From Robersonville Judge Calvin Smith was here yes terday afternoon from Robersonville SEED VITALITY OF WEEDS FOUND TO BE AMAZING Show Life After Having Been Buried in Ground For 30 Years The unusual ability of some weed seeds to retain their vitality after ly ing buried for many years, has been demonstrated again by scientists of the U. S. Department "of Agriculture, who recently dug up seeds buried JO years ago and planted them. With in two days after the seeds were taken from the "burial plot," wild morning glories had sprduted and within a few days other weeds were growing sturdi ly. ** This experiment, begun in 1902 to how long weeds and other seeds would remain alive in the soil, shows rather plainly, the department says, that farmers can not hope to kill weed seeds by plowing them tin der. Apparently the weed seeds are able to remain in the ground many years and whenever they are brought near the surface will grow. The test indicates that to destroy some weeds farmers must plow them under before they mature seed, not after. When the experiment began in 1902, 112 sets of seeds were buried in pots filled with soil at the Arlington Ex periment Farm at Rosslyn, Va. Most of the weed seeds were gathered near the farm. TheGeeds were buried at three differnt depths, 8 inches, 22 inches, and 41 inches. Different sets of the seeds have been dug up at in terval* since then, the last previous to this year's in 1923. At that time 51 of the seed varieties germinated when planted. This time the number thai grew was 35. The present plan is to dig up the seeds from time to time, probably at 10-year intervals, to see just how long the seeds can remain in the ground and still £row. Only three domesticated plants are among the 35 Jrinds of seeds which grew this time. These are clover, to bacco and celery. The rest are weeds. "This greater vitality shown by weed seed is not surprising, bceause weeds must have more vitality than domestic plant* in order to survive, as the lat ter usually are kept carefully from one *ea*on to the next," says Dr. E. H. Toole, physiologist in the division of •eed investigation of the department. "The experiment indicates that nature, as a protective device, develop* extra | vitality in seed* of plants that grow, wild, *o that i! some calamity should destroy the seed crop for one year, there would alway* be other seeds in the soil which would eventually grow and replenish the vegetative covering, That's That FINDS CAUSE FOR DISEASE SPREAD AMONG CHICKS Explains How Diarrhea Is Distributed To Young Chickens For years, poultrytnen at the North Carolina Experiment Station have known that the dread bacillary white, diarrhea disease which kills baby chicks by the thousands in the State each year was spread from carrier birds to lie native birds in &ome way. However, it was not known definitely haw the spread occurred. Recently R. K. (ireaves, who works in the,, poultry disease laboratory at State College, has found the reason for the spread. The germs of the disease are present in the dropping!) of infected adult birds and the healthy chickens pick up these germs and in turn distribute them further among other birds. This knowledge, says R, S, l)ear styne, head of the poultry department closes the last remaining nap-existing I in the knowledge of the spread of the trouble. Dearstyne says Greaves has examined the fetal specimens from 4(H) birds and in two very definite in stances, he found the organisms of, the bacillary white diarrhea disease. I These droppings came from birds J known to be carriers of the disease thus maintaining the richness of the' soil and preventing erosion. "A surprising thing in connection* with this experiment was the rapidity with which some of the weed seeds germinated. For instance, although they had been lying dormant for 30 years, the wild morning glories sprout ed within two days. Within eight days 15 more species were growing. The lesson for farmers is that as a rfile Weeds can not be exterminated by bury ing the seeds. "Crop plants showed poor resistance to burial. Seeds of barley, wheat, corn, buckwheat,ffla t cotton, and oats were all buried at the time the weeds were but none of them has ever sprouted. These seeds, however, will live several years if kept dry." I SUMMER TIME IS There is no summer dessert that can surpass ice cream, and there is no ice cream that can surpass MAOLA—Ask for Maola F.

The larger hatcheries of the State are getting their hatching eggs from disease-free flocks certified by the poultry department and the State Veterinarian's office. Where such eggs are obtained the death rate of young chicks has dropped from about 30 per cent to about 4 percent and the vigor and production of the resulting flocks have been greatly increased.
