Berkshire Herd of A. H. Litaker Gets
Prominent Publicity in tl»e Southern
Berkshire News.
A special correspondent of The South
ern Berkshire News, i»jiWished at Pine
fyurst, X. C.. has the following to say
about a visit to«the faryi of Mr. A. H.
Litaker, of this county :
The other herd we had the pleasure;
of visiting was that of Mr. A. H. Litak- (
er at Concord. X. C. For* a long time j
we have been promising ourselves that
we would visit Sir. Litaker and look
over his herd. We knew that he had
a good herd because we had seen some i
mighty good Berkshires from there but •
we must admit that we were surprised
at wh\t we saw. In the first place
it would be hard to select a more ideal ,
1 spot for a hog breeding plant than the
Litaker farm, about five miles from j
Concord. If there is a levM acre on
the farm we failed to observe it as it
is gently rolling from one end of the 1
200 acres to the other and no more
ideal drainage could be imagined. Very j
little of the farm is in cultivated crops. \
something like twenty acres of corn
th*s"looked like it might turn off fifty
butfhe’s to the acre, and the balance of
the entire farm, except the “Hog Town" j
as Mr. Litaker calls it. is cut into
afrout ten to twenty acre pastures and
every one of them is down to a good
stand of grass or clover. If there was
a wash or gully on the entire place we
failed to find it. A good crop of hay
is cut from most of these meadows and '
the Jerseys, for Mr. Litaker has one of
the ebst little herds of Jerseys we have '
seen in a long time, and the Berk
shires make good use of the pasture.
We found the sow herd to number
about eighteen breeding sows of the
best blood lines but we did not find but
a few pigs over weaning age as the
maud for spring pigs has cleaned out
the herd with the exception of a few
that are being retained for the breeding
herd and some young pigs that are only
waiting to be weaned bajpl .shipped.
The herd is headed by a son r>f Re ay
*™ype and a young boar of Bowshef
breeding is coming on and is being’used
a little this sp/lng.
One thing we saw that -was a source
of real regret was a young herd of pigs
sired by a Penshurst boar named Kig
Jack and out of a sow purchased from
Penshurst Farm. We simply can’t
get these pigs off our mind and the
source of our regret is that they** were
farrowed in February and will not be
eligible to show in the Pnder Six Months
class this fall for they certainly would
make somebody stand up and take no- i
tiee. We asked Mr. Litaker to price
tlie ooar in this young herd but he
wisely shook his head and said that he
needed him in his übsmess and we don’t

blame him a bit. Another 'pig that
was outstanding was a November gilt of
Mr. I,itaker's own breeding that was
just about right in every way. This
one also stays in the breeding .herd and
( right here we want to say that if every
breeder would select a few of his best
young animals and retain them for the
breeding herd regardless of the price he
was offered that we would have more
i high class breeding herds and the breed
1 would advance in two years as much as
1 it has advanced in ten.
! . It would be almost impossible to find
' a more ideal spot for a "Hog Town"
! than Mr. I.itaker lias selected for his
sow and litter lots as every lot is on
| the side of a hill, is well set in some
! permanent grass or clover and is per
fectly drained. N'o mud holes in these
‘ lots and no bare spots and the sows were
out eating grass exactly like the cows
and how they did seem to enjoy it.
i With ail this good pasture Mr. Litak
t er's feed bill is not the nightmare that
a feed bill is to some breeders as lie
i feeds only enough grain to balance the
green feeds and his hogs are doing well
:on this ration.
| Mr. Litaker has doubtless been years
in building up his farm and lie is still
at it but lie is doing it with practically
no extra labor and lie is making it pay
its own way as lie goes along. We
know of no other way in mliich this
Can be done and if ahy farmer doubts
that it is not .practical to operate a farm
in tlie south without cotton, a lot of
extra hands, and a lot of cultivation we
desire them to pay >h\ Litaker a visit.

