Crops la North Carolina are "re
; aarkably cleaV as a result ot exces
' slve drought and frequent cultivation,
according to the aetnl-motithly crop re-
port of Frank Parker, Agricultural
Statistician of the Department of Ag
riculture. The dry conditions are
showing most effect along the north
era border, the report states. '
"Truck crops and herbaceous plants
are suffering" the report continued.
"Melons are shedding and not produc
tag the site they should. Stands of
- some crops 'are Irregular due
weather conditions.
"Corn Is late, small, and in the ex
cessively dry areas, Is stunted. Many
flections showed curled blades. Crop
1s clean and In the southern half of
the state, looking very fine.
"The cotton crop Is generally, good.
wonderfully rapid growth having tas-
en place, plants are branching and
squares forming well. Stands ' are
fairly good In the main belt. The
weevil effects have been noticed la
only a few border counties. Root lice
, ' Is bothering some.
"Tobacco Is suffering heavily from
the dry weather. Stands are irregu
lar, especially on stiff soils. The
growth is stocky and leaves close te
a-ether. Good color in the southern
half of the state, but yellowish, small
and sickly in the main, or old belt
area where the acreage is slightly re
. duced. .
; "The wheat crop Is the best for
' several years. Spotted areas show
undeveloped grain but mostly it
good. The harvesting season was
favorable for saving the grain. Sev
eral places expect to thresh directly
from the field when cut. The grain
la remarkably well cured and dry.
. "Apples are short and seriously
affected by Insects, as are peaches
where not heavily sprayed.,
"Peaches in the Sand Hill area will
nrobablv yield better than was ex
pected unless the dry . weather con
tlnuea. Orchards are in nice condl-
. tlon. - '
"Truck is in poor condition, espe
cially in the Northern Coastal Belt,
where rain is greatly needed. Melons
over the whole area are suffering se
verely from dry weather.
"Although scarce, farm labor la
handicapping the farm work more by
its independent nature than by short
age. This state suffered least by its
migration northward.
"Considerable dissatisfaction is ex
isting with the Cooperative Market
ling due to the members being dis
satisfied with payments. The well or
ganized tobacco ' warehousemen ' are
(not displeased at this. Most people
jbelleve that the idea of the organiza
tion is good and want it to succeed.

State Banks In. Good Shapo.
"The condition ot state banks, in
North Carolina, ia much better than
usual,'' the State Banking Department
announced, following a survey con
ducted after the failure ot two nation
al banking institutions.
"After the failure of the Commer
cial National Bank, at. Wilmington,
and the People's National Bank, at
Salisbury, both of which are not un
der the Jurisdiction of the State
Banking Department,", said . Judge
George P. Pell, of the , Corporation
Commission, "we made a survey of
the state banking Held and decided
that after the failure ot several small
banks, whose. , weakness is attribut
able to these national banks and to
the shortcomings of the old banking
laws, the dsyi of state bank failures
will be over."
The State Banking Department is
one of the branches of the Corpora
tion Commission . and Judge Pell is
most directly Interested I't the super
vision of the" work.
The Commercial National Bank
was closed by the comptroller sev
eral months ago, Thomas. E. Cooper
was head of the Institution and W.
B. Cooper, . lieutenant governor ot
North Carolina, a stockholder, J. D.
Norwood, chairman of the State Dem
ocratic Executive Committee, was
head of the People's National Bank
when it also was closed recently by
the federal banking department.
Numerous civil suits have been
filed against Thomas E. Cooper in
connection with the failure and' the
filing of criminal proceedings in
Wake county resulted in a settlement
of this particular case.
Serious Shortaoe Irt- Tteachers Ranks.
A serious shortage of teachers ex
ists in North Carolina according to
Jule B. Warner secretary of the
North Carolina Educational Assocla
and Miss Edith F. Gilbert, his place
ment secretary.
Despite the fact that, many addi
tional registrations have come to the
office of the bureau during the past
few days, a large number tf teach
ers still can he placed, said Miss Gil
bert. Mr. Warren, who has Just re
turned from a visit to summer schools
In the western part of the state, re
ported that practically all of the bet
ter trained and qualified teachers
have secured positions already and
that only a small number is now
available in these sehoels. .
"Any teacher in the state who has
not obtained a position for the year
Is Invited to use the services of the
placement bureau," said Mr. Warren.
This service Is rendered members of
the association at cost. A slightly
larger fee Is charged non-members,
While placements cannot be guaran
teed registrants will be notifle 1 of
positions.
"About the only class of teachers
In which there Is an apparent surplus
Is the high school principals.

bling ot its appropriation by the last
legislature .will make possible work
on a larger scale than ever before.

plete survey of every county in the
State relative to child labor condi
tions in industrial plants, including

funds. '
This survey will enable the Stats
Child Welfare Commission to gather
Information concerning the industrial
growth of The State and the con.
ditlon sof the children and women
of the State and to make recommenda
tions to meet any of the .problems

