MR. HOOVER URGES PEOPLE TO '
LAY IN WINTER'S SUPPLY NOW '
? Washington, May 11.?Secretary
Hoover today appealed to the nation's *
coal consumers to prevent a coal
shortage by laying in coal supplies i
during the summer. ?
He urged industries to purchase '
their stocks during the slack coal season
to prevent congestion on the rail- <1
roads during the fall, which he said h
would tend to increase coaljgrices and '
~"r~" "create-a shortage.
The appeal was made in a letter t
to the secretary of the National ant' b
Stat* Trade associations in the Unit- ?
ed States. 0
"The Jail car shortage," Secretary a
Hoover said, "always has the effect 4
jg~r of increasing the price ol coal and of
Ba: seriously disturbing the whole econo ,
niic machine. Security lies in repeat- d
ing the storage performance of last ?
year, by the manufacturers of the J
, country taking reserves of coal during
the months of May, June and July,
thus foregoing the necessity of coal t
shipments during, the peak period in '
competition with the household move- '
ment. Outside of strike years, these s
summer months are universally the r
period of lowest bituminous coal 1
prices." ?
County Agent T. B. Bradon recent- f

BOSSY FILLS PAIL

J - Balti^h,-N. "C. Mnf 13 M. A.. Hols- u
houser wfto lives out from Salisbury 0
on the Fakh Road found that when 0
he began to feed soybean hay to his
cows this winter, he had to carry an o
extra milk pail to hold th?additional ?
flow. County Agent W. G. Yeager j
has reported the incident to the v
headquarters of the extension division
at State College and here is-how
it came about,
i ? Mr. Yeager went out to lay off \
some terraces for Mr. Holshouser and '
incidentally told the farm owner that
soybeans would make good hay while |
at the same time the crop would help o
to improve his land and prevent it
frSm washing. The seed was bought
and the incident forgotten as only o
one small matter in the life of a r
County agent. But the hay was grown
and cut. Rain damaged it somewhat
before Mr. Holshouser boys could s
hou*o it bat it was finally gotten in J
piled nway in n corner of the loft and
forgotten.
Last winter, the boys had been b
feeding the mules their regular hay
ration until they got down to t^e
soybean hnj'. ft didn't look pood ?1 ?
they asked Dad what to do with it j
"Oh, feed it to the cows, I- reckon,''
was his reply. They did, because on
many farms, feedstuff net pood enough c
Pfor the work ainmals is put off on the
old milq cow. .
. But here's what happened. Though ?
in the dead of winter with no pastur
to cpeak of, Vie milk flow from th'
E/- six cows began to increase. In a few I
B weeks it wa3 necessary to take more J
fc palls to the ham. In fact, Mr. Hols
houser says that never before did hi a
cows give so much milk .in the winte 8
and he was surprised at the way thflow
continued to hold up.
He finally discovered that his hoy. j
were giving the animals all "the soy c
beas hay that they would eat and s
early this spring he dropped in at th c
Cotmty Agent's office and said, "Scv
oral of us out my way want to buy c
j some fh5?^can seeil this spring." They v
made op n joint order and scod feed-i b

iProductlon of cotton under boll wee
rll conditions Is nothing more or less
han a race between the setting or
tolls on the plant and the multiplication
of the weevils, scientists delare,
and everything possible should
>e done to aid the cotton plants In '
tinning this race.
One of the first steps In furnishing |
his aid la through preparation of the '
oil, A good seed bed Is necessary
0 obtain the best results and It
hould be prepared early so a? to have
1 firm, smooth and well' settled bed
t planting. Experts say that the
mportance of a well prepared seed
>ed can hardly be overestimated.
Llso, unfavorable weather conditions
bortly before planting often prevents
'lowing at that time and early prepration
does away with this risk.
Planting should be delayed until all
laoger of frost Is past and the earth
k warm enough to cause quick
proutlng and a good stand. Farlv
tantlDg Is recommended but It should
e borne in mind that It Is possible
o plant too early so that the plants
ecome stunted during the early days
f their growth.
Plant If possible only selected seed
f an early maturing variety, and of
staple not leas than 7/8 inch, formation

ear?particular locsllly cin?be obtlned
from the county agent or the
tate college of agriculture. It is
c-flnltely proven that Increased yields
forth from Sin tnllo ?" -acre
e obtained by planting selected seed.
>ne bushel or more-should be p(antd
to tho acre.
Cotton rows should be from three
3 four feet apart, according to the
ertllity of the soil, and spacing In
be row should be from eight to
welve Inches with from one to three
talks to the hill. Tests under va^ .
ions conditions hare proved that
hick i-paced cotton matures earltor
nd yields more pounds to the acre
han thin spaced.
The Intelligent use of commercial
srtlllzers Is an Important step In the
rofltable production of cotton. Proprly
used it will both hasten maturity
nd materially increase the yield,
'ontonts and their percentages deend
on local conditions. The county
gent or the agricultural college can

STATE COLLEGE .
SUMMER SCHOOL.
The State College Record giving
detailed information concerning
courses to be offered, members of the
faculty and other information about
the 1984 Summer School, June 10'
July 25, has come from the press and
is being distributed. According to Director
T. E. Browne, study of this
bulletin will serve to correct an erroneous
impression which many people
seem to have secured, namely:?
that only Vocational Courses will be
offered. These courses make up only
a small part of the Summer School
instruction. Courses of College grade
will be given in practically all subjects
taught during the regular session
wherever the number of students
registering for such courses is large
enough to justify the work.
These courses are open to any high
school graduate, or person of equal
qualifications, and may count either
toward college credit, or academicredit
on -certificate. There will -b-r
general professional courses for teachers,
and in addition sp^gjpl method'
courses for High School teachers and
principals. Science teachers, teachers
of industrial arts and industrial education,
and teachers of agriculture.
For the Professional courses in
science-teaching, the Summer Scliou'
is very fortunate in securing Profes
sor Garfield A. Bowden, of tKe University
School, University of Cincinnati,
a _man of large .experience in
teaching and supervising science, in
schools below college grade, as we!'
as an author of books on science for
secondary schools.
Professor Edward W. Boshart, who
?omes to the College from Chicago
University to give the courses in Industrial
Education and Industrial
Arts, has had a.valuabel experience
in this field, as teacher and supervisor,
in some of the best equipped high
schools of the country, especially in
the West Technical-High Sihool, of
Cleveland, Ohio.

Wffl Undo Much Evil
By Dr. V. M. Pierce
KnowingTfce vast" amoufit of lUWr
wrought by diseases of the kidneys, and
having had opportunity to observe the
analyses ar.d the successful methods of
treatment in thousands of cases of kidney
trouble at the Invalids' Hotel, I
have recently given to' the public
latest and perhaps most important of
the Dr. Pierce home remedies, "AnI
Brie" (anti-uric-acid) Tablets, which
I now recommend lu lUisc v.iki suffer
with kidney backache, irregularity of
urination, and the pains and disturbances
that coir.e from excess of uric acid in
the blood.
"An-uric" can bo had new at all the
drug stores. The (mere drinking of a
cup of hot water each morning and a
little l'An-uric" before every meal
should bring remarkably quick improvement.
You may have kidney trouble
and net know it. The danger signals
to be watched for and quickly heeded
are backache, depression, aches, pains,
heaviness, drowsiness, dizziness, irritability,
headaches, chilliness, rheumatic
twinges, swollen joints, gout,