(THE CONCORD D*ILY TRIBUNE
GRISSOM MAY BE
* NEXT CANDIDATE
Collector Looms L'p As Contender With
Meek ins For Head of Ticket.
News and Observer. ,
"I shall certainly run for Governor
if my party wants me to do so," was
the declaration , with which Gilliam
Grissom, United) States Collector of
Revenue yesterday gave a three corner
ed slant to the talk of the Republican
candidate in 1024, and., which hereto
fore has been confined utmost exclusive
ly to United States District Attorney
Irvin B. Tucker and Isaac M. Meekins,
who has a position with the United
States Alien Property Custodian in
Wiashingtori. }The announcement gives
promise of a, real battle for the position
of Hag bearer.
"Would you resign your position as
col'eetor to run for Governor?" the
1 Collector Was asked. "I certainly will
* if my party calls, but I am not so sure
about the call as I have had to make a
number of appointments and of course I
have offended twenty for every one I
have pleased," was the reply.
The collector was frankness itself in
the situation and made it
clear that if lie has anything to do with
the campaign next year it will be a
red lint one. regardless of who is the
candidate.
According to Mr. Grissom lie would
prefer to see the race made by John
Motley Morehead, former national com
mitteeman and long the dominant fac
tor in the councils of tile minority party
in this State. But the chances of More
head running are regarded as remote
and tlie collector, who has always been
Morehead's right hand man and who
served as secretary of the Republican
executive committee until appointed to
>ffice does not regard himself as an un
likely second choice. "With a solidified
party behind, me I could win." he de
clared yesterday, but so far he is mak
ing no claim of a solidified party.
Both Tucker and Meekins have been
mentioned prominently not only in con
nection with the nomination for Gov
ernor but ns successors to Judge Henry
G. Connor. The District Attorney has
steadfastly refused to become a candi
date ill any sense of the word for a posi
tion that lias not been vacated by the
incumbent. But while it is well known
that Mr. Tucker would be by no means
adverse to sitting with Judge Connor
on the bench or succeeding him. the Dis
triet Attorney has so far persistently
idiculed any mention of himself hi
-onnection with the gubernatorial race.
On the other hand. Mr. Meekins is
said to be making an active campaign
from Washington for both positions and
is charged by those in his own party
.vho wish him no luck in either race
with planning to use tlie gubernatorial
nomination as a stepping stone to the
judgeship. .
While all three of the men now
mentioned for the nomination hold
federal office and ail of them were ap
pointed by President Harding there is
this important difference. Both Gris
som and Tucker were appointed with
the advice and conscyit of the Republi
can machine in North Carolina while
Meekins went through to appointment
under his own steam.
It is as certain us anything can be in
politics that Grissom and Tucßer will
not contest with each other for the
nomination and so far the latter lias
shown no disposition ,to enter the fray
at all. But a contest between Grissom
iind Meekins is an altogether different
matter and one that would open up all
sort of interesting possibilities ns both
men are( veterans nt tlie game of poli
tic-, have no particular affection for
eaeli other and have no hesitation at
hitting hard and often.
Mr. Grissom's announcement that
"Barkis is willing" may be personal
ambition or it may be an unwillingness
to see Ike Meekins the standard hearer,
but the collector made it clear that
whoever is the candidate he will insist
upon a real campaign.
"It,, will not do to have a brilliant
campaign with the expectation of losing
and I have already written Colonel
Meekins that." said Mr. Grissom yes
terday.
"Twenty-four hours a day on the
job, suspension of everything that is
not! absolutely necessary for one year,
reorganization of State government
with an executive council, with one
specialist for each department to super
sede all boards and commissions and
sinking funds to meet all bond issues,"
were some of the things that Mr.' Gris
som stated yesterday he would stand
for if nominated.
, "I have read none of them but have
saved them all for future reference" was
the comment of the collector and pos
sible candidate on recent discussions
concerning the State's finances.

