rges Growers to Look
lut for New Varieties
There is a certain amount of
ance as well as skill in the dis-
very and development of superior
rveties of fruit trees, said M, E.
irdner, extension horticulturist at
ate Gollege.
Every now and then a chance
edling is found that is superior
many of the standard varieties,
ich discoveries are valuable itr the
velopnient of the fruit industry,
irdner added.
Not long ago, he continued, a
cDowell 'county farmer discover-
,a red seedling apple which
atures in the foothills around
ly 1. The farmer 'has been of-
red an attractive sum by a large
,rsery company for the sok right
propagate this S'cedling.
The other day, Gardner received
seedling from Lumberton that
ves promise of producing high
lality fruit and yielding large
ops every year.
Gardner iirges all growers to in
stigate their trees and seedlings,
they find what appears to be a
fferent variety that has good
issibilities, they may be «ble to
11 it for a good price.
The horticultural department at
ate college and the county farm
ents over the state are glad to
sist any grower, in determining
e possible commercial value of
lance seedlings found over the state.

October 1 Final Date
For Conserving Crops
All soil-conserving crops to be
counted in the 1936 soil-impro.ve-
ment program in North Carolina
must be planted by October 1.
Conserving crops plant-ed after that
date cannot be used to increase the
amount of payments a farmer is
allowed to earn, said H. A. Patten,
state compliance supervisor at State
college.
A number of farmers have re
duced their acreage of soil deplet
ing crops and carried out soil-build
ing practices., but have not planted
enough conserving crops to qualify
them for the full amount of the
payments they have earned, Patten
added.
Eagh acre of conserving crops
Qualifies the farm on which they
are grown to $1 in soil-building or
diversion payments.
If a farmer has diverted enough
depleting crops to earn. $25 and has
conducted enough soil-building prac
tices to earn $25 he must have 50
acres in conserving crops to qual
ify for the $50 he has earned.
Patten pointed out that there is
an exception to the regulation lim
iting payments to $1 for each acre
of soil-conserving crops.
The minimum payment a grower
will be allowed to earn is at least
$10, no matter how small the farm
and regardless of the acreage of
soil-conserving _crops grown, if the
plantings of soil-depleting crops
have not been greater than the base
acreage. "
The payment will be made for
carrying out soil-building practices
and for the diversion of land from
soil-depleting to soil-conserving
crops.
THE FANII.Y
.DOCTOR
JOHN JOSEPH GAINESiMJS
WORK EARLY AND FAST
WITH PNEUMONIA
With all the progress in the
science of medicine, we are forced
to admit that the mortality rate in
the terrible disease, pneumonia, still
continues high; a specific has not
yet been discovered. So few com-
monsense observations are never
out of , place.
The beginning of acute lobar
pneumonia is almost invariably
with a pronounced chill. It is at
this time that an heroic attempt
should be made to abort the dis
ease. The effectul battle must be
waged early—for it docs not take
long to 'be too late. Call your phy
sician early. Better be safe than
sorry; a few visits by a capaible
doctor are many times cheaper than
a funeral.
Meet the fever following the chill
with medicines which produce pro
fuse sweating; literally “soak” the
victim in perspiration. This re
duces congestion of the lung by
bringing the blood to the surface.
Administer a good laxative as well;
1 tell my patient to drink all the
water he can hold; the juice of
four lemons in the first eighteen
hours, is a good accompaniment.
A big mustard plaster over the
chest, at this stage, has earned its
distinction for usefulness; later it
is too late. 1 am s‘ure 1 have ab
orted many cases of pneumonia by
the vigorous steps mentio.ned. Once
the disease is established, your
management and outlook are con-
j.ectural.
I care not what moralists may
say, il have found the alcoholic
stimulants of great value in the
profound weakness of pneumonia,
combined with nou-rishment, espe
cially in aged cases. But the vic
tory is more certain if we attack
before the disease is established.
U. S. ELECTORAL
flANEXPLAlie
Voters Cast Biallot For
Elec-torg, Not For
Preaident
(Special to the Press-Maconian)
WASHINGTON, Sept 23.-
Newspaper corresi>ondents m Wash
ington are being flooded with let
ters asking questions about tbe
prcsiciciiticil election.
One of the most frequent ques-
tions asked by voters writing to
Washington is how it is possible
for a President to. be ekcted by
less than a majority vote. Another
question is whether it might be
possible for a Ra.ubhgan President
anti a Deinqcratic Vice-1 lesident,
or vice-versa, to be elected.
