INDUSTRIAL WATERS ANALYSES TO SERVE STATE DEVELOPMENT Thirty-seven samples of waters from industrial streams of North Carolina now in the hands of Dr. E. K. Randolph, head of the depart ment of chemical engineering of State College, form the first unit of a survey being undertaken by this department to classify the water sup ply for manufacturing purposes ac cording to quality. > Whin the analyses of these sam ples are completed, between 30 and 40 additional, which are being col 'lected under the direction of Thorn dike Saville, Chief Hydraulic Engi neer, will be tested in qualitative analyses for industrial purposes. There are already available sixty four analyses made by the United State Geological Survey and twenty four from industrial divisions of railroads and other sources. These, together with the newer ones will bo combined into a publication which will bo issued this rail. From Chief Source* Thu samples are being taken from the chief industrial sources of water supply and from all of the river drainage basins in the state in order to get representative data regarding this industrial necessity. Every manufacturing enterprise is dependent, to some extent, upon water supply, some being more exact ing in the quality than othesr, while some may require water only for use in boilers. A study of the loca tions selected by industrial plants re veals that water supply is often the . determining factor. From general observations, North Carolina has been known to have water supplies that compare favor ably with any other state in volume and quality requirements, but the data which is now being compiled is designed to furnish authoritative and definite information for use by those seeking industrial locations. To Serve Development Coupled with stream gaging rec ords which tabulate the volume of available water supply, the qualita tive analyses will serve prospective industries with an intelligent and ac curate guide of what this state of fers in line of water resources. Stream gaging has for some time been one of the major activities of the Water Resources Division, and this data is' at the disposal of the public. Seme of the industries that are de ? pendent upon the quality of water are: chemicals; cotton manufactures; druggists' preparations, such as pat ent medicines and compounds, and perfumery and cosmetics; dyeing and finishing textiles, exclusive of that done in textile mills.; knit gooda; leather, tanned, curried and finished; paper and wood pulp; silk manufac tures; wool manufactures, and rayon manufactures.

What is said to bo one of the largest, captures ever lmUte in Tran sylvania county was that of last Monday afternoon when F< tl--r.il Prohibition Officer W. W. Owens, as sisted by Sheriff B. J. Sittun and Rural Policeman Eck Sims and Ar thur Saltz, made a raid on a still on Frozen Creek, two and one-half miles above Kosman, capturing a 60-gallon sheet iron still and mor; than 1000 gallons of beer. Ji..j Morgan and others were operating the still, the officers capturing ana arresting Morgan, 28 years of ag-s who is now held in the county .jail. Other members of the operating party are being sought by the off. cers. i A few days prior to this raid, an other capture was made by l'olice man Freeman and Eck Sims, of an old model Government factory still with copper condenser, 60 gallon ca pacity, reported to have been owned by Wade MrGaha for seven years, the still being located about three miles from Brevard. The McGaha man, according to arresting officers, told of this still lodging on a drift at the niouth of Davidson River dur ing a big rain and wash-out during the world war, seven years ago. This still, the officers say, was of the highest type seen in this section, being copper throughout. It is un derstood that it was later given to W. E. Breese as a souvenir. PLANT SOME LETTUCE FOR WINTER GARDEN i Raleigh, Sept. 21. ? Much of the planti>g for the winter garden should have been done in Aug ust, but there's time yet for some of the shorter growing, cool season crops. "One of the most important of these cool-season crops is lettuce," says E. B. Morrow, extension horti culturist at State College. "Accord ing to nutrition experts, lettuce stands well at the top of all leafy vegetables in Vitamin content and there is no better dish that could be served on the family table in late fall than a head of crisp lettuce with some kind of good dressing." Mr. Morrow advises the sowing of seed in a small bed and transferring the plants to a larger bed. To head well, the Big Boston plants should stand about 12 inches apart and the Iceberg about 15 inches. Lettuce needs plenty of moisture. A little nitrate fertilizer will also help th* plants to head. | For protection in cold weather, Mr. Morrow advises a canvas or sash. The plants will tolerate some cold weather but will not stand freezing. Say, Parents! IS YOUR BOY OR GIRL AWAY AT SCHOOL, IN COLLEGE OR IN THE UNIVERSITY?
