my candidacy and to assure them that their efforts are appreciated to the fullest extent. Yours very truly, SAM P. HEATH. NOTICE.
