THE JOHNSTONIAN—SUN. SELMA. N. C.
Reunion of 113th Field
Artillery at Fort Bragg
Winston-Salem, Aug. 12.—The sec
ond triennial reunion of the 113
Field Artillery, 30th Division, A. E.
F., will be held at Fort Bragg, N.
C., on 4-ugu.st 15 and 16. Prepara-
tion.s have been made to entertain
all who come and an attendance of
over 500 is expected. The fir.st re
union held three years ago, at Fort
Bragg, was attended by about 300.
Major Robert M. Hanes, of Win
ston-Salem, Chairman of the Reunion
Committee, sent out 1750 letters to
veterans of the regiment, using a
mailing list compiled in 1919. About
500 letters have been returned, in
dicating that 500 veterans of the
regiment cannot be located.
Major Hanes and his committee
have received assurances of wide
spread interest in the event and he
predicts that the gathering will be
a large one.
Arrangements have been made for
varied and interesting entertain
ment. The 113th Field Artillery of
the North Carolina National Guard,
name-sake and successor of the fa
mous old war-time outfit, will be in
camp at Fort Bragg and will stage
a review for the veterans. The regi
ment is commanded by Colonel Wil
liam T. Joyner, of Raleigh, who was
a captain in the regiment during
the War. Many of the enlisted men
and officers of the regiment served
with the old outfit during the World
War.
General Holbrook, who is in com
mand at Fort Bragg, will arrange
many entertainment features, includ
ing maneuvers by the crack horse-
drawn battalion of light field artil
lery now stationed at Fort Bragg.
This outfit is armed with French
75’s, the same type of guns used
by the I13th Field Artillery dur
ing the World War. The new 113th
is armed with 155’s, which are trac
tor-drawn, and they do not appeal
particularly to the veterans who
learned the trade with horses as
the motive power.
Arrangements have been made for
mess and sleeping quarters at Fort
Brag-g. There wil be army cots
and blankets in army tents for those
who care to sleep and food will be
served in army style, with cooks,
K. P.’s and 'mess sergeants out of
regular army outfits at Fort Bragg.
There will be no charge for the
entertainment, other than a regis
tration fee of $3.00, which will pay
for al meals, lodging and entertain'-
ment.
DROUTH ALARMS
NUT GRASS GROWS FROM
UNDERGROUND TUBERS
One reason why nut grass, one
of the worst weeds of the South-
we.st and the Southeast, is so per
sistent, according to M. W. Talbot,
weed specialist in the United States
Department of Agriculture, is be
cause it sprouts from underground
tubers, or “nuts,” even when these
are buried very deep. On each
plant the nuts are arranged on long,
slender, underground, stems like wide
ly .separtated beads on a string.
Uusually the nuts occur in the top
foot of soil. In recent tests at the
Mississippi Delta Experiment Station
it was found -that nuts buried to a
d epfh of 4 feet, and one nut buried
(i feet, sprouted and .sent up shoots
to tfec surface. It is not yet known
bow long’ nuts will live in the soil
awmiting favorable conditiorus for
germination. One thing is certain,
however, nut grass can not be con
trolled shimply by cutting off the
tops, for growth after the tops are
clippirf is .o.rnazingly rapid. A re-
marlvable discovery of the Mississippi
Delta Station is that individual nuts,
when permitted to germinate and
grow unmolested have produced
more than a thousand other nuts in
one summer.
A special treatment for three
years has proved an excellent meth
od of handling nut grass-infected
land. The following definite opera
tions must carefully be observed:
(1) Prepare the seed bed with more
than ordinary care. (2) Plant the
ipfested land to corn or cotton, in
checkrows. (3) Cultivate very thor
oughly, at least once, a week. (4)
Remove the crop as soon as it is
.mature; plow and harrow the land,
and seed it to a winter cover crop
adapted to the locality. A mixture
«f oats and hairy vetch has been
widely recommended for this pur-
:pose. (5) The following spring,
after the oats and vetch have been
Jiarvested for hay, repeat the whole
process. Cotton may be planted the
second year, if corn was planted
■iiee first.
Nut grass does not thrive in dense
afrade. Next to rigid cultivation
tinimgii a long period, the best hope
rf eradicating nut grass is by smoth
ering' ft wfitli some shade crop, such
as vt fveti>earis, soybeans, or cowpeas.
- In Louisiana, two reecntly introduced
:r!i.Tieties of sugar-cane, known as
P. O. J. 36-M and P. 0. J. 213,
have proved useful in controlling
lut grass and other weed,s, when
planted on 'tlie same tract and in
good stands for about three years.
The Federal Farm Board is deep
ly concerned by the reports of seri
ous drouth in a number of agricul
tural regions.
The United States Department of
Agriculture and its allied agencies
are now surveying the dry sections
to determine the degree of dam
age to crops and its prospective
effect on farmeis and their livestock.
In the meantime, the Federal Farm
Board is studying its own power for
financial aid.
Under the Agricultural Marketing
Act the Federal Farm Board can
not give anything to anybody, but
it has considerable discretion in the
matter of terms on loans. There is
also the Grain Stabilization Cor
poration through which the Board
may work. ,
If existing feed distribution agen
cies or other business men and farm
ers in any stricken community, coun
ty, district, or state will form under
the laws of their own state a re
sponsible corporation which will
guarantee the payment of notes to
be given individual farmers,' a plan
probably can be (>uickly developed
whereby the Grain Stabilization Cor
poration can sell feed grain of any
kind in car lots at market prices
i on easy payments of one or two
' years. The local organization would
arrange for local distribution of the
, feed thus supplied and see to the
colection of the farmers’ notes when
due. It would make no profit on its
own services and would make prop-
’■r local arrangements for the pay
ment of freight.
The Federal Farm Board can in
thi.s way help every community that
is willing to help itself. The Grain
Stabilization Corporation has plenty
of grain and can buy more to re
place that sold for feed, thus keep-
ng its own supplies intact.
The plan is believed to be practi
cal and workable. It would relieve
'iuffering, dispose of a part of the
grain surplus, and put no man nor
community under the necessity of
asking for charity. If local com
munities will do their part, no sub
stantial farmer need lack for feed
for his livestock and no stock need
be sacrificed on present markets.

