I LAVE FARM NEWS FROM THE
COUNTY AGENTS.
*' Hendersoqyille, N. C., March 6.
(A>) —Boys and girls junior agriculutr
al clubs were organized last week at
Mount Vernon, Tuxedo, Hills River
and Yale, in Henderson county. In
these communities, 53 young people
were enrolled, in the clutw. This
makes a total of 195 boys and girls
now members of the agricultural clubs
of the county.
The assistant county agent, E. D.
Cody, has visited a number of the
, homes of these young people, to se
cure the co-operation and encourage
ment of the parents in the club ac
tivities.

Gastonia, N. C., March C.—( —
Farmers in Gaston county are now
studying the proper management of
1 their farm woodlots, and are enthns-
I iastic over plans discussed at recent
i meetings held in the county.
1 Forty-one persons attended meet
ings held last week at whieh R. W.
Graeber. extension forestry specialist.

trees and otherwise handle the farm
1 porcstry problem. A number of farm

From a flock of 160 pure bred Rhode
Island Red hens, a Mr. Washburn,
of Cleveland county, has been receiv
ing only about 85 to 91 eggs a day.

1 Thirty hens were removed. These
[ were kept under abservation for three
i days, and produced a total of only
one egg. The very next day after the
I culling. Mr. Washburn received 95
i eggs from the remaining 130 birds ! n
| the flock.
He sold his cull hens for 23 cents
per pound, received an average of
\ $1.40 each for them. He is now a
i firm believer in the value of culling,
| the county agent states.
i Spraying Apple Trees.
\ Jefferson, N. C., March 0.—04*l
W. 1,. Dent, of Jefferson, bought a
power spray pump last week and will
use it to thoroughly spray his apple

i Mr. Dent also expects to fertilize his
1 orchard this year.
| • AGAIN THE WOMAN PAYS
Winston-Salem Sentinel.
"Let him who is without sin cast
the first stone.”
The Countess of Catncart, the pret-
I ty and attractive woman of foreign
birth who startled British nobility a
i few years ago by her escapade with
| the Earl of Craven, is now spending
I I a few days at Ellis Island, pending
the outcome of the hearing before the
5 immigration authorities, who will de
_ cide if she should be allowed to enter
this country.
J' The countess arrived here a few
i days ago and admitted to the authori
| ties that she had been guilty of a
crime involving moral terpitude. Im
[ mediately the constituted authorities
i proceeded to banish her from the land.
I But they had forgotten about the
i Earl of Craven, the scion of a noble
i family who has also violated the same
| laws by his association with the
I I Countess, yet the Earl was allowed
ji to come to this country last Novem
' ber and enjoy the frivolities of the
i day. The authorities did not, at
i that time, question the “splendid
| character” of the Earl. He took up
]i his abode iu an exclusive section of
New York.
[i Women of this country and abroad,
1 when they learned of the predica
ment of the Countess, immediately
U filed thousands of messages in protest
. against the action of the authorities
in holding up the Countess. They
demanded that "the man also pay.”
8p strong were the protests mat the
Earl disappeared. The women of
America had struck ahd the man of
royal blood took to his he-ls for a
foreign shore. Before leaving, it is
said, he too admitted his delinquency,
but not until the Countess was held
up by the authorities.
Thousands of people, no doubt, are
rebuking the Countess for her con
duct and she should be barred from I
the country. But the Earl of Craven
is also guilty. Why condemn the
woman and let the man go free as if
he were “as pure as snow?"
It seems to be human nature for
a man to be able to "come back” re
gardless of how deep into the mire
he has been—but when a woman once
steps beyond the line she is forever;
banished from society—and pays the
bill.
It is the same old story of "The'
Woman Pays” and those who are
ready to send her to the bottomless
pit aTe those who have never been
taught the meaning of the words of
the Good Book:
“He that is without sin among you, I
let him first cast a stone at ber.” '
If the woman pays, so should the
man.