In National Election
What most of these inquirers do
not quite understand is that nobody
votes directly for either Presiden
or Vice-President. Presidents and
Vice-Presidents are not elected by
the people; they are elected by
the stites, under the Constitution,
In each state the oM0S.ing parties
nominate presidential electors, and
on' Election Pay the people will
vote not for Roosevelt and Gar,ne>
or Landon and Knox, but for the
presidential electors nominated by
their respective parties. The number
of electors in each state
same as the number ° . Senators
and Representatives which that
state has in Congress.
It is this system of voting by
gtates for President and Vice-Presi
dent instead of by direct ppla
for the candidates that made
't nnssible for ten Presidents to
bg eieGied wha had f^wer than a
m noritv of the popular vote, .
Sample, Mr. Cleveland, m
18K4- carried many states by very
tat . his »»)o«
of the popular vote m New York
State was less than 2,000, so^ that
Although this gave him a mapn y
of the presidential electois, he had
a minority of the nations popular
vote. The same
when Mr. Wilson was elected Pres
ident in 1912. In that year, how
ever, the electoral vote was split
between three candidates. Mr. Taft
and Col. Roosevelt between them
had more popular votes than Mr.
Wilson had but Mr. Wilson got
the majority of the electoral votes.
Th« Electoral Vote
A, question frequently asked is
whether electors chosen on the Re
publican ticket could vote for the
Democratic candidates. The answer
is that there is nothing whatever
in the law to prevent them from
doing so. They are free agents,
chosen by the people of their state
to vote for the candidate for Pres
ident and Vice-Presid.ent.
On November 3, ,as a matter of
legal fact, nobody will be elected
President. Only presidential electors
will be chosen, varying in number
from New York’s 47 to the three
each of Arizona, Nevada and Wyo
ming.
The actual election of President
and Vice-President takes place
when the. electors, chosen on No
vember 3, have met and cast their
ballots. The Constitution requires
the electors to meet in their several
states and declare their choice for
President and Vice-President, and
the nurnber of electoral votes which
they give to each candidate.i They
must then sign, certify and trans
mit their ballot, sealed, to the Pres
ident of the Senate, who then, in
the presence of the Senate and
the House of Repres'entatives opens
these -sealed envelopes and counts
the electoral voteS from all the
states.. The President of the Senate,
who is the Vice-President holding
over from the preceding administra
tion, then declares who has been
elected Pj^esident and Vice-Presi-
defit for the next four years.
In Cpise lof Tie Viote%
Another question often aiked is
what would happen if the vote
should be a tie, or neither candi
date had a majority of the electoral
votes. In that case, the House of
Representatives would have to *lect
the President.
One of the reasons why the latest
amendment to the Constitiution pro
vides that the new Congress to be
elected November 3 shall take of
fice on January 3, while the new
President does not go in until Jan
uary 20, is that in case of a tie in
the presidential vote it will be the
new Congress and not the old one
which would elect the new Presi
dent.
The House of Representatives is
limited in its choice, in such a
case, to the candidates for whom
electoral votes of states have been
cast, but it is not bound in any
way by the size of the popular
vote of any candidate.
Only once has the election of a
President been thrown into the
House af Representa-tives. That was
in 1876, when Samuel J. Tilden,
Democrat, of New York, ran against
Rutherford B. Hayes of Ohio. On
the face of the returns, Mr. Tilden
appeared to be elected, but charges
of fraud in the Democratic vote in
Louisiana were made and the Re
publicans contended that the Demo
cratic electors of Louisiana had ,not
actually re'ceived a plurality of the
popular vote,
The House of Representatives ap
pointed an electoral commission to
investigate and advise the House,
The commission reported that the
Democratic Electors of Louisiana
had not been properly elected. The
House adopted the report of the
electoral commission and gave the
Presidency to General Hayes.
How Tie Coulld Develop
A tie vote of presidential electors
is impossible unless !Mr. Lemke or
some other third-party candidate
should receive an odd number of
electoral votes, since the total num
ber of electors to be chosen No
vember 3 is 531. In the event of a
tie tlve House of Representatives
to be elected on November 3 will
have the say. A shift in 115 Con
gressional Districts from the pres
ent set-up would be necessary to
give a Republican majority.
There will be no change in the
party majority of the Senate, this
year, no matter how the election
goes. Senators are elected for six
years and there are 51 Democrats
whose terms run for from two to
four years longer, more than a ma
jority of tbe 96 members of the
Senate.