f NORTH CARO|jNA WONDER
Crops Are Magnttcent and Every Avail
able Acre Is Being Worked, Bays Mr.
Parker.
Raleigh, N. C.. July 30.—" North Car
olina is a wonder. Anyone who doubt a
t 'is should go east where crops arc mag
nificent and, practically every available
a nv is being worked." Frank Parker,
Agricultural Statistician for North Car
ol mi who has returned from an open
in' tnp over much of the stale, declared
in a statement issued here tonight.
“The cotton crop is d-iiirt remarkably
well," said Mr. Parker. "The dry period
prior to July resulted -in a stocky
growth, and started early fruiting, con
sequently plants are full of squares and
healthful growth. ‘Stands are generally
good and cultivation excellent. The in
creased quantity and quality of fertiliz
ers used this year are quite noticeable in
the color and growth. The boll weevil
is disappointing the entomologist spe
eialists by their uneven activities. Mr.
Mabec at Dunn expresses disappoint
ment in that his tests were in fields
where few boll weevils appeared, and
that often times where a field was heav
ily infested the surrounding fields might
tie free. Mr. Lieby at Aberdeen also
states that the infestation is quite spot
ted auil the field results difficult to ana
lyze. It is handicapping the investiga
tions. a sresults will be somewhat diffi
cult to interpret. The sum and sub
stance of the whole situation is. howev
er. that the farmer is getting the best
of tlie deal, unless expected changes
soon occur. The specialists feel that
entirely too little preparation is being
made for combatting tlie Weevil. 'lt ap
pears that the farmer will not take this
terrible, pest seriously until lie is ac
tually overwhelmed and calling for help
"The corn crop is also looking quite
good, with vigorous growth, the stalks
are fairly low and with tlie roots deeply
embedded ill the soil are in condition to
feed the developing ears to a maximum
degree. The dark ‘ green color is par
ticularly interesting to look at. both by
the casual observer, and the farmer him
self. The croft is much freer from
grass than usual, and this is a source
of pleasure to all^concerned.
"Farm work is fairly well ‘up,’ ex
cepting in a feyv. areas where the recent
rains have kept the - cultivators out of
the fields since the new grass has start
ed.” Mr. Barker said lie mfftle field
counts in most of lii> travels and he
said lie yvas interested to note that the
number of corn fiellds exceed any other
crop. He observed that the idle fields
an- very feyv in the Eastern counties,
yvhille in the Piedmont they were num
erous, especially so in the central coun
ties. "One banker iu Montgomery coun
ty stated that the farmers Would go out
«f business in three more years if they
continued like the past three years have
been," Mr. Parker said, "and from the
number of idle fields in that tirea this
would appear to have a basis.
"The tobacco crop is very promising.
The stands in the eastern and southern
counties are good, while in the more
northern counties irregular stands are
observed. Priming is getting under' yy-aj;
.rapidity in the east and southeastern
counties. Tlie tAins were bothering
Some, but the past week's favorabU
weather conditions are calculated to af
ford much in-ogress.
"The Eastern part of the state was
heavily damaged by severe rains a year
ago. while this year the sarag area that
seemed then to be hurt most has excel
lent crops. The farmers generally re
marked that they have the best crops
that they bail seen for many years."
For two hundred miles of the trip, W,
F. Callander. Chief! of the Division of
Crop and Live S’n(*k Estimates. Feder
al Department of Agriculture, accom
panied Mr. Parker.
"The opinion of this farm economic
specialist," said Mr. Parker, "yvas that
lie did not dream of finding such good
crop conditions as were found on this
his first trip to North Carolilna.
“A good many fields with coyy peas
mid soy beans for hay yvere noticed
yvhile a reduced number of fields yvith
these crops iutcrpUanted yvith corn
yvere noted. It is not expected that the
hay acreage will equal last year's crop,
for the simple reason that then yvith
the heavy ruin fall, it yvas found neces
sary to plant hay crops and to harvest
others for hay instead of planting them
as first intended.”
SEEKS IMPROVED WAY
TO MANUFACTURE IRON
Experimrnt Declared to Be l uique in the
Field of Industrial Research.
Washington, July 30.—The United
States government is noyv making iron,
but ouly as an experiment and not for
the commercial field. Its blast furn
ace is located at Minneapolis and is op
erated as a laboratory by the Bureau of
Mines in co-operation with the Univer
sity of Minnesota. After four years oi
experimentation to develop it. the furn
ace recently produced several tons of
gray iron and spiejjeleiscn.
This type of experiment is declared
unique in the field of industrial research,
as blast furnaces are not included usual
ly in laboratory equipment. Rut with
the demonstration showing every phase
of the operation of_ iron making under
complete technical control, it is believed
the investigators at the Minneapolis
station are in a position to undertake
the study of various problems, the so
lution of wlyeli would be of great prac
tical value to blast tfqrnace operators.
Tlie furnace was' operated first as a
s!ngging-type gas producer until it had
reached a steady state thermally and
Chemically. Iron ore yvithout the ad
dition or a ttux then yvas introduced,
' and its decent by means of gas samples
taken at various stntidns. When the
effect of this charge had been dissipated,
more ore was cliargW without Ume
stbne, and other sets of saniples yvere
taken. , '?
The purpose is to obtain a eonipari
soi of the gas composition at various
planes of the furnace. Various sizes of
ore also yvere used.: The reduction of
the ore at the stockline was fount) to
be greater with smaller sized ore. as in
dicated by higher Carbon dioxide.
One of the most important problems
tlfut will be worked out with the ex
perimental furnace will be that of find
ing a means of extracting irott'tfrbm; the