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
TO PLANT PECAN TREES |,
Drive to Begin Monday.—To Plant
, One Million Trees.
Raleigh, N. C., March (I.—OP) —The!
drive for the plant’ng of a million pe-|
can trees iu North Carolina will be-1
gin on Monday. Nine couuties have
already gone “over the top" in this
drive, it is announced.
H. Nl. Curran, forester of the State
Department of Agriculture, which is j
co-operating in this intensive cam
paign, today announced that a large'
number of agricultural leaders had
endorsed the movement. He also an- -
nouneed a number of prizes offered.
The campaign, opening ou March 8,
will continue through Saturday,
March 13th.
Forester Curran reported today
that D. M. Swink, of Swan Quarter,
is planting a 300-acre pecan orchard.
The Pecan Growers’ Society is fur
nishing him with about 1,500 trees for
immediate planting.
“Mr. Swink first proposed planting
in 1927." said Mr. Curran, "but rear
ranged his plans so as to give Hyde
county active participation in pecan
planting week activities. This is the
largest single planting to be umlertafl
>n ns a result of the Pecan Growers
Society. Hyde county is one of the
best places in the State for pecan cul
ture and is to be congratulated.
“Prizes for the best planting rec
ords, ns offered through the office of
the Pecan Growers' Society, are as
follows:
“By Dr. Clarence Poe. editor of the
Progressive Farmer: one set of five
books known as the i‘regressive Farm
er’s Little Farm Library—to the
schools in each county (vocational
schools executed) making the best
record.
“By the American Tree Association :
Nature Magazine for one year—to
the vocational schools in each county
making the best record.
“By the American Nut Journal:
Stuckey’s Pecan Book—to the county
agent in each county making the best
record.
“By Dr. Charles Lathrop Pack:
One of his books. “Trees As Good Cit
izens’—to the home demonstration
agent iu each county making the best
record.
“The movement,” said Mr. Curan,
“is not a commercial one. in the sense
that those backing it will make money
out of it." It is to help the people
realize more money. In fact, pecans
can and will pay your taxes if you
will let them.
The following agricultural leaders
have indorsed the movement, said
Mr. Curran: W. A. Graham, com
missioner of agriculture : I. O. Schaub,
dean of agriculture at State College:
C. D. Mathews, chairman of the de
partment of horticulture at State
Colelgp; Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon, an
ass ; stant director, coneeted with State
College; and O. F. McCrary, district
agent.

The Truth Revealed.
The Pathfinder.
An actress who has seen better
days is now touring the country ad
vertising her perennial beauty and
(incidentally, of course) her various
beauty preparations. She is over 60
but those who don’t get too close to
her say she looks as if she might be
16, more or less. Anyway, in Pitts
burgh recently this "Venus de Gar
bo” gave a demonstration at a
theater “for women only.”
One of the stunts the actress
does is to take a “bath” in full
view of her feminine audience, ex
plaining how she steps into the tub,
bow she sits down and all the many
details of performing what iu with
some people a rnre and special
function. Everything was coming off
nicely and the audience was very at
tentive as the young old lady glided
flapperishly into the . porcelain re
ceptacle. But she must have done
something that wasn't just right, for
two stylishly dressed "women” in
the balcony let out terrible guffnws
that could be heard all over the
house.
Policewomen on duty promptly
located the pair of "women” and
found that they were horrid men 'in
disguise who had cheated their way
int<v the theater. They were placed
under arrest and taken to the police
station. It 'urned out that they were
both students of a local university
out on a frolic. Their arrest didn't
seem to bother them nny. In fact
they were very much amused about
something. Finally they tohl the
judge: “Well, you got us boys, but
only two. Back there in the theater
arc two other students of the male
IMTSunsion, and we’re here to bet
you they won’t be cauglft."
“I am a strong advocate of re

I Washington. March B.—Resenting
a dispatch concerning himself in the
Boaton Herald, Representative Up
shaw. Democrat,, Georgia, who said
he had been described as a "faker”
became involved in an altercation in
the house today with Robert Choatt,
Washington . correspondent of that
paper, and according to witnesses [
made a lunge at him.
Reports varied ns to whether Mr. ;
Upshaw snapped Mr. Choate’s face \
or grazed him with his crutch, but
ail agreed that the correspondent,
after refusing to retract his dispatch,
stood calmly eyeing the representa
five with his hands in his pockets.
Other house members intervened
and Mr. Upshaw desisted, later as- ’
sorting that he apologiied and would ,
pray for the correspondent.
The dispatch which caused the ;
trouble concerned Mr. Upshaw’s at- ]
taek Thursday in the house on the
wets.
While Mr. Choate declined to com
ment on the incident Mr. Upshaw
said he requested the correspondent
to see him and said:
"Young man, you have published l
a story that I flitted around with- j
out the aid of my crutches when I ,
engaged in an ardent dry argument- i
You know that is not true, that I am
absolutely dependent upon by crutch- ,
es. Unless you publish a retraction I i
.am going to denounce you on the J
floor."
When Mr. Choate said he wished
the representative would denounce
him. Mr. Upshaw said:
"Young man, don’t you realiie
that you have given the impression
that I nm a faker.”
Mr. Choate said he thought Mr.
Upshaw was a "faker,” whereupon j
the representative made his lunge.

Planetary Transmission—
This type of transmission was used in the Ford six- x
cylinder car built in 1907. It was so successful that it was 9
adopted for the Model T Car. The Ford planetary trans- o
mission is the ideal speed control for A light car. It gives X
complete control through foot pedals and leaves the driv- 9
er’s hands free to manipulate the steering wheel. Singe Q
the gears are constantly in mesh, there is no possibility of X
clashing; speed changes are made instantly and noise- 9
i lessly. This transmission costs more to build than the 8
conventional sliding gear type but is used because of its a
superiority. ■* x
