LENOIR, N. C. LENOIR NEWS-TOPIC, FEBRUARY 24, 1921 Page Three HOME AND FARM DEPARTMENT By D. W. Robert. County A(mt Good Year to Improva Soil . iNorth Carolina farmers now have the best opportunity in years to im prove their land by growing legumes and turning them under, according to the North Carolina division of agronomy, which lists five reasons why soil improvement is desirable this year: 1. It is not safe to plant "money crops" on as many acres as last year. 2. Cutting the acreage of "money crops" will leave lots of land idle unless some soil improving crop is planted on it. 3. Cow peas, soy beans, red clover and other legume seeds are cheaper now than they have been in years. 4. They can be planted with smaller expense for seed, labor and fertilizers. I. The land will then be in good shape to make decidedly larger yields when times get better. When a crop of peas, beans or clo ver is turned under much nitrogen that the plant has taken from the air, and which costs nothing but the ex pense of growing the crop, will be added to the soil. Acid phosphate or potash applied to such a crop is taken up, then turned back itno the soil and used over again by the next crop. The fertilizing values of one ton of roughage are: Soybean vines (while), $18.65; soybean vines (beans re anoved), $15.63; red clover, $15.62; crimson clover, $13.54; cowpeas, $19.35; velvet beans, $13.35; peanut vines, $9.53; corn stover, $6.20; wheat straw, $4.02; rye straw, $4.76. These are figured at the wholesale price of fertilizer, exclusive of freight charges and retailers' profits. With soybeans, red clover, crimson clover, cowpeas and velvet beans thoroughly inoculated about 50 to 60 per cent or more of their fertilizing values are due to the nitrogen which these crops take directly from the air. Merchants May Help Woo Pros perity Back Supply merchants throughout the State are being offered a chance to help bring prosperity back by co-op erating with the North Carolina am mal industry division in its efforts to pu t"a brood sow on every farm and take care of her." Letters from Raleigh are being sent to thousands of merchants ex plaining how they can help them selves, as well as their communities, by getting behind the one brood sow on every farm idea. One of the let ters says: "When the farmer has money busi ness is good. "A car load of eighty 200-pound hogs is worth, at 10 cents a pound, $1,600. Few individual farmers can ship by car lot. Only a few more hogs on the fannis in your section would make car lot shipments pos sible. "There's your outlet for a farm product that will bring more money into your territory." Besides contributions, which will be used entirely to purchase paid ad vertising space, merchants can help by running short sentence. about hogs in their regular advertiments. "Copy" for this is being furnished by the animal industry division. More milk much less medic Farm work not planned is often never done. Live communities and live news papers are found together. Be a "bull" on your conrmunity and show it by subscribing for the community newspaper. Oh, cotton and tobacco, I give you notice now; on some land where you grew last year I'm putting in a pas ture for I have bought a sow. Farmers who carried on corn growing demonstrations last year with the help of county farm agents report an average yield of 48 bushels to the acre the State averaging about 22 bushels. CYCLONE RIPS A BIG PATH IN WESTERN FORESTS Eight billion board feet of tim ber was destroyed by the cyclone that ripped a 75-mile path, 83 miles wide, through the forests of the Olympic peninsula, State, of Wash ington Jan. 29. Reports from the forest service class the storm as "the greatest disaster ever recorded in the annals of forestry and lumber ing." The wind registered 132 miles an hour before instruments at the weather station weer destroyed. It is estimated to have reached 150 miles thereafter. Practically all standing timber over 2,250 square miles went down in a tangled mass, obliterating roads and telegraph lines and with little chance of salvage. Most of it was western hemlock and spruce, and subject to rapid decay. No human lives were lost, but buildings were destroyed and many animals perished, including elk. A number of animals were penned in by the tangle of debris to die of hun ger. The. best winter feeding ground for elk of that region was swept. SOME WIND A stranger in New Mexico became very much excited and alarmed at the continual high wind, which carried tons of sand through the air during the day. He remarked to an old resi dent that it seemed to be an awful windstorm. The old residenter re plied : "Windstorm? This ain't no wind storm. Why, stranger, last week the wind was blowing. You've seen ground squirrels? Well, I saw one. of them thirty feet in the air dig ging a hole in the sand." The vital statistician for the State recently received a certificate of the death of a Httle girl in one of the mountain counties, caused by swal lowing a Harding campaign button, which choked her to death. SIT DOWN A MINUTE AND THINK Six Up Your Condition Look at the Facts Squarely PAYS TO HAVE GOOD HEALTH Most IUnesse Are Prevented by a Good Supply of Rich, Red Blood; Take Pepto-Mangan, the Red Blood Builder Either you are in good health or you are not. There's no half way. You may think nothing of being a little run down. It miay not worry you if you look pale. You may think you'll be all right tomorrow or next day. But will you? Certain it is when you do not feel just right you are not right. There is probably something the matter with your blood. And while you can get around and do your work you are leaving yourself open to any of the diseases that are always waiting to take possession of run-down people. When you are pale and easily tired, when you cannot enjoy your meals, when you lose enthusiasm, your blood needs attention. Take Pepto-Mangan for a while. It is a great tonic. It will build up your resistance to disease, and you will feel stronger. The little red cor puscles are fighters. They battle with disease germs and win out when there are enough of them. Keep your system well supplied. Then you will keep well and vou will enjoy life. But be certain you get the genu ine I'epto-Mangan. Ask for it by the full name "(iude't Pepto-Mangan." Some people take it in tablet form. It is so convenient. The liquid and the tablets have the same meuicinal value. Look for the name ""Gude's" on the package. Adv. TREES SHOULD BE SPRAYED BEFORE SPRING GETS HERE One of the most important sprays for orchard trees is a spraying sched ule applied during the winter months when there is no foliage on the trees. The reason for its appli cation during this season of the year is because an insecticide of suf .licient strength to kill scale insects will, if applied at any other time, burn off the foliage and seriously in jure the tree. Scale insects are prevalent throughout this State and are respon sible for much damage. The only practical way that these hardy little pests can be controlled is by the ap plication of a concentrated spray at least once every winter, some time after the leaves fall and before the buds open in the spring. This spray consists of one quart of commercial standard lime sulphur solution added to eight or ten parts of water. Scale- cide is often used and is quite satis factory. Although somewhat more expensive it is a miscible oil, which makes it easier to handle. It also leaves the tree slightly smoother in appearance. For these reasons it is preferred by many. This spray not only kills scale insects but also the eggs of aphids and any other insects which may be hibernating in the crevices of the bark. Thoroughness of application is essential to satis factory results. Remember that it pays to spray one or two trees in the back yard, as well as the commercial orchard. If further information is desired write the North Carolina department of agriculture, Raleigh, for bulletins. W. Bruce Mabee, Extension Ento mologist.