Commends Forestry Methods of France
Charles Lathrop Pack, president
of the American Tree association, who
has been sending millions of young
trees to France to help reforest the
devastated battle areas, commends to
Americans the methods of the French
as told In a report received by the
association. He says the operations
In the forest of Roentgen near Alx In
Chopelle and In the forest near CI eves
are conducted along the most scien
tific lines.
"We find," says Mr. Peck, "that
the French and the Belgians have cut
something like four million board feet,
with the coming growth fully' in mind,
"This Is much different from the
slashing and girdling done by the Ger
mans during the war In their retreats,
In this French method there Is a great
lesson for the United States. With
France there are always more trees
coming.
' "In the United States there are
millions of acres of Idle lund once covered with growing trees. They could
be that way today bad scientific forestry been practiced in this country
during the last forty years. There should be a forest crop In this country

"Our idle land was. not -made idle by an Invading army with cannon, but
an Invading army with xes. But we are In much the same situation as
France, although from different causes. The thing to do now Is to reforest
these Idle acres, for our newspapers and our factories must have forest prod'
nets f. o. b. the warehouse door.' "

Hungarian Invents Far-Seeing Machine
The telehor,' the machine which
sees at great distances, is the Inven
tion of Denes Mihaly, twenty-nine
years of age, the chief engineer of
the Budapest telephone works and
head of several other mechanical or
ganizations. Mihaly, a well-known stu
dent of high frequency electrical cur
rents, has no less than 62 Inventions
on the market, including the speaking
klnematograph, a new system of col
ored klnematogroph, a plastlcal klne
matograph, and many automobile and
wireless Inventions. .
The telehor Is made of two sep
arate Instruments, the receiver and the
reproducer. The connection of the
two Instruments may be effected either
through a wire, wire connection or
wireless. Every photograph, land
scape, figure, handwriting or any ob
ject which Is placed before the ob
jective of the receiver Is seen under
less than 1-10 of a second on the
screen of the reproducer. The principle of the telehor Is similar to that of
the photo-machine of Professor Korn. The latter, however, makes necessary
an ordinary photo proceeding.
With the telehor It is a question of transferring moving pictures, similar
to those which appear In an ordinary camera. Every time the objective is
opened, the electro-light transformer Is effected In the telehor, also, with a
selenium cell which changes the different light elements of the picture to sim
ilar electro-light currents In the Instrument. The obstacle to effecting this up
to now nas been in the nature of the selenium, which acted very slowly so
that the cell was Ineffective.' The solution of the problem was made possible
in the telehor with the Invention of an exceedingly small selenium cell, which Is
capable of registering 100,000 light changes per second,

Horace Towner Has Ungrateful Job
Only a little while ano Horace
M. Towner, former congressman from
Iowa, was appointed by the President
to be the governor of Porto Rico, to
succeed E. Mont Relly. Scarcely had
he assumed his new duties than "ho
found himself confronted with an op
position as determined as that which
had succeeded In having Relly ousted
from the position. '
Governor Towner is charged w 1th
Ignoring the Republican party, which
Governor Relly favored In his appoint
ments, and with turning virtually all
offices over to Unionists, the dominant
party of the . Island, whose appeals
te Washington brought the change
In administration.
President Harding probably will
be carried Into the whirlwind of Porto
Rlcan politics when he visits San
Juan after his trip to Alaska. Re
ports to Secretary Weeks show con
tinued friction. He considers It vir
tually Impossible to name an executive who will please both factions. The
secretary denies Governor Towner has Ignored" the Republicans completely.
Pleas for the removal of Towner are expected when Mr. Harding reaches the
island-." '., ?"'" V- -

Smash Records In New License Tags.
One hundred and twelve' thousand
automobile license plates, , costing
slightly over two million dollars had
been distributed to as many automo
bile Owners throughout the 1 State
when the license , bureau closed for

midnight, breaking all records I6f the

Twelve months ago the year closed
with only 76,000 new licenses issued.
Back in 1911 Hon, W. S. Fielding
of Canada negotiated with President
Taft for a treaty of reciprocity be
tween the United States and Canada.
It failed because ' eastern Canada
opposed It Mr. Fielding is now finance
minister, and recently he made an
other trip to Washington to revive the
proposition. It Is said in Ottawa his
plan will have the support of a large
majority In' the new Canadian parlia
ment. The farmers of the w estern
provinces have increased their, voting
strength, and the Liberals stand with
them on this proposition.'
. i The Fielding proposal, ' made in
the. house of commons at Ottawa, Is
that President Harding reduce by 00
per cent the duties on cattle, wheat,
flour, oats, barley, potatoes, onions,
turnips, hay and 4tsh. The Canadian
government would then be authorized
"to make such reductions of duties on
similar articles Imported into Canada
from the United States." Preliminary to uuj euort to secure a brouu arrange
ment which would call for the ratification of congress and the Canadian parlia
ment, efforts will be directed to that action which the President Is already em
powered by congress to take under the-Fordney-McCumber tariff.
