CHANGES NEEDED IN PRIMARY LAWS
Every time a primary election is held in the
state, somebody rises up to say mat me oiu cuu
,mnt,nn TYiPthod of nominating was preferable to
L nrimrv. The wonder is that we do not hear
L,. noofirra tn fViP nrimarv than we do. It is
auuic yj ujwiiuiiu f " - .
TTiPana an ideal way of selecting cancli
dates. It means that two or three elections must
jbe held to elect our officers, when one election
wmilfl bfi sufficient if the nominations could be
made satisfactorily otherwise. But those of us
who remember the old convention methods are
. l 1.1 1
aware that they had some serious oDjecuons al
so. It is true that the nation still clings to the
convention method, and a national primary
would be rather clumsy, it seems to us. But we
have yet to fall upon .anything connected with
politics -that is altogether. satisfactory Itds .a
choice between evils, and with..ourrpicesenttser
cretballot; the primary is preferable to. thereon
vention. But some changes.should be made in
the laws governing the primary. For instance, we
can see no real benefit to be derived from hold
ing the election from sunrise until sunset these
long days in June. It would be as fair for one
side as the other if the time of holding the polls
open were changed from the present plan to, say
ten hours from eight in the morning until six in
the afternoon. This might cause some inconven
ience for mill workers, but if the hours were fix
ed that way, the voters could make some ar
rangements to vote if they really wished to vote.
The time will come when sunrise to sunset for
yoting will be looked back upon as an ancient
custom. We woulcf like to see our next legisla
ture start something more modern than our pres
ent out-of-date method.

LAST WEEK TO SIGN-UP ,
OFF THE ROCKS
, WITH LANDON AND KNOX"
The above is a slogan used at the Republican
Convention held last- week in Cleveland, Ohio.
$eiore Jinox was nominated for the running
mate of Landon, thex North Carolina delegation
had originated the slogan, "Land Safe With Lan
don". Mr. S. B. Roberts, of Marshall, had sug
gested several weeks ago that a good slogan
would be "Land With Landon". However, this
slogan was not made public until the North Car
olina delegation had an opportunity to cast a
complimentary vote for its favorite son, Judge
Isaac M. Meekins. When that matter was dis
posed of, the North Carolinians were free to
shout with the westerners, "Land Safe With Lan
don" until Publisher Knox became the nominee
for Vice-President. iThe Convention then began
shouting v"Off the Rocks With Landon & Knox".
Mr. Roberts tells, usithat.he fieures that ahnut
To all landowners who have not
filled in work sheets for the soil con
servation you only have until this
Saturday, June 20. The federal gov
ernment will heln you finance your
farm by your cooperation. More
than 1400 farmers have already sign
ned up, but there are 2000 more land
owners who should take advantage
of this jDoportunity for 1936
This new program is being made
onsipr all Mia time to line Un with
for benefit payments.
For examples, where wheat is
sown to a legume mixture half of
that acreage will count as s6il con
serving.
Realizing that legume seed is
scarce, if peas or beans are planted
in 2 to 3 feet rows and cultivated
once or twice, you will generally make
as much hay as if the peas or beans
are sown broadcast. This will cer
tainly make the seed go further and
will enable the grower to receive his
payments under the Soil Conserva
tion progfam.
The .question frequently arises as
to whether sorghum or Sudan grass
sown with peas or beans for hay is
soil conserving. If beans or peas
predominate the acreage will count
as conserving but if the sorghum or
Sudan grass predominates and is cut
for hay the acreage will count as
deleting.
Provision is beinl? made in the
classification of crops to provide
that sorghum, and rye left on the
land and not harvested will be -class
ified as. soil conserving' for 1936.

we would i like to stress : to every
grower the importance of ' seeding,
before it is tod late, a sufficient eere-
alge of conserving crops in order to
qualify for the soil conserving pay
ment and as large a soil building: pay
ment as possible.
Due to the unfavorable seasons
caused By the dry weather, many of
the farmers of the state have lost
some of their legume crops such as
lespedeza, especially where it wis
sown late in the spring, and a good
many of the , other legume v crops
have not been planted due to the un
usual weather conditions. These
crops are necesary in order to qual
ify for the soil conserving payment
under the Soil Conservation Program.
FINISHING BROILERS

broilers should be properly finished
to make most profit. When sold di-J

gets all the profit.
First, cockerels should be senera-
ted from the pullets to do the best.
Second, about ten days before market
ing1 the cockrels should be fed a
fattening mash. A mixture of corn
meal and some kind of fluid milk is
used by many poultry producers.
This should be fed wet 5 or 6 times
day regularly, all broilers will
clean up in about five minutes. Do
not leave any mixture in trough to
sour, ine mash should be of
crumby slop condition. Broiler pro
ducers using this practice find it
ays well to fatten for extra profits.