NO VACATION FOR
THE -\UGUST GARDEN
The home gardner who looks for-
•/ard to a plentiful supply of fresh
/egetables this fall and winter will
take a vacation himself but wdll
,i;eep the g-arden at work.
E. B. Morrow, extension horticul
turist at State College, says it may
look hard to think of .planting vege
table seeds when the thermometer
's hanging around in the nineties,
ret there are many crops which
.nay be planted during the second
md third weeks of August that
,?ill mature before frost
Among the stand-bys which
'le recommends are snap beans,
'leets, cabbage, carrots, cowpeas.
"orn, lettuce and turnips.
Snap beans may be planted every
■',vo or three weeks up until 60 days
■>3fore the first killing frost. This
".leans as late as September the
first, in the central part of the State.
Young beets .-will stand a great deal
of ho't weather once they are up
ind growin.g. The crop prefers cqo’
weather but will .give a harvest if
planted ten to 12 weeks before a
killing frost. ,
Plants of the early maturing cab-
'la.ge such as Copenhagen Market
'-{1 Jersey Wakefield may be set as
late as the second week of August
vith assurance of a crop. The crop
should be forced with a nitro.gen
side-dresser as soon as the plants
are established, recommends Mr.
Morrow.
Carrots require the same condi
tions as beets and will stand some
frost but not heavy freezes. Cow
peas of the Blackeye variety should
be given a row or two in the fall
garden for home use.
Early varieties of corn may also
be planrted in the eastern and cen
tral sections of the State with as
surance of a crop before frost. Let-
I tuce is worth trying as a fall crop
I if there is some fertile soil avail-
i able. No fall garden is complete
! without a good space to turnips, says
Mr. Morrow.

• Welfare of Workers
Even in the gigantic mergers that
have taken place within the last two
years there remains more than ever
the necessity for a leader, an aggres
sive personality, whose duty it is to
see that basic principles are not for
gotten, that tho rights and privileges
of theMndividual workers and the cus-
I tomers they serve are as ■vrell pro-
! vided for as in the smailer business
units.
It is gratifying to note that our cor
porations are giving more and more
concern to the welfare of their work
ers. Numerous benefit organizations
have been formed, opportunities of
fered for advancement of education
and position, hospital service estab
lished and insurance and retirement
pensions provided.
This general humanitarian move^
SOYBEANS
The soybean was introduced into
the United States as early as 1804,
but only in the last 10 years have
We really begun to appreciate it.
Production is now reachi.ng- com-
m,ercial proportions, aceordin,g' to the
United States- Department of Agri
culture. The crop has many things
in its favor. It produces a large
yield of beans and an excellent for
age. It is easy to grow and to har
dest. The beans have great possi
bilities in the production of oil,
meal, and human food and indus
trial products. Soybean production
will cotinue to increase as we find
better methods and machinery for
handling the crop and still more u.ses
for the soybean and its products
for industrial purposes.
Onion growers who through selec
tion have developed a > strain of
onions that is especially adapted to
their local conditions may often find
it advantageous to grow and save
their own supply of seed. Us>eless
the grower has a clear conception of
thee type of onion for which he is
striving and unless his soil and cli
matic conditions are suitable for the
saving of seed, he will find 'It pre
ferable to purchase his supply of
seed. The right time to gather
onion seed is when the inside of
the grain has reached the dough
stage.' Onion seed becomes black
very early, but this change of col-er
is not reliable as an indication of
ripeness, and often deceives an in
experienced grower. The heads
should be harvested by cutting them
from the stems just before the 'first-
formed seed ^egins to shatter in
handling. The seed heads are spread
to dry on cotton sheets or on a
smoth t;,4'ht floor where they will
be projected from the weather and
will have plenty of ventilation.

By R. S. HECHT,
American Bankers Association.
My observations for many years,
both as an employee and as an execu
tive, have convinced me that the rea
son some men and women go ahead
and others do not is that some keep
themselves constantly prepared to ac
cept and fulfill larger duties and re
sponsibilities as they offer, and some
do not.
Grant, as we must, that there is a
certain element of luck in the condi
tions under which opportunity for
promotion comes to different men and
women, we nevertheless must also see
that it is each individual’s own stats
of preparedness which determines his
ability to seize opportunity if and
when it comes, and having seized It,,
to succeed in meeting the greater de
mands which it Inevitably places upon
him.
Real advancement never means go
ing ahead to easier tasks, hut always
to harder ones. Opportunity for ad
vancement is worthless unless in ac
cepting it you are able to carry with
you the abilities and qualifications that
prepare you to meet the heavier exac
tions that are an inherent part of op
portunity.
It is far better to go into action in
the field of enlarged responsibility
prepared and qualified, rather than
that you and the institution you work
for shall he exposed to the hazard of
your having to build up to new re
sponsibilities after having assumed
them.
The new spirit of all business seeks
to prepare its people in advance
through education for the highef
duties it holds in store for them.