Dont stay gtuffed-up and miserable, GNuiNE "BULL" DURHAM tobacco makes 50 flood cigarettes for 19c A TEST CASE (Charlotte Observer) There seems brewing a smail re bellion of States against the govern 'itient in the matter of forcing State railroad rates up to the level estab lished by the interstate commerce commission. To date as many as nineteen States, including North Car olina, have joined in the movement, and we take it that this indicates all the States that have been ordered to reduce their rates. The attorneys general of the several States are maintaining that the people have a right to control traffic within their borders, this being a principel which was upheld by John Marshall and sub sequently maintained by all the courts of the country. Perhaps some thing will come of this movement. At any rate, the people will know whether the last vestige of "State's rights" have disappeared. It would seem that if the States have lost their rights to regulate rates on their own railroads, they have lost all other rights that were understood to have been guaranteed them by the con stitution. It appears to be a test case in the better sense of the word Linimeni is always ready t oaso rhcumaii&L. ii AT the very first twinge, down comes my bottle of Sloan's; then quick relief, tvithout rubbin, for it s stimulating and scatters congestion. The ooys use it for e tiff muscles, and it helps Sally's backaches, too." SocfOc, $1.40. A DRASTIC MEASURE AGAINST IMMIGRATION PASSED A drastic measure against immi gration during the next year was adopted Saturday by the Senate, which, by the overwhelming vote of (il to 2, passed the Dillingham im migration bill, after adding amend ments to increase its restrictive fea tures. In the form adopted the bill, it is estimated, would limit the num ber of immigrants during the next twelve imonths to slightlv over 355,000. The Dillingham bill was adopted as a substitute for the John son bill, passed recently by the house. The latter would bar for a year all immigrants except relatives of aliens now in this country. The bills now go to conference for adjustment. Advocates of the Dillingham sub stitute declared that it would keep out more immigrants than the John son measure. Both bills would go into effect within two months, the Dillingham measure effective for 15 and the Johnson bill for 14 months. IF HA1P!

WHAT WOMEN ON THE JURY SHALL WEAR Justice has always been pictured as a blindfolded goddess, but they may need blinders for the judges and attorneys to keep,' their minds on their work if women appear in the jury .box in short skirts, open-work hosiery and flashy hats, says a dis patch from London. It has already been suggested that robes be pro vided for the-women jurors, but mi lady rebels at such a sombre cov ering. Lady Alexander, generally ac claimed the best dressed English so ciety woman, approves of only the plainest garb for women in the jury box." For women who must choose their dress from limited wardrobes," said Lady Alexander, "I would sug gest the plainest and darkest coat and skirt possible, and the smallest hat, which should be denuded of any feathers that it may possess; further, I suggest that jurywomen should eliminate anything from their cloth ing that would be likely to attract undue attention to the jury box." Lady Asquith, another well known society woman, disapproves the robe idea. "I should hate to have a robe served out to me," she said. "Why, you don't know what infectious ial ment you might catch. Let women dress sensibly, and if their hats or the feathers in their hats are in the way let them take them off the same as thev do in the theater."

"Tanlac has completely restored my health and 1 feel finer than in years," was the straight-forward statement made recently by Mr. Geo. VV.

"It has not only made a new man of me but I have actually gained thirty-five pounds in weight and feel as well as I ever did in my life. I am telling all of my friends about Tanlac but they can see for them selves what it has done for me. "When I began taking Tanlac I was in an awfully run-down condi tion. 1 was away otf in weight, felt weak and nervous all of the time and couldn't take any interest in my work or anything else. My main Want Ads. Help WAKE'FI Always Lowest in Price trouble was indigestion. Nothing seemed to agree with me. At times 1 would have dizzy spells and at other times my back would ache so bad I could hardly get up and down in my chair. This is just the condi tion I was in when I started to take this medicine. It took just six bot tles to make a well man of me. I now have a fine appetite, everything tastes good and my digestion is per fect.