Love—The Only Thing That Matters /
Better Living.
Even people who are not known a»
beater goers or are not particularly in
ereated in dramatic productions know
if David Belasco, the distinguished
Vmerican playwright. His marked lit
,'riiry ability anl hls'teverend and deeply
eligious character have endeared him
"n thousands who know of him. . We
ire indebted to Mr. Belasco himself for
he splendid report of his address which
he made in celebrating his fortieth year
is a play producer. His address on
•Love—the Greatest Thing in th#
World" was a marked one and it does
lot suffer at all in comparison with the
-ssay by Henry Drummond on the same
mbject.
"In all these years it stands to reason
hat I must have learned something, and
t is this—it took years to learn it, and
t takes but a moment to say it: Love
s jhe only thing that matters, the one
liing that counts.
"‘lt is the only thing that tells in
he long run; nothing else endures to
he end."
“Love tells the whole story; love
milt my little theatre; 'love puts on my
days; love" guides my characters, and
i glow of love for your society and its
riCnds brings me here tonight in ans
•ver to the glow of affectionate kindness
n the hearts of your members and'oth
ers which prompted this touching tri
nite.
"Out of the depths of my experience
(■ can say that the longer I live the
nore 1 despise the so-called material
hings and the more I see that love is
he really big thing, tile important etern
if thing.
“Another thing 1 nave learned in my
■xporience in New York and if has
trown to be my creed: I believe that
iod made us to work. I believe that
Be meant that we should earn our liv
ng by tlie sweat of our brows. But I
lelieve that He made us, to love our
work so much that we knight play at
t; find real arid profound pleasure in
t. and so labor on until, tired out, we
might sleep like little children at the end
if each day.
“And I believe that the lust sleep is
inly the end of another,day, and there
•vill be a tomorrow—to work again and
o play again and to love again.
“Every day that dawns, I find greater
ileasure in my life in the theatre. The
nan who does not love his work—who
inds no pleasure in it—who cannot toil
it it till he drops—is a slave.
"But. |o go on with our work, we all
iced loving encouragement, recognition.
It is a great thing.
"Encouragement we all long for.
N'eed I say how much encouragement
■ our kindly tribute tonight has given to
ne?
“We are all human.
“We |ief the child, and when it grows
ip we must not forget it and leave it to
its fate, for it still needs love and teud
•rness and patience and encouragement
o overcome the life storms, hardships
ind terrible disappointments. It must
scratch its way through miles of moun
ains until it sees the light.
"In my experience in the theatre, the
lianges that have come about are almost
liconceivable.
“I marvel at the daily difficulties over
come. only to find increasing difficulties
•lowly arisen—until sometimes, like a
'ting of old. I say: ‘O laird, remember
David and all his afflictions.’
“ ‘I think I love and reverence all arts
•qual.' our own dear Charlotte Cush
man used to say. 'only putting my own
lust a little above the others; bees use in
t I recognize the union and culmination
if them all, To me it seems as if when
'iod conceived the world, that was po
■try; He formed it, and that was sculp
lire: He colored it.'and that was puint
ng; HP' peopled it with living beings,
md that was the grand, divine eternal
Irama.'
"If the leaders of tomorrow will only
bring love to their work and deal with
‘ruths—and only truths—our art in
\inerica will yet bear the torch and lead
Vlie way.
"The curse of our time's is the .vast
may of people who care nothing for
heir work—who labor solely for money.
Vo one can do this and succeed.
“This is felt by all artists, scientists
■ind .men and women in the business
world; so the best we can do is to take
i fresh viewpoint of old matters*
“Now, in the theatre, we call this
treatment', and 'treatment' perfdrms
miracles.
“Love in the theatre its taken very
seriously. There is a certain element
which is greatly to be desired in a
nlay—we call that element 'heart-inter
>at.’
"Tlie appeal of love Is out only nec
“ssary to the drama—it is the keynote
if all arts, of all science, of all business.
It’ is the foundation, the mortar, the
bricks, the beams and the thing itself,.
"Even the hard-fisted financier has
been made today to recognize its value —
the very dust in the street knows it.
"Why was John, the beloved dissiple
—beloved above all others? Because
he bore a love message,
“Nothing in the world is so tremen
dous as a thought; and a love thought
is overwhelming.
“It was a love thought that my darl
ing mother sent to me on the day she
'eft this world. * * She was in San
Francisco —and this thought wakened
me from a dream iu New York and was
so vivid that I saw her: and that
thought was and glorified.
“Rome one asked'' Queen V.ietoria to
write her favorite text in the Bible: she
wrote: 'Love nev.w fuiletli. * * Love
suffereth long and is kind. To which
I add: ‘Many waters eannot <iuen<'h
love, neither can the floods drown it. If
tl <mun would give all the substance of
his house for loVe it wonl.l be utterly
contemned.'
"I have an indexed Bjlile on rar desk,
which I very often consult and T find'a
great space given to the world ‘Love.’
"There, is another love besides the love
of work—one -which Inspires work.
“This love every man in the room has
dejt for some woman—let l no man deny
itr-» and it has been the great incentive
—the great incentive to his success in
business or his artistic career.
He - may not realise it now—he may
think be has gut beyond-the sentimental
stage of.life; but the fact •remains' that
love for woman, wife, mother or sweet
heart, is the basis of endeavor. How
often is the picture painted because of
the enthusiasms aroused by the love of a
■waric*sn ,u tUr ° p,Bßfd °f *° tbe
the Tree Top,’ and the singer of that *
song carries us to helpless children ovay
the first- years of our lives until we are
grown and strong: and then' we hear ’
the call'again and this time it 1h a girl's 1
voice; and the singer of that song en- 1
coifrages us and cares for us and helps -
us over the hard road; and in time we 1
hear the song again in our homes; 1
■Roek-a-bye, Baby, on the Tree Top.’
But it is for our children the voice is
singing now.
"And so over and over again the di
vine story goes on! All that we are—
all that we-would be—we owe to women.
In the home, in the office, in public
life—everywhere. We must—we should
—we do pay tribute to them.
“As I stand here * * * all the teem
ing memories of the past come surging
back and I seem to see among you many
a friend and comrade of other days,
whose names have long been written in
the book of death: John McCullough,
Edwin Booth, Lawrence Barrett, the
Wallaeks, Augustin Daly, Richard Mans
field, Billy Florence, Charlotte Cush
man, Adelaide Neilson, Ada Rehan,
Henry Irving and Helena Modjeska.
"1 can scarce credit' that it is I who
am here: that all the strange, eventful
experiences of my life actually have be
fallen me!
“And now—a thousand affectionate
thanks! A thousand times my grati
tude.
“Dear friends: it is not likeic that we
shall tieet again—not all of us. No
that is impossible!
'Ships that pass in the night, and speak
each other in passing,
Only a signal shown and a distant voice
in the darkness:
So on the ocean of life we pass and speak
one another,
Only a look and a voice, then 'darkness
again and a silence’."

