CALL ATTENTION
TO PAYMENT OF
STATE SALES TAX
Merchants Urged to Send,
In Returns To Prevent
Prosecution
The several hundred merchants in
Martin County and others through
out the biate have had their afffn
tion called recently to that section of
the law requiring the prompt filing
and payment of the sale* tax A- far
a* it could be learned no alleged vio
lations have been reported in this
county, but it was indicated by a
State collector that some few mer
chants have been slow to make prop
er returns promptly. \
According to unofficial reports re
ceived here, certain violations of the
sales tax act have been cited and 1
prosecuted in Forsyth County, but '
very few if any have been reported j
in this section.
The notice, in part, from the State j
Department of Revenue., Raleigh, |
reads as follows:
"Thin notice for tin* purpose of ;
reminding you that if the report is j
not prepared and mailed to the De- j
partment of Revenue at once, the [
commissioner will be forced to pro- j
ceed to assess the penalties as pro
vided by law. It is necessary that
this be given your immediate atten
tion. In order to avoid the imposi
tion of penalties and damages for
failure of making monthly sales tax
lenotts. it is essential that
month's report be prepared and mail
ed within fifteen days after the close
of each month. Direct your mail to
the Department of Revenue, Raleigh.

A Popular Exhibit
1" 'HRY are-fifing away
at the Century of Progreaa
International Exposition in
Chicago. Just push the button
and you get a bank! This is not
as reckless a proceeding as it
sounds, however. It is merely
on- of the manifestations of an
exhibit of the largest manufac
ture in the world of tin cans and
t) allied products ? the Amen

? object of giving away these
h * ia_lo demonstrate before
th ??<?8 of the public exactly how
t:*i <aus are hermetically sealed
a .-i all the wholesome goodness
of the food they contain kept in.
'J it- y are made in the form of a
f.u-.'n tin can with a slot In the
t <p. and are turned out by a clos
ing machine exactly like those
oj rated in a canning factory.
The design on these cansv
sin a c olorful panorama of the
si v line of the Fair against a sil
ver background, and they have
pn.vod so jHjpuiar that there is
a'ways a long line of people wait
ing to push the button which sets
the dosing machine In motion
and d(divers to the pusher a com
I>l id bank. Careful statistics
v nich have been kept show that
more than twenty per cent of all
the people who visit the fair come
to this American Can Company
exhibit.
A Colossal Showing
They come because they are at
tracted by the vast showing of
tit; cans and metal products
colossal gold **???'if--v of Labor and
Commerce^w; " i afntfngs at Its
base representing the harvesting
of fruits and wa food-? and the
careful cultivation of vegetables
of cans are shown in this exhibit
which occupies a space of twenty
by eighty-eight feet in the Gen
eral Exhibits Building.
Thousands of these cans are
gay with the colorful labels of
those who purchase them and put
foods and other products Into
them, and thousands more are
gaily lithographed in all the hues
of the rainbow. The designs and
lithography on these latter cans
reveal the tremendous progress
that has been made in recent
years In decorating*them to make
them attractive to the public, and
much comment Is heard on the
color harmonies of the exhibit,
particularly as viewed from the
West balcony of the building.
Hundreds of Product*
Few people realize how many
products are now supplied to the
public In a safe, clean, wholesome
condition In various forms of tin
containers. These ranee all the
way from clears and clearettes,
metal and shoe polish, motor oils,
paint, pills and proprietary msdl
clnes to razor blades, salves,
snuff, talcum powder, tape, to
bacco, tooth powder, typewriter
ribbons, varnish and wafers.
The foods which are sold In
ereat quantities In cans Include
fifty-seven varieties of veeetables,
forty four varieties of fruits,
thirty varieties of fish and shell
fish, fifty-six specialties, thirty
three varieties of meats, thirty
three soups and several ready
made enUag^*, but there are hun
dreds of otner food products
which are also canned In lesser
quantities.

PLANT COWPEAS
ON IDLE LANDS
Peas Turned Under Will
Furnish Much Nitrogen
To Soil
The cowpea is a good crop to plant
in July on land retired from the cul
tivation of cotton, tobacco, corn, or
wheat, says E. C. Blair, extension
agronomist at State College.
He warned of the poor policy of
allowing the retired acres to grow up
up in weeds, which not only-dctract
from the appearance of the farm, but
also make it harder to cultivate the
next crop grown.
?Weeds add little, if any, to the-sotfa
fertility, but a good growth of cow
peas turned under will furnish as
mueh nitrogen to the soil as 300
pounds of nitrate of soda to the acre,
Blair said.
Cowpeas planted in July will have
time to reach a height of three feet
before frost, he said, >^md will add to
the general fertility ot the soil by sup
plying organic matter as well as
nitrogen.
The latest rules governing land re
tired from the production of basic
crops under AAA contracts permit
the picking of peas from the vines for
table use or the harvesting of the
whole crop for hay, provided it is
used at home and not sold.
In the mid-west the recent dry
weather has caused a shortage in
feed crops this year and the price of
these commodities is expected to be
Unusually higk ihit. fall. Blair warn
ed that no Carolina farmer should
fail to produce enough feed for bis
own use and thereby have to pay
i the high market prices for feed.
Apples Should Be
Sprayed August First
The last spray fur the control of
codling moth, sooty blotch and bitter
rot in apples should be made about
|the first of August and should con
sist of one and one-half pounds of
lead arsenate to SO gallons of Bor
deaux mixture (2-4-50' formula). This
spray should not be applied to early
yples as it is apt to leave a residue
Wat would prohibit interstate ship
ments.
The best farming and growing sea
?on in ycara it reported by farmera
of Alleghany County who say they
will produce the biggest crop of Irish
potatoes in fire year*.

Austrian Winter Pens
Suggested For Fall
Though all three of the winter
rowing legumes commonly planted
i North Carolina each fall are nearly
qual in value for forage and soil im
rovement, it appears that this ?a
ear to plant heavily for Austrian
nnter peas.
"My reason for making this sug
;est:on is that the seed of the Aus
rian pea is comparatively low in
rice as compared with crimson clov
r and vetch," say* Enos C. Blair,
xtension agronomist at State Col
tge. "Field demonstrations show
fiat when other things are equal,
rimson clover, vetch and Austrian
renter peas make about the same
ield of hay. They also give about
fie same increase in soil fertility
rhen turned under; but, for some
reason crimson clover seed and vetch
seed are high in prce this season and
if the winter peas may be purchased
at a less price there is no good rea
son why they may not be substituted
I for vetch and clover."
4
Blair says the price of crimson
Vlover seed is nearly three times and
the price of vetch seed is over twice
that being asked for Austrian winter
peas. Assuming that 20 pounds of
either clover or vetch or 30 pounds of
Austrian peas is the right amount to
ioi on one acre of land, the cost of
seeding the vetch is 50 per cent more
than for the peas and the cost of
seeding crimson clover is about 200
per cent more.
He suggests that all growers plan
ning to sow a winter cover crop this
fall, investigate the possibility of
planting the Austrian peas.