"The president's tour." Mr. Libby
said, “has convinced leaders in the move

the people want some action on the
World Court during the coming session
of Congress, and do not want the ques

several years."
According to the plans announced dem

“Candidate," is originally a Latin word
which means “white.” With the ancient
Romans, at election time, those who were
miming for office wore a "toga Candi
da.” a white mantle, emblem of the pur
ity of their political intestions. A herald
announced to the voters gathered in the
forum: "tua res agitur" ((your interests
. are to be attended to!") aud then the
tribunes took each candidate by 'the
hand and led him around, presenting him
to the crowd.

AMERICA’S : ONLY BI BBER
PLANT GROWS ijk TEXAS
Rubber Producing Plant Found in Big
Bend Cnuatry of Tens and Mexico.
Alpine, Tbxns, July 28A— I The only
rubber producing plant known to grow
uncultivated in North .America is found
in the Big Bend country of bqth Texas
and Mexico, along the border, and the
only factory in the United' States equip
ped to make rubber from the raw latax is
in Brewster county,. Texas. A factory
was established at Marathon about 15
years ago.-but for the past several years
has been .idle.
The plant from which rubber may be
made is the Gnayule, and grows abund
antly in this section of the 'country.
Large quantities have been destroyed
by "prairie fires and neglect, but much
continues to grow without attention. Ap
parently it will thrive in rock barren
soil where nothing else will sprout.
The Guayule has no resemblance to
the rubber trees amp plauts of tropical
countries. It grows in the form of a
small bush or shrub and when mature is
about four feet high, resembling slightly
the Texas greasewood bush. Its leaves
are small, tough looking, and have a
slight similarity to those of other rublicr
producing plants.

If Back Hurts
Begin on Salts
Fltuh Your .Kidneys Occasionally
by Drinking Quarts of
'Good Water
No man or woman can make a mis
take by flushing the kidneys occasion
ally, says a well-known authority. Too
much rich food creates acids which clog
the kidney pores so that they sluggishly
- filter or strain only part of the waste
and poisons from the blood. Then you
get sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver
trouble, nervousness, constipation, dizzi
ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders
often come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment yoti feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage, or at- ,
tended by a sensation of scalding, begin
to drink soft water in quantities; also
get about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a table
spoonfut in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your kid
neys may then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com;
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to help flush clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to activity, also to
help neutralize the acids- in the system
so they no longer cause irritation, thus
often relieving bladder disorders.
J ad Salts is inexpensive and can not
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink, which everyone can
take now and then to help keep the
kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby
often preventing serious kidney compli
cations. By all meaps have your physi
cian examine your kidneys at least
twice a year.
